OHIO REPUBLICANS.
CLEVELAND Ohio, April 27.-The Re-
publican State Convention met here this
afternoon. Hon. Charles p. Griffin of
Toledo was made temporary Chairman,
and delivered brief address in review of
the records of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, State and National. For
aker arrived here this morning, and his
lieutenants have been rustling ever since
The outlook now is that he has succeeded
in breaking the slate for delegates-at-
large to the National Convention, and
that he Will have a larger representation
than was accorded to him.
Judge King, in introducing Chairman
Griffin, contrived to name before any
body else Governor Mckinley, bringing
out tremendous applause. When he re-
ferred later to Secretary Blaine an uproar
OF applause followed from all sides of the
hall. President Harrison's name was
also literally cheered. Chairman Griffin,
however, later brought in warm refer
ence to ex-Governor Foraker, and bed
lam broke loose again.
After the reading of various committees
Daugherty of Fayette moved to adjourn
till tomorrow, so the delegates could at
tend the ball game. The motion was un-
animously carried, and the hall was de-
serted in an instant.
The situation tonight is that the Sher-
man forces are apparently more than
ever determined to name three OF the four
delegates at large from Ohio to the Ma
tional Convention at Minneapolis, and
the Foraker cohorts insist that they
should have at least two. The certain
withdrawal of Conger from the list of
possibilities was one of the developments
of the evening.

Yer question, an honest dollar is de-
manded.

understood to have been omitted in de-

deavor to defeat them.
