who had been insisting that lio was op.

his friends with an enthusiasm that in
creased with each passing hour.
Tho result OF all this was TINT when

but resolved to mako vigorous fight
against instructions for tho Illinois can

diately after the meeting OF tho various
congressional delegations and tho selec-

on resolutions met and began the pre-.
paration OF tho platform. ,..
Long before the hour OF 2 tho hall OF
house OF representatives was crowded
to sutlocation. Promptly at ., Hon. d.
p Phelps, chairman OF tho state central
committee, called tho convention TO or.

Williams, OF Carmi, as tho temporary
chairman of tho convention.
Tho announcement was made OF tho
state committeeman, presidential cleo

vention committees were then appoint

men gained the first victory-of the day
by tho adoption OF a motion 10 refer all
resolutions to the committee on resolu.
tions without debate, thus preventing
the reading OF any eXtravagant Glove
land resolutions in the convention.
A prolonged squabble then followed
over temporary adjournment, the
Altgeld forces fighting for one days
session and those opposing Tor a two
days session. The Altgeld resolution
finally carried and the convention ad-
journed 10 reasonable at 1880 in the
afternoon. When the convention reas-

CLEVELAND, o., April GA kaloidc.
:cOpic change in the Ohio political sltu-
s,ion was the result to-day OF tho ar
rival OF Ex-Governor J. B. Foraker on
The battle ground. A complete rcmod-
cling Of tho slate for delegates at large
10 tho national convention was the
principal surprise. Foraker slipped
quietly into the city at different hour
from what had been generally under
stood and wasted no time, but plunged
Il, once into the thick OF tho fight.
For one thing it was said to be set
tied that Gen. Bushnell, although he
had osicnsibly retired in favor Of A. i.
COngcr ior delegate at large, would be
supported by the Forakerites, and that
the Sherman leaders had virtually
agreed to the substitution. The retire
ment OF Chairman Hahn, as ono OF the
big FOUR delegates at large, was also
being negotiated for, the object being
10 secure a man who had not been so
cOnspicuously anti-Foraker.
While yesterday the nomination OF
Taylor for the head OF the state ticket
was claimed by his friends rs 4 walk
away, bets to-day were made even that
the successful man would be some one
else, though no one vonlurcd TO say
that the nominee might not be equally
rs strong q Sherman man.
For the remainder Of the state ticket
factional lines did not seem to be
strongly drawn.
The membership OF the state central
committee. 10 which great interest at
taches, was completed by the district
conventions.
Promptly at 2:S0 p. III. the state con.
ventlon began ut the Cleveland Music
Hall, in the presence OF an unusually
large and excited assemblase. After
prayer by the Rev. Charles T. Pomercy,
Of the second Presbyterian church,
Hon. Charles p. Griffin, Of Toledo, was
introduced ~ chairman. Chairman
Griffin spoke as follows:

threatened; the welfare OF the citizens

BY enemies within the republic. Then
It was ,hat the Republican party was

brilliant public services and those per.

favored hearers. [Cheers.
No orator, however gifted, can ever
praise General Grant. Cheers. The

that the architect can plan or
wealth can execute is justified
when the name OF Grant is in.
scribed upon it. Cheers This
