The convention was as tame to-day as it
was lively yesterday. After being in ses-
sion till midnight and nominating the
head of the ticket there was little life
left in the delegates and only minor places
on the State ticket to be lively over. Owing
10 the way in which the factional lines
had been drawn by the Mckinley and
the Foraker men in nominating General
Bushnell last night for Governor, il was
evident hat the slate headed by Bushnell
would go through and that candidates
not or the same slate would go down like
Nash, Hoyt, Poe, Keifer, Harris, Barger
and Nevin had previously gone down be-
fore the anti-administration combination.
The field held out against Bushnell for
six hard fought ballots last night aud
the candidates for other State offices to-day
contested everything, holding the c0nven-
ton in continuous session from 0 a. m.
to 2:15 p. m. and all that time balloting for
minor nominations and engaged i'm the
dullest routine bushes on State affairs.
After the convention went wild over ex-
Governor Foraker's appearance yesterday
II was promised that he would speak to-
day and that there would be some lively
scenes. But Foraker was too much en-
IN ID dc f.fnn1a .a-aAI =. fha
state offices TO be called out. He was dis
tinctly in IL. He sat on the platform with
Sherman. Foster, Grosvenor and others
most or the time. but he was always in
communication with those on the floor.
With a single exception, in which little
Interest was taken. the Bushnell slate went
through complete, for the eight places on
the State ticket secured a majority of the
members and all the officers of the State
committee and really made a clean sweep
of the old regime.
BLOW TO M'KINLEY'S CANDIDACY.
While there were many disappointed can
didates and their lieutenants, yet the most
material thing for the future are the
conditions that confront Governor McKin-
ley. His presidential boom in Ohio is i'm
the same embarrassment as was Sherman's
candidacy under the Foster administration
with Garfield's senatorial annex in 1890.
In 1854 Sherman had the Blaine element as
well as Foraker and Foster to contend
with. In 1883 Sherman had the same old
experience, and in 1896 there will be a
Mckinley delegation from Ohio to the
Republican national convention, but it will
be selected by Foraker and Bushnell, no
matter what may be the result of the
State election next November. The For
aker-Bushnell combination has control of
all the party machine and the present
party organization continues till after the
SELECTION of the delegates to the next Re-
Bushnell will be two of the delegates at
large themselves and they are not at all
likely TO grant Governor Mckinley per-
mission TO name the other two, although
II is believed they will consent TO Sherman
and Foster going to the national conven-
ton as the other two delegates at large.
or course the machine in such strong
hands will also control the selection of
district delegates and there are some who
think that Foraker may come out in 1896
as Garfield did In 1880, which would mean
that Mckinley would come out as Sherman
did at that time and in succeeding years.
After the defeat Of Foraker by Sherman
for Senator two years ago, the friends of
the latter rested on the triumphs of Sher-
man and Mckinley while the latter went
TO work with more regard for their organi-
zation than ever and with a distinct view
TO regaining ascendency in 1896. They have
secured at this convention everything they
were after. If the Republicans carry the
State next November and Bushnell becomes
Governor and Foraker Senator, there is no
telling all that will happen in Ohio in 1896
years as Governor, he would probably sue
coed Sherman in the Senate as well as
Foraker succeed Brice and the old school
or Republicans would all be retired. There
never was a State convention in Ohio that
involved so many radical changes for the
future as the one just closed with the
Foraker Bushnell men in the saddles for
further conquests.

proceedings OF the convention will bring
about a revolution in State affairs, being
a complete turn since the defeat OF the.
Forakerites in 1889. yet II Is conceded that
mckinley will be accorded the Ohio dele

are whisperings, however, TO the effect that
the delegation will be no more sincere
than the one Sherman had from this State
