GAINESVILLE, O.. May 2S.-The nominal
ton for governor by the Ohio Republic
can state convention Of Asa S. Bushnell
is generally regarded as a victory for
the Foraker men over the Mckinley
men. The Foraker men were able to
concentrate on Bushnell and their OPP
ponents remained divided. Ex-Governor
Foraker on his arrival at noon made
several speeches in which he compli-
mented all the gubernatorial candid
ates. but he worked for Bushnell while
Sherman, Foster and other leaders op-
posed the favorite. Hoyt and Nash
made brilliant speeches and were on
the ground hustling while General
Bushnell remained at his home in
Springfield. General Bushnell is at the
head of the Warder, Bushnell & Gless-
ner, manufacturers of harvesters. and
is worth several millions. He was
captain in the civil war.
The state convention was called to
order here today promptly at p. m.
by Colonel Joseph c. Bonner, chair
man of the stae committee.
A half hour previous the hall was
packed to its full capacity of 5000 and
many were unable to gain admittance.
Senator Sherman was given stirring
ovation when he was escorted into the
hall at $50 by Congressman Van Vor-
his and Judge Granger. Ex-Secretary
Foster. the members Of congress, sew
eral candidates and others were cheer
ed as they entered. Among the work.
delegates were Herman G. Denison, son
Of the war governor, and Harry Gar
field. son Of the Murdered president.
While Chairman Bonner, who is
member Of McKinley's staff. was elo-
quently congratulating the Republic
cans on the result of the last Ohio
election and fOrecasting another tri-
umph for next November in his intro
ductory speech. Ex-Governor Foraker
entered the hall and very boisterous
demonstration followed his appear
ance. After Chairman Bonner had
made repeated efforts to secure order
and proceed with his Introductory re-
marks. Ex-Governor Foraker came
to the front of the platform and said:
"Gentlemen of the conventional

the deliberations of the convention.

and we will stay just as long as our
business may require. At the proper
time, when that will be in order, I
will be very glad indeed to exchange
greetings with you, but I beg for the
present that you will let the chair
man Of the central committee proceed
with his speech in oredr to expediate
the business of the convention
Great applause).
SHERMAN FOR CHAIRMAN.
Even after this appeal it was with
great difficulty that Colonel Bonner
concluded his remarks and introduced
Senator John Sherman as the tenn
porary chairman. Senator Sherman
met the demonstrations at first with
the remark that he hoped to see the
Republicans of Ohio keep up such a
pitch of enthusiasm till the next No
vember election.
He then made a speech accepting the
position Of temporary chairman.

speech the twenty-one congressional
