The Convention was one OF the largest that
ever responded to the call of the party mana
gers. Five thousand persons were packed into
Memorial Hall.
Just a moment before the Convention was
called to order the form OF Senator Sherman
was seen moving down the aisle toward the
platform. and the delegates on the floor and the
spectators in the gallery jumped to their feet,
and there went up a mighty shout, that was
repeated again and again.
Foraker got the honors however. When State
Chairman J. c. Bonner of Toledo made a COM

was "a tumult OF enthusiasm.
The Ex-Governor sat with the Hamilton
county delegation, He bowed his acknowl-
edgmentr, and the noise grew louder. and
finally ho allowed himself to be escorted
to the platform, where lie shook hands
with Senator Sherman and took a seat by his
side.
Chairman Bonner resumed his address. but
the cries for Foraker continued until. stepping
to the footlights, he made a request for order,
and reminded the delegates that it was too
third, timo the Chairman picked up his
notes. but the noise could not be stopped.
Foraker soon whispered in Senator Shernans
ear, and the latter assuming the gavel without
the Convention like parent chiding child for

Senator was also cheered when he called atten-
when the Republican party was born, and he
attended at its birth. AS Senator Sherman con-
tinued a delegate cried:
- N 'N 'S''''>' N'' '''N . W N''' '' '''
The Senator replied:

In his speech the Senator said this on the sill

After The senator had finished a recess was
taken until O'Clock. and then the temporary
organization was made permanent.
The .ucas county contest was settled in favor
of seating the Foraker delegation headed by
Mayor Major and unseating Of that headed by
Editor Locke of the Blade.
Somi2ntions for Governor were in order at
500 and speeches we're limited to five minutes.
with no secondinG speeches.
The Convention is unanimously for Mckinley
for President Foraker will support him there
until there Is good reason to favor another's
candidacy.
The Convention of to-day. although not
openly hostile TO Mckinley. was not for him to
any surprising extent. Foraker Is in the saddle
again. and when the proper time comes the
little Napoleon must move out of the way.
After the nomination OF Bushnell had been
made unanimous the Convention adjourned un-
Til to- morrow morning.
