OHIO'S CIRCUS
A Pair of Asas at the Head of the Ticket
"A Josiah Allen.

GAINESVILLE, Ohio. May 29.-Although
II was midnight when the republican
| state convention on the sixth ballot
nominated General Asa Bushnell of
Springfield, for governor, yet the dele
gates were up early working for their
favorites for the other nominations.
They cheered Chairman Foraker heart
lily as he entered the hall. The conven-
ton reassembled at 3 a. m. to-day. Ex-
Secretary Charles Foster, chairman of
the committee on resolutions. presented
the platform, which was adopted and
cheered as read.
General A. w. Jones of Young 5town.
was nominated for lieutenant governor
by acclamation. General Jones was.
like General Bushnell, a captain i'm the
civil war. Both were on General Fora
kers staff and are great friends of tho
ex-governor.
The Foraker men named the whole
state ticket by almost the same run
ming vote as that for governor last
night. The Foraker men also secured
control of the state central committee.
The most notable defeat to-day was
that of Major Charles Dick for auditor.
He has been chairman of the state exc
cutive committee for three years and is
Governor McKinley's manager. Dick
was defeated by w. ID. Guilbert. one of
the most aggressive Foraker men in
the state. Senator Sherman, Secretary
Foster and other old-time leaders oc-
cupied seats on the stage and saw the
slaughter of "Mossbacks' by Kids i"
1t is conceded Mckinley will be accord
ed the Ohio delegation to the next ma
tional convention, but il is whispered
the delegation will be no more sincere
than that Sherman had when a can
didate for nomination for the presi-
dency.
Following is the ticket as completed: !:
Governor, Asa +. Bushnell, Springfield:
lieutenant governor, Asa w. Jones
Youngstown; auditor, w. d. Guilbert
Caldwell; supreme judge, Thaddeus \.
Minshall, Chillicothe; clerk supreme
court, Josiah b. Allen, Athens: attor-
ney general, Frank S. Monnett, Find
lay; treasurer, Samuel b. CampbeII
Steubenville; member of the board of
public works, Z. l.. Libarger, Cosher-
ton.
The most material thing for the fu-
ture is the condition Of things which
confronts Mckinley. His presidential
boom in Ohio is i'm the same embar-
rassment as was Sherman's candidacy
under the Foster administration, with
Garfield's senatorial annex in 1850. In
1884 Sherman had the Blaine element
as well as Foraker and Foster to con-
tend with. In 1855 sherman had the
same old experience, and in 1896 there
will be a Mckinley delegation from
Ohio TO the republican national con-
vention, but ii will be selected by For
aker and Bushnell. no matter what
may be the result of the state election
next November. The Foraker-Rush-
nell combination has control Of an the
party machinery and the present party
organization continues until after the
selection Of the delegates To the next
republican national convention. For
aker and Bushnell viii DE two Of the
delegates at large themselves. and they
are not al all likely u grant McKin-
ley permission 10 name the other two.
although il is believed they will con-
sent 10 sherman and Foster going o.
the the national convention as the
other delegates at large
OF course, the machine in such strong
