Columbus Ohio June 4 (specaD--Again the
Republicans Of Ohio have disappointed the
Democrats. For months preceding the assem-
bling Of the State Convention, which was held
Thursday and Friday, the opposition party,
through its press. has been systematic in an
effort to stir up strife and discord in the ranks
Of the Republicans, and the prediction was
made that the party would split into many fac
lions before naming candidates for the several
offices TO be filed
The ticket this year Is long one including
seven OF the most important offices in the State.
and the aspirants for places numerous.
This made the contest spirited one. and gave
opportunity for fight along factional lines. In
recent years the Ohio Republicans have been
cursed with factionasm. and In some quarters
there evident disposition to widen the
breach. This was averted, and the sentiment
Immediately following the adjournment OF the
convention indicates less strife within the party
than for many years. The condition was chaotic
in the extreme during the preliminary canvass.
and after the larger part OF the delegates had
assembled in this city, but the evoutions OF the
factions resulted in the nomination of a SPLEEN
did ticket. There is not at this time the SEM
blance of the old factiona strife, and the belief
among Republicans is general that the conten-
tions Of the past will not appear, ana that all
elements will unite for the triumphant election
OF the entire ticket and for the control Of the
State Legislature.
Judge George K Nash. selected as the stand
ard bearer is OF the leading lawyers Of the
State and enjoys the confidence and esteem Of
the public generally. without regard TO party
affiliations and there ia no valid excuse for any
Republican 10 oppose him.
WILL COMMAND THE PARTY VOTE.
The consensus Of opinion is that he will COM
mand the full strength OF the party vote, which
in Ohio is equivalent to election. Naturally
there is scattered opposition to the party in
rower because Of the large patronage at the
disposal of the National Administration, but
this Is confined TO a few who have become dis
gruntled through failure to secure coveted or
fees
In Cleveland and Cuyahoga County there are
local differeI growing out OF the defeat or
Mayor McKisson last spring, and this may nave
some effect on the State ticket. Mchissons 1ol-
lowers. however, since he lost control or the
Cleveland city government. are rapidly leaving
him, and he W. rot be able to throw sum
Client vote aganss the candidates 10 materially
affect the State ticket. None OF the candidates
nominated yesterday are In any way responsible
for McKisson's defeat and. even should the for
mer Mayor attempt to lead them from the party,
the bulk of the voters Will not be turned against
those who stand the choice of the Republicans
OF the State
In Cincinnati many Republicans are In open
rebellion against the rule Of George b. Cox. and
a petition signed by several thousand protesting
against allowing him TO dictate the nominee OF
the Convention was sent to Columbus Nash was
not the choice OF Cox, but the latter threw his
votes to the Judge simply because he was the
strongest candidate and seemed certain TO secure
the nomination. This is In keeping with Coxs
policy TO get on the winning side. and In no
sense can Judge Nash be considered as the COX
candidate.
WILL HAVE CORDIAL SUPPORT
These are the only traces OF dsafection In the
State and as they purely local In their
character there is not the slightest probability
of serious loss to the State candidates. The
Daugherty following the strongest In the Con-
vention outside Of the successful candidate, shows
no disposition TO sulk. and the leaders among
those who supported the young Republican In his
gallant and honorable contest do not hesitate 10
announce that they will give the entire ticket
cordial support
The labor element in the party apparently is
satisfied with the declaration Of principles as an
nounced in the platform. and the strong personal
following OF both the Senators from this state
is now convinced that Senators Hanna and
Foraker were sincere in their earnest pleas Tor
harmony and that much Of the reported anil
mostly between these two men is pure fiction
Altogether the work of the Convention gives
general satisfaction and at this time there Is
every reason to believe that the state VIII give
further evidence Of confidence In the National
Administration and the party by electing the
State ticket and a majority Of the Legislature IN
November.
