The candidates for Supreme Judge

sition, as they were running for Sec
ond term.
Mr.. Laylin had no opposition, because
he was Senator Hanna's candidate He
is man of fine character and will make
q good officer.
Blackburn secured a third term NOM
inatiOn, because he had the Cox and
Hanna influenced working for him on
the sly. The State Dairy Association,
which cut his vote down over IS, 900 in
1898, made bitter fight against his re-
nomination, and say they will defeat
him. They charge him with being in
Icollusion with the oleo manufacturers
/ Blackburn was nominated by 100 over
Lutz of Ross county, who said, in speak
ling of his canvass, 81 didn't use
anything but arguments, matches
cigars and water"
The platform is very long and pretty
sound. It endorses the Administra
tion on all lines, points with pride, and
says "try US again"
The most interesting episode of the
Convention was the ktocking out oi
Boss Cox by country editor. Tine
committee on credentials reported 8
contest in only one county, Washing
ton, and favored the seating OF both
delegations, with half ., vote each
One set of delegates had been choser
by the people, agreeably to the call o
the State Central Committee, th'
other had been appointed by the
County Committee. When the Cred
entails Committee made its report il
favor of seating both sets of delegates
Boss Cox, of Cincinnati moved tn
adoption of the report. Immediately
: Dave Taylor of Guernsey, editor Of the
!, Cambridge Times, took up the gaunt
let thrown down by Cox, and moved Al
amendment that only the delegatio
, from Washington, chosen by the pee
, pie, be seated. He spoke in his effect
9 i've style for the amendment, and i
spite OF the opposition, carried it by
vote of 455 to 1853.
IL After the selection of the candidate
u for State offices, resolution was offel
q ed, naming Senator Foraker, GOV
Nash, Gen. Grosvenor, and Gen. Dicl
as delegates at large to the Republica
9 National Convention. /
4 Boss Cox moved suspension of tn
r rules and the adoption of the motion
Judge Gilbert Stewart of Cincinnati
Ioffered as an amendment that Senate
/. Hanna's name be substituted for Gro
e venor's. 1.-THE object in grouping th
If four names together was to prever
Grosvenor's defeat.] McGrew of Clarl
Iseconded the motion. Both speaker
q more than intimated that the slate ha
}. been made up at Washington, and tha
}, was q wrong to the Republicans G
}, Ohio. The excitement became grea
and Hanna had to be called out, an
stopped the revolt for the time, by sa.
Il ing he had enough, and wanted th
u Convention to nominate GrOsvenOl
? Then Stewart offered an amendment
J. substitute Ex-Governor Foster for Gro
= venor, but Foster declined with thank
saying II will not be party to th
breaking of the slate which has bee
r prepared for us at Washington. Th
u original resolution then passed witt
,ft out opposition.
IS The "kicks" in the Convention sho
d that there are still signs of indepen'
ence in the old party.
