Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May Oft is sig
nificant of how thoroughly the re-
suit of the republican state convention
which meets here Wednesday has been dis
counted that there is scarcely a reference
to it in this mornings 5 newspapers of the
state. One of the most uneventful conven-
tions in the history of the party is prom
ised. 1t is probable that not ballot will
be taken in the convention, certainly not on
the nomination of any candidate. All that
will be done by accla amation. Gov. HerricI
and Senator Dick will have easy control
of the convention, but the unanimity of the
convention will not be due wholly to their
mana cement of the state republican ma
chine built up by the late Senator Hanna,
to which they have succeeded.
1t happens that every office for which
nominate are to be made this year is
now held by a republican who is serving
his first term now and is entitled to NOM
inatiOn for n second term. But for the fact
that Lieut. Gov. w. c. Harding refused 10
be a candidate for nomination for a second
term, every one would be placed on the
ticket again.
Lieut.. Gov. Harding's refusal to accept
another term precipitated an embarrassing
condition. for the reason that no less than
a dozen asp!rants entered the field lwo
weeks ago an agreement among the leauctS
" as effected by which Gen. Andrew l.. Har
rjs of Eaton was slated as the candidate
for lieutenant governor. All the other can
didates at once withdrew, excepting only
S. B. Taylor of jefferson county, who an
nounced that he would defy the slate
makers and appeal to the convention.
This prospect of little skirmish in the
convention vanished this morning, how
ever, when Mr.. Taylor announced his with
drawal
The Ticket
The ticket that will be nominated can
therefore be announced with perfect as
surance now. Here it is
For governor, Myron T. Herrick Of Clere-
land.
For lieutenant governor, Andrew L. Har
lis of Eaton.
For supreme judge, W. Il. Harris Of
Marion
For attorney general. Wade S. Ellis of
Cincinnati.
For treasurer of state, w. S. McKinnon
OF Ashtabula.
For member of the state board of public
works William Krtley, jr., of Defiance.
Senator Dick will bring down with him
from Akron when he comes tomorrow the
platform, Rear as it can be prepared in
advance. He will be chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions. On the tariff it will
be standpatter document. 1t is reported
that Gen. Grosvenor will propose plank
somewhat critical of the canal commission
in its proposition to purchase supplies
abroad if it can buy cheaper, but il is prob
able that no such radical step will be
taken
Senator Foraker will be here, and will
address the convention. but no attempt to
embarrass the governor and his friends is
likely to be made by the presentation of
resolution indorsing Senator Foraker's can
didacy at this time.
There will be a number of delegates in
the convention who criticiSe Gov Herrick
for his action on the Brannock local option
bill. but no such statement will be voiced
in the convention. Four-ffths OF the dele
gates will be pledged to support of the gov
ernor.
