OHIO DELIGHTS ROOSEVELT
Last Doubt of His Nomination,
He Says, Dispelled.
iBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

OYSTER Bay. Long Island. May d.
Colonel Roosevelt said to-day that the re-
suit i'm Ohio had dispellod all doubt as TO
his nomination.
MY victory" he said, represents vic
tory for every good citizen because have
stood for the rights of good citizenship"
Mr.. Roosevelt was in the saddle several
hours this morning, and spent the re-
mainder Of the day debating the speeches
for the first day of his New Jersey cam
paign, which begins at noon at Paterson
tomorrow and winds up at Jersey city at
night.
When the reporters climbed the hill TO-
day they found the colonel admiring his
new automobile, which is more powerful
and a trife larger than his old machine
He declares he doesn't Ike automobiles,
but he says that the eXigenCies OF the mod
ern, strenuous life make them practically
Indispensable The concern which sold him
the first car made him a handsome offer
Of new one I'm exchange for II. II was
the only car MIR. Roosevelt had ever
driven, and the makers apparently consld-
cred that that fact gave it special value
The Ohio returns made the colonel
smis BILE indeed. Here is his comment

Ohio We got their deliberate judgment.
And as | have also said. If ] had 10 make
a choice I would choose the impulsive judg-
ment Of the people rather than the delloer-
ate Judgment of the bosses.
The result in Ohio has settled the con-
test I believe that we could have won
without Ohio, but our opponents needed
substantially solid vote in Ohio to give
them a chance to make contest at the

WHAT COLONEL DID IN "a
Suggested Compromise Chair
man. but His Man Baked.

The Republican National Convention ~
1884. To which Colonel Roosevelt referred
on Monday in expressing his DOUBT that
Senator Root would he made temporary
chairman Of the coming convention, even II
nominated by the national committee, was
that which chose James g. Blaine after
one Of tho stormiest sessions on record. Mr..
Roosevelt recalled II as the one at which he
was instrumental in defeating the cand-
date for temporary chairman named by the
committee, General Powell Clayton, and
substituting ex-Cougressmsn John Il.
Lynch, of Mississippi.
The defeat of President Arthur for re-
nomination was practically conceded from
the beginning OF the convention, but doubt
existed up TO the last moment IS TO wheth-
or any one Of the numerous other candidates
could poll enough votes to be chosen. Tho
Southern Republicans threw the first bomb
into camp by demanding the temporary
craftsmanship as the only thing which they
could expect from the convention The
leader Of the Arthur element, which was
supposed to have complete control over
them, refused the demand. and instructed
them TO vote for Senator Hoar.
Al this point Mr.. Roosevelt went u
George William Curtis and requested him
IN nominate ex-senator B. X Bruce in
committee as a compromise for the coveted
office. Mr. Bruce was reluctant 10 offend
his friends from the South, and when the
national committee was called to order 4
Louisiana delegate put up the name OIL
General Clayton. The latter was nominal
ed by a close vote. and the Blaine hackers
Immediately began to scent victory, spread
,rr the report that the Arthur men had
antagonized the general
When Clayton's name was presented on
the floor OF the convention a violent dis
cussion ensued, in which Henry Caho;
Lodge introduced the name OF ex-Congress-
man Lynch. After an afternoon OF great
excitement Lynch carried the convention
with a vote Of 40 to 1855
Speaking OF Mr.. Roosegelts speech in his
support, a dispatch 10 The Tribune OF June
a 1884. said Theodore Roosevelt, sitting
bv Mr.. Curtis, also made speech, showing
himself for the first time to the Western
people and being somewhat cheered His
square head. matted with short, dry, sandy
hair. and his eyeglass and nervously forci-
BILE gestures were remarked"
Mr. Roosevelt, however, was OF the opin-
ion that Blaine's chances had departed
along with President Arthur's, and took a
great deal of the credit to himself for the
coup which turned out to be failure. at
least so far as he was concerned. On the
day after the election OF Mr.. Lynch he was
quoted as saying Arthur is dead as q can
didate, as the result Of this vote, and we
have checked Blaine. MIR. Lodge and my
self worked all night to accomplish this re-
suit. We feel greatly satisfied. 1t will DO
a long convention, and either Edmunds,
Hawley, Harrison or Sherman will be NOM
mated"
