The Republican State Convention Of Ohio

met yesterday and completed lts orgam3tion. Governor Foraker will undoubtedly be renominated by acclamation, and n excellent ticket throughout is assured. Lassing Repúblicas: The cost of strikes to the workingmen alone of the United States this year, so íar is estimaUd at $10,000,000. This proves that the workingmen of the United States have more money to spare than those of any other country, or they couldn't afford to waste such a vast sum in six months ■'út a single luxury. James Winnie, a prominent greenbacker in central Michigan, thus expresses himelf in regard to fusión, in his organ, the Grand Ledge Vidette : "Mr. Weston, the democratie state chairman, informs a Detroit reporter that there will be fusiou between demócrata and greenbackers in the next state contest We beg leave to inform Mr. Weston that there will be no such a thing. The greenbackers are done with the democracy, once for all. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Dickinson may buy a few scalawags, but all self-respecting greenbackers say, most emphatically, no, and will stick to it." The Ohio democratie state convention held at Cleveland, Thureday, resulted in the nomination of Congressman Thomas E. Powell for Governor. D. Coolman, of Portage county was nominated for Lieuienant-Governor, The ticket was completed by the following nominations : For justice of the supreme court, long term, L. R. Critchfield, of Holmes county ; for judge of the supreme court, short term, Virgil P. Kline, of Cleveland ; for auditor of state, Emil Kiesewetter, of Franklin county; treasurer of state, George W. Harper, of Green county ; attorney-general, Win. E. Leet, of Ottawa county ; member, of board of public works, Peter J. Murphy, ■of Butler county. Is spite of the intense heat, the base ball fever appears to rage with unabated force, and people rash to read the last ball reports with as much eagerness as if the fate of the nation depended upon the success of the club in which they are interested. The threatened European war is nothin? in comparison. What makes it more interesting is that within the last week, Chicago has risen from fourth to seoond place in the league, and as mattere now stand will make a hard fight with the Wolverines for the pennant - the pennant which Detroit carne so near getting last year and failed. On the other hand, Detroit has been playing in hard luck lately : Twitchell's arm troubles him so that it is almost useless, Bennett's muscular rheumatism still has possession of hiro, and to cap this catalogue of misfortuneg, Dunlsp is on crutches. The New York correspondent of the Detroit Tribune interviewed Ex-Governor Alger, just before he sailed for England last Friday, on the presidential outlook. The ex-governor said: ''Two months ago, while I was prepared for the renomination of Mr. Blaine, I was not prepared to say that I thought he was the strongest man ior the party. I do tkink so now and say it unhesitatingly. He has done himself great credit abroad. I have at no time been opposed to Mr. Blaine's renormnation, but I have been carefully studying the drift of things in order to make up my judgment as to what it is be6t ghould be done for the party. The people are for Mr. Blaine beyond any doubt. 1 have been about over the country a great deal, as you know, and I have found the same sentiment for him everywhere among the people. On the train coming to New York I met an old gray-haired and solic buisness man who told me that in 1884, in sheer disgust at politics, he had refrainec Irom voting, although a lifelong republican I asked him about the mugwumps. Saic he: 'Some of them will stick to Cleveland, but sorne of them will vote for Blaine. I will work for Mr. Blaine's nomination in order to have an opportu nity to vote for him.' The old gentleman told me that he íound a general disgust o the administration af ter Cleveland put exrebels into the cabinet. There was not so much objection to nis selection of southern men, because that waa expected, but it was thought that he might have taken younger men, untainted by treason. With his record on pensions and rebel flags, this feeling has grown intense."
