Toledo, 0., July 28.—The Republican
State Convention was called to order at 10
o'clock this morning by Temporary Chair
man ltyan.
The Committee on Credentials and Rules
reported, and the report was adopted.
Ex-Gov. Charles Foster, Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions, read the plat
form, which was as follows:
Thoißepublican party in convention assem
ble! submits to the people of Ohio the following
declaration of its principles:
We are in favor of a protective tariff tosecure
t.) American citizens the privilege of supplying
everv article which can be produced aj> well In
the united States as in other countries and suffi
ciently to supply American wants. Such tariff
makes a demand for and gives employment to
the labor of American citizens and thereby aids
in securing just compensation for labor. We
denounce the Ohio Democratic platform of a
tariff for revenue only, and which demands in
discriminate reduction in all duties on imported
articles, the effect of which would lie to encour
age importations, thus giving American pat
nnnge to foreign producers and foreign labor
rather than to our own.
DAMIF.B IN IMM I ORATION.
While we adhere to the public policy under
which our country has received from Europe,
great Isodies of honest, industrious citizens who
have added to the wealth, progress and power
of our country, and while we welcome to
uur shores the well-disposed and industrious im
migrant who contributes by liis energy and in
tclligeuce of the cause of free government, we
new with alarm the unrestricted immigration
from foreign lands as dangerous to the peace
and good order of the country and the Integrity
and character of its citizenship. We urgeCmi
gri'ss to pass suitable laws and establish such
ovulations as shall protect us from the inroad
of Anarchist, Communist, Polygamist, fugitive
from justice, insane, dependent paupers, vicious
mill criminal classes, contract labor in every
f.-tm, under any name or guise, mul nil others
v.iio seek our shores, not to become port of our
civilization and citizenship, who acknowledge
i:o allegiance to our laws, 40 sympathy with our
turns and institutions, but who coiue among us
m mate war upon society, to diminish the dig
nity and rewards of American workingmen and
degrade our labor to their level. Against all
these our gates should be closed.

ARRAIGNING! THE DEMOCRACY.
The frauds, forgeries and crimes committed
by the Democratic party in Ohio in the election
for State officers and members of the General
Assembly in 1685, deserve the condemnation
and execration of all honorable men, and wo
hereby commend and indorse the action of the
Sixty-seventh Assembly in preventing the con
summation of these crimes and iu enacting reg
istration laws applicable to the great cities of
the State, whereby their repetition has
been rendered impossible. We fur
ther indorse and commend the action of the
late Republican Legislature in the provisions
made by it for the establishment of a home for
disabled soldiers and sailors and for llie levying
ot tuxes by the commissioners of the several
counties for the support and maintenance of
indigent soldiers and sailors and their widows
and children.
We potnt with just pride to the enactment of
the Dow law in fulfillment of the promises of
the Republican party, and we pledge ourselves
to such further legislation as may be necessary
to keep abreast with enlightened public senti
ment on tilts question to the end that the evils
resulting frot-s the traffic in intoxicating liquors
be restricted to the utmost possible extent in all
parts of the State.
We fat iir such legislation as will secure to the
agricultural, commercial and industrial inter
ests of the State, equally without discrimina
tion in favor of any citizen or corporation, the
benefits of transportation by all common car
riers, at the lowest rates consistent with justice,
and that the water ways of the State should be
maintained and improved so as to secure to the
people the full benefits thereof,
TREMENDOUS ENTHUSIASM.
The tariff plank was received with loud
cheers. When tiie indorsement of Gov.
Foraker’s administration was reached the
convention cheered as one man, many rising
to their feet and swinging hats, etc. Loud
calls were made for Gov. Foraker. The
captured flag clause revived the demonstra
tion.
When the last resolution, the famous
Sherman indorsement, was reached, the
cheering broke out again, and a call from a
delegate for three cheers, were given for
Sherman bofore the reading could be con
tinued. A motiou was made to adopt
tho whole platform by acclamation.
It was done unanimously without a dissent
ing vote. Tremendous cheering followed,
and loud calls were made for Senator Sher
man. Mr. Sherman did not appear, and the
report of the Committee on Permanent
Organization was read and adopted. Hon.
John Sherman was made permanent chair
man. A committee of three was appointed
to conduct him to the chair. The conven
tion wux in a good humor, being jubilant
over the extinction of the opposition to the
indorsement resolution, anil cheered Sena
tor Sherman to the echo as he took the plat
form.
SHERMAN’S SPEECH.
Following is the text of Mr. Sherman’s
speech on taking the chair:
Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Conven
tion. and Ladies and Gentlemen: I thank you
with all my heart for the high compliment of
presiding over this distinguished assemblage. 1
think the Republicans of Ohio in I Ins respect,
have been partial to me, and 1 am culled on this
<K-ctuion to preside because I attended the first
Republican convention of Ohio, where the Re
publican party was born, and 1 have watched
and wondered and followed its splendid history,
and its magnificent progress from that day to
this. And now, fellow citizens. 1 congratulate
•you upon the fact that the great body of vour
work has already been done by the j>eopie of
Ohio; all you have to do is to record and
announce the results of their decisions. In every
county, township, section and district, a voice
comes to us from the unanimous mouths of tin*
Republicans of Ohio for the renomination of
Gov. Joseph IL Foraker. [Applause.] No man
was ever presented as a candidate with more
hearty, generous and frank indorsement than
he; and he deserved it, because he has fairly
earned this nomination at your hands. He has
been patri< •! ie. able, brave und diligent. He has
been watchful of the interests of the ]>eople of
Ohio in all the important duties intrusted to that
oft lea. in all the social duties which belong to
the Governor of Ohio he has been most cour
teous and kind.
THE FLAG INCIDENT.
More than that,, he lias prevented the Demo
cratic President of the United States from sur
rendering to the Confederates the Hags and
banners which they tost in the rebellion. [Tre
mendous cheers J In this he has touched the
patriotic heart, not only of the people of
Ohio, hut of the whole country, and therefore
we, the Republicans of Ohio, take pride in this
indorsement of him by our unanimous renotniua
tion. In respect to the rest of the ticket, the
only trouble is that you have got so many good
men to choose from that it
is lutrd to make a choice. Certain it is that
whenever your choice is made, they will all
acquiesce as good Republicans and true friends
to the cause. 1 wish also to pronounce, with all
my heart, the deserved thanks that the people
ol <>liio owe to the recent (or present i legisla
ture, tile Sixty-seventh General Assembly of the
State of Ohio. [Cheers.J 1 believe, on the
whole, that: it was the ablest and most patriotic
and useful body that has made laws for the peo
pie of Ohio since the State wns born, ICheers.]
Called to other duties 1 have recently examined
the proceedings of that last Legislature, and I
have been amazed at the amount, volume and
value of the work they did. The Union soldier is
on almost every page of that volume, a record
of that faithfulness due to him and of the grati
tude and obligations of a patriotic people for
liis sacrifices and lite services. They were also
watchful for the right of labor and of I he labor
ing man, who, after all, are the foundation of
our structure and whoso reasonable demands
ought always to Is- heard and always
to he heeded. [Applause.] It did its duty and
I am glad to pay my compliments to this Leg
isl iture now about to pass out of power und to
app -al to you us Republicans hmv important it
is that the next Legislature should be equal to
die last,, and I tru-t that you will remember that
that election is of even more importance than
the election of the State ticket.
THE DEMOCRATIC LECfISLATUUK.
You tried a Democratic Legislature only a
little while ago, and I hope G >,i w.ll keep you
from ever trying it again. [Cheers.) It was a
Legislature tainted with fraud: it was black
ened bv election crimes. They left the Slate in
Relit, with its ordinary expenses unprovided for.
\ud now, when the people of Ohio are about to
Choose between a Democratic and a Republican
Legislature, nil 1 ask is that you go back amt in
vestigate und examine the specimens which
ba\e been oiTered in the last four
years by the Democrats of Ohio and then make a
contrast for yourselves. It ought to be ex r
eii ed to promote harmony, and good will, and
friendship among Republicans. Now. my
countrymen, again thanking von for this ex
p-easioii, 1 tell you with all frankness that 1
think more of your unanimous praise this day
uttered than I do of the ollice of President of
the United Stub's. | Prolonged cheering.] I
would rattier fool, mv countrymen, that I stand

MOREIIEAD’S MISFORTUNE.
Every Store Closed and Armed Men
Patrolling the Streets.
Lexington, Ky., July 28.—C01. John B.
Castleinan and Adjt. Roger Williams re
turned from Morehead to-day, where they
had been stint by Gov. Knott to inquire into
the propriety of sending troops there to at
tend on the sessions of the Circuit Court,
which is set to convene there next Monday.
Troops have been asked for bv Judge Colo,
Sheriff Hoggan and others. The Sheriff is
in Mount Sterling, aud declares that ho will
not go to Morehead to attend court
unless troops are sent to maintain peace.
The Governor’s commissioners, after exam
ining the situation carefullv, decided to re
ixirt adversely to sending troops to More
head. The town is dead. Every business
house is closed and the doors nailed up, with
the exception of one small grocery store and
a saloon, the latter being carried on bv the
widow of Craig Tolliver The Hailey Hotel
is also open. With these exceptions no
business whatever is carried on at More
head.
PATROLLED BY ARMED MEN.
The town is patrolled day and night by
forty members of tho Law and Order
Society and the men are armed with Win
chester rifles and are tho oil ly persons to be
seen moving around. They are constantly
on the alert for an attack from the Tolliver
gang, anil rumors of tho close proximity of
the gang to the town are heard every day.
All the members of tho Law and Order
Society object to tho presence of troops and
people who are known to have
boon on the other side are vehement
in their request for military aid. Tho
former expressed their ability to protect the
citizens and aid the court in tho lull execu
tion of the law. It is the general feeling
that as soon as the patrol is removed, or if
it should become careless so as to afford an
opportunity, the Tolliverites will sweep
down oil the town nnd avenge tlw death of
their chief and his kinsman. It is known
that an organization for that purpose is in
easy reach of Morehead, and the chances
are that more bloodshed will follow tiie
slightest opportunity for an attack. The
presence of troops might temporarily avert
this, but the only true solution of the bloody
fetid is to let the citizens of Rowan county
settle it among themselves.
LEWIS MAKES A DENIAL.
He May Possibly Sue the Papers that
Published the Story.
Boston, July 28. —E. 11. Lewis, formerly
of Malden aud of the firm of Lewis Bros.,
shoe dealers, with branch stores in Dallas,
Tex., and Jacksonville, Fla., has returned
to this city. He stoutly denies the truth of
the story first published some days ago in a
Jacksonville paper that lie or His mistress
hail murdered his daughter Hattie during a
visit that tiie daughter made with her father
to Florida last winter. Lewis states that
the girl died a natural death, and that tho
scandalous stories concerning his daughter's
death were set afloat by his wife. Hue was
unjustly jealous of Mrs. Cavalon, a lady
with whom he and his daughter hoarded.
His wife, he intimates, is of unsound mind,
and he stated to-day tiiat his cus ■ was in tho
hands of a lawyer, who might possibly
bring an aetiou in the courts against the
newspapers that have published the story of
the alleged crime.
This afternoon Mr. Lew is aud Mrs. Caval
lou, each acting through W. 11. Gale,
served writs on tiie lleeord, lleruld, Jour
nal anil Globe for libel, setting the damages
against each Jaipur at f 10,000 for tho publi
cation of a dispatch bearing on this subject.

slight grounds for their invention, Tiie facts
are that when Mr. Collins and his party
reached Belfast they were detained in the
custom house with much formality and
their luggage subjected to a rigid
examination. Every parcel of
it was unpacked and minutely examined.
Even a small handbag carried was opened

the purpose of ascertaining whether they

Parliament had often met with tin early

URGING HASTE.
Ou the resumption of the debate on the
land bill in the House of Commons this
evening Mr. Hufith, the government leader,
appealed to the House to expedite tho pass
age of tiie bill, which he said would prevent
harsh evictions. He would not use any
threat but he would remind tho House that
unless tho bill were through the committee
stage early next week it would be difficult
to pass the measure at a l ’.
Mr. O’Kelly (Nationalist) moved to give a
tenant six months for redemption after re
ceiving a written notice of eviction.
After some discussion Mr. Smith repeated
his appeal, remarking that ai 'h amend
ment if persisted in would endanger the
passage of tiie bill.
Mr. Parnell retorted that if there was not
time for reasonable discussion of this amend
ment, there was no time for discussion of
any other amendment.
The amendment was rejected by a vote of
164 to 142. The announcement of the vote
was received with loud opposition cheers.
A YEAR ASKED FOR.
Mr. Stuart (Radical) moved that a year be
allowed for redemption.
Mr. Balfour opposed the motion, but said
he was willing to accept an amendment al
lowing one month to elapse between the
judgment decree anil the serving of the no
tice.
Mr. Morlny suggested that tho govern
ment go further and allow a tenant one
month of undisturbed possession between
the service of tho notice and tho execution
of the decree.
Mr. Balfour accepted the amendment, ex
pressing the hope that the opjxisitioii would
attempt to press the government no further.
After further discussion a passage atarms
occurred between Timothy Mealy and tiie
chairman, the former complaining of tho
Conservative interruptions. The incident
was ended by Mr. Healy apologizing.
Tiie excitement continuing, the chairman
reproved Mr. DeLesle (Conservative) as dis
orderly and refusing to allow him to ex
plain suspended sitting in committee nnd
summoned tho Speaker to the chair. The
chairman then rejiorted that during the
last division following the lleuly incident
Mr. DeLesle came to him and remonstrated
for not being allowed to explain, whereupon
Sir. lleily approached anil said: “Come
out, DeLesle, if you are a man. If you in
terrupt me again I w ill break your neck.”
The Speaker demanding an explanation,
Mr. Healy said ho felt no regret for tho
course lie had taken and he was willing to
abide tiie consequences. Then the Speaker
named Mr. Healy and Mr. Smith moved
that he lie susjiendud.
Mr. Healy immediately took his hat and,

chamberlain's denial.
Mr. Chamberlain, in a letter, denies the
accuracy of Hir George O. Trevelyan’s
statements regarding the round table con
ference. Ho challenges Mr. Trevolyan to
prove that the Unionists obtained anv
pledges tlmt Mr. Glmlstono was prepared
to accept any one condition laid I
down as essential by Lord Hnr- i
tington and Mr. Chamberlain. The
real reason, ho says, for tho
failure of the negotiations was the foot that
after their inceptions tho introduction of
tho coercion bill filled tho Glad .tomans
with hope that, t hey would succeed in break
in;; up tho Unionists without yielding
anything. After tho cessation or

charges Mr. Trevelyan with remain

Sir George to prove that he has ob

has altered his intention to create an Irish

RUSSIA'S CREDIT.
A German Paper Gives the Czar's
Methods a Hard Rap.
St. Petkksbuuq, July 38.—Tho .Journal
de St. I’etetsbourg says the crusade of tin'
German press agui.st Russian securities
after tho successful conversion of the land
mortgage obligation remains unexplained,
the arguments of the German newsjiapers
on the subject being ridiculous. Russia, the
Journal declares, has not, a pan-shivist
financial policy. The scheme of convert
ing metal obligation into bonds, it adds,
emanated from Russian newspapers, and
not from tho Russian government. The
Journal challenges the Germans to show a
single instance in which Russia instructed
uny hanks to tiuy on Russian account bonds
sold in Germany.
GERMANY’S REPLY.
Berlin, July 38.—The Berlin Pont, re
plying to tile newspaper articles on Russian
finances, declares that tho German on
slaught against Russian securities was
caused by the ukase of March 30, which
shook the foundations of Germany’s confi
dence in the security of property, real and
personal, in Russia. Public discussion, says
the paper, has disclosed the questionable
character of Russian credit. Had the
ukase not been issued, it adds, Russia might
possibly still enjoy the blind and undeserved
oonfidonce'of German investors.

TOBACCO ON THE RISE.
Prices for the Leaf Jump Up from 50
to 100 Per Cent.
New York, Jfily 28.—The Evening Pont
says: 'There is such excitement among
tobacco dealers und manufacturer.- at the
present time as has not been known for
years, and the prices for leaf tobacco have
increased from 00 to 100 \mr cent, during
July, and the end is not yet. Manufacturers
have been sending up their priees in rapetn
to the demand niude upon tlirui by the;
controllers of the leaf supply. On
plug tobacco alone the Loritlaixls have
advanced their wholesale price 9c. tier
pound during the jiast three weeks. Other
manufactuiera have kept pace with them,
and Wisdom manufacturers who initiated
the rivalry of low prices a few years back,
been able to keep out of the pres
ent movement. The cutises of the lncreass
are complex, but tho chief immudiutc cause
is speculative enterprises.
Mr. Lyull, of the firm of Bucliunan Sc
Lyull, said this afternoon: “Tobacco which
sold for 0 and 10c. per pound
three months ago is now worth
from 20 to 25c. per pound, The rise
is due to the increased demand, and this is
traceable to the fact that the crop planted
this year is not more than 50 to DO per cent,
of lust year's. Then, the drought we have
had will reduce the yield to a much lower
point than the diminished tillage would H p>
resent. The crop tliiß year will certainly t*
