Foraker Ronominated for Governor With a Hurrah—Names of the Other Nominees— The Platform Pull of the Boah Usual in the Screeds of the Radicals. 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. A RAP AT THE SOUTH. but while favoring every honorable and prac tiealile measure to protect American labor against the evil efforts of foreign immigration am: competition we recognize also the dangers vhieiimt-iiaeeit at home, and couth; 11111 us h0.,- tile to its cause and the subversion of its digni t.v nd 1 lower, persistent ursupation in many of tile states of its political camps and privileges.

We demand it, and will ever demand it. on an entire source of justice to the real pro dums of prosperity and wealth and the sole se curity of tile r--puhlic and its free institutions. We deprecate national strife and divisions. We lime placed the war with its hates and reveuges behind us, hut the settlements of the wqr must stand irrevocable, respected, honored and ob mrved in every port or the republic. More we have never demanded, less we will not have Congress should exercise its constitutional authority and take control and supervision of the elections of Representatives to Congress. THE TARIFF ON WOOL. We demand such duties ou wool and manu factures thereof as will secure an American market to American producers. We denounce ilie doiuand made aimer President Cleveland's iulinriir.*ration by the Secretary of the Treas uiy, in his annual report of Dec. 6, for “the l'.urK-diau* of an act placing raw wool i'"* five list." and denounce the Dem <n, o - Suite platform, which proclaims “its hearty and unqualified indorsement" of said adit.ihisrnuiou, nml demands *a reduction of tin* po'sent" duties on wool and on woolen and " 'si 1 i g(Kds.

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 bel'oio Vou now, ai litis period of my life, man und boy al-.v.ivs I; . ing in < Hi.o. that now. at tins lute iH'i isl of i'. the Republicans "f Ohio, for Whose welfare I have devoted so much of my life, are willing to say this much lor me.

Pringle, of Hpringfioid, was then named as the candidate for the place. Capt C. \V. Lyons was also placed in nomi nation for Lieutenant Governor. KOKAKIER’fI SPEECH. At this moment Gov. Foraker was escort ed to the platform amid cheers. He accept - ed the uomi nation for Governor and made a brief speech, in which he made answer to some charges uguinst him made by the Democratic platform recently adopted. He reviewed the iluauoial record of tbo last SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 29. 188 T. Democratic administration aud compared it witli the Republican management to re fute tiie charges that his administration was unbusinesslike. He went over a num ber of similar topics in Ohio polities, re ceiving close attention. While he was speaking a salute of 100 guns was being fired outside in honor of his renomination. Capt. Lyons was chosen for Lieutenant Governor on tho second ballot. Judge William Speer, of Trumbull, was nominated for Supreme Judge, long term, by acclamation. For tiie short term Judge F 15. Diekman, the present incumbent, was renominated on the first ballot. Tho ticket was completed as follows: State Auditor —E. W. Poo. State Treasurer—J. C. Brown. Attorney General—D. K. Watson. Alcm tier of tho Board of Public Works— C. A. FHckinger. Tiie convention adjourned at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. Bay State Republicans. Boston, July 28.— At a meeting of tho Republican State Central Committee to-day it was voted to hold tho State convention at Tremont Tempie, Boston, Sept. 28 next. Congressman F. W. Russel, of Pittsfield, was chosen to preside and Gen. W. F. Draper was elected Chairman of the Com mittee on Resolutions. Harrisonburg Goes Republican. Harrisonburg, Va., July 28. —In the election for town officers here to day, D. S. Jjewti, Republican, was elected Mayor over P. Bryan, Democrat, by 70 majority. The fall Republican ticket of four Couucilmen was also elected. 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.

PATRICK A. COLLINS MEETS A NOVEL RECEPTION. Glasgow Detectives Examine His Baggage as Though it Was Full of Dynamite Infernal Machines- Lord Salisbury Announces the Possibility of an Early Dissolution of Parliament. Belfast, July 28. —A sensation was cre ated here tin lay in consequence of the pub lication in several newspapers of reports that Hon. Patrick A. Collins, of Boston, Mass., and his entire purty had been ar rested by the government on their arrival from Glasgow. There was, however, no truth in the reports as published aud but 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 aud upset, When tuo trunks were emptied the bottoms mid sides were all sounded for the purpose of ascertaining whether they contained secret chambers for smuggling goods or dynamite. What mode all this the more exasperating to the travelers was the fact that the work was performed by detec tives, anil not by tho regular customs offi cials. Mr. Collins was manifestly astounded anji irrituted at the treatment to which lie was subjected. Another member of the Irish constabu lary lias resigned as a protest against the coercion act. parliament’s dissolution possible. London, July 28. —Lord Salisbury, speak ing at Norwich to day, warned the Con servative party to prepare for a possible dissolution of Parliament. He said that Parliament had often met with tin early termination when its life s&omed endan gered, mid that the Conservative party must organize to instruct the people against the deception of tho separatist ajiostles, who were only too numerous. Joseph Chamlierlain’s son, who is now a student at Berlin, will contest for a seat in Parliament as soon as another vacancy occurs iu tho border boroughs, 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, standing m the centre of the House, before retiring said: “1 beg that none of my friends vote against tho motion." The motion to suspend him was carried without division. ANOTHER RUMPUS. Sitting in committee being resumed, Mr. Chance (Nationalist) arose to spi nk. Being interrupted, he colled the attention of the chairman to tho Rem from tho government side. [Cries of “DeLesle.] Sir William Vernon Harmurt implored the chairman to exorcise his authority to prevent sy stematie insults and provooation from below the gangway opposite. [Cries of “order.”J The meinliers of the opposi tion, lie said, might move to suspend him if they liked. [Opposition cheers.] At tills point Mr. Bruce (Libera!) arose, but tho chairman ruled him out of order. Mr. Hareourt, continuing, said Mr. Bruce was one of those monibern who had wit nessed tho incidents of systematic Insult night after night. Mr. Chamberlain noting that there was lio question Indore tho House, discussion of the amendments was continued. DeLesle again called for an interruption of the de bate, but it wt s refused. Mr. Chance move I an amendment pro viding Hint while a tenant is in actual occu pation |m uhiiil not lose tim privilege of voting at elections. Mr. Smith promised that the government would arrange the matter, and tho numnd incut was withdrawn Mr. Hnnth called the Speaker's attention to the accusation of Mr. nor court that tho opposition had Im'cii subjected to studied insults. Hucii lan guage. lie said, was absolutely irregular. The Speaker ugreed with Mr. Hniitb, and said that he had not noticed that any par ticular section of tho House was guilty of the provocations. Mr. ,Smith then declared tiiat he was sat isfied- At tills point. Mr. Hareourt, who in the meantime I tad lssm absent, returned to tho House. He invited Mr. Kinitli to make uny charges in his presence, but the Bpcakcr having repeatsd nis runiurks and the Chair man having cautioned them the incident closed. 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 tho negotiations ho (('tuunherlain) cuntinuod in active correspondence with Sir William Vornon Haroourt, pressing him for a (infinite statement of tho Liberal eoucessions, wliilo the latter tier sistontly put tho time otf. Mr. Chanioor hiin says lie will publish tho correspondence if Sir William consents. Mr. Chomborlnin charges Mr. Trevelyan with remain ing friendly to Unionism and never expressing disapproval of tho action or his Unionist colleagues until n few weeks ago, when lie made an extraor dinary change of front. Ho defies Sir George to prove that he has ob tained any assurance that Mr. Gladstone has altered his intention to create an Irish executive, or has modified his proposals to surrender the law and order to the care of mi Irish Parliament. In going over to the Giadstonians, adds Mr. Chamberlain, Sir George unconditionally surrendered the main points for which ho sacrificed his posi tion in the Cabinet and his seat in Parlia ment. 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.

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* small, hut what its amount will be will not Isi known with certainty until song) throe weeks hence.” Pinkerton Men Withdrawn.
