lil.CKEYE REPUBLICANS.

Clkvki.and, O., April 25.—The Repub-
lican State Convention reassembled at 9:45
yesterday morning. The permanent organ-
ization was effected the election of Hon.
William McJ£inley, Jr., as Chairman. His
brief address on taking the chair was loudly
applauded. The Committee on Resolutions
then reported. A scene of confusion fol-
lowed, the committee having made no refer-
ence to internal revenue in the platform. A
delegate cried that lie was not in favor of
truckling to the liquor interests. Finally
the resolutions were ^committed and re-
vised. As finally reported and adopted they
were as follows:

The Republican party of Ohio, in conven-
tion assembled, in view of the issues between
the parties, declares:

]. That it is in favor oP collecting: an ade-
quate revenue to defray the ericouomieal ex-
penses of the Government from the duties
upon foreign imports, so adjus;ed as to a'Voivl
protection to the labor and the agricultural,
manufacturing and'other industries of tho
co'untrv against competition with foreign
eapitufand labor, and with a view to develop
our resources and elevate and improve the
condition of our own lal>oriug classes, and
we condemn the Democratic doctrine of a
"tariff for revenue only" as destructive of the
highest interest of t.lie country.

а.	That the reduction of duties on Imported
wools made by the--ict of Congress passed in
March, 1SS0, was an act of injustice to an im-
portant industry, which will, if it be not cor-
rected. result tn paralyzing the business of
wool-growing in the United States, aud in
transferring the same to foreign nations;
aud, therefore, the wool tariff of 1807 should
be restored at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.

'.I The doctrine of the Democratic party
favoring the putting of what is improperly
calied/raw material, such as ore, pig-iron,
wool/etc., on the tree list, is vicious, danger-
ousfand, if carried out, will be destructive of
ttte best interests of the Nation.

4.	That the Republican party, having always
aided labor, liberating it when oppressed, giv-
ing to it homesteads in the public domain, and
supporting schools at public expense for the
children of all, recognize now, more fully than
ever, its great interests, its claim upon the
care of the Government, and its right to equal
consideration with capital, and we congratu- _
late the working classes upon the intelligence
and good temper with which they have organs
ized themselves for the promotion of their in-

5.	That we denounce the polygamous Mor-
mons, aud demand of Congress the exercise
ol' all its constitutional power for its speedy
suppression.

б.	That the Republican party stands by its
legislation, known as the Scott law, and con-
demns the want of sincerity of the Democrat-
ic party in respect thereof.

7.	That the administration of President Ar-
thur has been wise, conservative and in the
interests of the whole people, aud is there-
fore heartily indorsed.

8.	The position of the Republican party, as
expressed through its conventions and its
representatives in authority, touching civil-
service, is heartily indorsed.

The resolutions were adopted. After-
ward, the adoption was reconsidered be-
cause the first resolution implied no internal
revenue, and the platform was recommit-
ted.

The resolution referring to the Scott law
was afterward sir ck out because objection
was made made to fighting the National
.compaign on State issues. The other reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted.

For candidate for Secretary of State were
proposed: °C. T. Clark and J. T. Oglevee,
of Franklin County; Henry Luskey, of
Cincinnati; Oscar Shepherd, Preble Coun-
ty; J. S. Robinson, Hardin County; Dwight
Powell, Ashtabula County, and H. A. Ax-
line, Muskingum County. On the third bal-
lot Robinson was nominated, receiving 844;
to 144for' Oglevee; 46 for Axline; 44 for
Luskey aud 4 for Clark. The nomination
was made unanimous.

For Judge of the Supreme Court, Hon.
William W. Johnson, present Chief Justice
of the Ohio Supreme Court, and John S.
Brasee, of Lancaster, were proposed.
Johnson was nominated, receiving 529 votes
to 155 for Brasee.

For Member of the Board of Public
Works were named: George W. Piatt, of
Hamilton County; E. B. Henderson, of
Muskingum; C. T. Lewis, of Muskingum;
C. A. Flickinger, of Defiance; Leo Welz,
of Clinton. The roll of counties was called,
"but before the count was iiiade a motion
was adopted to make Flickinger's nomina-
tion unanimous.

A very exciting fight took place over the
selection of delegates*at-large to the Chi-
cago Convention. The resultas follows:
Judge J. B. Foraker, of Cincinnati; Hon.
William McKinley, of Canton; Mark A.
Hanna, of Cleveland, and Judge William
H. West, of Logan County. Jndge Foraker
is a Btaineman; his first preference is for
the plumed knight, but to secure the .sup-
port of the Hamilton County delegation he
pledged himself to yote for John Sherman
as long as the Ohio Senator's name was be-
fore the National Convention. Major Mc-
Kinley is a Blaine man, his constituents being
Blaine men to the backbone. M. A. Hanna,
of Cleveland, is noncommittal, but some say
he is for Sherman first and Blaine second,
and others claim . he is an Arthur man.
Judge West, the aged. blind orator from
Logan County, is for Blaine and Lincoln
first, last, "and all the time. Four colored
men, John P. Green, Robert Harlan, Rev.
Poindextjer and C. Dnell were selected as
alternates to the Chicago Convention. Of
these Green, Poindexter and Duell are pro-
nounced Blaine men, while Harlan is for
Arthur.

MICHIGAN DELEGATES.

Grand Rapids, Jlich,, April 25.—The
Republican State Convention was called to
ordeiw yesterday at eleven o'clock by Hon.,
William Livingston. Hon. R. G. Horr was
chosen temporary chairman, and made a
speech on the issues of the day. The usual
committees were appointed, and a recess
was token.

When the convention reassembled M. C.
Burcli was made permanent chairman. The
platform, as presented by the committee
and adopted, simply reaffirms the princi-
ples of the Republioan. party. A delegate
tried to insert tariff and anti-silver coinage
planks, but on a delegate remarking that
the platform said nothing, and that this was
all the Republicans of Michigan wanted to
Bay at this time the convention broke into
cheering, which completely drowned the
wonlcbbe patdiers.

of the proceedings the names of Arthur and

although the delegates go uninstructed, it is
thought a majority of them will favor
Blaine.

tion on the latter subject, offered as a

Chicago, April 25.—Advices from Wis-
-visin represent that the entire Republican
de egation to Chicago will be friendly to
. . 'sklent Arthur, but General W. T. Sher-
man would capture every vote. It is thought
that L. B. Caswell will be renominated for

lican Convention a resolution was adopted

d«nt and Lincoln for Vice-President, and

Lewiston, Me.. April 25.—The State
Greenback Convention was held yesterday.
A motion to nominate ex-Congressman
Ladd for Governor received only about a
dozen votes, and Dr. H. B. Eaten was
chosen by ballot Four delegates to the
National Convention were then selected.
The resolutions adopted condemn the prac-
tices of exempting certain property from
taxation, and declare that the
question of the constitutional pro-
hibitory amendment should not be
made a party issue. General Butler for
President was unanimously approved, aud
the platform of the Chicago Convention'of
1880 ratified. Delegates to the National
Convention for several districts were
chosen, and the convention adjourned.

Nashville, Tenu., April 25. — The
Greenback State Convention met here yes-
terday, nominated N. J. Buchanan, of
Fayetteville, for Governor, adopted ~ the
usual platform, and nominated delegates to
theJNatioual Convention at Indianapolis.
forming a league with good objects.

Boston, .April 25.—Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., John Quincy Adams, Charles
R. Codman, and some seven hundred others
hive issued a cail for a meeting here $.pril
29 to form a league. The call says:

The present enormous surplus in the Na-
tional revenue is demoralizing and danger^
ous, and should be cut down without-further
delay, not by increasing public expenditure,
but by lessenmgthe burden of taxation. This
burden should be removed from the neces--
saries or life and not from whisky and
tobacco. The policy of taxing imports, not
for the purpose of raising revenue, but for
obstructing trade, Is unsound, and must ulti-
mately be abandoned.

A Mammoth Railroad Project.

Boston, Mass., April 25.—John W.
Ayers, representing the railroad men inter-
ested in the project, has petitioned* the, State
Senate to authorize the Governor to sell to.
him the Troy & Greenfield, Heosac Tunnel,
Southern Vermont, and Boston Hoosac Tun-
nel of Vermont railways, and two hundred
acres of the South Boston flats, for the
sum of 84,000,000. The petition says:
"The acceptance of the tender made at this
time will result in the building up of a
strong and effective railroad system tinder
one and the same management, and the
Boston system extending from Boston to
Buffalo, and very probably' to Chicago, i
there to meet the railroads controlled by ;

EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS.

London, April 25.—The final decision of
the Government in regard to the expedition
for the relief of Berber has been postponed
until the arrival of General Graham Mon-
day. General Wood has telegraphed, ad-
vising the Government to send an expedi-
tion of 2,000 Egyptians and 500 English-
men. General Wolseley insists that no
advance shall be made until after the ris-
ing of the Nile. Baker Pasha has -been re-
instated In office in connection with the
Egyptian gendarmerie, and will start for
England next week. The Cairo papers re-
fuse to open a fund for the rescue of Gen-
eral Gordon, preferring to leave the re-
sponsibility with the Government.

London, April 25.—The English Govern-
ment has sent Invitations for the proposed
conference regarding Egyptian affairs to all
the Powers which signed the treaty of Ber-
lin. It estimates that Egypt is now in need
of a fresh loan of $8,000;G90 in order to
meet most pressing requirements upon it,
and points out the difficulty of devising a
guarantee for such a loan, inasmuch as all
the resources of Egypt are already pledged.
It proposes no solution of the difficulty.

London, April 29.—In the House of
Commons last night the Chancellor of the
Exchequer introduced the budget. The
revenue for 1883 amounted to £87,205,184,
the expenditure being £86,990,000. During
the past year the National debt had been
reduced about £8,500,000, the total reduc-
tions to the present time being £72,680,-
000. The debt was now lower than at any
time since 1811, wliile„ the interest
was less than since 1805. The estimated
expenditure for the current fiscal year was
£85,293,000, against £85,954,000 the pre-
vious year. Trade was in an unsatisfactory
state at present, but pauperism was declin-
ing. The parcels post had only produced
£155,000, Instead of the £340,000 estimated,
and the system of six-penny telegr*ns was '
consequently postponed until August, 1885.

London, April 25v—The blue book has
been issued, which contains the correspond-
ence between the British and United States
Governments on the subject of cattle dis-
eases. The tenor of the consular and other
reports is that the foot-and-mouth disease is
not indigenous to America, but rather thsfc
the outbreaks throughout the States are
traceable to cargoes of cattle from Eugland.

Madrid, April 25.—There are rumors of
a revolutionary, movement in the Eastern
Provinces. At a Cabinet Council, the King
presiding, the Ministers stated that they
possessed full details of the agitation; that
precautions have been taken, and that they
apprehend no <lisorders.

Port Said, April 25.—Half the Arab
quarter burned yesterday. Four thousand
Aiabs are homeless.

Havana, April 25.—The troops are stifl
unable to catch the filibuster Aquero. The
authorities continue to maintain a dead sil-
ence, tiiereby exasperating the public into
the belief of the worst happening. Many
disbelieve that Duran has been killed. The
gold premiums rose as high as during the
first insurrection. According to reliable in-
formation, the Aquero party divided into
three sections, thereby disconcerting the
troops. Aquero is supposed to be staying
in the Zapata swamps. It is rumored that
he was again offered a sum to leave the
island.

Shanghai, April "25.-4fc is rumored
that Prince Kung, recently degraded from
chief control of tlie Grand Council of the
Empire, lias committed suicide.

Marseilles, April 25.—Marie Taglioni,
the famous dancer, died*; yesterday. She
was born In Stockholm iu 1804, aud won
reuown in the larger cities, retiring with a
fortune in 1847.
