OHIO REPUBLICANS.
The Keiniblicans of Ohio held a state
convention on Tuesday M lioinuite candi-'
dates for governor and other state iitHcc-
and to pate!
the Kepuhlican fence
generally in that state. Tin re was a strong
party among the delegates that wanK d
Jolm Sherman nomniatcd for governor,
and then there was Cov. Foster with a fol
lowing equally strong opposed to Sher
man's nomination, the strongest argument
they openly urged against him being, that
his nomination would bring outThuraian
as the democratic candidate, and everybody
knew that Thurman would heat Sherman
"hUhtr'n n kite." So Sherman was ap
peased by being made president of the con
vention and allowed to air himself in an
hour long opening speech, while a fourth
rate sort of man never heard of before, one
'"Judge" Foraker, was nomiaa'ed for gov
ernor. Sherman's opening speech was
mainly confined to the tariff and liquor
questions, and outlined In advance the
platform resolutions on the oaim; subjects
that were subsiqueiit.'y a luKcd to the
eflect that all lanil levies should he so

Judge Treat, in the U. S. Circuit Court at
St. Louis, on Monday rendered a couple ot
very important decisions touching the
validity of the claim td Washburn &
Moento all tlujputotits covering the manu
facture of barbed wire m the United
Slates. The foundation or tho antlro claim
of W. & M. rested on tho lauestiou whether
tho renewal of what is known aa the
Kelly (Hidden patent was valid, und this
question Judge Treat, following tho de
cision of Judge MeCrary, at Keokuk,
Iowa, last winter, decides in the negative.
The point is really covered by decisions of
the Supreme Court of the United States in
other though somewhat different cases, so
that, this decision at St. Louis may be tr-
garded as about final. The result to
Washburn fc Morn will bo tho loss of
about $l,.rH),0K.i a year they have hitherto
enjoyed as royalties from the patent, and
an income of some $-.KR),Ooo a year profits
they realized from their monopoly tn tin
manufacture of barbed wire.

apparent object being to expel the French,
and ia the light that ensued a number ot
French soNiieis and several olikars were
killed. France is n,w etidin.; u large
