CoLumsvs, Ohto, June 21, 1871. ‘The Ohio Republican State Convention, to nom!- ‘nate a Governor, Licutenant Governor and other oMcers, met here to-day at ten o’ciock. The at- tendunce was unusually large, not only of dele- gates but of outside parties, Over 400 delegates ‘Were present. Among the promment outsiders were Senator Sherman, General Garfield and ex- | Governor Dennison. BEN WADE OUT OF THE FIGHT. For several days previous to the meeting of the Con- ‘vention there was a warm contest between the friends @f bluff Old Ben Wadé and Colonel Noyes, of Cin- innatl, as to which should receive the nomination. At the outstart Wade was unquestionavly the choice of the party, and would nave been nominated Dy acclamation had he not thrown cold water upon the movement by stating that he was not a cand}; date and would not be under any circumstances, At the earnest request of his friends he finally agreed to stand as a candidate, but in the meantime parties not altogether friendly to Wade trotted out Colonel Noyes, a comparatively newman. From all that 1 can learn Wade did not really want the nomt- Bation. He 1s tired of ofice-holding and of public Mfe, and would rather remain quietly at his home in Jefferson. It is said that Vid Ben has an eye upon the seat now occupied by Senator Sherman in the ‘United States Senaie. At all events, it was gen- | erally understood before the meeting of the Conven- ‘on that Wade would not be pushed by his friends | for the guvernatorial nomination and the success of Noyes was conceaed. HARMONY. ‘There was a strong disposition among the leading friends of both Wade and Noyes to preserve the bar- mony of tne party, because 1t was known, or at Jeast the party leaders felt, that anything like divi- sion would give an advantage to the democracy, ‘Who, under the new departure impetus, are begin- Bing to 100k u} . ORGANIZATION. ‘The temporary chairman of the Convention, Colonel Grosvenor, is a Wade man; the permanent cliairman, Governor Dennison, does not belong to either faction. His selection was a sort of compro- Inise, mtended to smooth stll more whatever differ- ences may exist in the party. These tactics had sheir effect. THE NOMINATIONS—NOYES CHOSEN. No sooner were the resolutions read than Colonel Noyes was nominated amid great cheering. Then somebody nominated Vid Ben Wade, whereupon General Eggleston, his life-long friend, withdrew dum, saying that ue had been authorized to do 80. ‘Wade being out of the way and no other candidate having sufticient strength to make a fight, Noyes ‘was nominated by acclamation, amid great cheering and excitement. Noyes is @ New Hampshire Yankee, aud has not been many years in the State. ‘He 1s what they woula cail a carpet-bagger at the South. He is a man of local reputation as a law- yer, and not apove the average ability. He has the advantage of having lost a leg in the army, which may give him some votes. He 1s Not, however, considered a strong candidate, either by his friends or by the opposition, He seems to Ihave been the only man in the republican party who Feally wauted the Oiice, RADICAL CONFIDENCE, ‘The republicans, however, are contldent of carry- ang the Stare. They assert tnat while Noyes may not poll the full vote he will be elected. The chief contest in the State this fall will be for members of the Legislature, The Legislature elected this fall igcta tne Senator who is to succeed Sherman, THE PLATFORM—GRANT ENDORSED. ‘The platform of resolutions adopted by the Con- vention is 4 thorough endorsement of Grant’s ad- ministration. An effort was made in the committee have an amnesty resolution Inserted, but it was ‘Dot successful. A RATIFICATION MEETING. The republicans held aratidcation meeting here to-night, at which Senator Saerman and General Gartield were the chief speakers, SHERMAN'S BPRECH. Senator Sherman's speech was carefully prepared, | and is understood to be the repuvitcan keynote of the campaign in this State, as well as the country. 14 ts as foliows:— MR, CHAIRMAN—The preliminary work 1s now com- plete, ‘The Convention to-vay has beon distiaguisued dor its numbers, ability and character, You ave had More Wao the usual diversity Of 0 luion as to candi dutes; some feeung of disappointment is lnevitable, Dut on the whoie every dviegate wili feel that he has ‘Deen jairly Lreated, and that be can now support tue Uicket, Lhe Wiiole Gicket aud Hotuing but tue licket.

But the context shows that they mean a repeal of all the acis passed io en- force we ameudments.

What does this new departure mean, except ‘to say, “We recognize the amendments, but we will repeal the laws that emio:ce them:” h, many mguts secured by the coustitution as it ‘Was, that were piainly and openiy uuilided.

It is omy necessary to read the democratic jour- nals, both in Unio and other States, to show tnat this new departure Is only to sitcld themselves be- hind some jugglery about the construction of the wMendments and the mode of their enforcement, ‘Tue essential modifications made in the Convention ; Of the Dayton resolauons give color to this idea, ; and the whole, as they stand in the platform, look | like a bad mixing of opposing ideas, | the public voice vemauded that these amendments must be ratitied aud endorsed by their party, and yet they did not want to do it They dia it with an “1 and @& “damn,” with several loop- holes of escape, with many antidotes and in bad temper generally. The dose was objectionable to | many, but they took it, and have not Jelt weil sine; | and vow nothing could be more ludicrous in political | sirategy, it 1b were not dangerous, than to trust tie | democratic party with the enforcement of these amendments, Better give the lamb to the wolf than eitner the biacks of the South or the loyal people of the South to the democratic party of either the North or South, WHAT THE SOUTH WOULD Do. The democratic party of the North would be powerless to execute their pleage. The same men who broke that party at Charleston; the same men who sacrificed Douglas; the same men who covered our land with the graves of pa- | trot soldiers could, by vir.ue of their majority, seize the power of the democratic organization, and tion of loyal people, white or black, or the public’s honor, as represented by the pension list and the puvhe creditors’ From the logic of aMnities and the association of names and events it is evident that no sincere movement to enforce the amendinents | can ever be executed by the democratic party. The noisy crowds that nail with enthusiasm the treason- able utterances of Jett Davis, the bands of midnignt | democratic oulaws who make night hideous in the | South by myrder and nameless crimes, without dan- ger or fear of punishment, clearly show that the democratic party of the South cannot yet be trusted | With political power, while the uncertain, evasive and divided voce of the democrauc party of the North, with policy pulling one way and principle anotuer, with the poll icians prveenies the new gos- pei of 4 new departure, and the Instincts and preyu- dices of the masses stil opposed with its spoken ul.erances, like Delpaic oracies, paltering in a duvuble sense—in such @ condition the democratic party of the North is utterly unfit to assume responsi- bility inthe government cxcept its old rite of iault facing, of opposing What we do, of proposing no- thing, of voting aguinst everything, even against the English Treaty, im hopes that something will turn up, A PROPOSITION. Test the democratic party by what it has done Where it has veen in power recently. What good did its temporary Ley ape A in the Legislature of On10 do the people of Ohio? it pledged reform, and yet increased the State expenditures in every branch of the service and largely increa-ed local taxe: What hus it done in NeW ork, and especially in the city, where, wader Tammauy influence, there ts estal lished the most scandatous and corrupt municipal government tu the world? Whatcan it do tor the future of this country? ANALYZING THB DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, Here t4 a string of fifteen resolutions, and Were is not asingle wilirmative proposiuon in them po which the democratic party could stand united except the one CS amnesty to Davis, Toombs and the rebels of the South.

As sandy Long Istand suffered on Sunday, | Rock Island paper suffered yesverday to a great ex. | ; tent, and tumbled down more houses on Wall street | than the great subterranean wave did. To appreciate the true character of | the panic it may be well to say that last winter, when the stock of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company stood at | from 103 to 106, 4 POOL WAS FORMED to “bull” the market on this stock.

The worst feature, therefore, of the disaster 1s the iniquitous scheme ; Which the clique employed in order to seduce | the public into buying the inflated stock. To | enable them to give @ pretext for the rise in its price and in order to hold out the temptation of | still higher prices they caused a rumor to be circu- | lated that it was the intention of the company to declare | A ONE HUNDRED PER CENT STOCK DIVIDEND, on which cash dividends would be paid the same as on the original stock.

AMUSEMENTS. WALLACK'S THEATRE.—The nineteenth century has beeu catled the century of the workingmen and trades’ unions, While the wild work of the Inter- national Society—the most powerfal of its kind ever organized—has been exhibiting its teudencies toward destruction in Paris, it is not, perhaps, the ume to bring upon the stage a picture wholly Oatter- ing to societies of banded workingmena, whose chief object is to strike for higher wages. Boucicault, in his melodramatic play of the “Long Strike,” now being performed, has avoi ed taking sides either with the factory hands or their employer, and has consequently produced a play which in two or \ three scenes cannot be surpassed for mtensity of vi of Tevolung churacier against the commonest rights of | Successes broke the bower oe Ora egaeriy The movement in Rock Island is based on the fol- @ democratic Congress could or would pass any | ‘They tel that ; Where, then, would be the amendments or protec- | humanity.

On questions of finance we need no resolutions to show where we stand, The whoe existing system of financial legisiation 1s the work of the republi- cau party. During the war we were driven by our necessities to provide a currency. We gave you the reevbacks and the national bank noves. The green- kB Were a forcetluan. We did not, in the be- giuning, intend to exceed amount the sum we Could maumtain at a specie standard, but our neces gives leit us no choice, We increased them to,a | dangerous extent. but we supported their credit by the legal tender clause and by the right to convert mM Luto Interest bearing bonds, We lave since the | war sought to improve their credit, to bring them nearer and nearer to the standareé of gold. During the two yeare of this administration we have raised | Minety-one cents on the dollar, and this without contraction, distress, panic or financial revulsion. It left alone we wiil in two to the staudara of gold. We had two dangers to avoid—first, an increase and consequent deprecia- tion O these notes; and second, @ too sudden con- traction of currency, and the inevitable distress and ruin to those in business or in debt, We could sooner have resumed specie payments by redeem- Ine a portion of the greenvacks, but we | would thus have changed the standard of vaiue aud increased the burden of debt. We have avoided both extremes. We have maintained in circulation the maximum Mimit of greenvacks, and | increased their value by the natural growth of our | business and p puiation, and by the public confi- | deace in our policy. } to subvert this policy, In Obio they wculd increase | the greenbacks, in the East they would redeem them and force abruptly + ie payments. Dis- agrveing among themselves they agree to subvert | Our wise policy, and in their platiorms threaten | again the question of ing the bonds tn green: | backs. Our policy wiil soon make greenbacks and gold the common siandard of ali values and debts, and if this policy succeeds in the iuture as in the past our country will roe the unexampled spectacie of recovering from thé vast expenditures ol a War without discredit, without dishonor and | Without @ single wave of tnancial panic, In human | Ife the most prosperous and bealthy man is rarely contented with his tate; but surely our nation should Db? satisfied with its financial prosperity under the greatest difficulties ever overcome by a people. THE BANKING SYSTEM. As to onr banking system, it was but the choice of expedients, and [twas a happy choice. Itsub- verled an incongruous notch-poich of State bank- | ton and endangered by a swarm of counterfeits, These State banks were spawn of the extreme doctrine of State rights, If anything should be na- Uonal It should be vank notes, They are the blood of the system and should flow freely through the | Syste, A centralized bank like the old hank of the | United States was dangerous from its unity and | power. It was managed by a few who were encou- | | Taged to use their power for politicalends. Our pre- | sent banks are # unit only im their security, form | anu circulation, They cannot combine, when care- fully supervised and regulated by law, und well dis- | tribated they fori the most convenient financial ageats of the people. In comparison with the old State banks they are preferable in every respect, ‘Tue only question that can arise in the future about if | the nafional. banks is, whether notes issued | directly by the government and redeemable by the | arena may not supersede the necessity of ' bank notes, This would save vo the people the inter. | est on the circulating notes. So tar, xood. Their ! credit depends mainly upon the security of the gov- ernment, and the government should share in the | profit, But, on the contrary, the general onjects of | & government are not consistent with other neces- | 'y functions of a bank. .The operation of loaning | and redeeming notes cannot sately be performed by government agents. It must be done by private | parties, personally interested. Government banks | could not be properly distributed; even oifices of | Fedemption are sudject to many dangers. With } Ut going into detans upon this subject, we can safely follow all modern experience by leav- ing the business of banking, like other businesses, ' to the free and Interested agency of private citizens, | The functions of the government are fully exnaust- ed when it secares tne absolute safety of the note- holder, when tt prints in the best orm and devices the vank notes, and then leaves to private parties, without favor, the circulation and the redemption of the notes. ‘This 18 the basis of our present ays tem, and the Uniied States shares in the profit by &D annual tax of $2,000,000 and the States and mu | Nictpal corporations in another tax of $9,000,000, ‘while the people enjoy local Jaciltties, unquestioned | security, freedom from counterfeits and the uniform credit and value Oo! the note 1 every part of our Prine extended couniry.

THE “CORNER,” had given large orders to various brokers to buy on ‘the rising market, but it is said that his copartners in the corner, fearing that the in fated stock would bust like @ soap bubble too soon for success, began selling out early in the day.

This soon became known for a fact, and then Black Friday, Jr., leaped on the scene, Many of the brokers who had bought | on Woodward's account could not pay up their margin, and the consternation became universal.
