of the house of representatives to tell a
lie. They say we spent a great deal of
money. So we. did, but we have
less debt than two years ago. The
greatest expenditure was for the
brave men who sacrificed their lives
that the United States might live.
And we have no apology to make
for that. We appropriated Sl7.O 900
to pay the war tax which the states
had advanced TO help the government
IN its time of stress, when the Union
was in danger. If it were not for the
million and quarter dollars which
Ohio got. the state treasury
whatever the issue be. whether it be
sound money, the billion-doIlar con-
gress, TON Reeds rulings, or honest
ballot, we will meet our adverSaries
anywhere and everywhere. All / ask
OF the people of Ohio is that every man
write on his ballot what he thinks, and

was introduced, and spoke briefly, but
enthusiastically, Of coming Republican
victory. The committee on resolutions
was i'll session until late tonight draft
ing the platform for to-morrow's con-
Ventlon, but no material progress
was made, as there were two sub
]ects OF dispute, the money question
and the tariff question, and there will
probably be compromise on both. The
enthusiastic Mckinley men were in
favor OF resolution indorSing in en-
phatic terms the Mckinley Iaw;"
but others thought the safer plan
was to merely indorse the principle of
protection to American labor. This
was the dispute, aud the subjects
were finally referred to a subcommittee
or five, which will report to the main
committee tomorrow morning. The
resolutions, so far as agreed upon and
upon which there was no dispute, ar
ralgn and denOunce the present Demo-
cratic state administration, and
the recent Democratic legislature
for their falsity to their pledges
their incompetency and their extrava-
gance. The Democratic legislature is
denounced, the election to the United
States senate of a financial speculator
and man who is practically a nom
resident OF Ohio, who had no record
OF craftsmanship and nothing to
recommend him for the high honor but
MS money; nan more in sympa-
thy with Wall street than with the peo-
pie of this commonwealth; also for hav-
ing unseated, without regard to even
the forms of law, legally elected
Republican lieutenant governor in
obedience to the decree of party
caucus for purely partisan pur-
poses. The Democratic legisla-
ture is also arralgned for pass
sing the most unfair congressional ger
rymander ever enacted in atNorthern
state, under which the Republican
party, with conceded majority of 90
OOO, was given less than one-third Of
OhiO'S representation in the national
house.
A Defeat for Sherman.
A. S. Bushnell, of Springfield, is to be
the permanent chairman of the conVen-
ton, 1t took the committee Just forty
five minutes tonight to nominate this
man. The result is signal defeat for
Senator John Sherman and a CORE
spending victory for Joseph B. For
axes. The latter had eighteen members
out OF twenty-one. Sherman was not
even placed in nomination, although it
had all along been understood that in
coming here as delegate at large he
had expected to preside over the gath
ering. When, however, it was proposed
that Bushnell be chosen by reclamation
the three objected with one voice,
and protested against gag law. One in
particular said that he had been sent to
the convention as Il Sherman man and
proposed to stand by his colors. Finally
Bushnell was selected by a majority
vote. This means that no resolution
IndOrSlng John Sherman for senator
will be submitted tomorrow. His past
course, however, may be approved
by perfunctory resolution. This
morning the anti-Sherman feel
ing was scarcely apparent. Tonight ii

made gallant struggle to secure the

his candidacy for reelection. To quote
