The State Controller VIII Refuse to
Sign the Appropriation Warrants.

Controller Colgan has announced that he
will refuse to sign the warrants for the pay
ment of $500, 600 appropriated to the Cali
fornia worlds fair commission for the

provision of the state constitution which
says that no money shall be appropriated
for the benefit of any association or institu-

IL is no secret that ex-Gov. Foraker aspires
to succeed Joha Sherman in the United
States Senate, and the young men
who are his followers dominated
the convention. In like degree the young
republicans appeared TO he devoted to
James G. Blaine; yet the ovation which
greeted the mention of the services Of the dis
tinguished Secretary OF State was
by no means confined to the younger
element. Old men to-day forgot their age
and th5iT dignity as they Joined IN the wild
acclaim provoked by the name OF Secretary
Blaine and waved their hats joyously while
shouting over and over again the name of
the popular leader. But President Harri-
son and Senator Sherman are still dear TO
to the heart of the average "0hio man."
asI the uproarious applause which
greeted the mention of their names amply
testified. Particularly was this true of
Senator Sherman, who, however much
Secretary Blaine might have led President
Harrison In popular approval. shared
almost equally with Gov. Foraker the
plaudits of the Ohio republicans.
AT WORK ON THE PLATFoRM.
The committee on resolutions was in ses-
sion until late tonight drafting platform
for to-morrow's convention, but no mate
rial progress was made. There were two
subjects OF dispute, the money question and
tariff question, and there will prcb-
ably be a compromise on both. Enthusiastic
Mckinley men were in favor Of a resolu-
tion indorsing in emphatic terms the
mckinley law" but others thought q
safer plan was TO merely indorse the prin'
c;ple of protection to American labor.
This and and other disputed subjects we're
finally referred to subcommittee of five,
which will report on them inthe committee
tomorrow morning. The resolutions so far
as agreed upon. and upon which there was
no dispute. arraign aud denounce the pres
ent democratic state administration and the
recent democratic legislature.
