CLEVELAND, April 2S.-At the last
moment before the reassembling of the
Republican State Convention this morn
ing the fight between the friends of
Foraker and Sherman over the delegates
at-large to the National Convention was
settled by an arrangement to nominate
Mckinley, Foraker, Bushnell and Hahn,
thus dividing the delegates evenly.
Mckinley called the convention to or
der and delivered a brief address of en-
couragement as to the outlook for the
coming campaign. His references to
Harrison and Blaine were loudly ap-
plauded.
When the Committee on Rules and
Order Of Business reported it became ap-
parent that the machinery was CREASED
and running smoothly, for the expected
fight between the Sherman and Foraker
men did not break out. The committees
report was adopted without division, as
was that of the Committee on Resolu-
tions
The platform expresses confidence in
the principles of the Republican party
winch carried the country in 1855: in
dorSeS President Harrison without quail
tication, and commends the administra-
ton; lndorses the administration of Gov
ernor Mckinley. Jr., and declares ad-
herence to the Mckinley tariff bill and
the reciprocity clause thereof; declares
that the Democratic party, after wit
Messing its beneticent operations for
single year, although coming into
power with the avowed purpose of wip-
ing the law from the statute books, de-
liberately determined it an inexpedient
and unsafe policy to attempt its repeal or
modification, except as to less than halfa
dozen out OF thousand items; condemns
the bill recently passed by the Democratic
majority in the House placing wool on
the Tree list as an unjust and hurtful at
tack on the agricultural industries of the
country, and insists on such full and
adequate protection for the wool industry
as will enable American farmers to sup
ply the wool required for consumption in
the United States; opposes free coinage
of silver by the United States under eX-
listing circumstances, and does not favor
it except under conditions that would
reasonably insure the maintenance of
substantial parity between the bullion
and mint or money value of coin: every
coined dollar should have the intrinsic as
we'll as monetary value of every other
coined dollar.
The platform favors just and liberal
pensions, and heartily indorses the disa-
biiity pension bills; asserts belief in
free ballot and fair count, and declares
that unless these rights are accorded to
the humblest citizen it becomes the duty
of the Federal Government to secure
them by federal enactment; demands the
enactment of laws protecting the cOun-
try and people against the influx of
vicious and criminal classes from foreign
nations, and the importation of Iaborers
under contract to compete with our citi-
Zens.
The following ticket was nominated:
Secretary OF state, j. w. Taylor; Su-
preme Court Judges, William T. Spear
(renomination) and J. +. Burkett; Su-
preme Court Clerk, Captain j. B. Allen
Board of Public Works, J. 2. Alexander

vention, the four names already given.
After choosing two Presidential Electors
the convention adjourned.

his seat amid great applause.
When Reid referred TO President
Harrison as that noble man
sitting under his grandfather's hat
in the White House." the house
rang with cheers and laughter. 1t

Secretary, the matchless Blaine,5 to
bring the convention to its feet, and the
cheering for a time was deafening.
After MIR. Reed closed his,remarks a
great shout went up for Depew ard con-
tinued until that gentleman came to the
stage. He said in part: The Democratic
Legislature has left Albany, and the Re-
publican convention is here. Morning
always follows night. The Democratic
party for the first time in many years has
had possession during the past winter of
every branch of our State Government.
1t has demonstrated what it could do, and
then taken preliminary appeal to the
people, and the preliminary appeal has
been answered at the spring elections in
every township and city in the State"
After speaking in eulogy OF the Nc
kinley bill and saying that the stand of
the party is for honest money, Mr.. Depew
continued: mo honOrS could be heaped
any higher than those that already rest by
the common consent of MS grateful coun-
trymen upon the head of James e.
Blaine [applausel, and let me say to
hereditary legislators, there is the choice
of the people, Benjamin Harrison-match
him"

gold, and 10 repel the assaults of reckless
advocates of free and unlimited coinage

troll OF that section; arraigns the Demo-
