Buckeye state again assembled yester-
day to proclaim anew their loyalty and
devotion to its principles and to place in
nomination ticket with which to con-
jure their adherents in the presidential
election of November next Music hall
never looked more bright or attractive
than it did in the afternoon. When
State Chairman G. w. King brought
down his gavel on the desk he stood be-
meath an immense floral arch twelve
feet in height, which shed it's fragrance
far and near, and having for it's silken
background fan 10 feet by 40, made
up of the national colors. The foot
lights were banked with palms, exotics
and growing flowers. When ex-Gov.
Foraker uentered at the head of the
Hamilton county delegation he was
given a succession of cheers that fairly
shook the building,
1t was 2:30 p. m. when Judge King
called the gathering to order. Rev. G.
S. Pomeroy invoked the divine blessing
on the deliberations of the gathering.
Then Hon. Charles p. Griffin, of Toledo,
who had been elected by the state com
mittee as temporary chairman, was in
troduced and delivered lengthy ad
dress devoted principally to a eulogistic
review of the course of the party to-
ward state issues.
There was deafening applause when
in speaking of the men whose names
had been identified with tariff legisla-
tion he mentioned in turn Mckinley,
Blaine and Harrison; but it was notice
able that the reference to the man from
Maine evoked the greater enthusia SIN.
At the conclusion of the address the
committees on permanent organization
and platform were announced and an
adjournment was taken until this morn
ing.
The various district delegations held
their meetings to elect members of the
new state central committee, which
will have charge of this years campaign.
1t is claimed by the Sherman managers
that they have captured sixteen out of
the twenty-one members. The Foraker
element comedies it's defeat without Civ
ing figures.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation has selected Gov. Mckinley for
permanent chairman and J. R. Malloy,
clerk of the house of representatives, as
secretary
CLEVELAND, April 29.-Delegates and
visitors to the republican state conven-
ton took time by the forelock in get.
ting into Music hall Thursday. The
proba bility of exciting times naturally
made Music hall the great center of at.
traction, and its doors were besieged at
an early hour by an immense crowd. II
was great sea of heads that Tempo
rary Chairman Griffin looked down to
and up to, when at 1918 he sounded his
gavel and demanded order. Prayer was
offered by Rev. ID. Fl. Mueller. After
prayer, when the report of the commit
tee on permanent organization was pre-
sented, the name of Gov. Mckinley
elicited prolonged applause. The an.
ticipated opposition to Secretary Malloy
failed to materialize and the report was
adopted with enthusiasm. Gov. McKin-
ley was given most enthusiastic greet
ing on being seated as permanent chair
man. He made brief speech which
was repeatedly applauded. The com.
mittee on resolutions reported the fol.
lowing platform, which was adopted:
The republicans of Ohio Join with their breth
rem all the states and territories OF the Union
In reaffirming their allegiance to the republican
party and in expressing their confidence in the
principles of the great organization which car
ried the country in 1883.
We declare our unbounded confidence in Presi
dent Harrison, and without qualification indorse
and commend his administration OF the great
ofice which he holds. He has given the country
wise, just and patriotic administration. HIT
has maintained the national dignity and honor
at home and abroad. He has upheld the glory
of the flag while promoting peace and securing
prosperity He has faithfully redeemed every
pledge given before his election and jealousy

While carefully and intelligently observing the
platforms and teachings OF his party, he has ye
been q statesman wise, broad, and emnently
American and patriotic.
The people OF Ohio have Just pride In the ad
mnistration OF the affairs OF the state by Gov
Mckinley. He brought to the discharge of hi.
duties as governor ripe experince, great learn
ing in statesmanship, and an honest and patri
otlc purpose: and he has already shown himsel
capable faithful and wise. We heartily indorS,
his administration thus far and assure him o
our great esteem and confidence.
The best eXemplihcation OF the principle o
protection-a cardinal one with the republican
party-that has found expression in the statutes
Is the Mckinley bill and we cordially declare
our adhesion to the doctrines OF that grea
measure, including, as worthy of particula
mention, its reciprocity features.
1t will not escape the profound attention o
the country that the democratic party, comn
into power in the house of representatives a
the implacabe foe OF q law then just enacted
American labor and American interests, witt
the avowed purpose to wipe II from the statut
books sc Tar as It's power extended Ut the mrs
opportunity, has, after witnessing its benefcen
operations for single year, deliberately deter
mined 1t to be inexpedient and unsafe part,

Its repeal, or even its modification except As u
less than half dozen out OF its thousar DIS o
itemS' and with respect to these II has lake
the pi Gcaution repeatedly to assure the coun
try IL advance that absolutely nothing cur. com
of its attempts in this direction.
We condemn the bill recently passed by tn
democratic majority in the house of representa-
tiyes TO place wool on the free list as an unjus
and hurtful attack on the agricultural indus
tries OF the country and We insist on such full
and adequate protection for the wool industr
as will enable American farmers to supply tn
wool required for consumption in the Unite
States.
We favor just and liberal pensions to ever
soldier and Sailor who fought in behalf OF tn
Union And we heartily endorse the disabilit
pension bill as an act of justice too long delaye
because OF the opposition to all just pension leg
islation by u democratic president and demo
cratic congress.
We believe In q fair ballot and fair count
