Ohio Republican Convention.

CLEVELAND, o., April 2S.-At the last
publican state convention this morning,
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 Mckinney,
Foraker, Bushnell and Hapn, thus dividing
them evenly.
Mckinley called the convention to order
and delivered brief address of encourage
ment as to the outlook for the coming cam
paign, his references to Harrison and
Blaine being loudly applauded.
The committee on rules and order of
business reported and it became apparent
the machinery was creased and running

the sherman and Foraker men did not

by the Democratic majority in the House

and hurtful attack on the agricultur al
industries of the country and in

protection for the wool industry as will
enable American farmers to supply the
wool required for consumption in the
United States; opposes the free coinage of
silver by the United States under existing
circumstances and does not favor it except
under conditions that would reasonably
insure the maintenance of a substantial
parity between bullion and the mint or
money value of the coin. Every coined
dollar should have the intrinsic as well as
monetary value OF every other coined dol
lar.
The platform fayors just and liberal pen
