CLEVELAND, o., April 2s.-With
knives uplifted IN deadly earnest until
the very moment OF the assem- bling OF
the convention was the way the rival
hands Of Shermanites and FOrakeriteS
auproached each other to-day. Sudden
lv and Unexpectedly, however, as the
trumpet OF the Archangel Gabriel,
came at the critical moment voice
commanding halt.
Fiery whlte-haired Gen. w. II. (BilD
Gibson, Of Tifin, imperSOnated the
archangel. He declared that he would
nominate slate without regard 10
either side. He would, himself, with
draw and unless prevented by what
would amount TO an act Of providence,
or the powers Internal would move that
all four delegates at large TO Minnea-
polls be nominated by acclamatiOn, and
that they be Mckinley, Foraker, Bush
nell and Hahn-twO unmiStakable Sher-
man and easily recognized Foraker men.
Asa result OF this bold move no fight
was made on the permanent OrgaHiza-
tion. and Gov. Mckinley made his initial
appearance, and went 20 the Chair amid
a tremendous OutburSt of applause and
waving OF hats and handkerchiefS.
Notwithstanding that he had been up
uptil a. m. at the Americas Club
Gathering in Pittsburg and had travelled
continuously until almost The time he
stepped upon the platform, Gov. Nc
kiuIey's magnificent vitality seemed
unfaQging and he seemed calm, force
ful aud ready for any emergency as he
stepped 20 the front Of the stage ana
Gazing an instant at the wildly cheer
Ing mass Of people before him began
his speech:
The Ohio Republican convention is
here today 60 organize for the victory OF
1907 This is our opening OF the campaign,
must result i'm our triumph for the Rspub-
Irtn party In the nation. We were never,
ann groud 10 saw, I'm better condition for
u.r1Ie" A re ference 10 the administration
of President Harrison brought out hearty
cheers. succeeded few moments later by
au extraordinary hurran tnat snoo6 the
roof when the speaker gave utterance 10

-lNrn us 10 is no longer question Of
promise. We stand where we have always
stood The tariff which we stand for is a
tariff which she'll protect the homes and
t1a irssides Of America against all the
world And we need not ne alarmed at the
outcome. We are not dealing this year
with p tariff OIL four weeks old as we were
I'm 1890 It was then too young 20 speak
for itself To is now eighteen months
old and doing It's own talking. Great
cheering ana laughter The tariff system
that we upheld is the American system,
and we propose 20 stand right by 1t. Our
opponents sav, i'm attacking that system,
that the last Congress was a billion dollar
Congress My friends, 10 was a two billion
dollar Congress. BY its enactments we
nave increased the foreign and domestic
trade of the United States a total OF two
billion in one year, point never reached
before since the foundation OF the Ameri-
can government. Gentlemen, l closed
one speech in Pittsburg az one
o'clock this morning, and now wish to
stOp a little short (CrleS OF, Go on Go on y
Giving you the greetings Of the Repuol-

and when we 20 out of this convention
whether 1 have had my way or you have

vention be the law Of Republican action.
(Applause)
AS il sped from a rifle barrel. the re-
port OF the Committee on Rules and
Order OF Business, which was expected
10 be the signal for the opening of the
conflict between the sherman and For
aker factions went through the cOnven-
ton unanimously, absolutely without a
syllable of friction. Now came the
platform and il too shot straight across
the big hall TO the mark Of perfect
unanimity.
Not a single "no" was voiced, and the
IIghtning-like quality OF the harmony
was simply bewideriDg, the platform
beipg adopted before the orators could
rub their eyes.
The following Is fair outline Of the
Yeport of the Committee on ReSolu-
tions:
THE Republicans Of Ohio join with their
bre:hren in all the States and Territories
of the Union in reaftirming their allegiance
10 the Republican party and In expressing
their confidence in the principles of the
great organization which carried the cOun-

The people Of Ohio have just pride in
the administration Of affairs OF this State

cordially declare our adhesion 10 the doc

worthy OF particular mention its recipro-
I'VE condemn the bill recently passed by
the Democratic majority in the House Of
Representatives TO place wool on the free
list as an unjust and hUrtul attack on the
agricultural industries Of the country.
We are opposed to the free coinage Of
silver by the United states under the eN-
isting circumstances, and would not favor
IL EXCEPT under conditions that would reas-
ouablyinsure the maintenance of the parity
between the bullion and the mint or money
value OF its coin.
We favor Just aud liberal pensions TO
every soldier and sailor who fOught In be-
half Of the Union.
We heartily endorse the disability pen
sion bill as an act OF justice, too long de-
layed because of the opposition % all Just
pension legislation by Democratic Presi-
dent and Democratic Congress.
