IT WAS ALL HARMONY.
Peace Reiens st the Convention Of the
Ohio Republicans.

Peace Rsisns se the Convention Of the
Ohio Republicans
CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 30.-Dele-
gates and visitors alike to the Repub-
lican State convention took time by
the forelock in getting into Music Hall
yesterday. It was stormy without.
but all the indications pointed toward
it being decidedly more stormy inside
before the day was over:
The fight between the Sherman and
Foraker factions was patched up, how
ever, bv the naming of two Sherman
and two Foraker men as delegates to
the National convention.
A reference by Gov. Mckinley to the
Administration of President Harrison
brought out hearty cheers, succeeded a
few moments later by an extraordinary
hurrah that shook the roof when the
speaker gave utterance to the name of
Secretary Blaine. The mention of
Ohio's son, Secretary of the Treasury
Foster. by Gov. Mckinley. was also
cheered.
The following are some of the most
important planks of the platform:
We declare our unbounded confidence
in President BENJAMIN Harrison, and
without qualification indorse and COM
mend his administration of the great
office which he holds. He has given
the country wise. just and patriotic
administration. He 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 the pledge given before his
election and jealously guarded the in
terests of the whole people.
The people of Ohio have a just pride
in the administration of the affairs of
this State by Gov. William Mckinley,
Jr. We heartily indorse his admins
tration thus far, and assure him of our
great esteem and confidence.
The best exemplificatiOn of the prip-
ciple of protection, cardinal one with
the Republican party, that has found
in the statutes, is the Nc
Kinley bill. And we cordially declare
our adherence to the doctrines of that
great measure, including, as worthy of
particular mention, its reciprocity
features
We 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 hurt
full attack on the agricultural indus
tries of the country, and we insist on
such full and adequate protection for
the wool industry as will enable Amer
lean farmers to supply the wool re-
quired for consumption in the United
States.
We are opposed to the free coinage
of silver by the United States under ex-
isting circumstances. and we would not
favor it except under conditions that
would reasonably insure the mainten-
ance OF the substantial purity between
the bullion and the mint or money
value of its coin. Every coined dollar
should have the intrinsic as well as the
value of every other coined
dollar.
We favor just and liberal pensions to
every soldier and sailor who fought in
behalf of the Union, and we heartily
indorse the Disability Pension bill. as
an at of justice too long delayed.
While inviting to our shores the
poor and oppressed of other
we demand the enactment of
laws that will protect our country and
our people against the influx of the
vicious and criminal classes of foreign
nations and the importation of labor
ers under contract to compete with our
and earnestly approve the
rigid enforcement of existing immigra-
lion laws by the national administra-
ion
