 cans-New Jersey for Harrison Democrats or Illinois Convene.
 CLEVELAND, o, April 27.-Promptly at 2:30 o'clock the state republican conven- tion began at the Cleveland Music hall in the presence of an unusually large and ex- cited assemblage. The applause of the convention was given to mention of Gov ernor Mckinley. Judge King, chairman of the state central comittee, in introducing the Foraker temporary chairman, stole 8 march on the latter gentleman, and in a neat little address contrived to name before anyone else the great apostle of protec- ion and omit reference to ex-Governor Foraker. Hearty applause was elicited in stantly at McKinley's name and the For l aker men were somewhat taken aback, but got their revenge when Judge King later | on referred to Secretary Blaine. An up- roar of applause followed from all sides of the hall, several times renewed. Presi- dent Hsrrison's name was also literally cheered.
 After prayer by the Rev. Charles s. Pomeroy, Hon. Charles P. Griffin of Toledo was introduced as chairman. The committee on permanent organiza- tion met tonight. The committee decid- ed to report the name of Governor Nc Kinley for permanent chairman of the convention. The platform committee was said tonight to have practically agreed upon platform endorsing Harrison's ad- ministration and McKinley's course as governor, besides eulogizing the Mckinley bill and inserting separate wool plank, as gress regarding cotton ties. An honest dollar is demanded and honest elections north and south are called for. There is conservative pension plank. Direct in- structions for Harrison are understood to have been omitted in deference to McKin- ley's contingent candidacy and also be- cause some of Forsker's lieutensnts might, it was feared, endesvor to defeat them.

 NEW JERSEY REPUBLICANS.
 TTENToN, April 27.-The republican state convention met at noon. The platform adopted strongly endorses the administra- ton of President Harrison. After lauda- tions of the different departments it adds that the republican congress has kept the promise of the republican party to revise the tariff in the interest of American in dustries, American wages and American homes. It has provided for the rebuild ing of the American navy and maintained a happy mean in appropriations between extravagsnce and parsimony. It then contrasts the cowardice and duplicity with which the present democratic house is treating the questions which engross the attention and affect the interest of the people. The platform declares abiding faith in the protective tariff system and the Mckinley bill. It opposes any and all attempts to debass the national currency and stands with President Harrison and the republican party in firm and unyield- ing opposition to the free silver coinage.
 NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS.
