ZANEsvn.IE, O., May 30.-The NOM

vention is generally regarded as a vic.
tory FOR the Foraker men over the Nc

not as decisive as the former expected.
The Foraker men were able to concen-

for Bushnell, while Sherman, Foster
and other leaders opposed the favorite.
Hoyt and Nash made brilliant speeches
and were on the ground hustling, while
Bushnell remained at his home in
Springfield. The convention endorsed
Foraker for United States senator and
Mckinley for president.

The Tariff and Silver.
The planks relating to tariff and sill

follows:
We reaffirm our adherence to the
principles of the Republican party,
chief among which are: A protective
tariff, which, restoring American
wages and American products, shall
prove the highest interests Of American
Iaborers and American development
while providing adequate revenue for
the uses Of the government.
Honest money, consisting of gold,
silver and paper, every dollar as good
as any other dollar, and all backed by
the national faith and honor. We favor
bimetallism and demand the use of
both gold and silver as standard money,
either in accordance with a ratio to be
fixed by an International agreement, il
that can be obtained, or under such re.
strictions and such provisions to be de.
termined by legislation, as will secure
the maintenance Of the parity of values
of the two metals, SO that the purch as.
ing and debt paying power Of the dol.
lar, whether Of silver, gold or paper
shall be at all times equal.
