CONTEST ON STATE ISSUES.
The committee met tonight, the one
~ A1xr4s g.. \ .-.I-k
owing to some differences on state is
sues. The temporary organization will
be reported to the convention for it's
permanent organization. The hottest
fight is for food commissioner. The
committee on rules will report an or
der of business in favor of DR.. Nc
Neal, the incumbent. In the contest
for chairman of the state committee
H. P. Grouse, of Findlay, an appointee
of Mckinley, was elected over Vivian
]. Fagin. of Cincinnati, by a vote of
IL to 6, there being three absentees.
There were reports circulated today
that the Foraker men were fighting
Congressman Grosvenor for delegate
at large because he would not pledge
himself to Charles L. KurtZ for the
Ohio member of the national commit
tee. While Bushnell, Foraker, Gros-
venor and Hanna were recently Sc
lected by Mckinley or a conference
of his friends for the delegates at
large, yet Foraker had never con-
sented till today to go to st. Louis in
that capacity. There is good authority
for the report that Foraker, on ar
irving at noon today, told McKinleys
managers that he would not accept
a place as a delegate at large unless
Kurtz was promised the support Of
his colleagues for national committee
man. This arrangement was soon
made satisfactory to all. The four
delegates at large are said to be
pledged to KurtZ for the national COM
mittee.
AT A CONFERENCE
Of McKinley's friends tonight, in
which Senator Foraker, Gov. Bush
nell and their friends participated,
the following were decided on for alter
mates at large: DR.. j. E. Loves, Sen
ator John P. Green. colored. Senator
Charles Fleischman, Congressman
John N. Taylor.
John N. Taylor; electors at large, I.
F. Mack and Albert Douglas.
A slate was also agreed upon for
the state ticket, including Gen. A T.
Wykoff for secretary of state against
Doty and Kinney, who were making
close race. Williams for supreme
judge, Blackburn for food commits
board of public works are also slated.
There will be no opposition to the slate
for delegates and alternates, but there
will be fight on the proposed state
ticket for all the places except supreme
judge.
The subcommittee on resolutions
completed it's work by midnight and
will report to the full committee to-
morrow morning previous to the assem-
bling of the convention. The planks
on the tariff and finance were adopted
as written by Mckinley and express
views on protection and bimetallism.
The currency resolution is the same as
in the national platform of 1892. The
resolution indorsing Mckinley for pres
ident is as strong as it could be made.
The embarrassment on certain tenn.
perance state legislation was covered
in a general Endorsement of the pres
ent legislature which defeated radical
measures and increased the liquor tax.
There is nothing specially new in the
declaration, but the preamble is a
caustic indictment of President CIeve
lands administration.
