.'he State convention, which concluded this
afternoon its session OF two days. was more
OF a Mckinley rally than the usual party
business assembly. 1t was held two or three
months earlier than usual in order TO pro-
claim TO the country the sentiment Of Nc
Kinley's State Not since the Endorsement
OF r. b. Hayes for the presidency at the
Republican State convention, 1876. has there
been such a harmonious meeting OF repre-
sentative Republicans in Ohio. When Sem
ator Sherman was indorsed for President at
the State conventions of 1850, 1884 and 1888
there were bitter contests and 1t required
considerable effort In 1892 to prevent open
opposition in the Ohio State convention to
Harrison for a second term. At that time
Charles Foster was Secretary OF the Treas
ury and Is credited with controlling the
convention.
While the slate was carried out for dele
gates at large and alternates to the St.
Louis convention without a scratch dis
senting vote ii was broken on the State
ticket. Sherman and Foraker will sit in the
Senate together, but for several years the
Republicans OF Ohio have had what became
known as "the Sherman faction" and "the
Foraker faction" In the senatorial contest
OF 1882 the Foraker men claimed that their
man for reelection but for the help given
''the Sherman faction" by the Mckinley
State administration. At that time Charles
Kinney was one of the most aggressive
Sherman men and has always been most
enthusiastic Mckinley man. He was chief
clerk in the Office OF Secretary of State
has occupied the same position ever since
under Secretary OF State s. NJ Taylor.

THE "DADDIES" BEATEN.
Accordingly a conference of leaders was
held last night. attended by all the delegates
at large and others, at which 1t was decided
to bring out Gen. A. T. Wykoff who had
often been chairman Of the State committee
and had a great record as a harmonizer as
well as campaign manager. General Wy
koff was Secretary Of State when Ruther-
ford B. Hayes was Governor. and was the
manager of the Hayes interests at the Re-
publican State convention in Cincinnati. in
1876. when Hayes was nominated over Blaine,
Conkling, Morton. Logan and others. Wy
kof was pension agent for Ohio under
Hayes. AS Kinney and Doty had made the

friends appealed to the younger element to
make a stand against ''the daddies.'' as they
called them While all the men on the ticket
