The Republican 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 CIR three months earlier
than usual, in order to proclaim to the
country the sentiment of MeKinley's
state. Not since the endorsement of r.
Il. Hayes for the presidency at the Re-
publican state convention in 1876 has
there been such
A HARMONIOUS MEETING
of representative Republicans in Ohio.
When Senator Sherman was endorsed for
president at the state conventions of
1885, 1884 and 1888, there were bitter con-
tests and it 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 treasury,
and is credited with having controlled
the convention. While the state was car
ried out for delegates at large and al
termates to the st. Louis convention with
out 2 scratch or dissenting vote, 1t 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 fac
ton and the Foraker faction" In the
sena torial
CONTEST OF 1892,
the Foraker men claimed that their ia
vorite would have defeated Senator Sher-
man for reelection. but for the help
given 1.-THE Sherman faction by the
Mckinley state administration. At that
time Charles Kinney was one Of the most
aggressive Sherman men, and mas al
ways been a most enthusiastic NlChln-
lev man. He was chief clerk in the office
of secretary of state, under Daniel ).
Ryan from 1889 to 1893 and has occupied
the same position ever since under Sec
rotary of State S. NJ. Taylor. hinney'S
only opponent for the nomination was r.
w. Doty 1t was claimed yesterday that
the old factional lines were being drawn
in the contest between Kinney and
Doty Accordingly a conference of lead
ers was held last night, attended by all
the delegates at large and others, at
which it was decided to bring out Cen
eral A T. Wykoff, who had often been
chairman of the state convention and
had 2 great

as well as a campaign manager Cen
eral Wykoff was secretary Of state when
r. B. Hayes was governor, and was the
manager of the Hayes interest at the
Republican convention in CINCINNATI III. IN
1876. when Hayes was nominated over
Blaine, Conklin, Morton, Logan and
others Wykoff was the pension agent for
Ohio under Hayes. AS Kinney and Doty
had made the canvass, 1t was the pan
TO give them both a. good complimen airy
vote and have enough votes to go to wy
koff to prevent nomination on the nrst
ballot a1pd then nominate Wykcff on the
second ballot But Kinney went in
against the field and got one vote more
than he needed, with all the old wheel
horses working for what they called a
bigger man. ..s
Kinney is a young man, and his friends
appealed to
THE YOUNGER ELEMENT
to make a stand against the unfortunate
daddies, as they called them: While all
the men on the ticket are Mckinney men
there was no special slgnlncance IN the
Selection of any of them except That or

THE PLATFORM.
The Republicans of Ohio congratulate
the people of the country upon the grown
of Repllblican sentiment, as evidenced by
the signal victories of the last three years,
which assure a glorious national triumph
in the coming election.
We denounce the Democratic adnnlnls-
+ration as the most destructive and dis
a sfrous the history of our country has
ever known. It has not only disappolpi ed
the expectations of the country, put mas
Justly forfeited the confidence and support
of it's own party
We affirm our adherence to the prin--
ciples of the Republican party as denned
nv the national convention in 1892.
We are faithfully welded to the great
PRINCIPLE OF PROTECTION
nv every tie of party feslty and affection,
and il is dearer to us now that ever be
fore. It has more devoted supporters
among the great masses OF the American
neople irrespective of PARTY, than at any
previous period in our national history.
It is everywhere recognized and endorsed
as the great. masterful, triumphant
American principle key to our pros
perity in business, the safest prop to the
treasury of the United States and the
buIwarks of our national independence
and financial honor.
We denounce the present tariff law as
the sublimated product of Democratic
ignorance and incompstency, bringing, as
it has, to a prosperous and happy PEG
pie, a period of unprecedented adversely
and distress from which nothing but a
return to the policy OF protection can re-
lieve It.
we denounce the free wool provision of
the present tariff iaW as an unjust dis
against an important IN
dustry and against a large part of our
people and demand such
PROTECTION FOR THE SHEEP
husbandry as will secure fair prices for
American wool.
The Republican party stands for
that reClprocates and which
does not WELD up 10 another country q
