Ohio Republican Convention.

At the state convention of Ohio Re-
publicans, held at Columbus, the Grand
opera house was crowded. Chairman
j. M. Ickes reviewed the Mckinley
campaigns in Ohio, and stated that at
the state convention in GAINESVILLE last
year the party entered into pledge to
make Bushnell governor, Foraker SEN
| ator and to use every honorable means
to make Mckinley president. Two
parts of the trinity had been fulfilled
| and the Republicans of Ohio had now
| assembled to fulfill the third part-the
unanimous and unqualified support of
Mckinley for the presidential nomina-
ton. These remarks caused such
demonstration that it was some time
before Mr.. Ickes could introduce Sen
| ator-elect Foraker, as the temporary
chairman of the convention. And
when Mr.. Foraker was introduced
! there was another enthusiastic scene,
which was repealed as often as he pro-
ceeded, Senator Foraker devoted his
speech to eulogizing and nominating
Mckinley. 1t was some time before
the pputine business could be pro-
ceeded with After the appointment
OF the usual committees the conven-
ventlon adjourned for the day.
Inc entire convention was most har-
monious and was more like a McKin-
, ley rally than convention. There
were several warm tussels for candi-
dates for the minor Offices of the state
government and the nominations were
as follows: Delegates-at-large, ~ Gov.
Asa 5. BUSHNELL, Senator. elect j. Il.
Foraker, Congressman Chas. ii. Grosve-
nor and Hon. Marcus A. Hanna; alter
nates,HJ. f.. Loves, Chas. Fleischman,

at-large, |. f. Macllay and Albert C.
Douglas; secretary of state, Chas.
Kinney; supreme judge, Marshal j.
Williams; food commissioner, Joseph
i. Black burn; member board of public
works, Frank A. Hoffman.

lated the country on the growing Re-
publican sentiment as shown by recent

publican platform of 1892; declared
strongly for protective tariff; de-
nounced the present tariff law; de-
clared that the Republican party
stands for a reciprocity that recipro-
Gates; it stands for foreign policy
that is genuinely American-for the
Monroe doctrine as Monroe himself
proclaimed it: it stands for a CONNER
cial policy that will whiten every sea
by the sails of American vessels flying
the American flag and that will pro-
tect that flag wherever it Ayats; de-
nounced the present pensionl HdHiinis-

Kansas Republicans for Mckinley.
The Kansas state Republican con-
vention was held at Wichita. Judge
Horton, as temporary chairman, scored
the recent Populist state administra-
ton numerically. The delegates
elected were strictly on the Mckinley
basis. Kansas will go solidly for the
ex-governor of. Ohio.
Rhode Island Wants the Maine Man.
The Republican state convention of
Rhode Island was held at Providence.
On taking the chair, Gen. Dyer said:
The Republican party of Rhode
Island has always been partial to the
state of Name, and this year the choice
of the party at large should fall upon
her most eminent statesman, and it
would rest upon no broken Reed"
