SLATE CAME OUT UNBRoKEN.
Ohio Republicans Conclude Their
Work and Adjourn.

COLUMBUS, o., March IL The
Grand opera house was unable again
today to give admission to more than
half OF those holding tickets and wear
Ing badges with McKinley's picture
thereon. Some of the delegates to the
Republican state convention, which
was to have assembled at 10 a. M, were
crowded out. With a heavy snow
falling, standing room on the outside
was not as desirable as yesterday, and
there was much complaint about the
capacity of the hail. 1t was 1915 when
Senator-Elect Foraker called the con-
vention to order. At that time the stage
was crowded with Ohio congressman
and other party leaders. The tempo
rary organization Of the convention
was unanimously made the permanent
organization, when Chairman Foraker
briefly acknowledged the double honor,
and proceeded with business. The re-
port Of the committee on rules and
orders Of business changed some pre-
cedents in the order of nominations,
and discussion was precipitated on one
amendment to have the nomination
for food and dairy commissioner come
last on the list. The amendment was
lost, and the report adopted. Con-
gresham J. M. Taylor, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, reported the
platform, which was greeted with fire:
quent applause, and adopted.
The platform, after the usual denun-
citation Of the Democratic party, takes
a strong stand for the policy of pro-
lection, and especially denounces the
present tariff on wool. On the financial
question it Is more ambiguous, declar-
ing only 'for currency Of gold, silver
and paper, with which to measure our
exchange, that will be as sound as the
government, and as untarnished as it's
honor, and to that end we favor BIZ
mettalism and demand the use Of both
gold and silver as standard money, ell
Their in accordance with a ratio to be
fixed by an international agreement,
if that can be obtained, or under such
restrictions and such provisions to be
determined by legislation, as will Sc
cure the maintenance of the PARTIES
of the values of the two metals, so that
the purchasing and the debt-paying
power Of the dollar, whether of silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times
equal"
A formal Endorsement of McKinley's
presidential candidacy concludes the
document.
Asa S. Bushnell, Joseph 3. Foraker,
Charles H. Grosvenor and Mark A
Hanna were elected as delegates at
large to the Republican national con-
vention at st. Louis, and were instruct
ed to vote and work for the nomination
Of the United States
J. E. Loves, Of Dayton; Senator
Charles Fleischman, CT Cincinnati; ex-
Senator John P. Green, of Cleveland
and Congressman John N. Taylor, of
New Lisbon, were elected alternateS at
large.
I. F. Mack, of the Sandusky Register,
and Hon. Albert G. Douglas Jr. were
elected delegates at large, and then
the following state ticket was named:
For secretary of state, Charles Kin
ney, of Scioto; for supreme judge, Mar
shall j. Williams, of Fayette, renomi-
mated; for food and dairy commission
er, Joseph e. Blackburn, of Belmont;
for member of the board Of public
works, Frank A. Hoffman, of Van
Wort.
After the announcement of the nomi-
nation of Hoffman the convention ad-
journed sine die.
There was but one break in the slate
as agreed upon. The nominee for sec
rotary Of state, Charles Kinney, is an
aggressive Sherman man, and to paci-
fly the Foraker faction, at a conference
held last night, it was agreed by the
party wheelhorses to put in compro-
mise candidate, in the person of Gen.
A. T. Wyckoff, who has a great record
as a harmonizer. But Kinney went in
and got just one more vote than was
needed to elect him. Kinney is young
man, and his friends appealed to the
younger element to make a stand
against the "daddies,' as they called
them.
While all the men on the ticket are
Mckinley men, there was no especial
significance in the selection of any Of
them, except that of Kinney, for the
head Of the ticket. 1t is understood
that Mckinley wrote, or dictated the
tariff and financial planks, and that the
whole platform is as he wanted it. His
managers are very jubilant over the re-
suit in the Ohio districts, as we'll as at
the state convention.
