Convention Yesterday.

Columbus, March 10.-"he most nota-
Bile feature OF the short session Of the Re-
publican state convention today was the
speech Of Senator-elect Foraker in which
he declared his allegiance to Mckinley
with all his characteristic vigor. The
time had come, he said, for redeeming
the third promise of the GAINESVILLE con-
vention which declared for the election
OF Mckinley to Presidency, and the con-
vention drowned his voice with cheers.
1.-The Republicans of Ohio" continued
Mr.. Foraker, "don't look unkindly at
Thomas B. Reed, (applause), nor Levi
=. Morton. nor VIM. B. Allison, nor
Matthew S. Quay. If the st. Louis con-
vention should disappoint US and give
the honors to one of them, we now pledge
him in advance the electoral vote of Ohio
by the largest majority ever in the his
tory of the st ate.''
The resolutions will declare for sound
money, protection to American indus
sries and will speak as strongly for Nc
kinley for the Presidency as words can.
