allegiance to the national administration.
Among the principal planks are the fol-
lowing:
The Republican party has always been
the friend of the down-trodden and op-
pressed, and has always deeply sympa-
-thized with the struggle of any people for
independence. We extend our sympathy
to the patriots Of Cuba in their efforts to
achieve freedom from Spanish cruelty and
oppression, and hope that the day of their
deliverance is near at hand. We commend
the course of the President, and express
our confidence in his speedy and patriotic
disposition of the Cuban question in ac-
cordance with wise craftsmanship and a
firm and vigorous policy.
We believe that the administration in
negotiating the treaty for the annexation
of Hawaii has acted wisely and we ex-
press the hope that the Senate will ratify
the same.
We denounce the violation of the spirit
of the civil service act by President Cleve-
land in those orders which extended its
operation beyond its purpose and intent,
and demand such revocation of orders or
modification of the law as will accomplish
its manifest purpose.
Faithfully welded TO the principle of
protection, we demand for the wool grow
ers of Ohio such ample protection for wool
as shall speedily increase American focks
sufficiently to supply all American needs.
We indorse the wise, faithful and Salts
factory administration of Gov. Bushnell
and congratulate the people of this State
upon the financial condition of the com
monwealth.
The mention of Senator Hanna's name
was greeted with loud demonstrations,
and after the resolutions were adopted

M'KINLEY CONGRATULATES QUEEN VICTORIA


ter was established in the public heart
and his death was deeply mourned in the
court and in the nation.
Up to the year 1861 the life of Queen
Victoria had been one of unbroken, tran
quill happiness Her mother, to whom
she was deeply attached, was spared to
enjoy n peaceful old age. Her husband
was to her ak that a devoted and loving
companion could be, and their nine chill
dren We're growing up, healthy, happy and
dutiful. All that the world could grant
of wealth and honor. were hers, and her
eldest daughter had been happily married
to the heir of one of the most powerful
kingdoms of Europe, Frederick of Prus-
sia. a prince whose amiable virtues and
intelligence added luster TO his brilliant
rank. In May, 1861, the queen lost her
mother, and in December came a far
greater blow in the death of the Prince
COnsort. The queen met her bereavement
with that vehemence of grief so often
manifested by those who have n life of
unrutfled happiness suddenly interrupted
by n great sorrow. Her loss so preyed up
on her mind that for a number of years
she lived in absolute retirement, avoiding
as far as possible all public and social
duties, indulging her melancholy to the
fullest extent. This spectacle of incon-
solable grief amid the gorgeous surround
ings of royalty produced n great effect
upon the English people, and gave the
queen hold upon their affections which
nothing else, perhaps, could have done
and which remains to-day unchanged and
unbroken.

Ill. and her mother was Victoria Mary
Louisa. daughter of Francis, Duke of
Sake Coburg- -Saalfeld. and a sister of the
late King Leopold of Belgium.
Before the present queen-empress had
completed her first year her father died,
leaving the care and training of the young
princess to the Duchess of Kent, and so
far as the adage. "How the twig is bent,
the trees inclined" is true, the training
given the Princess Victoria must have
been both good and WISE She was edu-
Gated under her mothers watchful eyes
and was grounded not alone in intellec-
tual pursuits but on moral and religious
principles.
On attaining her eighteenth year a
grand ball was given in her honor at
Buckingham Palace and for the first time.
having reached her majority, she took
rank of her mother. Within n month her
uncle, King William ", died and as he
left no issue, the crown devolved upon
Victoria.
The following day, June 81, 1896. she
was publicly proclaimed queen, but il was
not until June 2S of the following year
that she was crowned at Westminster.
From the beginning she endeared her
self to her people. She bore her dig
mites gracefully and manifested Il sound
judgment in dealing with affairs of state.

tried to outdo the Hanna men in the noise
and effusireness of their greeting.
Chairman Grouse called the convention
to order and made a short speech. in
which he took occasion to congratulate
the delegates that they had Repubi-
can President, two Republican Senators
and Republican officers all the way down
from these high positions to constables.
After the prayer four young women dress
ed in white sang a couple of songs. in
which they predicted the election and an
honorable and long senatorial career for
Mr.. Hanna. This caught his portion of
the delegates. and they let loose lot
more of Hanna enthusiasm.
Then came Congressman Grosvenor's
speech. Mr.. Grosvenor took occasion to
mention the two United States Senator's
from Ohio. First. he said some kind
things about Senator Foraker, and the
remarks were duly approved by the ad-
mirers of that gentleman who were in the

insists upon the observance of every min
ute detail of ceremony, and the conse-
quence is that every one who comes into
contact with her has to be thoroughly
drilled in the observance of forms" AS
to her personal appearance the queen has
herself said that she is rather small for
queen" for she is but feet 10 inches
in height But, despite that, she is, ON
occasions, woman of extraordinary dig
nifty.
Attempts Upon Her Life.
Although the queen, from the time of
her succession to the throne, has enjoyed
to the fullest extent the respect and af-
fection of her subjects, no less than FIVE
attempts, all, fortunately, unsuccessful,
have been made to assassinate her-the
first in June, 1910, by a crazy lad named
Oxford; another in May, 1912. by John
Francis, who was sentenced to be hang
ed for the offense, but the sentence was
commuted to transportation for life. The
third was in July of the same year by one
j. w. Bean, whose only punishment was
eighteen months in prison: the fourth in
1S49 by William Hamilton, an Irishman,
who was transported for seven years; the
fifth in April. 1882, by Roderick Mclean
a Scotchman, who was ordered to be con-
fined during her majesty's pleasure, and
is. we believe. still in prison.
The queen Is very wealthy in fact, the
wealthiest woman in all the world. Dur.
ing the sixty years that she has been on
the throne she has been able to save from
her civil list and the revenues of the
Duchy of Lancaster sums, which. with in
terest added, now amount to close upon
500, 900, 900. She inherited from her hus-
band property which is now valued at
$50 100000. and from time to time SUBJ
jects die who leave her all or nearly all
their property. 1t is estimated that her
fortune to-day amounts to $150,000,00O.
The Queens Family.
OF the queens nine children seven sur
vive. These are Victoria, Dowager Em-
press of Germany and mother of Kaiser
William IL; Albert Edward. Prince of
Wales; Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg;
Helena, Princess Christian of Schleswig.
Holstein: Louise, Marchioness of Lorne;
Arthur, Duke Of Connaught and Beatrice,
whose husband, Prince Henry of Batten7
berg, died of fever during the Ashantee
war, in 1896. The Princess Alice, Duch-
ess of Hesse- Darmstadt, died in 1878, and
the Duke of Albany in 1884.
A list of her grandchildren and great
grandchildren would fill half column.
BY marriage into the great reigning fam
lilies her descendants will sit upon many
of the leading thrones in Europe. Her
grandson, Emperor William of Germany.
is the most powerful monarch on the CON
tinent, with the possible exception of the
Czar, and the latter is married to her
granddaughter. Princess Alix Of Hesse.
Another granddaughter is Crown Princess
of Roumania, her son Alfred Is ruler of

Wheat Is Doing Well.
The weeks crop bulletin, based on the
reports of the directors of the several eli
mate and crop sections, is as follows:
Except over the central Rocky Noun
tain region and California. where it was
unseasonably cool. the week has been gem
orally favorable for the growth and culti-
vation of crops. Corn has made vigorous
growth In the principal corn States dur
ing the week. In the Dakotas, however,
the crop continues backward with uneven
stands. Cotton has made good growth
during the week. Southward Of the north
ern boundary of Tennessee the bulk of the
winter wheat crop has been harvested,
and some thrashing has been done in
Texas. Harvesting in Kansas is nearly
completed and will begin this week in In
diana. Ohio. West Virginia and Maryland.
In Washington recent rains have practi-
cally assured winter wheat in that State.
In California harvesting continues with
light yield and grain Of indifferent quality.
Spring wheat Is doing well generally and
has made rapid growth in North Dakota.
In South Dakota, however. while the out
look for early sown is good, the late sown
is less promising.

not of state policy and happy and model
union it proved. The English people did
not take kindly TO II at first. Although
Prince Albert was n man of rare mental
gifts as well as personal attractions. he
failed in the beginning to impress his
worth upon the subjects of his queen.
They disiked him because he was not an
Englishman. In Parliament the wise
heads wrangled over the question of his
naturalization. quarreled over his allow
ance. his place next TO the queen, and
over the bill to constitute him regent in
case of the queens death. They would
not give him the title of Prince Consort
