Ringing Resolutions-Hanna Accepts
the Challenge.

Toledo, Ohio, June 23.-With the con-
test for the chairmanship settled 80 decis-
lively yesterday in favor of Major Charles
". Dick and the entire Hanna slate, the
Republican state convention proceeded
promptly at 10 a. m. with the usual bust
ness.
The report of the credentials commit
tee was adopted without opposition and
it made no material difference in the real
work of the convention, which was over
whelmingly with Hanna. The temporary
organization, with General Grosvenor in
reports of other committees were disposed
of promptly.
Chairman Kurtz did not attend the con-
vention either yesterday or today and left
at noon for Columbus. During the day
there we're conferences between Senator
Hanna and Governor Bushnell, and the
question of new man for the state chair
manship was still agitated.
The platform declares: "The Repub-
Flicans of Ohio rejoice in the mag 9nifioent
victory of last year whereof the people of
the United States 80 overwhelmingly de-
clared in favor of an honest dollar and a
chance to earn it, and elected as president
that splendid son of Ohio, William Nc
Kinley. The platform upon which that
victory was won declares for the prin
oiples and policies of the Republican
party. To all the declarations of that
platform we pledge anew our allegiance
and unqualifedly commend the president
and congress for their wise and statesman
like execution of it's pledges.
"We denounce the violation of the spirit
of the civil service act by President Oleve
land in those orders which extended its
operation beyond it's purpose and intent,
and demand such revocation of those
orders or the modification of the law as
will accom- plish it's manifest purpose.
Faithfully welded to the principle of
protection, we demand for the wool
growers of Ohio such ample protection
for wool as shall speedily increase the
American focks sufficiently to supply all
American needs"
The platform expresses sympathy for
Cuba and commends the annexation of
Hawaii. 1t indorses the candidacy of
Marcus A. Hanna for the United States
senate to succeed himself, and pledges a
hearty support to the party in the next
general assembly to his election to both
the short and long term. After these
resolutions were adopted Senator Hanna
was called for. Senator Hanna said the
Republicans had been warned that this
was dangerous year. He Joined in &C.
oepting the challenge. The Republicans
of Ohio always fight best when there is
danger ahead. The senator paid the
highest tribute to President McKinley's
efforts to bring about prosperity and the
best possible conditions of the country.
The president had many difficulties to
overcome, but would meet the predic-
tions of his friends and hopes of every
body in due course of time.
