test for the craftsmanship settled de-
kIisively in favor of Major Charles F.
~ Dick and the entire Hanna slate,
the Republican state convention pro-
ceeded at 10 a. m. with the usual busi-
ness. The report of the committee on
credentials was adopted without div,s-
ion, as it made no material difference in
the control of the convention, which
was overwhelmingly with Senator Han
na. The temporary organization, with
General G. H. Grosvenor in the chair,
was made the permanent organization,
and the reports Of other committees
were readily disposed of. There was
more than the usual interest taken III
the resolutions, and the committee was
i'll session ali night trying to frame the
platform 50 as to prevent contest in
the convention on civil service, Cuba
and other resolutions.

tons and after the resolutions We're

preston of confidence, and pledged HIM
self to cooperate with the standard
bearer (BushnelD for Republican sue
cess in Ohio.
Senator Hanna said the Republicans
had been warned that this was dam
gerous year. He rejoiced i'll accepting
the challenge. The Republicans Of
Ohio always fight best when there is
danger ahead. The opposition propose to
stir up the once threshed straw. They
will revive free silver in Ohio, but never
again free wool. He discussed the tariff
bill at>length and paid high tribute to
General Grosvenor for his work in the
house of representatives for protection.
Senator Hanna said he was now trying
in the senate to keep up with General
Grosvenor' pace in the house. The
senator paid the highest tribute to Pres

prosperity, and best possible conditions
for the country. The president had
many difficulties to overcome, but he
would meet the predictions of his friends
and the hope Of everybody.
