Hanna Chooses Chairman of State Committee
and Bushnell the Vice Chairman--All Make
Up Apparently, and Hanna Blooms
Out as an Orator.

Toledo, Ohio, June 23.-The Republi-
can State convention completed its work
to-day in a session of less than four hours.
While there had been a hard fight for
two days for the control of the State
central committee, there was every APP
pearance of harmony and enthusiasm to-
day. The two contested districts were
decided in favor of the Dick candidates
and this showed that the State commit
tee stood II for Dick and for Kurtz.
Senator Hanna was not only congratu-
lated on the result, but all the delegates
were seeking admittance to his apart
ments for conferences. Governor Bush
nell not only accepted the situation COM
placently before the convention assembled
by having friendly consultations with
Senator Hanna, but he also made a
strong speech of acceptance in the con-
vention. When Governor Bushnell de-
clared: I'm spite of the statements of the
Democratic press, | accept" there was
a loud demonstration. In the OrganiZa-
ton of the State central committee in
the afternoon, Governor Bushnell named
the vice-chairman, while Senator Hanna
selected the chairman and the secretary.
Senator Hanna returned to Cleveland
this afternoon and will soon be back in
Washington. Governor Bushnell remains
here till tomorrow. The two leaders had
friendly meeting before separating, and
it is understood that they have reached
an agreement on the organization of the
State executive committee. The feature
h. - al, -
Senator Hanna. Governor Bushnell,
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Jones, General
Grosvenor and others who spoke had
been frequently heard but Senator Hanna
was not known before in his own State
as an orator. although he had for years
been recognized as aleader in the man
agement and organization. His delivery
was eloquent and forcible and he cap
tured the convention by his commanding
oratory. He was enthusiastically cheered
and congratulated on his effort to-day
more than on his triumph of yesterday.
The ticket. as nominated, is ar follows:
Governor-Asa w. Bushnell.
Lieutenant- GoyernOr-A. w. Jones.
Supreme Judge-Jacob f. Burkett.
Attorney General-Frank Monnett.
State Treasurer-Samuel Campbell.
The platform reaffirming the principles
in the national PLATFORM endorses the ad-
ministration, sympathizes with Cuba and

Clevelands order extending the Civil
Service act beyond its purport and in
tent is denounced reforms inaugurated
in the pension bureau are commended n

Desiring to continue such representa-
ton and approaching his services to the
party and to the people of the State and
nation, and his eminent and proven fit

candidacy OF the Hon. Marcus A Hanna
for United States Senator to succeed
himself and pledge the support of the
