In pursuance to tho agreement made yester-

believed, neither Kurtz nor Dick will be elected.
Harry NJ. Daugherty was elected Chairman Of
the State Central Committee.
The platform was first adopted In tho proceed
ings. It said:
THE Republicans Of Ohio rejoice in the magni-
hcent victory of last year, whereby the people Of
the United States overwhelmingly decided In
favor Of an honest dollar and q chance to earn 1t
and elected as President that splendid son Of
Ohio. William Mckinley. The platform upon
which that victory was won declares the true
principles and policy Of tho Republican party.
To all tho declarations Of that platform wo
pledge anew our allegiance. and unqualiHedly
commend the President and Congress for their
wise and statesmanlike execution OF its pledges.

Gov. Bushnells admipistration was then com.
mended. and then the platform had this to say
about Senators Foraker and Hanna:~-
Tho success OF the Republican party will
insure the advantages of better, schools. better
roads and all those progressive ideas which keep
Ohio at the head of the sisterhood of States.
THE thanks OF the people of this State are
due to Senators Foraker and Hanna for their
splendid efforts during the present session of
their representation in the United States Senate.

self. and pledge the support. of the party In the
next General Assembly TO his election to both
the short and long terms"
In responding 10 the calls OF the convention
Mr.. Hanna stepped forward. and In five minutes
made himself u reputation as a speaker. He de.
clared that the Republicans were willing to meet
the Democratic warning that there was trouble
ahead for the party. and when they had any.
thing to do they always went about doing it In
the right way. He declared that while the
Democrsts were going to talk about the late

After promising that no would do all that he
could to elect Gov. Bushnell, Mr.. Hanna paid a
tribute to his friend. the President. In closing. Mr.
Hanna said that the secret OF party success was
unity OF purpose. devotion to party, and. laSl
but not least, organization"
This remark threw the convention In an up
roar. and seemed to please the junior Senator
very much. After the speeches Of acceptance by
Bushnell and Hanna the work OF the convention
was merely perfunctory. With the exceptions
OF Messrs. Bonebrake and Goddard the nomina
tions were made by acclamation.
