Ohio Republicans.
HE RAN THE CONVENTION
The Party Machinery VIII b IN His
Hands for the Next Ysar-Resolu-
ions Unoomplimsntary to
the Governor.

Columbus. June 22.-The republican
state convention here to-day was .
record breaker Its session lasted less
was devoted to ~unseating a small mi
nority Of dissenters. After the contests
were disposed of everything was mani
nous and by reclamation. Fiv nomi-
nations were made within IL minutes,
including the presentation and Sec
onding speeches. The delegated, after
the convention perfected its permanent
organization, were all Hanna men.
Their was some doubt expressed ~ to
two of the members of the state central
committee-Brown Of Toledo and
Craighead of Dayton-but they were
not long in announcing themselves as
in accord with the majority. 30 that
the party machinery Is entirely In the
hands of the friends Of Senator n
sway there were some who wanted to
remove Charles L. Kurtz as the Ohio
member Of the republican national
committee, but Senator Hanna's clos
est friends prevented even considera-
ton of such action. Governor Bushnell
was not in the convention hall to-day,
and none of his appointees were pres
ent to hear the reading of the last reso-
luton in the platform, which il gen
orally accepted as uncomplimentary to
the governor and the dissenting repub-
licans In the legislature.
The republican state convention recon-
vened at 9 a. m. to-day. when the tempo
rary organization Of yesterday was made
permanent. Owing to the all night session
OF the committee on credentials on the
McKisson and other contests the other
committees could not be completed un-
til to-day, but their complexion was not
changed. The national administration
men had everything their own way
without opposition.
The subcommittee on resolutions was
kept up during the night. because of
differences on the resolutions regarding
the state administration and legislature.
Some wanted the governor and bofting
republicans in the legislature condemn
ed for not abiding by the resolution
adopted at the state convention at To-
eldo last June. endorsing NJ. A. Hanna
for senator, and they were especially
anxious for a strong denunciation OF the
several republicans In the legislature
who did not abide by the caucus nomi-
nation for senator, but the eub-commit-
tee reported more conciliatory resolu-
tons to the full committee at s q. m. to-
day and the report was thus agreed to.
The following nominations were made
by reclamation: Secretary Of state.
Charles Kinney: supreme Judge, w. H.
Spear: clerk of supreme court. Josiah
r. Allen; food and dairy commissioner,
Joseph H. Blackburn; member Of the
board of public works. w. G. Johnson.
AS soon as the majority report on ere
dentials was adopted. the McKisson men
and Others unseated were provided with
| seats and the proceedings were so ex-
| peditiously dispatched that the owen
ton at IL a. m. adjourned sine die. The
new state central committee was organ
