pubsicans.

Columbus, o.. June H--The friends Of
Mark A. Hanna find themselves in com
plete control of the Republican State
convention debating the policy of Ohio
through the aid of at least 75O delegates
out of $50 who compose the convention.
Charles l.. KurtZ, the willy leader of the
opposition to Hanna. is not in the State
and the friends who rallied about him
during his fight last winter are absent
Up4to the present time but single in
cident has arisen to give the convention
any life whatever and this was the arri-
val this morning of the Cleveland dele
cation headed by Hon. D. e. McKisson,
candidate for senator against Hanna last
winter. The delegation numbered less
than 500 Its leaders this afternoon ex-
tion viii get seats.
The Cleveland delegation had no tickets
when the convention met this afternoon
and the police refused to allow them to
enter until word came from headquarters
TO allow the delegation TO have the privi-
lege of the floor.
About the only concession the majority
was willing 10 make cropped out this ev-
ening when the leaders decided that no

commend these Republicans who were
loyal TO Hanna and the caucus last Win
ter.
As far as Gov. Bushnell is concerned, a
compromise was agreed upon as a rec
/ ognitlon of the peace element wherein
| the State administration was TO be an

nell personally.
Gov. Bushnell this afternoon took a
decided stand in favor of the minority.
| He declared that the McKisson delega-
ton were the loyal Republicans of Guy

! The convention met at O'Clock, with
! Congressman Grosvenor as temporary
/ chairman. Mr.. Grosvenor delivered a
1 powerful speech, in which the admins
tration of President Mckinley was held
| up in a favorable light with that Of the
| one that preceded him. The difference in
the credit of the country and the balance
I of trade were referred to- He severely
castgated the Democrats in Congress
] who were not giving the Administration
their support in the war and explained
the difficulties which confronted the Ad-

the lack of its preparation in munitions
! of war and the unreasonable condition of
the enlisted soldiers. He declared that

F4e ridiculed the idea that American civil
ization w1ui be endangered by the unciv-
ilized element in those Islands.
/ A telegram from Senator Hanna was
read TO the convention by Chairman
Daugherty. of the central committee in
which he took a fall out of his enemies
by proposing as a Republican keynote,
loyalty TO party organization.
Mr.. Daughertys speech, introducing
the temporary chairman. was devoted to
a eulogy of MIR. Hanna and a congratu-
lation of the party on the success it had
achieved over the formidable combina-
tions against it.
1t is generally understood that the
salient features Of the platform are that
both the national and State administra-
tions will be complimented; the war
policy of the President will be strongly
approved and a reference made to an
nexation of the Philippines, in which the
latter are to be disposed OF after the new
territory has been acquired and the war is
over.
Hon. Charles Kinney is to renominated

preme Court Allen will be given a third
term. All the others will be sent through
