Of Republicans Favor Building Mic
arauga Canal.

arauga Canal.
Columbus, O., June 22.-The Republican
state convention here today was a recor(
breaker. Its session lasted less than TIVE
hours, and most of that time was devoted
to unseating a small minority of dissent
ers. After the contests were disposed Of
everything was unanimous and by acc!a
nation Five nominations were made
! within twelve minutes, including the
presentation and the second speeches. The
delegates, after the convention perfected
| its permanent organization, were al
Hanna men. There was some doubt ex-
pressed as to two of the twenty-One mem
bers Of the state central committee
Brown of Tiledo and Craighead of Day
ton, but they were not long in announc-
ing themselves as in accord with the ma
jority, so that the party machinery is en-
tirely in the hands of the friends of Sen
ator Hanna fir the next year. While in
such full sway, there were some who
wanted to remove Charles L. Kurtz as
the Ohio member of the national Repub-
lican committee, but Senator Hanna S
closest friends prevented even considera-
ton of such action. Govrnor Bushnell
was not in the convention hall today and
none of his appointees were present to
hear the reading of the last resolution in
the platform which is generally regarded
as uncomplimentary ii the governor and
the dissenting Republicans in the last
legislature.
Columbus. Ohio, June 22.-The Republi-
can state convention reconvened at 9 a.
m. today when the temporary organiza-
ton of yesterday was made permanent.
Prayer was offered by Or. ]. c. Watt.
Owing to the aH-nght session of the COM
mittee on credentials on the McKisson
and other contests, the other committees
could not be completed till today but their
complexion was not changed. There was
scarcely any fractional minority in the con-
vention as it was orgapized What are
known as the national administration men
as distinguished from the state admins
tration men had everything their way
without opposition. The nominations were
made by reclamation and the rules were
APPLY adopted for nominations by aclarna-
ton when only one name was substituted
The subcommittee on resolutions was
kept up during the night because of diff
ferences on the resolutions regarding the
state administration and legislature. Some
wanted the governor and boiling Republi-
cans in the legislature condemned for not
abiding by the resolution adopted at the
state convention at Toledo last June en-
dorsing NJ. A. Hanna for senator. and
they were especially anxious for a strong
denunciation Of the disloyalty of the seven
Republicans in the legislature VINO did
not abide by the party caucus nomination
for senator. but the subcommittee re-
ported more conciiatory resolutions to the
full convention at a. m. today and the
report was thus agreed to.

committee on resolutions. reported the fol-
lowing, which was adopted:
