Steps Against Hanna
I'm the Senate-The Contest In the Con-
yentiOn Between Bowling and Myers
Which Promised 10 be Bitter Flsht
was Declared Draw I'm the Interest
of Harmony.

mated the following ticket: Secre-
tary of State, Upton K. Guthrie, OF
Marion; Judge OF Supreme Court,
Hugh G. Nichols, of Clermont;
clerk of Supreme court, David S.
Fisher, of Delaware; food and dairy
commissioner, John Baker of Han
cock; member of the board of public
works, T. Dwight Paul, of Summit
county.
The convention adjourned at 5 P.
m, after being in continuous session
all day. There were no incidents
of special interest after the contest
between Joseph P. Bowling and
Allen O. Myers had been declared
a draw in the interest of the har-
mony.
The effort to get new plan of
party organization in Ohio failed
of final adoption, but it was given
another chance by such reference
as will bring it up next year. The
new organization seems to satisfy
those working for the nomination
of Paul J Sorg for governor next
year and not displeasing to the
Mclean, Brice or other elements,
and the campaign this year will be
made on the Hanna issue and next
year on Senator Foraker for not
taking steps against Hanna. While
the resolutionsudo not favor uulim-
tied colonial expansion the chair
man of the convention said the
platform meant to expand by the
consent of those to be governed.
The most decisive feature of the
convention was its preference for
Bryan in 1900 on the same plat
form as in 1896.
The resolutions adopted, reaf'
firm the Chicago platform and says
I'VE particularly endorse the hnan
cial plank therein declaring tor the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer and gold at the ratio of I6 to I
independent of any and all other
nations"
We are proud of the patriotic
conduct in peace and III war o. that
brave leader of Democracy William
]. Bryan aud we favor his renonin-
alton for President in 1900"
The platform tavors an income
tax and thanks the minority in
thanks the minority in Congress
for seeking to secure "a just dis
tribution of the war taxation equal
ly upon wealth and corporations Of
the country as we'll as upon its la
bor."
I'VE recognize the eternal truth
that life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness is the natural and in
alienable heritage of all mankind,
and since the hand of despotism
has been lifted from the island of
Cuba, dominated by Spain, we
should afford its inhabitants an un-
trammeled opportunity to establish
free and independent constitu-
tional government, deriving its
powers from the consent of the gov
erned and we remind the country
that Congress in the resolutions
which declared war, resolved, THAT
the United States hereby disclaims
any disposition or intention to ex-
ercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over said island except for
the pacifcation thereof and asserts
its determination when that is &C
complished, to leave the govern
ment and control of the island to
its people" and we believe that un-
til the people of the islands of Cuba
and the Philippines redeemed from
Spanish domination, declare other
wise, We should keep the faith upon
which the war was begun and pros
ecuted."
The resolutions favor the build
ing of the Nicaragua canal, enlarg-
ing the militia of all the states, and
reducing the standing army, and
oppose alliance with England or
any other foreign power, and de-
mand that the United States senate
take action upon the findings of the
Ohio senate on the election of Mar
Gus A. Hanna as senator.
