COLUMBUS. O., Feb. 1.-THE annual meeting Of
the Ohio League of Republican Clubs was held
here to-day. and the proceedings throughout
were characterized by much bitterness. The
first occasion for any display of hostilities was
when Senator Sullivan, the retiring Presi.

tense Hanna partisan. had concluded his
address without mentioning Foraker's name
after paying a tribute to President Mckinley.
Gov. Bushnell. and other Ohio Republicans.
The friends of Senator Foraker could take no
other view than that the slight was intentional,
and many delegates were on their feet to de-
nounce this attempt to stir up fractional diff
ferenccs. when a motion was put and carried to
proceed to the regular order.
There was another warm discussion when q
set Of resolutions were reported by Chairman
Charles I. Griffin. a strong Foraker man, in
dOrsing the Mason Cuban resolution and de-
manding the independence of the Cubans; ap-
proving of the administration of Gov. Bushnell.
