COLUMBUS, D., June 22.-The Repub.
hcan state convention reconvened at g
a. M. today, when the temporary organ.
1zation OF yesterday was made perna.
nent. Prayer was offered by DR.. J. C.
Watt. Owing to the all night session
OF the committee on credentials on the
Mcklsson and other contests, the othe1
committees could not be completed till
: today, but their complexion was not
changed. There was scarcely any fac.
tlonal minority in the convention as it
was organized. What are known as the
national administration men, as distin-
gulshed from the state administration
men, had everything their way with.
out opposition. The nominations were
made by acclamation when only one
name was presented. The subcommit-
tee on resolutions was kept up during
the night because of differences on the
resolutions regarding the state admins.
tration and the legislature. Some
wanted the governor and the boiling
Republicans in the legislature con-
demned for not abiding by the resolu-
hon adopted at the state convention at
Toledo last June endorsing M. A. Hanna
Tor senator, and they were especially
anxious for strong denunciation of dis.
loyalty OF the seven Republicans in tht
legislature who did not abide by the
party caucus nomination for senator.
but the subcommittee submitted more
| conclhatory resolutions to the full COM
mttee at 8 a. m. today and the report
was thus agreed to.

the committee on resolutions, reported
the platform, which was adopted. In
