Among the features of Thursda,

We're bitter and defiant, and those a
| the convention that We're all for har
mony. The leaders, who joined the
chorus at the auditorium from to {

the night, however, in contests and con
ferences that were not very harmonious
While the forces of Cox, Daugherty
| and Kurtz combined against Nash al
| the Hanna candidate in all the prelimi
| nary work vet this combine can not ap
parently get together on any one man
for governor. Cox wants dark horse
| and is grooming Shattuc till he names
his favorite. Foraker wants Jones.
Kurtz doesn want Jones or Daugherty
if he can get someone he likes better.
Meantime, Daugherty insists that he
has more votes than Jones. Cox and
Kurt can command, that they should
come to him if they want to defeat Nash
and thereby indirectly defeat Hanna. Ii
is i'll this complication that Nevin is
likely to be brought out.
The new state committee elected Wv
ian J. c. Fagin chairman and P. W.
Durr secretary and will meet here June
Il for permanent organization.
Hon. Cyrus Huling, as chairman of
the state central committee, called the
convention TO order Thursday after
noon. There were demonstrations as
Senators Hanna and Foraker entered
the hall, and the Glee club commanded
such at tention as to secure order. Rev.
5. s. Palmer offered prayer, after which
Chairman Huling in part said:
The Republicans of Ohio are deeply
in earnest this year. They feel that
the prosperity of the country, the ex-
pansion of our commerce and the honor
of the flag they love depend upon the
endorsement of Mr.. Mckinley this year
by the triumphant election of the can
didates nominated at this convention
and his denomination and reelection
next year 10 the high place he now
holds"
He then plead for harmony.
Mr. Huling announced that the state
committee had selected the following
temper ry organization: Chairman,
Hon w ). Kerr of Mansfield; secre-
tary, Hon. Z. l.. Lampson of Ashtabula;
sergcant-at-arms, Frederick Bader of
Cincinnati.
On being introduced Congressman
Kerr was heartily cheered.
The delegates took up his keynote for
harmony, and proceeded to call on GER
tain leaders for speeches. All responded
except General Grosvenor, who had left
the hall, and Ex-Governor Foster was
called out i'll his place.
Senator Foraker said there were very
many things for Ohio Republicans to
talk about Just now, and-to think about
and TO act on wisely, and he commended
the speech of Mr.. Kerr as the true key
note tor them. He joined in the plea
for peace. The great duty of Ohio Re-
publicans was to get together. United,
they We're invincible, and divided, they
were beaten i'll advance. They needed
not OILY good platform, but also
st:lndardbearer who was the very
str, ngest man, no matter what was his
naI or his past affiliations in the
p:rty. There has not been in the pres
eGt generation such an important cleo
ton i'll Ohio none ever more easy for
Republicans to carry, and yet never one
they could more easily lose. Ohio is the
home of Mckinley and should head the
column for next year.
Senator Hanna made most vigorous
appeal for harmony. He referred to
the speeches of Huling, Kerr and Fora
ker that had been made for harmony,
and urged that it would be necessary
for all to work together if the Republi-
cans won in Ohio this year. He said
no man was as great as his party, al
though the Democratic papers were
10 of
Republicans being greater than their
party. He said:
1.-The Democratic papers cannot run
business better than they. We have
been i'll politics as long as they. Our
experience is better. onr motives pnrer,
our aims higher.
Senator Hanna said they would like
one another better the longer they
looked into each others faces, and
that they would find out tomorrow (Fri-
day. that there were no differences in
thr narky. He urged such harmony and
such organization as would give them
the confidence of the president, with an
army and navy to back up his policies.
Like all the preceding speakers, he eQlo-
gized President Mckinley and pleaded
for success this year and his interest
next year.
Governor Bushnell created quite an
amusing stir in following Senator
Hanna, and saying:
There appears to be every evidence
of harmony here. That's what we
need; that's what we all want" He
continued on the KEYNOTE for peace and
harmony, us did also Ex-Governor
Charles Foster, who followed him i'll a
speech urging the factions to get to.
