The Platform strongly Endorses the
Administration of President McKin-

Columbus, o., June 3.-The Republic
can state convention yesterday nomi-
mated Judge George X. Nash, the favor
ite of Senator Hanna, for governor.
and ex-Congressman John A. Caldwell,
the favorite of George b. Cox, for lieu-
tenant governor, with the other five
nominations distributed among those
Of less distinct party affiliations.
What was generally called the Han
na-Cox combination controlled a large
majority of the S13 delegates, but 1t did
not exercise it's power beyond the nom
nations Of Nash and Caldwell. The
conference at which Senator Hanna, Mr..
Cox and others reached a mutually
satisfactory understanding did not con-
clude until a. m, an hour before the
convention assembled. II was all over
| then with Mr. Daugherty and other
| candidates.
Guilbert and Huffman were nomi-
| mated for second terms without opposi-
! ton When some of the delegates
raised the cry of "slate" George b. Cox
| himself was the first to break the slate
| by changing the sc votes of Hamilton
county, which he had cast on the first
! and second ballots for Judge Hull for
| attorney general, TO James NJ. Sheets
| Judge Hull had been generally consid'
cred as a sure winner, as he had been
slated In this case the antitrust as
well as the anti-slate element cut quite
a figure Judge Hull had been a candi-
date for governor, and when he with
drew after the first ballot il was gener-
ally known among the delegates whai
his withdrawal meant, and especially
when his support went to Nash on the
second ballot. In addition to the at
tempt of the field to combine against
"the slate" there was opposition to the
plan of any one being a candidate fol
two places on the ticket, and Judge
Hull was again defeated after a very
hard fight, which occupied more tint
than any other business In the si1
hours that the convention was in ses
sion.
The only other place in which tht
slate was broken was in the nomina
tion for supreme Judge. The incum
bent, Judge Bradbury, was a candidate

urer Campbell and Attorney Genera
Monnett were all candidates for tn
nomination for third terms and al
were defeated, but Judge Bradbury wa
the only one of this trio of "thir
termers" who was on "the slate"
Isaac B. Cameron, the successful con

orally credited with being on 9Th
slate" and he secured the Hanna-Co
vote.
Outside of the unusually animate
contests for the nominations, the fea
ture of the convention was its ynivel
sal endorsement of President McKiI
ley. When the plank in the platforI

dicious notifications OF the civil SCI

In presenting the name of NJ
