Columbus Ohio, June 2.-The Republican con-
yention OF 1899. the largest ever held in this
State. has passed into history and ohio stands
loyalty by the National policy OF the party that
shapes the destlnies Of the Nation. The hearty
Endorsement OF the Presidents policy was spon-
taneous and entirely unsolicited 1t the
unanimous work OF the party in Ohio the home
of the Chief Executive.
AS indicated last night the leaders succeeded
in practically wiping out factional lines. and
when an agreement was reached it took little
time to centre the forces on Judge George X
Nash the candidate for Governor. The com
binatior effected between Daugherty and Cox
for the control OF the organization stopped at
this point and the effort OF the several factions
to extend this to the nomination OF candidates
proved unavailing. Cox. with the backing OF
Hamilton and Clermont counties. amounting
to nearly one hundred votes. positively declined
to stand with the Kurtz and Daugherty factions.
and went TO the assistance Of the candidate sup
ported by Senator Hanna
Senator Foraker was not favorable, either. to
the nomination Of Daugherty. who developed re-
markable strength considering the opposition Of
the powerful leaders. The young candidate was,
however, unable to rally enough votes TO stand
against the combined opposition. and accepted
the result gracefully. promising hearty support
to the ticket
In the agreement that finally resulted in bring
ing the contending factions together it neces-
sarily provided for the different places on the
ticket. and included the nomination for Lieu
tenant Governor of John A. Caldwell, former
Congressman from the Id District who re-
tired from the House to accept the Mayoralty
Of "a ,r,,~,,a
OF the contest as Mr. Caldwell had been looked
upon as a promising possibility for Governor in
the event of prolonged balloting. He was put in
the second place at the request Of the Cox in
fuence.
Linn W. Hull. Of Erie County, after making
an active canvass for the nomination for Gov
ernor was decided on for the position Of Attor-
ney-General but the delegates did not take
kindly to this part of the agreement Of the lead
ers, and refused to ratfy the work Mr.. Hull
was defeated by John NJ Sheets. Chief Justice
Bradbury OF the Supreme Court also failed to
secure denomination for a third term the
bench With these two exceptions there were
practically no contests. after an amcable agree
ment had been reached in advance Of the con-
vention the two leading places. The ex-
pected contests over the report of the Creden-
tials Committee did not occur. and the proceed
ings throughout were harmonious.
Judge Nash. the nominee Of the convention for
Governor. has been active in his efforts TO ad-
vance the interests Of the party for many years,
having served for four years az chairman Of the
State Executive Committee and few men have
a more extensive acquaintance all over Ohio
The proceedings proper Of the convention were
brief and, owing to the fact that the prelimi-
nary contest had been protracted, there was
no disposition TO waste time in oratory. The
platform adopted without debate. and the
nomination Of the several candidates quickly
made, several ballots. however. being required
to make a selection for Attorney-General, be-
cause Of the large number Of candidates, repre-
senting almost every section Of the State. The
