that when this convention adjourns it shall
be the firm resolution of every republican
here and throughout Ohio to triumphantly
elect this ticket here nominated"
McKinIey's Name Cheered
Mr.. Huling was cheered at every mention
of the name of Mckinley. The convention
started in a vain of cheering during this
speech and kept it up during the entire ses-
son. Mr.. Huling announced that the state
committee has selected the temporary or
ganization:
w. S. Kerr, Mansfield, chairman.
e. L. Lampson, Ashtabula, secretary.
Fred. Bader Cincinnati sergeant-at-
arms.
On being introduced Congressman Kerr
was heartily cheered
There were demonstrations whenever tho
name of Mckinley was mentioned. The
feature of the convention was the love
feast that was not down on the program.
Mr.. Kerr closed by saying:
Let US strike hands and follow the lead
OF Mckinley and Foraker and Hanna and
Grosvenor and Bushnell and the rest, let
US go forth from this convention united and
TO victory"
The delegates took up this keynote and
proceeded to call on these leaders for
speeches, all responding, except General
Grosvenor. who had left tho hall and ex-
Governor Foster was called out in his place
Foster said there were very many things
for republicans to talk about just now, and
TO think about, and to act on wisely, and
he commended the speech of Kerr as the
true keynote for them. He joined in the
plea for peace.
''They needed not only good platform,
but standard bearer who was the very
strongest man, no matter what was his
name or his present affiliations in the party.
There has not been in the
tion such an important election in 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 hold the common in line for the
next year."
Hanna was the next one called out
He made a most vigorous appeal for
harmony. He referred to the speech of
Hung, Kerr and Foraker that had been
made for peace and harmony and urged
tEat it would be necessary for all to work
together If the republicans won in Ohio
this year. He said no man was as great
as his party, although the democratic pa
pers were now trying to make out a case
of some republicans being greater than
their party.
He said the democratic papers cannot
run this country. We know our own bust
ness better than they. We have been in
politics as long as they. Our experience
is better our motives purer, our aims
higher
Hanna EuIogized President
Senator Hanna said they would be
stronger and better the longer they look
ed in each others faces, and they would
find out that there are no differences in
the party. He urged such harmony and
such organization as would give them the
confidence of the president with an army
and a navy to Back up his policies. Like
all the preceding speakers he eulogized Nc
Kinley and plead for success this year and
his interest next year.
Governor Bushnell created quite an
amusing stir in following Senator Hanna
and saying: There appeared to be every
evidence of harmony here. That's what
we need; that's what we all want"
He continued in keynote for peace and
harmony, as also did Ex-Governor Foraker,
who followed him in a speech urging the
factions to get together
Under a call of the twenty-one con-
gressional districts the committee on reso-
iutions and the state central committee
was announced.
Adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow.
Nash CIsims Maiolity
At the district meetings in the afternoon
the combine, including the Daugherty and
I[urtz forces had a bare majority and Sc
cured control of the committees, including
the pivotal point in the organization in
vested in the committee on credentials,
but the Hanna and Nash men still claim
a majority of the delegates by counties.
The first and second districts after affirm
ing their previous action at Cincinnati
met Jointly and adopted a resolution au-
tborizing Chairman Cox to cast the Sc
votes of Hamilton county in the conven-
ton under the unit rule. There was talk
among the delegates about presenting ex-
CONGRESSMAN John A. Caldwell, of Cincin-
natl, for acknowledgements, If Congress-
man Shattuck or no other man from Ham,
ffon county got the first place.
