All over with Daugherty.
The conference at which Senator Hanna,
Mr.. Cox and others reached a mutually
satisfactory understanding, did not con-
olude untn o'clock this morning, an hour
before the convention assembled. II was

other candidates.
Guilbert and Huffman were nominated
for second terms without opposition. When
some of the delegates raised the cry of
"slate!" George B. Cox himself was the
first to break the slate by changing the
eighty-six votes of Hamilton county,
which he had cast on the first and sec
ond ballots for Judge HUI, for attorney
general to James NJ. Sheets 4.
The only other place in which the slate
was broken was in the nomination for SUI
preme judge. The incumbent, Judge
Bradbury, was a candidate for term, and
he was opposed on that ground as well as
on the cry OF "Slate!h Judge Bradbury,
State Treasurer Campbell and Attorney
General Monnett were all candidates for
the nomination for third terms, and all
were defeated.
Mckinley IndOrsed.
Outside of the unusually animated con-
tests for the nominations, the feature of
the convention was its universal indorse-
ment of President Mckinley. When the
plank in the platform commencing "the
President for the judicious notifications
of the civil service rules, recently pro-
mulgated," was read there was a very en-
thusaslic demonstration.
On presenting the name of Mr.. Daugh-
erty, Mr. Holcomb of Cleveland said he
hoped the convention would Tolerate no
dictation. And when Mr.. Daugherty was
called out, after the nomination of Judge
Nash, the defeated candidate said among
other things, that he hoped he would at
least be allowed to live as a private eiti-
zen in the Republican ranks
1t was 1920 when Chairman Kerr called
the convention to order. All contests had
been settled satisfactorily by the commit

hoga county (Cleveland) was shut out. The
temporary organization was made perma-

The Platform Adopted.
The following platform was adopted:
"The Republican party of Ohio reaflirms
the principles declared by the 81. Louis
platform. We earnestly indorse the great
administration of William Mckinley. 1t
Is distinguished TO a remarkable degree in
the history of national administration.
Under the last Democratic administration,
and as a result of the Democratic prucl-
pies and policy, our Industries were dc
stroyed, capital and labor were unemploy-
ed. the poor suffered as never before In
our history, agricultural products could
not be sold because consumers could not
earn money with which to buy, and every
branch OF trade felt the blghting infu-
ence of the Democratic tariff reform hard
times the treasury Of the United States
was depicted and the gold reserve disap-
peared. The government borrowed money
to pay current expenses, increasing the
public debt in times Of peace by hundreds
of millions Of dollars.
"The Democratic party proposed TO the
people as a remedy for all those Demo-
cratic his, deprecated and dishonest cur
rency, which intensified every i'll.
Administration Commended.
During all that period Of depression and
distress the Republican party stood fast
for the principles and policies under which
American Industries had been built up and
had fourished beyond example. The prin-
ciples and policies under which the people
had prospered and the nation had grown
great for a generation, stood fast for
sound and honest currency. and in 1896
elected 10 the presidency William McKin-
and true American ideas and policies the
friend Of every American Industry and the
wise and patriotic defender and advocate
of honest money.
Under his splendid Republican admin
istration, public credit has been restored,
the prosperity of The people has developed,
our commerce has grown great, our trade,
domestic and foreign, has increased to
degree never before known. and the people
are looking with confidence for greater
things to come.
The War with Spain.
1.-THE magnificent achievements OF our
army and navy in the war with Spain for
the liberation Of the down-trodden and
oppressed people Of Cuba from the domi-
nation OF Castillian despotism accom-
plished under the mastery guidance OF a
Republican administration, are necessary
subjects for highest encomium By a con-
vention Of Ohio Republicans.
ITO the same mastery Guidance con-
trolled by the great principles that have
shaped the high destiny OF the Republican
party from Lincoln 10 Mckinley, the peo-
pie can safely commit the solution OF the
