Columbus, April -5.-The republi-
can state convention made a great
demonstration here Tuesday. Usual
ly there is only one keynote speech
that of the temporary chairman-but
there were two yesterday and the
one that caused more comment than
any other convention speech in the
history of Ohio republicans was by
Senator Hanna. 1t was very much of
a Hanna day, without discordant
notes. Several delegations called on
him in a body and he responded in
short speeches. At the district meet
ings in the afternoon his friends were
selected on the new state committee
and all other committees. When Sen
ator Hanna entered the convention
hall there was a great demonstration
and he was forced to bow acknowl-
edgments from the platform.
After prayer by DR.. Thompson,
president of Ohio State university,
State Chairman Myron A. Norris, of
Youngstown, in calling the conven-
ton 10 order made quite an address,
but there was no reference to old is
sues. Then Hon. Robert NJ. Nevin
was introduced as the temporary
chairman and he made a decisive hit,
especially in the peculiar emphasis
ne put on the words las an admiral"
in referring to Dewey. Mr.. Hanna
then spoke at length.
The districts were then called for
the members of the committees on
credentials, rules, order of business,
etc. After announcing that all COM
mitteeS would be expected to finish
their work last night, the convention
adjourned until morning.
Columbus, o., April 26.-The repub-
iican state convention here Wednes-
day was of national Importance. The
delegates and alternatesat-l large are
close personal as well as political
friends of President Mckinley and
the platform is just as it came from
Washington, with the addition of the
antitrust resolution and the omission
OF the Porto RiCan resolution. The
sC-called Hanna" slate on delegates
and alternates-at- large and the state
ticket went through without any
breaks. There was opposition to
Food Commissioner Blackburn. but
he was running for a third term, and
TO Gen. Grosvenor for delegate, from
the friends of eX-IOv. Bushnell.
When Hanna said he would not
serve as Il delegate there was a mo-
ton to strike out Grosvenor and in
sert Foster. Mr.. Foster declined.
The resolution making Foraker,
Nash, Grosvenor and Dick the dele
gates-at-large was adopted. Then
Grosvenor offered Il resolution by
which the four alternatcs-at-largc
were also selected in bunch, with
out any of the forms of presenting
names or balloting. The resolution
was adopted and the convention adj
journed.
Following is a synopsis of the plat
form:
The St. Louis platform of 1896 is
indorsed; Mckinley's administration

election urged; the claim is made that
all the pledges made in 1896 have
been kept; that prosperity is here,
and that the gold standard has put

AS 10 tINSlH. we Sldnu committed
to Legislative and executive opposi-

of capital that seek to restrict COM
petition, and stifle Independent pro-
ducers; we invite capitalistic invest
ments material to the industrial de-
velopment of the state and the larg-
est employment of labor, but we in
sist that in furious combinations shall
be forbidden, and so-called trusts be
regulated and restricted as to guar
Rntee immunity from hurtful monop-
oily"
