The Republican State Convention here
to-day was Of national Importance. The
delegates and alternates at large are close
personal as we'll as political friends of
the President, and the platform is just as
it came from Washington with the addi-
ton of the antitrust resolution and the
omission of the Porto Rico resolution.
The so-called Hanna slate on delegates
and alterna tes at large and the State
ticket went through without any breaks.
OPPOSITION TO GROSvENOR.
There was, however, opposition to Food
Commissioner Blackburn because he was
running for a third term and for other
local reasons, and for General GroSvenor
as a delegate by the friends of eX-Gover-
nor Bushnell who, among ether things
said that he was more than the chairman
of e~ComInittee OF Resolutions: that he
had brought the platform with him and
mad successfully resisted any opposition
Senator Hanna called to the front
of the platform and proclaimed emnhati-
cdfy: What do L care what Democrats
say about me- In declining 10 be
| delegate he delivered an argument on
| what he termed dependencies. When
| Senator Hanna said he would not serve
as a delegate, there was motion to
strike out Grosvenor and insert Foster.
| The Bushnell men formerly had not
| been friendly to Charles Foster as ex-
| Governor and Secretary of the Treasury.
| but it was anybody to beat GrosVenor.
| Foster had in recent speeches made sew
eral thrusts at Hanna and Grosvenor,
and when he stepped to the front of the
| platform he said he declined because he
would not want to break the excellent
slate that had been brought to Ohio from
| Washington.
The resolution making Foraker, Nash,
| Grosvenor and Dick the delegates at
| large was offered by ex-senator Afassie.
| of Grosvenor's congressional district, and
the Bushnell men charged that it was
| the Grosvenor plan to avoid balloting.
| AS soon as this resolution was adooted
| General Grosvenor offered a resolution
| just like it, by which the alternates at
| farge were selected in a bunch without
| any fornalities of presenting names
| ballCting.
| The convention was unusually harmoni-
| Gus with the exception of the personal
| fights made On GlOsvenor and Blackburn,
| both of whom won.
| MKINLEY ENDORSED.
| The platform adopted reaffirms the st.
| Louis platform, declares the Republican
| administration has restored prosperity to
| the country and that the United States
| is outstripping all the nations of the
| world in foreign trade.
| The resolutions endorse the wise and
! patriotic administration OF President Nc
Kinley, whose signal achievements in
| war ana peace, in craftsmanship and
| diplomacy mark an epoch in the history
| Of the nation, and whose brilliant sue
| cess justifies and demands, in the highest
| interests OF the country, the uninterrupted
| continuance through another term of his
| great but unCompleted work.
| Confronting unprecedented require
| nents at home and uneXarl pied responsl-
| bilities abroad, he has met them with
| courage, fidelity and strength which
| have given him an enduring place in
| the confidence and affection of his coua-
| trymen.
| Every pledge Of his administration
| has been faithfully redeemed Universal
| confidence is declared to have been re-
! awakened and prosperity unparalleled re-
| established. The administration is de-
| clared to have fixed the gold standard

/ the national currency larger in volume
and sure in value. and lifted the national
| credit to the highest point any nation
| has ever reached
TRUSTS OPPOSED.
The platform continues:
'In the broader field of world duty
| and influence it has met an unavoidable
| war for humanity with uneGualled yigor

! triumph of our arms on sea and land
/ with the courageous acceptance of its
