The Republican State Convention
here to-day was of national i'm
portance. 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 addition OF the
antitrust resolution and the omission
OF the Porto Rican resolution.
The so-called Hanna slate" on dele
gates and alternates-at-large and the
State ticket went through without any
breaks. There was, however, opposition
to Food Commissioner Blackburn, be-
cause he was running for a third term
and for other local reasons, and to GEN
eral Grosvenor for delegate from the
friends of Ex-Governor Bushnell, who,
among other things. that he was more
chairman m . -
| on Resolutions. that he had brought
the platform with him and had sue
cessfully resisted any material revision.
J. Frank McGrew, ex-Representative
and Son-in-law Of former Governor
Bushnell, speaking OF his amendment
to strike out Grosvenor and insert
| Hanna, eulogized Hanna, whom he has
| heretofore opposed, and said the Demo
| Gratis would make capital out of the ac-
| ton of the Republicans of the Presi-
| dents State If Senator Hanna was not
made one of the big four"
Senator Hanna was finally called to
! the front Of the platform, and pro-
! claimed emphatically What do l care
| what the Democrats say about me-"
| The Senator's speech to-day was on
| local State affairs. In declining to be
| delegate he delivered a philippe
| against what he termed "expedienCies."
When Senator Hanna said he would
| not serve as a delegate there was a
| motion to strike out Grosvenor and in
sert Foster. The Bushnell men former
| ly had not been friendly to Charles
| Foster, Ex-Governor and ex-SeCretary
Of the Treasury. but to-day it was any
body to beat Grosvenor. Foster has
in recent speeches made several 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 Wash
ington."
The resolut on making Foraker. Nash,
Grosvenor and Dick the delegates sat
large was offered by ex-senator Massie,
of GrOsvenor's Congressional district,
and the Bushnell men charged that 1t
was the GEosVenOr plan to avoid ballot
ing. AS soon as this resolution was
adopted General GrosVenor offered a
resolution just like IT, by which the
four alternates at large were also Sc
lected in a bunch without any OF the
forms of presenting names or balloting.
The convention was unusually har-
montous, with the exception Of the per
sonal fights made on GrOsvenor and
Blackburn, both of whom won.
The platform adopted reaffirms the
st. Louis platform. declares the Re
publican administration had restored
prosperity to the country and that the
United States is outstripping all the ma
tions Of the world in foreign trade.
The resolutions endorse the wise and
patriotic administration Of President
Mckinley, whose signal achievements
In war and peace. in craftsmanship and
diplomacy, mark an epoch In the his
tory Of the nation, and whose brilliant
success justifes and demands, in the
highest interests Of the country, the
| tITnr -
other term Of his great but uncom-
pleted work. Confronting unprecedent-
ed requirements at home and unexam-
pied responsibilities abroad, he has met
them with a courage, fidelity and
strength which have given him an en-
during place in the confidence and af-
lection OF his cOuntrymen.
