Universal confidence is declared to
have been reawakened and prosperity
unparalleled re-established. The adj
ministration is declared to have fixed
the gold standard upon firm foundar,
tions of law and made the national
currency larger in volume and sure in
value, and lifted the national credit
to the highest plane any nation has
ever reached"
1t is declared that sovereignty over
the new possessions must not be re-
pudiated, and that the high purpose
of its origin must be accomplished in
the establishment of peace and order
and the blessings of individual lib
erty among the peoples of the Philip
pine Islands"
Thanks and appreciation are ten
dered to the Ohio delegation in Con-
gress; and legislation is favored look
ing to promotion Of the United States
merchant marines. The platform con-
cludes:
The Republican party of Ohio stands
committed to legislative and executive
opposition to the threatening combi-
nations of capital that seek to restrict
competition and stifle independent
producers; we invite within our bor-
ders the c~apitalistic investments that
are material to the industrial develop
ment of the State and the largest en-
of labor, but We insist that
injurious combinations shall be for
hidden and so-called trusts shall be
so regulated from time to time and
be so restricted to guarantee immun-
ity from hurtful monopoly and assure
fair treatment and protection to all
competing industries.
The platform strongly endorses the
administration of Gov. Nash and the
last Ohio Legislature and declares for
a uniform system of municipal gov
eminent.

an Accident.
CHICAGO, April 25.-Mrs. Anna
Louise Lottridge was freed from Gus
tody and exonerated from all blame for
the death of Millionaire Rufus Wright
by the %coroner's jury to-day. On the
advice of her attorney, Mrs. Lottridge
refused to testify at the inquest on the
ground that she might incriminate her
self, but the testimony of all other wit
nesses who spoke with Mr.. Wright be-
fore he died in the room at the Leland
hotel, where he was shot April IA,
agreed that Mr.. Wright had repeatedly,
when asked about the shooting, stated
that it was accidental, and that he had
been clear in his mind when he said
this. There was nothing in the testi-
mony to indicate that the shooting was
other than accidental, and the jury de-
cided that Mr.. Wright came to his
death from a bullet accidentally fired
from a revolver held in his W hands.

One plain drunk was before the
Mayor this morning, and as usual had
no money. This class of invaders to
the city Jail are becoming a nuisance
and are an expense to the city. They
seem to have enough cash to get drunk
on, and then they become the prop
erty of the city until sober, and have
no money to pay their fine.
A prominent business man of the
city spent almost the whole day yes

mar trekked his way back to the city
much Disguised. Moral: Business first,
pleasure later.

WILL BE TAKEN UP TODAY.

The Demand for an Advance by the
Pittsburg Miners to be Considered
by n Committed.
PITTSBURG, Pa, April 25.-The dis
trict miners demand for an advance
of 20 per cent in wages for outside day
work will be taken up tomorrow by
the committee appointed at the min
ers convention and representatives OF
the Pittsburg Coal Company and the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
& Coke Company. While the miners
are firm for the 20 per cent advance.
the operators are holding to their orig
inal position in the matter, and if any
settlement is reached it is expected to
be a compromise. While it is said that
in Illinois and Indiana the 20 per cent
advance is being paid to outside day
men, it is not provided for in the inter-
state agreement and for the Hooking
Valley district of Ohio only bumpers
and trimmers secure such an advance.

AT an Old Age.

Yesterday at 2 o'clock Mrs. Eliza
beth Compton died at the home of Jas.
Long, on Rose Hill. She was in her
ninety-third year, and lived in this city
for over twenty years, having moved
from Wheeling here. She was we'll
known in this city, and had a host of
friends. For many years she has been
a consistent member of the Christian
church, and was faithful in attendance
until her health forbade it. She had
not been well for several months, but
was only confined to her bed three
days. At all times she was perfectly
rational and told all her friends she
was ready to go. Her memory was
remarkable, and one of her favorite
topics was to talk of old times, and
especially when Queen Victoria was
crowned. She leaves but one child,
James Compton, of Nashville, Tenn,
who was with her at the end, her hus-
band having preceded her several years
ago. The funeral will take place to-
day at 2:30. Interment at Rose Hill
cemetery.

The schedule season of the Inter-
state base ballleague will open with
games next Saturday. New Castle
will open the season at Wheeling with
a series of three games. Messrs.
Healy and Lyle have completed ar
rangements for the formal opening.
The game will be preceded by a street
parade with brass band accompani-
ment, the players of the two clubs and
local and visiting magnates riding in
carriages. At the ball park there will
be a band concert for a half or three
quarters of an hour preceding the
opening. 1t is likely that the Mayor
or another official will toss the first ball
over the plate. The remainder of the
programme will consist of an awful
Iambasting of the "Yanegans" by the
Nailers-that is, very probably.
Pitcher Pardee arrived from Kansas
City yesterday afternoon and Strick-
lett arrived last night. Both have had
the full benefit of spring practice with
the Kansas City club, and are in ex-
cellent form. In a game the other day,
Pardee held an opposing club down to
one hit in six innings. That's good
enough for Wheeling.
Victor King, Of Allegheny, Pa, an

Harry Berte, of Covington, has
jumped Youngstown for Richmond,

not give up as much coin of the realm
as Harry thought his services war
ranted.
