Columbus, Ohio, April 24.-At 4 o'clock
this afternoon the republican state con-
vention will be called to order for the
nomination of an alternate year state
ticket and the selection of delegates-at-
large to the Philadelphia convention.
Senator Hanna, who arrived this morn
ing, insists that he will not be delegate.
The delegates met by counties for con-
ferences during the forenoon, and by
congressional districts in the afternoon
Committees will meet tonight. Ihe Key
note of the address of Temporary Chair
man r. NJ Nevin of Dayton Will be the
feature of the session this afternoon.
The Hon. r. NJ. Nevin, temporary
chairman, said in part:
1--WE can congratulate ourselves upon
promises kept, platforms fulfilled ana
pledges redeemed. No party was ever
richer in promises than the democratic
party, and no party was ever scantler III
fulfillment. When we look back but four
years and see the condition of the coun.
try when Grover Cleveland was serving
his last term and compare it with today,
we can scarcely believe that only four
wears have elapsed. At that time labor
was seeking employment, mills and FAC
tories were closed, farm produce was
+; selling at the lowest prices and the peo-
pie, instead of building for the future,
were wondering whence Woulu come
their daily bread.
1--WE entered upon the campaign OF edu-
cation in 1896 trusting to the honor and
integrity of the American people. When
the question was presented as to whether
we would repudiate them in whole or in
Darl by paying in a debased currency. the
republican party unhesitatingly went to
the people, believing that it could trust
them at all times and under all circum-
stances to do what was right. The result
we know. In no uncertain terms Went
out the fiat that reputation either IN
whole or in part would never be per-
mitted by the people of this country
Ohios gifted son, William Mckinley. was
triumphantly elected and every promise
that had been made by the national con
vention in st. Louis has through his ad
ministration been loyalty fulfilled"
After referring to the war with Spair
and the treaty of Paris and the acquisi
ton of the Philippines, he said, concern
ing the latter:
1--WE were compelled in order that ther,
might be a proper peaceful governmen
worthy of this country to put down th'
insurrection against our flag and to crust
out the rebellion against our govern
ment We hold the islands not for tn,
purpose of tyrannizing the people, as die
Spain--not for the purpose of wringin,
from them gold or revenue but in orde
that we may train the people in the righ
ideas of government, educate them as t.
what is necessary to maintain and bull,
up people-civilize them as we under
stand it, in the highest and best degree.
