REPUBLICANS ASSEMBLING

Columbus, O., June 2.-At the confer
 ences that preceded the Republican
 State Convention today, interest cen- tered in the control of the new State Committee, the construction of the platform and the fight that the State Anti-Saloon League was making against the renomination of Lieuten- ant Governor Caldwell. \
 The issues on Caldwell and the reso- lutions are still being agitated tonight,
 but the contest for State Committee man resulted in what is called a com plete victory for the Hanna men, who include the friends of Governor Nash and others. The result assures the re- election of Congressman Dick as chair man of the State Executive Commit tee.
 In the Congressional District, Charles Foster, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, ex-Governor, ex-Congressman, and, for many years a delegate at large to nat ional Convention, was defeated for member of the State central committee because of his opposition to Senator Hanna. Ex-Senator Bushnell had been elected as delegate and had been made chairman of the Clark County delegation but failed to attend the con- vention.
 His trends gave some very pointed reasons for his absence. After his de- feat Charles Foster vehemently adress- ed the delegates of his district on cliques and intrigues and on the dam gers of focal imperialism"
 While the Hanna men captured all the committees, they gave special attention to the Committee on Credentials as we'll as to the State Committee, so that none of the Daugherty contesting delegates could be seated. The Hanna men have never before been able to control the
 party organization in the Columbus district but today. although Hon. Harry M. Daugherty made a personal appeal in a stirring speech at the meeting of the Twelfth District, the Hanna men secured everything.
 It was thought after the Cuyahoga County Convention in Cleveland last week that Senator Hanna would not get the solid support of his home dele gation, but he secured both of the State Committeeman in the Twentieth and Twenty first Districts. In the Seventh District. the home of Hon. H. M. Daugherty, a strong effort was made to postpone the selection of commit
 teemen, but the appeals of the Daugh1 erty men were ignored. MT .Daugherty
 made a strong speech in protesting against the proceedings.
 Senators Foraker and Hanna were
 loudly cheered as they came upon the
 stage of the big auditorium at D.
 m. Senator Foraker, the temporary ! chairman of the Convention, was en- Enthusiastically received and made a l lengthy address.
 Senator Foraker was frequently in- terrupted, not only with applause but
 also with demonstrations, notably when
 he said "The flag would stay wherever
 it had been planted"
 After various officers and committee
 men had been announced, the Conven-
 row morning.
 The Committee OH Permanent Organ.
 ization tonight selected Senator Hanna
 for permanent chairman.
 | Senator Hanna will address the Con-
 vention on taking the chair tomorrow. Forecast of Platform.
 The platform, which was completed l tonight but not made public, reaffirms
 the Philadelphia declarations and en- l dorses the administrations of Presi-
 dent Mckinley and Governor Nash. It | commends the last Ohio Legislature, and especially the records of Senators Foraker and Hanna with the specific recommendation of the former for re- election. A liberal administration of the pension laws is demanded; the dis franchisement of colored voters in the
 South is denounced and especially the rage of lynchings.
 The recent declarations of certain Democrats in Ohio on taxation are de- nounced and a careful revision of the taxation laws in Ohio is recommended
 so that corporations rather than prop critics shall bear the burden of taxes.
 The faith of the party is specifically expressed in the Presidents insular policy in commercial and tartn mat | ters. and in never taking down the | flag, and great stress is laid on sus- | taining the President with Republt- cans in control of Congress. The Han na merchant marine bill is endorsed and the Democrats are asked to make nrize-dghting an issue on Governor Nash.
 The Committee on Credentials tonight annroved of the action of the State Central Committee and seated the Mar chant delegation instead Of the Daugh- erty delegates from Fayette Couhly . Harry M. Daugherty, known as the anti-Hanna leader, and who was can didate for the gubernatorial nomlna-
 ton two years ago, made strong ap- neal and afterward entered a vigorous
 nrotest against the proceedings of both the State Central Committee and the Committee on Credentials
 Lieutenant Governor Caldwell caused ouite a stir tonight by announcing that he would not be a candidate for re- nomination. This ended the confer ences that have been in almost contin- nous sessions for the past two days. The representatives of the Brewers ex-
 press their displeasure at what they cal; the enforced retirement of Cald- well. and the recent defeat of State
 Senator Fiber and others for renomi- nation, while the author of the Clark | IncaI nnfinn law has heen renominated
