PL ANkS IN PL ATFO O r NJ


Judge Caldwell's candidacy for renomina
tion lieutenant governor in spite of the
strenuous effort made by George B. Cox of
Cincinnati for his retention the ticket.
The leaders then gave Mr.. Cox the naming
of candidate, and he chose Carl Nippert
of Cincinnati. who, it is said. will be
acceptable to the interests that Judge Cald-
well represented was that gentleman
himself So the jubilatfon of the anti
saloon leaguers is tempered.
All yesterday afternoon the party man.
ayers struggled over the knotty problem
presented by Mr. Coxs insistence and the
objections to his choice raised by the in
coming delegates. fresh from the interior
counties, who said that the people had been
aroused by the campaign of the Anti-Saloon
League and that 1t would be fatal to party
prospects to renOminate Caldwell Supper
time came and still the decision had not
been reached In the evening another con-
ference was held and by this time il was
evident that if the leaders wanted to keep
control Of the convention and dictate the
slate. they must agree upon some plan for
the lieutenant goveruOrship. Cox was
standing pat on his original proposition So
they told him that he could have Caldwell
but that the responsibility for defeat if de-
reat occurred, must rest with the Cox CaId-
well crowd

This word was passed To Caldwell about
10 O'Clock last night He was told that he
could have the nomination if he demanded

acceptance would defeat the ticket Mr.
Caldwell bitterly resented the turn which

would not have the nomination with the

cons rvaJives to select Judge Speigel of
Cincinnati for the place. and he showed at
one time an inclination to do so. going so
far as 10 communicate with the judge.

Senator Hanna was consulted and said
the selection was entirely agreea BILE to him.

The representatives, of the Anti-Saloon

over the withdrawal of Caldwell and claim
that the victory will be salutary because
Judge Caldwelrs name was so intimately
connected with the liquor interests. They
are somewhat cast down over the choice
of a man known as one of COx's lieutenants
and followers. however.
The wise ones in the convention are con-

Last night was busy season for all the

ing Of the district delegations and the
lection of members of committees. The
Hanna forces made determined effort to
capture the organization If the commit

manifested in this direction and it has
aroused considerable gossip. The general
explanation IS that Mr. Hanna sees poss-

should have absolute domination of the

Committee Resolutions.
The resolutions committee met at .
o'clock and organized by electing General
Grosvenor chairman. a subcommittee
composed of Charles Dick. Myron T. Her
rick General GrosvenOr. d. d. WoOdman-
= see. Representative Tayler and George P.
Grouse uf Toledo WAS appointed TO draw up
the platform and Instructions.
A pathetic incident marked the meeting
Of the thirteenth district delegation. Ex-
Governor Charles Foster, former Secretary
of the Treasury, was a member of this
delegation and signtfied his desire TO go on
the committee on resolutions But the old
q veteran of Ohio politics. who had given his
best years 10 the service of his party, was
ruthlcssly set aside and brutally told that
a younger man was desired for that place.
II. y Quigley of Marion county was
chosen. Governor Foster made a brief
statement TO his colleagues, deprecating
the intrigue which he declared had de-
pTived him Of the place. He said he under
stood how young men counted political
honor. but said when they had reached his
4, years they would understand they should
not obtain II by intrigue In a voice trem-
bling with emotion the venerable statesman
and politician said ne had hoped the good
Lord would tell him when he could be of no
further use to his party, and that the in
men. Then he took his hat and sadly left
the committee room.
Declarations In Platform.
The platform contains the usual in
dorsement OF state and national administra-
tions. II also contains the following
declarations Of interest: THE principle of
protection has achieved its most signal
triumph in the results of the Dingley tariff
law. II has given us markets, prosperity
at home, and rapidly growing export
trade. which are the envy of the world
The republican tariff policy has made the
farmer and the laborer more prosperous
than ever. and no legislation should be per-
mitted which will imperiI the interests OF
either. Tariff schedules which will protect
American labor against the low wages paid
foreign labor must be maintained We re-
affirm all declarations heretofore made by
the republican party in favor of reciprocity
and urge the making of such additional
treaties, based on the protective princi-
