Ohio Republican Convention.

Columbus, June 25-The Republic
can state convention convened here
with a large attendance. At the con-
ferences, some time previous to the
gathering of the convention, interest
centered 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 denomination of Iieuten-
ant Governor Caldwell. The issues on
Caldwell and the resolutions were
still being agitated last night but the
contest for state committeeman re
suited in what is called unanimous
victory for the Hanna men, which IN.
clude the friends of Governor Nash
and others. The result assures the
reelection of Congressman Dick as
chairman of the state executive com
mittee.
Charles Foster, ex-secretary Of the
treasury, ex-governor, ex-congress-
man, and for many years delegate
at-large to national conventions, was
defeated for member Of the state cen
trail committee because of his opposi-
ton to Senator Hanna. Ex-Governor
Bushnell had been elected as dele
gate and had been made chairman of
the Clark county delegation, but at
the meeting of the delegates of his
district it was informally announced
that he would not attend the conven-
ton. His friends gave some very
pointed reasons for his absence. At
ter his defeat Charles Foster vehe-
mently addressed the delegates of his
district on cliques and intrigues and
on the dangers Of local imperialism
