Quick Work In Convention.
In about three hours the conver
ton nominated full state ticket
adopted it's declaration of principles
endorsed Joseph F. Foraker as the
Republican candidate for reelection
as United States senator, complete,
the party organization for the cam
paign, and transacted other business,
OF the seven nominations only
three were new men, and one of these
Nippert. for lieutenant governor, wa
nominated without opposition. afte.
Lieutenant Governor Caldwell had dc
clined denomination. Nash. Sheets
Cameron and johnson were renom
mated for second terms without opps
sition. There were free-for-all con
tests for the nomination for supreme
Judge and clerk of the supreme court
1t had been currently reported tina.
Crew and Critchfield were on thl
Hanna slate for these two nomina
tions. but Senator Hanna vigorously
denied taking any part whatever il
the contests for these two places. The
vote showed that Price and Emersoi
had formed a combination that work
ed successfully for both of then
Judge Price. Of Lima. has been on the
common pleas and circuit benches,
and Emerson has been prominent In
politics in Eastern Ohio for years.
The nomination that caused the
most comment was that of Nippert in
place of Lieutenant Governor Cald
well, the latter being the only one
who was elected with Governor Nash
two years ago that was not renom-
mated for second term. The State
Anti-Saloon league caused Caldwell to
run several thousand behind his
ticket in 1899. and had vigorously op.
posed his nomination. There were
frequent calls for Caldwell in the con-
vention. but he could not be induced
10 take the platform. While the dele
gates were calling for Caldwell. Chair
man Hanna made Caldwell a member
Of the committee to escort Governor
Nash to the hall, to deliver his speech
Of acceptance. and while the commit
tee was out Chairman Hanna prompt
ly called up the next order of bust
ness and State Senator Nippert was
nominated. Nippert has been princi-
pal Of schools in Cincinnati and po.
lice prosecutor there. Like Caldwell,
he is libei al In his views. and the
State Anti-Saloon league express their
displeasure because Nippert, in the
last legislature, voted aslnst the Clark
local option bill. Meantime the repre-
sentatives of the liquor interests left
last night, very much displeased over
what they term the enforced retire
ment Of Caldwell. While Rev. Mr..
Clark has been renominated in Co.
lumbus for the legislature and several
Republican members who opposed the
Clark local option bill have been de-
feated for denomination.
Senator Foraker was accompanied
last night to Cincinnati by a large
delegation. Senator Hanna and Gov
ernor Nash went to Gambler, where
they are to deliver addresses today
at the commencement Of Kenyon col
lege.
What the Resolutions Contain.
The report of the resolutions com
mittee, which was unanimously adopt
ed by the convention as the platform
of the party in Ohio, reaffirms the
Philadelphia platform; pledges undi-
vided support to the Republican
party, the magnificent achievements
of which, 1t is declared. have added
lustre to American history and under
the administration of which the Unit.
ed States has become q world power.
Industry Eas revived, 1t Is set forth !;
plenty has succeeded want, and our
export trade now leads the world.
The gold standard is specifically en-,
dorsed. Further Strengthening of the
navy. legislation looking to the re
storation of the merchant marine, the
speedy construction Of an American
ship canal across the isthmus, are de-
clared to be imperative needs.
In regard to combinations Of capital
the platform says:
1--WE recognize the right of both la
Dor and capital to combine when such
| combinations are wisely administered
| for the general good hut cOmhina n
ttons which create monopolies to con
troll prices or limit production are ar
evil which must be met by effective
Legislation vigorously enforced"
Congress is asked to renew the hu
name and reasonable laws and treat
les for tho continued protection OF
American labor. This has particular
reference to the expiration Of thu
