 Promulgates New Repub- ,t1 hean Motto.

Cleveland. Ohio. May es.-The Repub. ncan State Convention. which has been a continued ovation here all week to senator Hanna, closed this evening with q great demonstration in his honor. to which he responded in characteristic speech. The Senator at former State conventions has sounded keynotes that were taken up by Republican gicc clubs. He told them today to sing Keep on letting we'll enough alone" In the cam paign rallies this year.
 The convention was distinguished for harmony. One of the last feconciliations was that of Senator Hanna and former Governor Asa S Bushnell of Springfield. The latter has been here all week, but Bushnell and Hanna never spoke as they passec each others quarters. They had not spoken since the memorable contest for the Senatorship in 1887. Before going to the convention today they met in the most cordial manner. The delegates who got them together" gave glowing reports around the convention hall of the way they were calling each other Mark. and Asa again
 Senator Hanni and George B.. Cox, of Cincinnati, also had friendly farewell tonight after contest during the day over nominations. What were called the Hanna men, won on all ballots but Cox supported none of the winners In mak. ing up the State ticket Hanna and Cox were on opposing sides today the same as Tn the contest For the organization oi the legislature last January but good feeling prevailed after the convention wa. over. There were loud calls for, Hanna after the ticket had been nominated and the greatest demonstration of the con. vention occurred as he was being escorted to the platform. He said: ~ ,
 Mir. Chairman and fellow Republican. The candidates which you. have ,lorni. mated will receive the unanimous support of the Republicans of Ohio. We had motto in the last convention. let vel enough clone. sI | proy1aac to offer ar anlendnicft to that: Keep on lcttins we'll enough alone.' There are questions If great interest in this campaign, be- cause we are called upon to vote for mem hers of Congress, who shall support our strenuous President during the balance of his administration. s,
 of course, as in all campaigns, there are issues which the Democratic party is trying to make for us upon national ques- tions. They have talked in the halls of Congress for days and weeks upon a question which the Republicans of the United States settled last year. but we can pardon them, for it is all they have left. But, now are they making this issue: Standing before the American people and proclaiming that the policy of President Mckinley was wrong morally wrong. Why Republicans of Ohio. I blush to have to say that 1t seems. to me almost an insult to his memory that such things could be said upon the floor of the United States Sena te against man whom not only the Re- publicans of Ohio, but the Republicans of the nation worship. Shame upon a party that will attempt to bring that name into disrepute and dishonor upon his policies inaugursted. as they were, in the interest of humanity. Those of us who were close to- him during those trying days. when new questions came up. well knew how he wrestled with them prayer fully an sste1ligently that he might do what was best for those people on the other side of the world. Weighing every thing in the balance and praying to his own highest authority, God. he came to the conclusion that the best thing for us and for them was that we might extend to them all the blessings of free govern ment controlled by a power which knew what free government meant. When as a result of that policy we are confronted with the conditions that we find today. shall we follow the issues that prompted the prejudices of a party to thwart us in the work of humanity and Christiani- ty. Never, Tn the words of Roosevelt, Our flag is there and it will stay put ! believe in organized labor and l believe in organized capital as an auxiliary These two great forces are working out the destnies of our country and they must be friendly. They must be ably and honestly administered and they must be controlled.

 Henna, Foraker and Governor Nash. On his motion, the resolutions were adopted.
 The platform in its opening paragraphs refers feelinsly to the death of President Mckinley. In this connection, 1t states
 He was justly recognized as the chief architect of our latter industrial growth. and as the pathfinder of our opening ca- reer of commercial expansion. He meas ured restored prosperity. diffused conf- deuce and security. DPnmDted frafRrnal concord, pointed the way to reciprocal advantages in commercial exchanges, en- larged the republic. advanced it's prestige and influence among the nations, carried liberty to oppressed peoples. and placed our country in the van of the forces for civilization and humanity"
 The platform then cordially endorses President Roosevelt's pledge to carry for ward McieinleyS plans. and President Roosevelt's administration Is thoroughly approved.
