OLD WOUNDS ARE HEALED
OHIO :. REPUBLICANS "MAKE UP''

Cleveland, Ohio, May 2e.-The repub-
lican state convention was a continued
ovation to Senator Hanna. To told them

One Of the last reconciliations was that

The greatest demonstration of the con-
vention occurred as Senator Hanna was
being escorted to the platform In response
to calls for a speech. \ The senator said:

OF course, as in all campaigns there are
issues which the democratic party are trying
to make foraus upon national questions. They
have talked in the halls of con gress for days
and weeks upon a question which the repub-
licans of the, United States settled last. year,
but we can pardon them for it is all they
have left Bus, how ale they making this
issue? Standing before the American people
and proclaiming the policy of President Nc
Kinley was wrong-morally wrong. Why, re-
publicans: of Ohio, blush to have to say tina.
it seems to me almost all insult to his memory
of the United States senate against a man
whom not only the republicans, Of Ohio. but
the republicans of the nation, worshipped.
Those of us who were close to him during
those trying days, when new questions came
up, we'll know how he &restled with them
prayerfuly and intelligenty, that he. might
do what was best for those people on the
other side of the world, weighing everything
in the balance, and praying to his own high
est 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 bless
ings of a free government controlled by q
power who knew what free government
meant. That was a policy born of the best
| thought and the best efforts that could. be
exercised for the good of those people who
had come into our hands and without the
aid of a party that had much to do with
bringing on the war with Spain. When, as
| a result of that policy, we are confronted with
the conditions that we find to-day shall we
follow the issues that prompted the prejudces
| of party to- thwart us in the work of human
ity and Christianity? Neyer In the words oi
