OHIO REPUBLICANS.
Second Days Proceedings of the state
ConventIon-TIcket Nominated.

and Hanna were supreme in the state
republican convention that closed
Wednesday afternoon, after nominat-
ing state ticket for this falls cleo
tion. The successful candidates were
all favorites of Senator Hanna and
were all opposed by Boss Cox, of Gin
cinnati. The nominees of the con-
vention were:
For Secretary of State-L. C. Lay
lin, the present incumbent.
For Judge of the Supreme Court
w. Il. Crew, of McConnellsville.
For Dairy and Food Commissioner
Horace NJ. Ankeney, of Greene
county.
For Member of the State Board of
Public Works-William Kirtley, jr., of
Defiance county.
The convention lasted about five
hours.
Gen. Grosvenor, with his opening
address, in which he sounded the key
note of the campaign for the nation
nj as well as the state campaign, made
the longest speech, and the address
with which Senator Hanna closed the
convention was the only other of
length. The speeches nominating the
various candidates were limited to
five minutes each, and no seconding
speeches were allowed.
Rev. NJ. o. Simons, of Cleveland, de-
livered the opening prayer. The gal
leries were well filed, there being
more than 1000 spectators present.
Gov. Nash, opening the meeting as
temporary chairman, introduced Con-
gressman Grosvenor, who at once be-
gan his speech.
The reports of all the committees
were adopted without discussion.
Gen. Charles Dick read the platform.
The reading was frequently inter-
rupted by prolonged applause, the
most demonstrative manifestations
of approval greeting the references
to Mckinley and to the permanency
of the American flag in the Philip
pines.
Other features of the platform
were praise for the business-like ad-
ministration of the affairs of the
state of Ohio under republican rule,
praise for the work of congress,
pledge to secure for labor the con-
sideration due to it, and the promise
of all possible effort to bring capital
and labor together as friends and CO.
workers with shorter hours and bet
ter pay for labor, declarations in ia
vor of Chinese exclusion, liberal pen
sions, naval increases, laws favorable
to American shipping, an isthmian
| canal, the enforcement of the Sher
man antitrust law and the regula-
ton of trusts by wise new legisla-
ton, a pledge to protect the purity
| of the ballot, condemnation of an
archy and praise for the army. The
| Cuban reciprocity clause of the plat
form is the most important. The
| Cuban clause adopted is a compro-
mise between the Forakerites and
Roosevelters and their demand for
full reciprocity with Cuba and the
followers of Gen. Dick, who insist on
protection for the American beet
sugar industry.
The platform was adopted without
discussion. Then the nominations
were called for. Laylin was the only
candidate for secretary of state. He
was chosen by acclamation.
The fight of the convention came
over the supreme court judgeship.
Five ballots were necessary TO show n
choice. Crew led from the first, but
he had long fight to defeat \. B.
Summers. of Clark county, to whom
Cox, of Cincinnati, threw all the
strength he could master.
Over the office of state dairy and
food commissioner there was another
lively fight. f. \. Bait, of Cleveland,
Fred Herbst, of Franklin county, and
Horace Ankeney, of Miamo county,
were the candidates. Cox declared
for Herbst and threw all his strength
to him. Hanna's candidate was An.
keney. Bait was his own candidate
Cox made one last struggle in the
nomination for member of the board
of public works and then the con.
vention was over. William Kirtley
jr., of Defiance county; Robert Lead,
ing, of Licking; John O'Connor, OF
Montgomery, and w. T. Mclean, OF
Shelby county, were the candidates
Kirtley, the Hanna candidate, was
nominated easily.
When the nominations were fin
ished a resolution praising Cleveland
for the treatment the convention haC
been given, and also praising the
ladies of the city especially for theil
hospitality, was adopted.
Before the convention closed there
were loud calls for Hanna" and the
senator mounted the platform and de
livered the first great speech of the
campaign. He pointed out the i'm
portance of the various planks of thu
platform and said that it was tn,
