The convention, which has been
i. continued ovation here all the week to
Senator Hanna, closed this evening
with a great demonstration in his hon
or, to which he responded in a speech.
| The convention was distinguished in
| harmony for Hanna. The last recon-
Citation was that of Senator Hanna
| and eX-GoV. Asa S. Bushnell of
Springfield. They had not spoken since
| the memorable contest for the senator
ship in 1897.
Senator Hanna and George B. Cox
of Cincinnati also had friendly fare
well tonight after a contest during the
day over nominations.
Senator Hanna said in part
THE Democrats have talked in the
halls of Congress for days and weeks
upon question the Republicans of the
United States settled last year. but
we can pardon them, for it is all they
have left. But how are they making
this issue? Standing before the
| American people and proclaiming that
the policy of President Mckinley was
wrong-morally wrong. Shame upon
a party that will attempt to bring
that name into disrepute and hishon-
or through his policies, inaugurated,
as they were, in the interest Of hui
manity. When, as a result of that
policy we are confronted with the
conditions that we find to-day, shall
we follow the issues that promoted
the prejudices of a party to thwart
us in the work of humanity and Chris
tianity? Never.
'In the words or Roosevelt, Our
flag is there and it will stay put
assembled to-day and heard reports.
The report making Gen. Charles H.
Grosvenor permanent chairman and
continuing the rest of the temporary
organization was adopted.
When Gov. Nash presented Gen.
Grosvenor the latter received quite an
ovation.
In. the course of his speech Gen.
Grosvenor said:
Reciprocity must not be used to de-
stroy home industries. Reciprocity
| must not be made use of to lessen the
wages of the American laborers or to
| curtail the scope of their employment.
But reciprocity may be used to open
the markets of other countries to the
productions of our country and there
! by in that way make it possible to give
more wages and more hours of labor
| to the American workman. And es
| pecially is it vitality important that our
great manufacturing industries and
our great possibilities of agricultural
| production shall, through the medium
| of just reciprocity, open the door of
| foreign trade to the American pro-
Queer. Keeping constantly in mind the
! fundamental principles of protection it
| self, reciprocity, the handmade of pro-
lection, can be made of the highest
value to the American people.
| Our Democratic friends are keenly
| alive to a subject which is one of the
most interesting of all the phenomena
of the day, the rapid and enormous de-
velopment of combinations of capital
and labor which are usually denomi-
mated trusts. No Democrat in power
or out of power, so far as 1 know, in
any national way has interfered with
the operation of trusts.
To-day there is every appearance of
a conflict to death between the govern
off La taI he
hand and certain recognized injurious
trusts on the other hand, and the Re
| publican administration, through the
courts of the country and by the in
| strumentality of the law has invoked
by the attorney general of the United
| States, is proceeding to define the trust
as it exists and to drive it out of it's
business of monopoly. The writ Of in
junction is being issued to restrain the
greed of combinations, and effective
| measures are being taken to dissolve
| certain of these injurious combinations.
The injurious and dangerous combi-
nation, that which will not be tolerated
in the United States, is the combination
| that first reduces the number of lab
orers, curtails their wages and en-
hances the price of the article to be
consumed. When this takes place. or
| CARNATIONS engaged in that business
will be wiped off the face of the earth
| either by law or by the more sure and
certain process of competition.
Gen. Dick, chairman of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, then read the plat
| form, which was adopted.
To Mckinley and Roosevelt.
After paying tribute to the memory
Of President Mckinley the platform APP
| proves the high aims and character of
| President Roosevelt's administration.
1t maintains the plighted faith of the
nation, upholds the best standard of
the public service and stands by the
policies which assure stability and con-
fidence He represents a civic patri-
otism of the highest type and the des-
TIMES of the country are safe in his
! hands"

State affairs are then referred to
and the present prosperity of the coun-
try under the protective tariff is COM
