CLEVELAND May 2S-The republican
state convention, which has been a con-
tinued ovation to Senator Hama, closed this
evening with great demonstration in his
honor. to which he responded in a char
acteristic speech. The senator at former
state conventions has sounded keynotes that
have been taken UP by republican glee
clubs He told them today to sing Keep
on Letting Well Enough Alone" in the
campaign rallies this year.
The convention was distinguished for har-
mony in all that was done. One of the last
reconciltations was that of Senator Hanna
ana former Governor Asa S. Bushnell OF
Springfield. The latter had been here all
week, but Bushnell and Hanna never spoke
as they passed each others quarters. They
had not spoken since the memorable con-
test for the senatorship in 1897. Before
going to the convention today they met in
the most cordial manner. The delegates
ports around the convention hall of the way
they were calling each other Mark" ana
Asa" again. Senator Hanna and George
b. Cox of Cincinnati also had a friendly
farewell tonight after a contest during the
day over nominations.
Hanna Men Win All Round
What were called the Hanna men won on
all the ballots, but Cox supported none Of
the winners.
in making up the state ticket Hanna and
Cox were on opposing sides today, the same
a9 in the contest for the organization or
the legislature last January, but good feel
ing prevailed after the convention was over.
While Senator Hanna was cheered as he
entered the hall, as he announced the vote
OF his county delegation, of which he was
chairman, as General GrosYenor and other
speakers referred TO him and ON other oc.
casions the mention Of the names Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Foraker, Governor
Nash and others were also cheered,
General Grosvenor was heartily received
as the permanent chairman, as was Gen.
eral Dick when he read the resolutions,
which we're adopted substantially as he
had drafted them, with the exception OF
the Cuban resolution, on which there was
a compromise.
In accepting denomination at the head OF
c. Laylin referred to the state convention
in GAINESVILLE in 1895 at which the so-called
triple alliance was entered into that in
cluded Bushnell for governor, Foraker for
senator and Mckinley for president.
United for Hanna.
Secretary Laylin said they were equally
united now for Senator Hanna to succeed
himself, although not so distinctly positive
in expressing preference in advance for
president and governor.
There was loud and repeated calls for
Senator Hanna and the greatest demonstra-
tion Of the convention occurred he was
being escorted to the platform. The con-
vention had been in continuous session
from 10 a. m. until almost m, but
the senator received the closest attention
