Defiance.
The Republican state convention,
which has been continued ovation
here all week to Senator Hanna,
closed last evening with great dem
onstration in his honor, to which ne
responded in characteristic speech.
The senator at former state conven-
tons has sounded keynotes that were
taken up by Republican glee clubs.
He told them yesterday to sing
Keep Letting Well Enough Alone"
in the campaign rallies this year.
The convention was distinguished
for harmony in the chorus for Hanna
in all that was done. One OF the last
reconciliations was that OF Senator
Hanna and former Governor Asa >.
Bushnell, Of Springfield. The latter
had been here all week, but Busneil
and Hanna never spoke as they
passed each others quarters. They
had not spoken since the memorable
contest for the senatorship in 1897.
Before going to the convention yes
terday 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.
Hanna and Cox Parted Friendly.
Senator Hanna and George B. Cox,
of Cincinnati, also had friendly
farewell last night, after a contest
during the day over nominations.
What were called Hanna men won
on all ballots, but Cox supported none
of the winners. In making up the
state ticket Hanna and Cox were on
opposing sides yesterday, the same
as in the contest for the organization
of the legislature last January, but
good feeling prevailed after the con
vention was over.
While Senator Hanna was cheered
as he entered the hall, as he an
nounced the vote Of his county dele
cation. of which he was chairman, as
General Grosvenor and other speak
ers referred to him, and on other oc
casions, the mention Of the names OF
President Roosevelt, Senator For
aker, Governor Nash and others were
also cheered. General .Grosvenor was
heartily received as the permanent
chairman, as was General Dick, when
he read the resolutions, which were
adopted substantially as he had
drafted them, with the exception Ui
the Cuban resolution, on which there
was a compromise.
Paid Tribute to Mckinley.
General Grosvenor in his speech
paid warm tribute to the memory OF
President Mckinley. He declared
that the present prosperity of the
country was due to the principles or
which the late president had gone
before the people and that by follow
ing his counsel and precept steady
advancement was assured. He said
that President Roosevelt was &
worthy successor to Mckinley and
bestowed praise on the national ad
ministration and the last congress.
In accepting denomination at the
head of the state ticket, Secretary Of
State Lewis G. Laylin referred to the
state convention at GAINESVILLE. Ar
1895, at which the so-called triple al
lance was entered into that included
Bushnell for governor, Foraker fol
senator and Mckinley for president
Secretary Laylin said they were
equally united now for Senator Han
ma to succeed himself, although no
so distinctly positive in expressing
preferences in advance for presiden
and governor. This reference to tn
!, governorship was enjoyed by the del
egates who have during the week wit
messed the dress parade here Of :
half dozen or more aspirants for thu
gubernatorial nomination next year.
The convention reassembled at II
o'clock yesterday. After prayer b.
the Rev. M. o. Simons, pastor of the
Unity church, in this city, Governo

Charles H. Grosvenor permanent
chairman, and continuing the rest O
the temporary organization, was thel
adopted. When Governor Nash pre-
scented General Grosvenor the latte
received an ovation.
