THE SENATOR NOT A DELEGATE He Delivered a Philippic Against Expediencies Election Was Br Resolution and in Bunches. COLUMBUS. O., April 3. The Repub lican State Convention here today was of National significance. The delegates and alternates-at-large represent close person al as well as political friends of the Pres ident, and the platform la Just as It came from Washington, with the addition of the anti-trust resolution and the omis sion of the Porto Rlcan resolution. The so-called "Hanna slate" on dele gates and alternates-at-large and the state ticket went through without any breaks. There was, however, opposition to Food Commissioner Blackburn, because he was running for a third term, and for other local reasons, and to General Grosvenor for delegate, from the friends of ex-Governor Bushnell. The opposition, however, was unsuccessful. Attention was called to the fact that General Grosvenor was a delegate-at-largc four year? ago, and that he had been a district delegate to National conventions ever since the Re publican party had existed. At this con vention It was charged he was more than the chairman of the committee on reso lutions, that he had brought the platform with him, and had successfully resisted any material revision. Tho efforts of the Bushnell men to substitute some one In place of Grosvenor made on unusually In teresting scene, which reached Its climax when J. Frank McGrew. ex-Hcpresenta-tlve and son-in-law of ex-Governor Bush nell, was speaking on his amendment to strike out Grosvenor and Insert Hanna. McGrow eulogized Hanna, whom he has heretofore opposed, and said the Demo crats would make capital out of tho ac tion of the Republicans of the state. If Senator Hanna was not made one of the "big four." When Senator Hanna was finally called to the front of the platform the speech of the ex-Representative caused the Senator to exclaim emphatically: "What do I care what .the Democrats 6ay about meV In declining to be a delegate. Senator Hanna delivered a philippic against what he termed "expediencies." When Senator Hanna said ho would not serve as a delegate, there was a motion to strike out Grosvenor and insert ex Governor Foster. Mr. Foster stepped to tho front of the platform and declined because he "would not want to break the excellent slate that has been brought to Ohio from Washington." The resolution making Fo-aker, Nash, Grosvenor and Dick the delegates-at-large was offered by ex-Senator Hassle, of Grosvenor's Congressional district, and the Bushnell men charged that it was the Grosvenor plan to avoid balloting. As soon as this resolution was adopted. General Grosve nor offered a resolution Just like it by which the four alternates-at-large were also selected In a bunch without any o( the forms of presenting names or bal loting. The committee on credentials found the only contest in Washington County and reported In favor of seating both delega tions with each having one-half the vote. Ex-Represcntatlve Taylor, wha led the opposition, insisted that this report would be like Congress allowing Roberts of Utah one-fourth vote and his three wives each one-fourth. Tailor's motion to seat the delegates selected under the call of :,' the state committee and to unseat the contestants carried. Ayes, Kb; noes, JCS. General C. H. Grosvenor from the com 'rolttee on resolutions then reported the platform, which was adopted. The plat form reaffirms the declaration of the principles adopted by the St. Louis con vention In 1896, and continues: Ohio Itcpubllcnn 1'lntform. "We cordially Indorse the wise and pa triotic administration of President Mo Kmley, whoso signal achievements In war and peace, in statesmanship and diplo macy mark an epoch in the history of nations, and whose brilliant success Jus tines and demands, in the, high inter ests of the country, uninterrupted con tinuance through another term of his great but uncompleted work, confronting unprecedented requirements at home ani unexampled responsibility abroad. He has met them with courage, fidelity and strength, which have given him an en during place In the confidence and affec tion of his countrymen. "Every pledge of his administration hai been faithfully redeemed. It has dis pelled long business depression, restored protection of American labor and industry, reawakened universal confidence, re-estab llshed prosperity unparalleled, assured to labor steadiest employment and highest pay, opened new fields of enterprise and new markets for trade. It has brought to agricultural classes a better condition than for many years, fixed the gold standard upon firm foundations of law and made our National currency larger In volume, sure In value, and lifted our National credit to the highest piano any nation hat ever reached. "In the broader Held of world duty and Influence, it has met an unavoidable war for humanity with unequaled vigor and success; has crowned the matchless tri umph of our arms on sea and land with the courageous accomplishments of its sol emn and high obligations: has faithfully studied and sought equally the true honor of the Nation and the greatest good of the people who have come under our flag and has, through the wise use of ex panded opportunity, led our country on the pathways of greatness and renown. "We reaffirm the principle In which the Republican party had Its birth and on . which Abraham Lincoln was elected Pres ident, that the representatives of the peo ple have full power over territory belong ing to the United States In harmony with ond subject to the fundamental safeguards of our free institutions for liberty Justice and personal rights. We sustain the President and Congress In exercising this power with due regard for the safety and welfare of the Union and with most Just, generous, humane and fraternal considera tion for those over whom the authority of the Nation Is extended. 7Wo ad,yocate " them free schools, full security for life, liberty and prosper ity, most liberal measures for the devel opment of their Industries and agriculture and the largest degree of local self-rule for which they are fitted. We have faith In American patriotism, character and capacity, and we know that American government will extend the Inestimable blessings of freedom, law and civilization to the people who are brought under our protection." The provisions of the treaty of Pari. r. approved In every particular. On this subject the platform continues: "That sovereignty (In the Philippines) must not be repudiated and the high mo tive of its origin must result in the estab lishment of peace and order and the bless ing of individual liberty among the people of the Philippine Islands." The platform favors such legislation by Congress as will encourage and promote a United States merchant marine. The plank on trusts is as follows: The Republican party of Ohio stands committed to Legislative and executive opposition to the threatening combinations of capital that seek to restrict compe tition and stifle Independent investments that add materially to tho development of the state and the largest employment of labor, but we Insist that Injurious com binations shall "be forbidden and the so called trusts be so regulated from time to time and be so restricted as to guarantee Immunity from hurtful monopoly as to in sure fair treatment and protection to all competing Industries." The platform strongly indorses the ad ministration of Governor Nash, and de clares for a uniform system of municipal government. Tho following nominations were madi by acclamation: Secretary of State L. C. Lay 1 In. Supreme Judge John A. Shank. School Commissioner Lewis D. Bone brake. Member of Board of Public Works Charles A. Goddard. For Food and Dairy Commissioner Jo seph E. Blackburn. For Electors-at-Large General William P. Orr, of Plqua, and Colonel Myron T. Herrlck, of Cleveland, were nominated by acclamation. Senator Foraker, Governor Nash, Gen eral Grosvenor and General Dick were presented by one resolution by ex-Senator Massle for delegaets-atlarge. Cox of Cincinnati moved that the secretary be directed to cast the vote of the convention for those named. Ex-Representative Frank McGrew moved to substitute the name of Hanna for that of Grosvenor. McGrew's amendment was lost. Hanna positively declined. Judge Stewart then moved to substitute the name of Charles Foster. Foster also declined. Stewart's amendment was lost, and then the motion of Cox carried. Adjourned sine die. WISCONSIN nnPCBLICAXS. Elect National Deleirntes, Nominate Electors and Adopt Resolutions. MILWAUKEE, Wis..

Bryan, who, he said, "Is wrong on every question," and declared If the Republicans do their duty there can be but one re sult the triumphant re-election of Mc Klnley. The temporary organization was made permanent, after which the committee on resolutions presented the following re port: "We reaffirm the principles popularly ap proved and indorsed at the last National election and commended and Justified by subsequent events. "We are gratified that experience neither constrains us to recede from the high posi tion then taken on questions before the country, nor to subordinate views then supported to meet the exigencies of a new campaign. "We hereby express our profound gratifi cation that the present Congress of the United States, conformably to those prin ciples, by formal legislative enactment has established as a permanent standard of value the gold coin of the Nation. "We indorse the strong, brilliant and progressive administration of our Presi dent, William McKlnley, under which our National domain has been enlarged, new luster added to our arms, and unparalleled Increase of wealth and prosperity secured to the country. And we rely upon our party to deal with and solve the problems that have come to us as a result of the Spanish war In a manner that will reflect credit upon the party and redound to the honor and strength of the Nation." Tho resolutions were unanimously adopt ed. Then came the election of delegates-at-large. The convention adjourned sine die at 4:30 P. M. Henry C. Pnyne will undoubtedly be chosen to succeed himself as National committeeman for Wisconsin at the Phll adelephla convention. SMALL, BUT PERSISTENT. Colorado Populist Convention Names Delegates and Resolves. FLORENCE, COLO.. April 25,-Only 27 of the 67 counties In Colorado were rep resented In the State convention of the People's party which met here today, tho attendance being unusually small. Judgo Frank W. Owers, of Lcadville, Vas chair man. Leo Vincent, of Boulder, and I. D. Chamberlain, of Pueblo, were selected as members of the National Committee. A committee of 15 was appointed to name delegates to the National convention at Sioux Falls, a D., and a recess was taken. When the convention reasscmbeld, the committee reported the names of 3S dele gates, with Hon. T. M. Patterson, of Denver, as Chairman. It also contained the names of three women, Mrs. Dora Phelps Buelt. Mrs. Olive M. Bacon and Mrs. Suo M. Callahan. J. A. Edgerton, Secretary of the National Committee, was also named. The report was adopted. The following resolutions were adopted, after which the convention adjourned: "Resolved, by the People's Party of Colorado, in State Convention assembled. That we recognize In William Jennings Bryan a. great and honest statesman, whoso character and principles commend him to all true patriots, and we declare that ho la the unanimous chMco of the People's Party of Colorado for President of the United States. "Resolved, That to secure the election of Mr. Bryan to the Presidency it is of highest importance that the candidate for Vice-President shall be acceptable to the People's, Democratic and Silver Re publican parties; that those who sincerely desire the success of the reforms for which Mr. Bryan stands. look with ap prehension upon a repetition of the dis cord of four years ago, consequent upon different VIce-Presldentlal nominees up on the tickets with him; that In the Judg ment of this convention such a calamity can most assuredly be avoided by con ferences between properly accredited com mittees from the People's, Democratic and Silver Republican party conventions, to agree If possible upon a nominee for Vice-President that win be satisfactory to the three; that to secure such a result we advise that the People's party soon to assemble In National Convention nt Sioux Falls, do not. at said conven tion, nominate a candidate for Vice-President, but in lieu thereof appoint an exec utive committee with authority to confer with similar committees from the Demo cratic and Sliver Republican conventions at Kansas City, and to agree with them If possible upon a Vlce-Presldentlal nom inee In honest sympathy with W. J. Bryan and the great rerorms ho so bravely and unselfishly espouses: and we pledge that such a ticket, when nominated, will re ceive the enthusiastic and unqualified support of the People's Party of Colo rado." Will Not Consult Schley. WASHINGTON. April 23. The friends of Rear-Admlral Schley In Washington say that he has no desire whatever to enter politics, and that all the talk about the Democratic leaders attempting to secure his consent to accept the Vicc-Prcfildentlal nomination at Kansas City will fall. It Is doubtful If the effort will be made. It Is not at all likely that a messenger will be sent to the Admiral to ask him whether or -not he would accept the nomination. This has been discussed before by the Democratic leaders. In the event that they desired to make their ticket Bryan and Schley, this year, they would do so at "Kansas City, without any consultation whatever with Admiral Schley. STILL CLINGING TO QUAY PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN CON VENTION PLEDGES SUPPORT. The Opposition was OverwhelralnRly Voted DoTrn National Delegates Instructed for McKlnley. ILVRRISBURG, Pa.. April 23. The Re publican State Convention, which was held In this city today, cordially indorsed the Administration of President William Mc Klnley, and instructed the delegates to tho National convention at Philadelphia to support his candidacy for renomlna tlon. The convention also declared in favor of the election of United States Senators In the same manner that state officers are elected; Indorsed Senator Pen rose, the administration of Governor Stone and other state officials, and pledged Its "hearty and cordial support" to Colonel M. S. Quay for re-election to the United States Senate. The convention also nominated F. B. Hardenberg, of Wayne County, for Auditor-General, and Galusha A. Grow, of Susquehanna County, and Robert H. Foer derer, of Philadelphia, for Congressmen-at-Large. Tho Indorsement of Colonel Quay was opposed by Senator William Flynn, of Pittsburg, leader of the anti-Quay Repub licans In the last Legislature. Mr. Flynn explained that he was In sympathy with the platform In everything except this plank, and moved that It be stricken rfjut. Hls motion was defeated, and the plat form was adopted as reported from the committee. The convention let out the first big yell when Senator Penrose arose to present a formal resolution providing for a commit tee on resolutions, to which resolutions shall be referred. Senator Flynn, of Allegheny, the leader of tho anti-Quay forces, offered threo resolutions, prepared by Quay's opponents. The first was read without creating much comment. The other two were greeted with Jeers and hisses, so that not a dozen delegates knew what the clerk was read ing. The first two resolutions referred to tho prevalence of election frauds, and mado the penalty not less than 10 years' imprisonment and disfranchisement. The third favored the election of United States Senators by the people. The threo Flynn resolutions were not considered by the committee. While the committee was In session the names of 23 District Presidential Electors were announced. The nomination of can didates followed. Senator Penrose, as chairman, read the platform as agreed to by tho committee on resolutions, and of which tho follow ing Is an abstract. It reaffirms tho last National Republican platform; comparison Is drawn between what la termed the deplorable conditions prevailing at the close of the Cleve land administration and the Industrial activity and financial security at the close of the present administration. It Indorses the present administration and instructs the National delegates for McKlnley. It, declares for National defense, for rein forcement of the navy, for enlargement of our foreign markets, the employment of American workmen in mines, forests, farms, mills, factories and shipyards, tha immediate enactment of legislation simi lar to that favorably reported to each branch of Congress so that American built. American-owned and American manned ships may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. The country Is congratulated that the money question no longer disturbs bust ncsscondltlons, and that the gold stand ard is now accepted as the monetary unit of value- The election of United States Senators by the people Is favored and an amendment to the Federal Constitution to that effect demanded. The conven tion declares its continued belief in the political and personal Integrity of ex Senator Quay, and records its firm con, vlctlon of the Governor's right to appoint him to a seat In tho United States Senate, Senator Penrose Is also commended. After Senator Penrose had read the platform and moved Its adoption. Senator Flynn was recognized. Thero was a dls. position to howl Mr. Flynn down, but the chairman insisted on fair play, and there was little disposition after that to inter rupt the Pittsburg Senator. Mr. Flynn opposed the plank advocating Mr. Quay s re-election, because be was Instructed by his constituents not to approvo his candi dacy. "Wo don't Intend to support Colonel Quay," ho said. "Wo believe he has en tirely disappeared from the United States Senate." He then moved that all reference to Mr. Quay's candidacy be stricken out, and demanded a roll-call. Tho motion was lost. 250 to 63. As delegates-at-large. Senator Quay, ex Senator Charles A. Porter and James Elverson, of Philadelphia; B. W. Green, of Emporium; ex-Congressman John H. Lelsenting. of Wllkesbarro; Congressman William Conell, of Scranton; State Chair man Frank Reeder, of Easton, and J. B. Steele, of Wectmoreland. were unanimous ly elected.- DEFENDED PORTO RICAN BILL.

The pro gramme arranged for the opening session of the Republican State Convention was carried out to the letter this afternoon without a note of discord. Chairman J. Frank Hanly was indisposed, and his speech failed to arouse the enthusiasm expected. After he had concluded his speech, he was forced to retire because of his falling voice, and United States Senator Fairbanks became chairman pro tern. Senator Fairbanks spoke in defense ot the vote of the Indiana delegation on the Porto Rlcan measure. He promised In behalf of the Administration generous treatment toward the Porto Rlcans In re spect to their domestic affairs. He dis claimed any protective feature to the new law, and pronounced It purely one ot expediency prompted by humanity. The platform resolutions were then In troduced and adopted unanimously by a rising vote. After Congressman Londls hod respond ed to a call for a speech, the convention adjourned until tomorrow at 0 o'clock. The Impression seemed gradually to gain strength tonight that In case Griffiths shall fall to receive sufficient support, Hogate will receive the vote of the Grif fiths men for Governor. Durban's or ganization is admitted to be very strong, and It was asserted he will be a leader on the first ballot. TAMSIANY TO VOTE FOR BRYAN. Will Attend the Kansas City Con vention In Force.

Myers, ot Ohio, responding to a toast at the banquet of 'the Sunflower League of Kansas, following W, J. Bryan, created a sensation by his utterances. Mr. Bryan did not finish his apch until after 1 o'clock this morning. Mr. Myers drew a dark picture. The country was fast rac ing to destruction, he eald, and Mark Hanna. William McKlnley and Great Britain were driving it. Then, suddenly turning toward Mr. Bryan, the speaker exclaimed: "You may be elected, sir, by a million majority, but they will not permit you to take the Presidential chair. Look at the fate of William Goebel in Kentucky! Men whose pastime la bribery find In murder an amusement. Ohio was bought in 1S36, the country was bought: It. will be bought again in 1SO0, and Mark Hanna's reward for It Is a seat in the United States Sen ate." Tho masses of the country would con tinue to permit the encroachments on the classes, concluded Mr. Myers, until finally too late for a restoration of rights by the ballot. Then the sword and gun. violence, revolution a new order of things. Dewey and Bryan Not to Meet. CHICAGO. April 25. Admiral Dewey will not break bread In Chicago with W. J. Bryan.

NURSE OF THE CIVIL WAR. Harriet Patience Dame, of Kew Hampshire, Is Dead. CONCORD. N. H., April 25. Harriet Pa tience Dame, the famous war nurse, who is dead at her home in this city, began her charitable work at the outbreak of the Civil War. She opened her house as a hospital as soon as the volunteers began to come to Concord. When the Second New Hampshire Regisent went to Ports mouth to be mustered Into service, she persisted in accompanying tho regiment to tnax city, ana wnen tny leu to ao serv ice In the South, she followed. There were only seven other women In the country who did active service in the field as nurses, and ot these Miss Dame was the only one to remain until the war was over. In the Peninsular campaign she shared fortunes with the soldiers, spending her first night In Yorktown In a feed-box in a stable. At the retreat to the James her courago and endurance rose to the height of sub lime heroism. The announcement to the sick men In her care that those who could not walk must be left behind fell upon many as their death knell. Mlai Dame was urged to Join In the retreat and get to a place of safety, but she refused un lets "her boys," as she called them, were taken with her. Finally arrangements were maae to convey the sick ones to the nearest railroad station, and when the army started, MIps Dame was at the head of the column. With feet Incased in rub ber boots, a thin netting of tattered mos quito cloth and with a coffee-boiler and a small amount of cofffc, the brave little army in a march of four days reached a station where a troop was being loaded on ths cars. In the second Bull Run campaign In Cen terville, Mia; Dame was at Stone Church and was taken a prisoner, her captor threatening to shoot her If she did not sur render without protest. She was taken under guard to the tent of Stonewall Jack son, who. after learning Miss Dame's mis sion within the linos, ordered a guard to escort her to the Northern lines. She soon afterword organized the New Hampshire Relief Association, and was sent by Governor Gllmore to South Caro lina to investigate the condition of the Northern soldiers. Mlra Dorothy Dix vig orously protested agalnK the sending ot a woman on such a mission, but Miss Dame was obdurate, and she started on her Jour ney. Tho result of her Investigations, which were reported by her to Surgeon General Barnea, was that the convoys Argo and Fulton were ordered to do duty as hospital boats, and were the first ones used in such service. At the battle of Gettysburg, Miss Dame did valiant service on the field. In the Spring of 1S64 she took the field with the Army on the James. With the surrender of the rebel army she remained with her regiment until the dlsbandment. SUFFERERS BY FLOOD. Families Destitute and Starvlntr No Trains for Ten Days. JACKSON. Miss., April 26.

The Filipinos were quickly put to flight, leaving the field strewn with armor. Their riflemen were unable to shoot straight, and the boio men never got near enough to the Americans to do any ex ecution. Therefore, none of the Ameri cans was wounded.
