THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1900.
NO BREAK IN OHIO
Hanna Slate Went Through
the State Convention.
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.

constrains us to recede from the high posi
tion then taken on questions before the

supported to meet the exigencies of a new

"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

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.
Fairbanks to Indiana Republicans
Prospect for Governor.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 25. 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.

vention In Force.
NEW YORK. April 25. The Tammany
men are making arrangements to go to
Kansas City In force to attend the Na
tional convention, which meets there on

Sir. Myers Has a Nightmare.
WICHITA. Kan.. April 25. Allen O.
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.

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.

bring details of a fight April 16 In which
SO Filipinos were killed. The American
outposts reported 300 natives assembled
three miles from the town and General
Bell sent three detachments of the Forty
fifth Regiment with two Maxims, who
nearly surrounded the Filipinos, the ma
jority of whom are armed with bolos and
wore carabao hide helmets, coats and
shields. 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.
Lieutenant Batch, with 20 cavalrymen
from the Thirty-seventh Regiment, cor
nered 50 bolo men In a river and shot every
one. the bodies floating away. One sol
dier had his head struck off with a bolo.

brane. Wherever there Is a mucous'mem
brana there catarrh may exist.
Peruna is not a cure-all. It cures ca
tarrh. This Is all that Is claimed for it.
