THE CANDIDATES.
The candidates this day r.omir.ate^ are men of
ability, character and tested experience in the
lmbiia service. They •discharged their duties
co wen that th*lr election will of itself assure the
State that There will be no interruption in the
fclph efficiency of th*!r respective departments.
We rightly renominate for Governor Myron T.
Herrick, not merely to follow a wiie custom, but
because his honest, efficient, bufiinessllke adminis
tration entitles him to this recognition and Quali
fies him still better to serve the Btate. His oftVlal
responsibilities were increased ar.d made more 'lirn
cult as the first Governor of Ohio vested witn the
veto power, which was diecrlulnatlßKly employed
and always for the public welfare. It Is the yer
6\rt of his party that sincerely patrlotio motives
have actuated him. Realizing this, the Republi
cana of.Ofrlo, after two years 1 observation and
dlfK-UMlob. hav 8 decided that it i* due the party,
the gtate and tbe publlo welfare to re-elect mm.
I'non this declaration of principles and this rec
ord of results achieved, the Republican party ap
pemls .'<pain to the people of Ohio, with full eonri

The motion of Senator Dick for the adoption

Mr. Doyle, of Lucas County, who said he was
nuthorized by the resolutions committee to pre-
F?nt a supplemental report, read a resolution
approving and indorsing the 1 constitutional
amendment «n taxation, and moved that it be
made a part cf the regular platform. It was
ndopted. A second resolution approving the
election amendment to the constitution was pre
sented bjr General J. W. Kiefer and adopted.
The explanation of Chairman Taft was that by
Buch action the Btate committee was authorised
to have the word ""yes" printed opposite the con
stitutional amendments on the official ballot*
Suitable resolutions regarding the death of
ex-Governor George K. Nash were presented by
Senator Dirk and adopted.
When Chairman Taft called for nominations
for Governor,. Paul Howland, of Cleveland, who

cheers. On motion of H. M. Daugherty, a com
mittee, consisting of Mr. Daugherty. George B.
Cox, of Cincinnati, and Congressman Burton,
of Cleveland, was appointed by the chair to tell
Mr. Herrick of his nomination. While waiting
the return of the committee Judge Elam Fisher
presented the name of General A. L.- Harris for
Lieutenant Governor. The nomination of Gen
eral Harris was made by acclamation.
The committee escorting Governor Herrick ap
peared and after the applause had subsided Mr.
Daugherty in a few words presented to the
convention its candidate for re-election as Gov
ernor, who spoke as follows:
Last November the thundering voice of the peo
ple of this State spoke for Theodore Roosevelt ano
the Republican party. Great as was the popularity
of our t.-ourageous President, the body and strength
of that majestic tidal wave were the enduring prin
ciples of the party o? Lincoln and McKinley. Are
we Republicans of Ohio prepared a year later to
allow our State to speak in feebler tones for thu
party, that otands as no other party ever i<tooa
lor prosperity, for honest government, lor greater
America? We want it distinctly understood that
tho campaign this year begins -where we lefton
lut=t year. We Republican* of Ohio ptand for The
odore Roosevelt, ani we stand for everything ho
stands for. We purpose to discuss national ques
tions in the coming campaign. \Ve intend to drive
home to every voter the patrloUo duty ho owes In
sustaining and strengthening the splcudid fight the
President is now making for the observance of law
not only by public officials, but by the great cor
porations as well-the corporations that control tho
transportation facilities and tho food supply of
°Tn P OhTd e to-day. and in all the States, there Is a
growing evil which gravely threatens to destroy
the freedom of action which is the most important
concern of the representatives of the people in the
executive department of the government I refer
to the, professional lobby. Tho people of Ohio ia
the rna&ng- of their laws are entitled to the best
judgment of all their representatives In the Gen
eral Assembly, as well as that of their chief ex
ecutive and they are entitled to this judgment
free and untrammelled by any Importunities from
ppecial Internets. 1 care not what the purpose of
the lobbyists may be. nor whether their object be
eood or bad, it is subversive of the basic principles
upon which American institutions are founded to
permit a few men to direct or control legislation,
and to put their Judgment as to what is best for
the people against that of the representatives 01
the people, ejected for the sole purpose of regietei -
mr their will. I must not be understood as criticis
ing those who appear before legislative committees
In proper and legitimate ways to advocate or op
p«HS legisiaUon. for In this way the. General Assem
bly is often vory materially aided in its work, fcut
tlie professional lobby should go. and the General
Assetnbl/ of Ohio must be free from Its inter
ference, free from the Interference of those who
have only personal or selfish ends to serve, wnetner
rood or t»a<l. and free to b» what the constitution
lntenfii=— agent and servant of the people, in
6hapinß into the form of law the expression of
their soveiflg-n will. I purpose to recommend to
tha naxt Oer.eral Assembly such action as will
forever clear the chambers of the Senate and
House, and the Capitol itself, of this baneful ln
fluenoe. for 1 want to see thai day come In Ohio
when eJI responsibility for the enaotment ani a-.j
proval of laws shall rest with tho*e upon whom
the constitution impesca th* duty, ana with no one
elso.
After finishing his prepared ppeerh Governor
Herrtck threw a?ide his manuscript, and, after
again heartily expressing his thanks for the
honor conferred on him, he assured the dele
gates that at the end of his second term he
vouVJ again be In the ranks fighting- for tha
Republican party.
The remainder of the ticket was quickly
chosen, and, after selecting the eagle as the
party emblem and authorizing the State Cen
tral Committee to fill any vacancies, the con
vention adjourned sine die.
Governor Myron T. HerrlaU Is in his flfty-flrst
year. Ho Is a native of the Buckeye State, and
was educated there, receiving: his collage training
at Oberllr. College and Ohio Wesleyan University.
He was admlttat to the bar in 1878. but retired from
active practlc* In 18*6 to become secretary and

GOBMAff PREPAEES FOR A FIGHT.
Will Sacrifice Candidates to Carry Negro
Disf ran chisement .
(BY TBI^EOEAPH TO THE THIBCKB. J
Baltimore, May X. — Senator Gorman Instilled fnto
the members of the Democratic State Committee
at its meeting to-day the necessity of putting forth
every effort to carry the negro disfranchisernent
constitutional amendment at the polls this falL
Governor Warfield, who is opposed to certain feat
ures of th« amendment, although invited with other
I>emocratic leaders to attend to-day's meeting, was
conspicuous by his abs«ac*. The relations between
him and the other party chiefs are strained be
cause of his opposition to their plan. His stand
against it will undoubtedly Increase the opposition
among the independent Democrats. Senator Ray
ner's presence indicated that he will pull with
Gorman in the great fight.
The keynote of the talk was tho general demand
that the campaign on the amendment anal] be made
to a certain extent independent of that for the
candidates, sacrificing them if necessary, and that,
bo far as possible, it b» on non-partisan lines,
drawing the line on the color question.
CHINESE ARE "BLUFFING."
Merchants Not Intending to Boycott
American Goods. Conger Says,
IBT TgI,KORAPH TO THF. THIBCNT. I
Leavenworth, Kan., May 25. — Edwin H. Con
ger, ex-Minister to China, is visiting his daugh
ter at the fort, on th,i way to his neiv post In
Mexico.
"The talk of th« Chinese merchants retalt>
at ing agalti.nt the exclusion law by boycotting
American made goods is amusing to me," said
Mr. Conger this afterrv»n. "Of course, you kno'p
how American politics is run. Well, the Chinese
were politicians before America wac disordered,
"While much of this agitation and talk has
occurred since I left China, there was some prior
to that. At these mass meetings of merchants,
as they were called, there vra,s a liberal sprink
ling of politicians, and possibly one or two mer
chants who Lad been rung in. Tho politicians
did most of the talking, and then the news was
spread broaden lit that the merchants would boy
cott American goods.
"I believe that ttie truth of the matter is that
the Chinese merchants have no Idea of boy
totting American goods. Thoy are in business
1o make money, and if Am*riran goods are de
manded ihat is what they will handle. There Is
a great difference between the merchants of
China and the coolies, and it is the coolies that
are affected most by this exclusion law. The
merchants are not bothering their heads about
It. for the coolies ara far beneath their atten
tion."

WEAVER'S DIRECTORS WIN
ContlnneA from Bwt page.
was District Attorney. The friends o« the Mayor
are bitter In their denunciation of the insolent
audacity- of the ringleaders. They denounce
Durham and Penrose in the fierce language oi
Danton, when he declared In the Legislative As-
Kembly'of 1792: "De l'audace. encore ds 1 au
daco, et toujours do l'audace."
Durham, the leader of the organisation, is
directing the fight from his eyrie office over
looking the City HalL His followers flocked to
his offloe all day. Orders were sea*, out to the
member* at the Council to stand fast. Dv L*ur»
records that when a tribunal called on Louis
XIV to protest against certain legislative en
actments one of the members of the commission
said: "The King and the state." Louis Inter
rupted him and said! "I am the state."
One of Durham's visitors to-day paid to him:
"Are you not afraid that the people will becomo
aroused and express their disapproval at the
polls?" Durham turned on him like a flash and
said, sneeringly, with an explosive Intonation
that made the slang all the more plain: 'The
people! Why. we're xhe people!"
Mayor Weaver is absolutely undismayed.
Backed by publlo sentiment and advised by
JBllhu Root, ex-Secretary of War, ana ex-Judge
Gordon, he intends to fight the battle to a
finish. He has received to-day messages from
all parts of tho country. Indorsing his stand
and offering him aid. There Is no doubt
that the organization is well Intrenched. They
have taken for their motto the famous one
adopted by Theirs for the Nationale of 1808.
"The king reigns but does not govern," but
since the Supreme Court Issued the writ of
supersedes* to»day. there has been very little
talk ot impeaching the Mayor.
OS"FICIAXS FORCED OUT.
The day has bean on© of activity and Interest
with the city government. On© of the first acts
of Mayor Weaver thin morninjr was to visit
personally, accompanied by a police escort, the
offices of Costello and Smyth and to eject them.
Theso directors, under the injunction secured,
returned to their offices this morning. Mayor
Weaver interpreted the injunction to mean that
his new appointees could not exercise the func
tions of their office, but, at the same time, that
it In no manner reinstated the deposed officials.
Both Costello and Smytii bowed to the Mayor's
Interpretation of the injunction sjid left their
desks. When the Supremo Court later issued
the writ of supersedeaa both Potter and Acker
took, active charge of the departments, and are
in full control to-night. Costello and Smyth,
Penrose and Durham and the other organization
leaders have been In consultation all the after
noon and evening, but they have issued no
Btatement as to their future plans.
Just before Mayor Weaver left his office,
shortly after 5 o'clock this evening, the follow
ing interview took plare:
"Will there be any dismissals under the rein
stalled directors?"
"I will not discuss that question jußt now."*
"Will Superintendent of Polios Taylor be d!#
mlssed?'*
"I don't care to say."
"Will resignations be asked from Assistant
Director of Public Safety Alexander Colvllle and
Assistant Director of Public Works William H.
Baker?"
"I'm afraid I can't discuss these matters Just
row."
"What did you think of the popular demon
stration tendered you In Broad-st. to-day?"
"I was mortified. I felt as though I wanted
to drop out of notice somewhere. Of course. It
was an honor, and I feel very grateful for it."
PROMISES FROM COUNCILMEN.
"Have you received any assurances from
councilmen that they will change their votes
on the gas lease?"
"Both directly and Indirectly I have reoelved
such assurances. I don't care to give any fig
ures, but the results have been gratifying:."
"Do you propose to call a special meeting of.
Council* and send them a message on the dis
missal of Directors Smyth and Costelio and
the appoiatxneai of their successors?"
"L don't care to answer that question."
"Has tha gas lease ordinanos been killed?"
"I sincerely hope so. If it has not been, the
fight will go on. If the lease ordinance has not
been killed a great many people in Philadelphia
will be sorry for It."
The situation is daily growing more tense. In
all sections of the city the reform organizations
and the newspapers have aroused citizens to
take a hand in the fight. The Councilmen who
favor the gas lease are being swamped with
protests, and delegations of neighbors are call-
Ing on them at their various homes or places of
business or aru holding them up on the streets.
Many of*them reply that they are for the lease
so long as the "peerless leader," as Commis
sioner Durham Is called by the organization
men, is for it.
DIRECTORS SEXD LETTERS.
After the two directors were dismissed they
sent identical letters to the Mayor, which read:
In your letter of this date you assume what 1«
yet to be decided by the court under the pro
ceedings Instituted by me, viz.. that I have been
removed from office, and you assert an Intention
to do what I am advised will be contempt of
court. Unless it is decided to the contrary. I will
assort my right to discharge the duties of my
office, from which, as yet, as I am advised. I
have not been removed; but in view of your
threat of violence and of my desire that there
shall be an orderly determination by a Judicial
tribunal of a lesal question. I will do nothing
which will bring about a breach of the peace.
At the close of the day's business newspaper
men sought interviews from the new officials.
Colonel Potter, in charge of the Public Safety
Department, said:
I found the police to be a fine body of men In
uniform. Of course, that was on the surface.
We might get below the surface later on. I
know many men in the service and I believe
them to be good men. 1 will say, however, that
the police must not mix In politics when they
ought to be doing their duty. If they violate
that rule it will be considered a very serious
matter. I have given no thought to removals
or the shifting of the men, because I have not
yet acquainted myself with conditions. No man
will be removed without cause, and the sole*
criterion will be fidelity to duty. So far aa It
lies in my power, this will be a peoples adminis
tration.
Mr. Acker, In charge of the Department of
Public "Works, had nothing to say. He referred
all interviewers to the Mayor.
With the exception of the time he went to
Inncheon the Mayor did not leave the City Hall
from early in the morning until 6 o'clock. He
spent the day going over plans for future action
and in preparing to fight ihe Injunction in the
County Court. Many prominent lawyers and
men called on him either to assist him or con
gratulate him for his attitude in the struggle.
It vrfis reported to-day that President Roose
velt will be asked to issue a special warning to
federal employes to keep out of the gas lease
fight. It Is charged by some of the anti-gas
lease people that the organiaation is calling
upon federal officeholders to use their influence
with councilmen in behalf of the gas lease.
This is denied by organization leaders. Leaders
against the organization say that they know
that government employes are bringing pressure
to bear on the councilmen, and that if it con
tinues a delegation of citizens will go to Wash
ington to see the President.
Among the letters and telegrams of congratu
lation Mayor Weaver received to-day, he made
public these:
I congratulate you on the firm stand you
have taken In behalf of the people,
EDWARD F. DUNNE,
Mayor of Chicago.
Your Btond against corruption thrills all de
cent Republicans. This club bids you godspeed
In your cause, and adds that such acts as yours
rank you with Roosevelt, La Follette and Folk

ATTACKS SECRET LOBBY.
La FolUtte Sends Message Urging
Law Against It.
Madison, Wls.. May 25.— Governor Lafollett*
to-day sent to the legislature a message urging
legislation that would destroy secret lobbying.
He strongly denounces "the impudent railway
lobby," which, he says, has cost the State mill
ions of dollars in the last six years, and has
been a nuisance and disgrace in the legislative
halls of the State.
The Senate recently killed the Johnson bill,
drawn along the lines of the Governor's recom
mendation, but a new measure will now be pre
sented.

Gentlemen :—: —
Replying to your letter atkhg if my Orcheftrelie is satisfactory. I b^ tears to say
that it it eminently so, and I am well enough pleated with 'l to sign about anything in the
<way of a commendation. It is a great thing to have an instrument that w:ll render >he
thoughts o( Morart. or Mend;ls«ohji, or Handel ; it is also a great p!-asure to be able to
reproduce the orcheltral music of Wagner. Bach, and Tschaikowsky. But my Orche*
trelle seems equally adapted to the rich, classical music oi the mailers and the h;hter
compositions that have the sparkle of champagne and the flavor oi a good eeclttZ /
have net made an investment that affords our family rrtater delight thin this

TARIFF FIGHT COMING.
Contmned from flnt pace.
fenslve, may be effected which will successfully
oppose any Important legislation affecting
either the tariff or the railway problem.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM PLAN.
A third strong factor In promoting considera
tion of the tariff in the coming Congress will
be Germany's determination to strike a blow at
American Imports by means of a dual tariff.
Reciprocity effected by treaty hr^ been clearly
demonstrated to be impracticable. This hcys
been repeatedly stated in those dispatches, and
that it has been abandoned by the administra
tion is clearly Bhown by Secretary Shaw's refer
ence to it in his recent speech before the Cleve
land Chamber of Commerce, where he said:
"But there are those In this country, I am
told, who favor material reductions in present
tariffs on merchandise coming from certain
countries and the enforcement of present rates
as against others. I think they call this reci
procity." <
Those who first perceived the impracticability
of reciprocity by trsaty have, however, been
making a careful study of the maxiaium and
minimum tariff system, and, so far as they have
gone, they have approved of it. Senator Lo<lge
has already declared his advocacy of this plan,
and Senator Aldrich has admitted his, while it
may be added that Senator Spooner regards It
with a kindly eye. All three of these influential
Senators, all members of the Finance Commit
tee, are now in Europe, where they can observe
the workings of the dual system at close range,
and it is entirely probable that when they re
turn to this country thoy will have gathered
Important information regarding the merits and
demerits of the system.
That the dual system will play an important
part in the first real discussion of the tariff
schedules is assured. It affords a method of
retaliation not possessed with the lnelastto sys
tem now In use, and. It seems to offer oppor
tunities for extending the foreign trade <>f the
United States, which It was sought to effect by
reciprocity treatl««. pot which might have been
attained by them had they not proved impossi
ble of ratification.
