The shot aimed by the -Ohio Re
publican convention at the trusts
seemed to Hash in the pan.
Some eloquent pleas for harmony
were made at the Columbus "peace
conference" yesterday by leaders of
the -warring Republican factions, but
it will be observed that not one of
the belligerents had enough confi
dence in the sincerily of his fellows
to. take the initiative in disarming.

at
The Ohio Valley League of Bi
Metallic clubs which closed a three
days' session at Louisville Thursday,
recommended the re-adoption of the
Chicago platform by the Democratic
party and the re-nomination of Mr.
W. J. Bryan for president. This
year's session of the League was the
most enthusiastic one of its history.
If Mr. Hanna has no more of a
hand in dictating the nomination of
today's convention than he had in
controlling its organization, he will
not have very much to brag about.
Boss Cox of Cincinnati managed to
have his delegation admitted to the
convention, against the protests of
15,000 Hamilton county Republicans,
but the door was closed without cere
mony upon ex-Mayor McKisson and
his friends.
The Columbus convention to-day
"congratulated the Republican party
on the fact that a Republican Con
gress and a Republican Legislature
were the authors of laws forbidding
the organization" of business combi
nations known as trusts and coin
bines," but not a word of praise did
it have for the sturdy efforts of At
torney General Monnett to enforce
the parry's anti-trust laws. Mr.
Monnett should understand that
while Republican anti-trust laws are
good things to shout about during
campaigns, they are never made to
be enforced.
A spark of the warlike spirit that
was his characteristic of old, and
which gave him the quality of a suc
cessful leader, was detected in the
speech of Senator Foraker to the
McKisson delegation from Cuyahoga
county at Columbus yesterday. ''The
day has dawned," said he, "when
the representatives of the Republi
can voters in the state must be heard
in their state conventions. They
must have a vote in the affairs of the
party. Tou are the true representa
tives of the the Republican party in
Cuyahoga-county, and have always
under all circumstances been found
loyal to the party, and I say now
that you ought to have, and I believe
you will have, seats in this conven
tion." But when the time came to
apportion the badges to the contesting
delegations, the McKisson men were
not recognized, and it remains to be
seen what Foraker and his -friends
intend to do about it.
The Labor convention at Columbus
yesterday was attended by 126 dele-
gates from various labor organiza
tions throughout the state. The fol
lowing excellent platform of princi
ples was recommended to Ohio's
political parties for adoption: "Equal
rights for all, special privileges for
none; the adoption of initiative and
referendum; a more rigid examina
tion of workshops, mines and homes;
liability of employers for injury to
health, body or life; equal pay for
equal work for male and female;
abolition of the sweating system;
municipal ownership of all public
" utilities; national ownership of tele
graphs, telephones, railroads and all
public highways; abolition of con
vict labor; abolition of government
by injunction." A proposition to
place an independent ticket in the
field was voted down. As the best
of the principles advocated by the
Labor convention will appear in the
platform of the Ohio Democracy this
year, there will be no necessity for
an independent ticket.
