Johnson of Pueblo was chosen perma
nentchairman. The committee on plat
form and resolutions was appointed,
after which the convention proceeded to
the selection of delegates at large. Sena
tors Edward O. Wolcott, Henry M. Tel
ler and Congressman Townsend were put
in nomination. The delegates seemed to
go wild at the mention of these names.
They cheered for several minutes and
when order was restored their nominations
were seconded by every delegate in the
convention, and the gentlemen were de
dared unanimously elected. This means
Harrison in all probability’ will not receive
the vote of the Colorado delegation at
Minneapolis. Hon. J. L. Bruss was
unanimously selected as the fourth
delegate. After the selection of alter
nates the convention took a recess.
Buckeye Republicans
Cleveland, April 27. —The republican
state convention met here today. Judge
King, in introducing Chairman Griffin,
contrived to name, before anybody else.
Gov. McKinley, bringing out tremendous |
applause. When he referred later to
Secretary Blaine an uproar of applause
followed from all sides of the hall. Pres
ident Harrison’s name was also liberally
cheered. Chairman Griffin, however,
later brought in a warm reference to ex-
Gov. Foraker and bedlam broke loose
again. After the reading of the various
committees, Daugherty of Fayette moved
to adjourn until tomorrow so the delegates
could attend the ball game. The motion
was unanimously carried and the hall was
deserted in an instant.
