At Columbus on June 25 the Ohio Republican state convention nominated Governor George K. Nash for re election and named Carl N. Nigpert as lieutenant governor along with J L Price for Supreme Court, John M. Sheets attorney general, Isaac B. Cameron treasurer, and Dawson E. Emerson clerk of the Supreme Court. The platform endorsed the Philadelphia plank, praised President McKinley, Nash, and Foraker, and urged canal construction, Chinese exclusion act renewal, and Liberal pensions while defending combinations of labor and capital that avoid monopolies. Hanna supporters swept the delegates and gained control of the party machinery, signaling anticipated Nash and Foraker strength and rebuffing Caldwell and the anti Hanna faction.
