non. WILLIAM M'KINLEY's SPEECH.
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTIONS: i am
profoundly grateful for the honor conferred
upon me In selecting me 10 preside oyer this
great convention of deliberate Republicans.
We have assembled here to put In nomination
u ticket for the suffrage of tho people of Ohio
in October, and all-highcr thnn alto select
| of Ohio in tho National Republican Conven-
| tion which meets in Chicago June 3D. to noml-
| nate President of tho United states
we have nothing to fear for the future but
| from ourselves. We have nothing to fear
| from our old enemy, for he is already on the
| courage always displayed by tho Republican
party to achieve as great n victory as we won
four years ago for that great statesman,
We have nothing to DO ashamed of In the
record of our party: There is nothing in that
| record that we would blot out if we could:
| there is not page in the twcn y-fivc years
history of the purity that we would etrnce
IL VIC could. The Republican party held
is, first convention in Philadolphin in
platform of principles that to-day seems
] more like an inspired prophecy than like q
| political platform. Tho Republican party said
| in loj that this is q Nation and Is indissolubc
| We have demonstrated by subsequent events
that the declaration was true. The Republic
| can party said that slavery and polygamy
were twin relics OF barbarism Since then
| slavery has gone out in the blaze of civil war
Polygamy must go next. In 1856 we said
| that we must build National railI DAD
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This
has since been done New York is to-day
within six days of San Francisco. We said
the Union must be preserved We did 1t al
| tho cost of the lives of half q million of young
men. We havo to-day Nation respected al
| home and abroad Tho difference between
the Republican and Democratic party is that
tho Republican party never made a promise
that it has not kept The Democratic party
never made promise that it has kept. The
| democratic party is laggard. The people
| don't like iaggards aud shams. The Demo
| cratic party is both. 1t Is always five or SIX
years behind the Republican party. In lsIs
| the Democratic party in Ohio for tho first TIME
| declared itself opposed to secession--declaret
| itself opposed TO secession eight years after
secession had been shot down by millions o
is trying to-day to re.enact the tariff o
twenty years ago. The Democrats said las
they done W il They said that at they Would @ dr., re
store the wool tariff of 1867. They have failc
in both. But, gentlemen, do not intend t
make n speech. / propose to ask you what
your WILL and proceed with the order of bus
ness us fxed by your committee"
