Following IL the speech in full;
Gentlemen oithe Convention: | thank
you most profoundly for the distinguished
honor you have conferred upon me. l
more fully appreciate 1t coming from those
who have honored me before, aud Ealso
appreciate the responsibilities and lahors
OF such q position. trust that | may dis.
charge Its duties satisfactorily, and accept
it with a full sense Of your preference,
To the true and tried Republicans OF the
Seventeenth district, who trusted ma when
their Representative, | thank them for
their Endorsement, which will prove one
Of the pleasantest memories Of my life,
Through you | thank the people, and
| also thank the Republican and
Independent prees OF the district
for the indorsement and com.
mendation II has given me. | appreciate
the nomination all tho more because it
was the cordial tender OF the Impoverished
and unpurChasable will OF this great Con.
gressional district, which has no superior
on tho continent. There is no power ia
money to purchase delegates like these
There is none 10 purchase the people.
That class belongs in the Democratic
party where they hava recently been
found, They have no place in the R9pub'
lican party, In justice to myself and the
district, iu the broad sunshine OF this
bright afternoon, in the neighborhood
where l was born, and In the presence Of
men who have known me from my youth
up, | declare that | have done nothing in
this campaign which any honest gentle.
man might not do or have known. APP

Turning to political matters, although l
do not intend to make o political speech,
l say here and now, that tho defeat Of the
Republicans In 1884, laid deep and broad
the foundations for q triumphant victory
In 1878. Ohio LH bsen redeemed since
then. We now have q Republican Gov
ernor, o Republican Supreme Court, o Re.
publican Legislature, and n that Ia not
ameasel with coal oil. While | ana no
prophet, l predict that two yearO hence
we will go up as q great army 10 take the
citadel At Washington, and restore the old
flag OF tho Republican party. There ia a
combination Of circumstances which the
defeat Of the Republican party imposes as
u apeCisl duty.
There arc great question: before the
American people which eau DO solved by
no other party. We made the protective
tariff which had dotted this broad land
with prosperous cities and villages, That
was menlCed by tho shadows from the
National capitol. The Republicans must
90 back to preserve this tariff. The far
mers and the labOring non are suffering.
1t is q question whether tho wool We uss
shall be grown here or in Australia or
| South America. Then there was the SOL
dier. No nation has sver dared to forget
the men who left their homes, their
wives and children, and Went through the
carnage and the battle. Then there are
those who gave their children with their
prayers; they must not be forgotten. lap

Il is not enough that we should pro-
tect capital. The time Is coming when
We must protect labor as vol 80 ito pro.
ducts. We must shut the door against
socialists, against anarchists, communist,
criminals aud paupers from tho shores Of
the orient and other paris Of the world.
Crowds brought here under contract

away from the forge and the mill and the
shop our own countrymen. tOheers, long
