MADE UNANIMOUS.
Governor Foraker then took the platform
amid enthusiastic cheers and said:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: The
delegation from Ohio came here all Sherman
men; they are now all Harrison men. lap
plause.l 1t is easier for us to be so
when we remember that General Harri-
son had the good sense to be born in Ohio.
ILaughter.] l am directed by the unanimous
vote Of the Ohio delegation to move the con-
vention, on behalf of the State of Ohio, that
the nomi nation of General Benjamin Harrison
be made unanimous [Applause.]
Foraker's motion. He hoped that the conven-
ton would be unanimous But" he said, 'we
will stand by Harrison just as firmly as we
have stood by Alger. Some people did not
think that can see the hand of Providence
in this nomination. We hoped to place a SOL
der at the head of the ticket. The convention
has done it: now let us go home and ratify it."
Senator Farwell, on behalf of Illinois, also
seconded the motion of Governor Foraker.
Chauncey M. Depew also seconded Foraker's
motion. He said that this convention would
adjourn in different temper from any other
convention in a quarter of a century. No can
ddate before the convention expected
to succeed, and no one was disap-
without heart-burntngs, but as full of en-
thusiasm as they were when they came here.
New York was the cosmopolitan State of the
Union. Men of other States, whenever they
got too big for their own commonwealth,
went to New York, and when New York
found man too large for his own COM
monwealth, and he would not move, she
adopted him. New York had adopted Ben
jamin Harrison, and voted for him solidly.
Applause. In conclusion M. Depew pre-
dicted an od-time victory for Republicanism,
for Republican principles and for the salvation
of the industrial interests of the country. Zap
plause.
General Hastings, of Pennsylvania, said that
he was also authorized to second the motion to
m va NO T0i n III cxI

publican candidate and it has that and per-
haps more. for Harrison.
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, also seconded the
motion.
Mr.. Boutelle, of Maine, gave assurance of the
heartiness, cord ality and enthusiasm with
VIII oh. the people of Maine would ratify Cen
eral Benjamin Harrison. He promised that
the old refrain would come down from Name
as it did in days gone by, when another Harri-
son was in the field.
"Oh! Have you heard from Maines
She went hell-bent
For Governor Kent
And Tippecanoe and Tyler too!'
He promised his State to the Republican
party, and declared that in the forefront of
battle would be found CLEAN ng, it had IN
every critical fight of the Republican party, the
white plume of our Henry of Navarro.
Creed Raymond, of California and Senator
Davis of Minnesota, seconded the motion to
make the nomination unanimous. The clerk
