spices Of the Republican Club of this city to
ratify the nominations of Harrison and Nor

Bartlett. In opening he spoke in warm
praise of the Republican platform and can
didates. The first speaker was Ex-Con-
gresham Roswell G. Horr Of Michigan,
who was received with applause and cheers
which increased when he said: 81 come to
you from the West simply for the purpose of
saying to you people of the East that we in
tend to join hands with you in redeeming
the United States of America. The plat
form gives us the clear cut issue of protec-
tion to the industries of America. The issue
has been narrowed down to the question
which can manage the nation, the Republi-
can clubs Of the country or the Golden club
of England. Enthusiastic applause
believe In building up our own country. The
history Of England does not inspire me
with enthusiasm. She's a blood sucker. al
ways for herself, never for u.s."
AT this point, Gen. Sherman entered aui-
city, taking a seat in box. When he was
perceived he was greeted with cheers for
several minutes and the band played "Hail
to the Chief"
Mr.. Horr, continuing, said: 1--WE in
Michigan, raised 100000 pounds of wool
last year. They want to put that on the free
list. We cut 100000 feet Of lumber in
Michigan last year. This they want to p-s
on the free list. 1t is the same With IRON
and copper, yet they say Michigan may go
Democratic. She wont do it. Michigan has
been taken out of the list of doubtful States
Many other States will be given W, by the
want is protection for all our industries"
