Protection.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALpI
| New YoRK, June 29.-The Metropoli-
tan Opera House was crowded from the
outermost edge Of the topmost gallery to
the farthest extremity Of the stage with
Republicans who had gathered under
the auspices of the Republicans Of this
city, to ratify the nomination of Harrison
and Morton. Hundreds who tried to
gain admission were unable to do so.
The presiding officer was Edward o.
Bartlett. In opening the meet
ing he spoke in warm
praise of the Republican platform,
and the candidates who stand on it. He
said the issue before the people was that
Of protection to American industry, and
on that issue the Republicans were sure
to win.
The first speaker of the evening was
Congressman Horr. Of Michigan. He was
received with applause, which was in
creased when he said: II come to you
from the far West simply for the purpose
Of saying to you people Of the East tina
we intend to join hands with you in re-
deeming the United States Of America"
Continuing, he said II sat delegate
though it did not select the man 1
favored, 1t did it's work fairly and we'll.
The platform gives us the clear-cut issue
lof protection to the
INDUSTRIES OF AMERICA.
The Issue has been narrowed down to
J the question, which can better manage
} this Nation, the Republican clubs Of this
country or the Golden Climb Of England ?"
At this point General Sherman entered
and was quietly taking his seat in a box,
when he was perceived by the audience
and greeted with cheers that continued
, for several minutes.

: General Harrison may be proud Of his

J his ancestors were, and in this instance We
i can all pay respect to our candidate for
living up to what his ancestors were and
being equal to them. Democrats have
told us that this is not to be personal

In this (hisses), but we have an issue
which is plain and distinct, and we arc

' up OF the United States. Michigan has
been taken out Of this list Of doubtful
States. So far as ! know, the Democrats
do not claim Oregon. Many other States
will be given up by the Demo-

said last night they were not for free

reasons why the Democratic party cam

Indiana veterans themselves will insure
his success against the ticket headed by
Cleveland, who vetoed so many soldiers
bills and gave ridiculous and insulting
reasons for his actions. Now,

Yes, you start in the campaign with
out dissenting voice and you cannot
help winning. Let East and West unite.

the field is good one. The Democratic
party is too weak everywhere and
especially in its lack of business sense. y
The speaker ended by criticixing the
action OF the Administration in reference.
to the Canadian fishery question, aud
demanded that the country should have
an Administration that should sssure
National dignity and be thoroughly
American.

gret at his inability to be present was
read.

Was then introduced and was warmly
greeted. He said when Presidential
candidate Is put up most people always
claim they were with him from the start.

him. They are anxious to be with the
procession. 4 will be frank with you"
said he, 'and say was not working for
the successful ticket in this instance but
there is something in American blood
which bows to the will Of the majority.

Col. Ingersoll then reviewed the work
Of the Convention and platform, Re-
ferring to the protection plank, he said:

dependent OF the world. / want this
country so itcan live, If at war with the
whole world. For my next reason.
