Governor RoralaF's Speech.
Once more. he said, he came 10 accept the
nomination which was not according to his
wishes. All his plans and even ambition were
In another direction. but he considered that
the party had the right 10 call him &C any
time. He, therefore. put aside personal feel
ing. He understood the work before him.
He considered 1t q call ofduty TO be q candi-
date for governor and for governor alone
lCheers.l God willing shall be your governor
for the term 70 which am elected. tCheers.l
We have had few as important elections a.
the one approaching. The senatOrship & at
stake. Constitutional amendments are pend
ing. one Of which provides for biennial
elections. This adds greater importance TO
the election. The question is whether Ohio
should be under Republican or Democrats
control nt the time Of the election in 1882. This
is tho preliminary contest Of 1892 The state
must be rcdIsfricted, The single districts viii
have TO be made II another amendment caVr
rics Republicans can do this better than
Democrats.
How Ohio Stands Now.
The reputation OF Ohio was never SO low as
after the last Democratic administration
Ohio never stood higher than Il does now,
Every fund will have a surplus at the end Of
the year. Taxation has not been so low since
1870. Elections pure as not for years before.
The liquor traffic has been wisely regulated
| The disgraceful conduct Of the penitentiary
has been changed till IL Is now the best In the
Union. The benevolent institutions stand
way ahead Of those In all the states. The
Payne election, Cincinnati riot, bankrupt
treasury were seen under the Democratic adj
ministrati0n. Today every man Is proud Of
follow Cleveland to retirement, not only be-
cause he is Democrat, but because Of the dis
grace of his election aud his imbecility In at
tempting to hold on to 1t. A Republican must
be sent TO sit with John Sherman. That is the
| grand work before us
Our Friends, the Enemy.
The man Of destiny from Buffalo is prac-
tieing law. The Democratic party Is without
policy and without principle. They can't
even have meeting of the Democratic CEN
trail committee without disgracefuI scene
One Of their candidates has offered TO stand
on any platform.
At Washington q noble Christian gentle
man presides. Our flag kisses the breeze
We have unity and enthusiasm to lead us for
ward to victory. You helping and God help
ing we shall have a Republican legislature
Republican governor and a Republican
senator Great applause.
Completing the Ticket.
After Foraker's speech the convention
quickly completed its work by nominat-
ing +. l.. Lampson, of Ashtabula
county. for lieutenant governor; Judge
T.. J.. Dickman, Of Cleveland, for
supreme Judge; John G. Brown, of
Jefferson, treasurer; II. III. Hester,
clerk of the supreme court; ID. X. Wat
son, of Franklin, for attorney general;
John Hancock, of Ross, for commits
sioner of schools, and w. NJ. Hahn, for
member of board of public works.
Governor Foraker has received tele-
grams of congratulatlon from all parts
of the country. No other Ohio man
has ever been given four, or even three
consecutive nominations for governor
and his grasp on the people of the state
il apparently stronger than ever. All
Of the anti Foraker men behaved hand
somely in the convention, and the con-
vention seemed to break up in harmony.
IL Is currently reported. however, that
Foraker's enemies among the Ohio dele
cation in congress will quietly knife
him &C the polls.
