OHIO REPUBLICANS
Crates and Appeals--The Platform.
IRY United Press

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 16.-The Re-
day, aud Ex Governor Foraker was
elected temporary chairman. He made
a long address, referring to last years
contest as "a slaughter all along the
line" He appealed to those who must
have victim to place all the blame of
the last campaign on him, whether just
or unjust to do SO.
Gov Foraker endorsed the national
election bill and the PRESIDENT, Secre-
tary Blaine, Speaker Reed, Senator
Sherman and Representative Mckinley.
The greater part of the address was
devoted to Ohio politics, but nothing
was said about the ballot box scandal
of the last campaign. His peroration
was an appeal to the party to unite in
overthrowing the present democratic
rule in the State.
The nomination of a candidate for the
board of public works brought out the
only contest of the day. FrankMcCollach
was declared the nominee by acclama-
ton. The only business then remaining
was the adoption of platform, and Con
gressmen Morey, the chairman Of the
committee on resolutions, presented
report, which after endorsing the re-
publican national platform of 1888, and
the administration of President Harrison
paid Ex-Governor Foraker the compli-
| ment he had come here to receive, by
declaring his last administration to have
| been wise, judicious and economical
The platform endorsed the silver bill
and the Fedrral election bill, and de
manded protection for American wool
It denounced the Democratic State gov
ernment, favored liberal pension bills
and wound up with resolution of sor
row at the death of the Republican
party's first leader, Gen. Jno. @. Ere
mont.

FORAKER'S SPEECH.

"FOOL FORAKER" WHO gesticulated
with the hand that MRS. CLEVELAND
sensibly refused to shake, presided as
temporary chairman of the Republican
State Convention in Ohio yesterday.
He made characteristic speech, be-
ginning by saying:
We did not come out of the last con-
test very well. We lost the Governor
ship, the General Assembly, and the
United States Senatorship; the three
great objective purposes of the canvass;
and later, as a consequence, We lost also
the Lietenant Governorship, the con-
troll Of all the State institutions, and,
only time and the next election can tell,
how many representatives in Congress.
1t was slaughter, not only for the head
of the ticket, but all along the line. A
great many people got hurt who did not
even dream OF such a thing-whO sup
posed they were entirely out OF harms
way.
He declared that it was useless to re-
pine, but that if the party must have a
victim his appeal was "place the blame
on me-"
He denounced everything the Demo
Gratis had done, and praised everything
the Republicans had done; praised HAIR

FRANCE has imposed a duty of three
francs equal to eighty cents bushel
on American corn in retaliation for the
advance made in the MCKINLEY bill
upon French articles imported into
America. The farmer has to pay the
tax upon the French articles whether he
uses them or not because she American
manufacturer adds to the tariff the
selling price; and now the farmer is not
allowed to ship his flour to France. And
yet some men who do not know the a. b.

tax does not amount to anything. They
