called upon to confront greater num-
Der OF enemies in the aggregate, yet
surely 1t is known that we are to be
compelled to contend against greater
variety than ever before.
Not only is the governorship OF the
great State Of Ohio at stake, but this
contest involves more than the COVER
norship, more than the general assem-
bly,, more than the public institutions.
1t reaches out into national politics. A
United States Senator will depend upon
Its result and, more important still than
all this, it will determine whether this
great State Of Ohio is to 90 into the
next great National contest OF 1892, Mt
the head OF the Republican or at the
head OF the Democratic column. APP

Ohio Republicans who opposed Foraker
and wrought his defeat in the last
gubernatorial election was received with
the widest enthusiasm. "There was

NOMINATED WITH A HUnRAH.
81 move you, Mr.. Chairman, that the
rules OF this convention be suspended,
and that by acclamation we nominate
to be our candidate for Governor that
brilliant statesman and soldier and
orator, William Mckinley" Pro-
longed cheers.
Colonel Robert Karl, the colored ora
tor OF Cincinnati, seconded Major Nc
Kinley's nomination "on behalf OF tho
$4,000 coiored voters OF Ohio"
With one wild, hilarious cheer OF
affirmation the convention declared
Major Mckinley nominated for Gov
ernor byncclamation and committee
was appointed to appTise him OF his
nomination and escort him to the hail.
His appearance was the signal for an
other outburst OF enthusiasm.
"Now have the pleasure" said the
chairman, "of introducing to you the
distinguished soldier and statesmen,
your nominee for Governor and your
next Governor, William Mckinley, Jr."
Again the enthusiasm OF admirers OF
the distinguished 0hloans burst forth.
The hero OF the day received his honors
modestly. Simply bowling his oclinowl'
edgments he spoke as follows;
M'RINIEY's SPEECH.
"MR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF
THE CONVENTION: accept the nomina,
tion you have tenderedme, sensible both
OF the honor and responsibility 1t i'm.
plies. g,
The platform which you haveadopted
meets my approval. It'announces with
clearnes3 and courage the great cardinal
doctrines Of the Republican party, while
it proclaims the well considered convic-
tions of Ohio Republicans touching the
newer questions which now confront US,
The Republican party OF Ohio approve
the administration Of President Harri-
son, and extend TO it hearty congratula-
ton.
We are confronted by real danger,
which prudent men Of allparties should
seek to avert before 1t is too late. The
public credit and sound finance must be
preserved, and every scheme to destroy
1t must be met with courage and intelli-
gence and repclled by the mighty force
of public opinion.
Better risk defeat which can be only
temporary, than capitulate with the
dcmagogie, or surrender to dis
honesty. The platform endorses pro-
tective tariff. We have protected Amer
lean products and American labor. So
long as foreign products can be found
to tax which compete with our own
in our market, We propose to tax them
rather than tax our own.
THE TWO PARTIES coYTaAsTED.
The Democratic party profess to tax
the domestic product rather than inn
ported. Their tariff legislation would
benefit every country but our own. We
follow in our tariff policy tho teachings
