The hero OF the day received his honors mod
estly. Simply bowling his Acknowledgements he
spoke as follows:
MAY. M'RINLEY's SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE.
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen Of the con-
vention: accept the nomination you have
rendered me, sensible both of the honor and
the responsibility it implies. The election
this year is of unusual importance, not only
because it determines the political character Of
the administration OF the state for the coming
two years, but because it involves the
choice of legislature. whose duty it
will be to elect United States Senator,
who will continue for six years from March f.
1928. and whose further duty it will be to dis
trict the state for representatives in Congress
under the new census, and wipe from the stat
ute books the crime against republican suffrage
perpetrated by the present democratic legisla-
ture. Happily we present party in Ohio
without division in its ranks, without break
in its lines.
ADMINISTRATION AND PLATFORM APPROVED.
''The platform which you have adopted meets
my approval. 1t announces with clearness
and courage the great cardinal doctrines of
the republican party, while it proclaims the
well-considered convictions of Ohio republi-
cans touching the newer questions which now
confront us.
1.-The republican party of Ohio approves the
administration of President Harrison and ex-
tend to it hearty congratulation. 1t has been
clean, conservative, able and patriotic. II has
been wise in its domestic policy and thoroughly
American In its foreign. It has Won the conf
dence Of the people at home; ii commands uni
versal respect abroad.
The party is in favor of a regulated immi-
grafton, of liberal pensions to our soldiers and
sailors, to a sound currency. 1t is in favor Of
gold and silver and also paper money based
upon coin, all equal and at all times inter-
ehangeable; equal in fact and equal in law.
I'VE are confronted by a real danger which
prudent men of all parties should seek to avert
before it is too late. The public credit and
sound finances must be preserved and every
scheme to destroy them must be metwith courage
and intelligence and repealed by the mighty
force Of public opinion. Better risk defeat,
which can be only temporary, than capitulate
with the demagogue or surrender to dishonesty.
1.-THE platform indorses a protective tariff.
We have protected American products arc
American labor. So long as foreign PROD ,:cis
can be found to tax, which compete WITH on
own in our market, we propose to ia: t:.e:::
rather than tax our own. The democratic
party prefers to tax tie domestic
product rather than the i'm, crtef Their
country but our own. We follow
in our tariff policy the teachings of Washing
ton and Hamilton and Clay and Webster and
Lincoln and Garfield. They pursue the falla-
cies of Golden and Bright and Calhoun and
the statesmen Of the late southern confederacy.
They are pledged now to impede. if they can.
the prosperity of the country until after the
next presidential election. That is their mis-
sion this year. Business disaster and
reverses are the ladder of their
hopes: prosperity and contentment among the
people bringing them sure political defeat.
Idle furnaces, disinantled factories, silent
mines. unemployed workmen, general distress
are the sure harbingers of democratic
victory. They are Encouraging indus
trial activity through their press and
orators everywhere and every day, and it
breaks their hearts to see any manifestation
of industrial advancement in the United States.
They sneer at every attempt to establish new
factories and would gladly frown them down.
II is the same sheer and frown which have
been exhibited toward our industrial enter
prises since 1861. But in spite of them we
now lead the world in manufactures, agricul-
ture and mining, and we will prosper under
the new law in spite of their false omens and
dlscoura8lng prophesies.
THE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.
'They insist that we cannot make tin plate
SO they said about steel rails, they said about
plate glass and cutlery and pottery, and when
you take them to the factory and show them
that we are making tin plate they assert with
intense pleasure that We are only making "a
little
This is true. but how much should we be
making? That we are making any is the surprise.
for the protective duty on tin has not yet gone
into effect and will not until the LIST Of July.
CITIES SEEKING MANUFACTURES.
''Refect for moment-there is no section of
the country, north or south, which is not seek
ing by every manner Of inducement to get
manufactures established in their midst They
are giving donations they are Offering bounties.
in some communities they are taxing them
selves and burdening their property for the
sake Of securing industries which will employ
labor and enlarge their neighborhcod markets
In the south, the great center of free
trade. they are offering freedom from
taxation for ten and twenty years TO those who
will bring their capital and invest in produc-
tive enterprises, and this by authority Of state
