Thoroughly believing that gold and silver

Foster on Finance.
Secretary Foster sent letter to be
| read, of which the following is an ex-
| tract: AT the outset the secretary an
alyZed the increased appropriations of
| the last congress, and insisted that they
were justified by sound policy. OF the
| S170,0O0.000 of increase in appropria-
tions,. nearly S23,0O0,000 was for the
postal service, and this, he said, simply
represented the growth of the country
Tor two years. Nearly two-thirds of the
entire Increase was due 10 an in
crease of the pension list. The Dem
ocratS, in opposing and criticising the
large appropriations, were directly

pensions. Answering the talk about
a bankrupt treasury, secretary

two years we will have money enough
TO meet all governmental expenditures.
The secretary opposed free and mn
limited coinage of silver, and made use
OF this emphatic expression in favor of
blmetallSm: That a single StOndard
OF value based upon either gold or sill
yer is too narrow basis upon which to
conduct the business of the world is
now apparent to all who have studied
the question in this country, and by
many i'll other countries as we'll"
Since 1878 we had coined nearly S403,-
O000OO of silver, all of which is in cir
culation. mainly in the form of its paper
equivalent, yet our gold and
silver coins and their paper
representatives have maintained an
equal purchasing value, so he
could see no danger under the present
policy of not being able to continue the
existing status between gold and silver.
Ot the third party movement the Secre-
tary said: 'Much attention seems now
to be given to new party, caused, it is
alleged, by unwise legislation of the old
parties by and through which the agri-
cultural and labor interests are sar-
feed for the benefit of the manufacture
ers, corporations and wealthy classes.
Just what this new party proposes to do
to reverse these conditions is difficult to
understand. That there can be just
grounds for complaint against the Re-
publican party is not apparent. Its
policy of protection has had the effect
of creating home market for more
than 80 per cent of all that the farmers
produce, and that policy proposes to
keep this, incomparably the best market
in the world, for the farmers of our
country"

Andrew L. Harris. of Preble county,
was nominated for lieutenant governor
on the first ballot; for auditor of state,
E. w. Poe, of Wood county, the present

ton; for state treasurer, w. L. Cope, of
Cleveland, was nominated OH the first

siOner, 0. L. Carson. of Guernsey, was
nominated on the first ballot; for state
dairy and food commissioner, f. b.
Neal, of Miami, was nominated on the

Gently enacted ballot reform law, the

ed at the head of the Republican ticket,
this device to be the American eagle.
The convention then adjourned sine
die.
Sights on the Side.
For the first time, probably. in the
history of the state of OHIO, every nomi-
nation on the state ticket was made on
tho fret hallOt For Qv..rN Offian ayaapt
governor, there were from three to a
half dozen candidates. but there seemed
tacit understanding that under no cir
cumStanceS should any i'll feeling be
engendered to imperil the success of
the ticket, and early in the DAY the
practice was established of taking a
single ballot, and then, when the result
was announced, changing to the leading
candidate and making his nomination
unanimous. In this way there was not
a second ballot for the same Office
throughout the whole days proceedings.
There is little doubt a resolution urg-
ing the reelection of Senator Sherman
by the next legislature would have been
opposed by the particular admirers of
Ex-Governor Foraker, but the friends of
Senator Sherman insist they could have
carried such resolution despite all op-
position had not their ardor been
checked by their venerable and peace
loving leader.
To-day. like yesterday, was noted for
the wild enthusiasm which greeted
every mention of the name of j. G.
Blaine, and there is either already or
ganiZed a formidable Blaine boom in
Ohio,or else the enthusiasm manifested |
toward the distinguished secretary of |
state marks him as the faYorite OF the |
Buckeye state.
Gen. Foraker, in his speech, eulogized |
score of prominent living Republicans,
including Harrison, Blaine. and then |
evoked roar of laughter by asking if |
he had forgotten anybody, and adding
that he wanted to remember everybody
Baby Mckee. He paid his respects to |!
the disaffected elements in his own
party that aided in bringing about his |
defeat in 1889. Mckinley, he said, |
would be elected. He need not fear the |
political assassins who, in previous |
years. had aided in Republican defeat. |
He did not know what a political razor /
was.
The reading of dispatch from Wash |
ington announcing that Hon. Charles |
Grosvenor had been appointed to visit |
foreign countries in behalf of the
worlds fair was greeted with laughter |
and not few jeers.
The nomination of Gen. Harris for |
lieutenant governor was a victory for |
the ShermaniteS, and was the result of |
a still hunt. Up to the calling of the |
roll, Hon. Charles P. Griffin, of Toledo. |
a Staunch Foraker man. seemed to have |
the nomination by sufficient majority. |
Maj. Mckinley and Senator Sherman !
had lengthy private conference this |
afternoon. The campaign will be inau-
gurated without loss OF time.
