WILLIAM M'KINLEY, JB.
Immediately after the close Of Mr..
McKinley's stirring speech there were
loud cries OF Sherman, sherman" 7,
The grizzly, pater nal face and familiar
figure OF the senior senator OF Ohio
finally emerged from the crowd and
again the enthusiastic scenes were en-
acted.
Senator Sherman began by reviewing
the history and achieve ments OF the re-
publican party, which, he declared, was
the author of the sound financial sys'
tenn of the country and the protector OF
American Industries. He eulogized
President Harrison's administration.
"The recent congress" +" he said, I'm con-
nection W ith President Harrison, has
dealt with all leading questions OF the
time and with the most important ques-
tions with foreign nations, Every one
of these has either been settled or Is in
the way Of settlement"
The delegates howled down a propo-
sition TO take recess although il was
long past the dinner hour, and the maxi
ing OF the ticket was completed as fol-
lows:
For lieutenant governor, A. l.. Harris,
Of Preble county; auditor Of state, e. w.
Poe, of Wood; state treasurer, W. I.
Cope, Of Cuyahoga; attorney general.
]. X. Richards, Of Lawrence; member
board Of public works, Charles =.
Groce, OF Richland; school commission
er, o. T. Carson, Of Guernsey.
The nomination OF Gen. Harris for
lieutenant governor was victory for
the Sherman contingent and was the re-
suit OF still hunt. Up TO the calling Of
the roll Hon. Charles p. Griffin, Of To-
ledo, a staunch Foraker NAV seemed to
have the nomination by lent ma
jority. Maj. Mckinley Senator
Sherman had lengthy priv confer
