M'KINLEY FOR GOVERNOR.
Ohio Republicans Nominate 3 Faforite-
Son.

bill which bears his name, was to-day
unanimously placed in nominationlfo
governor Of Ohio by the most enthpsi-
astic Republican convention that was
ever gathered here. The second dayief
the convention opened bright and clear
The sun was still warm and the heaS
very oppressive, but both heat and suaa
were powerless to abate the enthusiasts
of the Republican hosts who had gath
cred in anticipation Of the stirring
scenes of the day. 1t was rumored ear
ly in the morning that Mckinley woulG
throw the gauntlet to the low-tar~
if men in his speech of acceptance,
and the coming contest, II won at ALL
must be won in sustaining the prlncl-
pies of the Mckinley tariff law. The
effect of this information was to lnfuse
with greater enthusiasm the staiwart or
professed Mckinley element, and it had
a depressing influence on the dissenters
of the party. This influence, however,
was never felt in the convention.
THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
The committee on resolutions reporteG
the following platform, which WAS
adopted amid cheers:
The Republicans of Ohio, in convention
assembled, reattirm and express their ad~
heslon to the principles which have guild
ed them heretofore in the prosperity anG
happiness of the American people;
/. We reaffirm our devotion TO the patti
otto doctrine of protection, and recognize
the Mckinley bill as the ablest expression
of that principle, enacted in fulhllment OF
Republican promises, and we pledge our
selves to its support always having In
view its Improvement as changed coAO-
tons or experience may require.
2. We favor such legislation by Col-
gresS and in tlis state as will in eve'y
practicable mode encourage, protect al0
promote the interest OF agriculture I'M III
its departments. Protection Of labor and
the right of laborers. such as will grant to
toll its full and just rewards, is among the
first obligations of government
3. We demand protection for the WOOE
industry, equal to that accorded to the
most favored manufacturer of wool, so that
in due time American wOol-growerS wiz
supply all wool of every kind required I1or
consumption in the United States.
I 4. Thoroughly believing that gold anG
Silver should form the basis of all circuit
ing mediums, we endorse the amended
coinage act of the last Republican Con
gress, by which the entire production of the
Silver mines of the United States is added
to the currency of the people.
5. We demand, and we will continue to-
demand until finally and absolutely Sc
cured, the free exercise by every citizen OF
the supreme and sovereign right to cast one
ballot at lawful elections and have 1t
honestly counted.
/. While inviting to our shores the
worthy poor and oppressed Of other ma
tions, we demand the enactment OF laws
that will protect our country and our neO-
pie against the influx of the vicious and,
criminal classes of foreign nations and the.
importation of labOrerS under contract to.
compete with our own citizens; and car
nestIy approve the rigid enforcement ofeX-,
listing laws by the present national admin
iStratlOn.
Z. We favor economy in the adminiStra-
tlonot national and state affairs; prompt
and effective reStralnlof combinations OF
capitalists for purposes unlawful or atVa-
RANCE with sound public policy; ample edu-
cati0nal facilities for the whole people;Ah
reservation of the public lands of the
United States for hOmsSteadS for Ameri-
can citizens and the restoration TO the pub.
lie domain of all unearnid railroad grants
and we contemplate with pride the prog
resS of Republican legislation and admin
istrat0n in all of the olrctlOnS named!
The Republican party@ever mindful Of
the services of the her9iG man who saved
the Union, favor liberia pensions to the
sailors and soldiers of tie republic, and o.
generous care Of their widows and orphans
y. The PATRIOTISM, VISION and aDlllty OF
the administration OF President Harrison
command our cordial aplr0batiOnald sup
port, and we especially Commend the pol
icy of reciprocity by which our trade may
be vastly increased by commercial treaties
with other nations. and we also commend
the vigorous foreign policy of the admin,
iStratOn which has commanded the re-
SpectOf foreign nations for the flag of our
country.
III. ave commend the patriotic services OF
our distinguished felloW-citiZen, Senator
Sherman, and his Republican colleagues
in tht Fifty-tirst Congress-
I Va of1 LOFT IIov,
and he country upon the selection ofHon.
ChareS Foster as secretary of the treas
| ury,k assuring as it does an able ana
efficint administration of that great de-
| partment OF he government.
IL. we denounce'Ae late so-calied Strip
PERI legislature of Olia as the most cor
rupt and incompetent and tie adminlstra--
ton of James E. Campbell a. the most
partisan in the history OF our suite. We
denounce the present goverlnW OF
Ohio for having converted thu be
nevolent institutions into politlcM ira
disc of the Sufferings and caiantnes
of the helpless wards Of the state, and We
point with pride to the more, patriotcAn6
wise management of state affairs un}er'
the administration of Gov. j. b. FOrakE"
We aenounce GOV Campbell and the Sixty
ninth General Assembly for violating theif
part'S pledges and the rights of local self
government by the legislative reQrganizaA
tom of numerous towns and cities foy(
solely partisan purposes. We denOunce
the Elate ripper legislature for having
sanctioned and encouraged the increase of
loca taxation, and for increasing the eX-
penIitureS Of the state more than half
| million OF dollars in excess of the appro
prifions of any preceding two years, thus
| bringing the state to the verge of bank
rupcy in spite of the generous appro
prl4ion made by a Republican congress in
tav \E a 10
nouce the late ripper Senate OF Ohio
t0rnSeating the legally-elected lieutenant
goVrnor, thus robbing the people OF
tutEn to select an Wv ,mpor Taii
public officer, and we appeal to all intclII-
gent and patriotic people of Ohio to unite
Wit rs i'll the recovery Of the state from
thehands of the party that for two years.
| past has disgraccd it.
