THE CRY FOR M'KINLEY.

Boston Republicans in their enthusiastic
welcome of Major Mckinley on Thursday
hailed him as ''the next president of the
United States" This cry for Mckinley
mas been heard in many quarters ever
since the Ohio election.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat Justly says
OF Mckinley that, "as the chief Trainer of
the measure on which the canvass of 1892
Is TO be waged, and as the successful cham
pion of that policy in the most exciting
canvass of 1891, he stands in the popular
conception as one of the two or three
chieftains whom the party must rely upon
for management and directions, who rep
resent its interests and aspirations, and
whose career reflect and typify its fort
unes"
John Sherman says: "Major Mckinley
Is splendidly equipped, a man of study, of
perseverance, good temper and genuine
talent"
The New York Sun cautions the Demo-
Gratis against over confidence, saying that
"Blaine and Mckinley" would be power
full ticket in 1892, and dangerously likely
to prove a winning one. The Springfield
Republican Qnd.) says:
1t looks very much as IL the outcome OF the
elections had left Mckinley the chief rival of
the president for the Republican presidential
nomination.
McKinley's plurality in Ohio is more
than q. 900. the largest ever given to any
Ohio candidate for governor since 1871.
This plurality is the answer of Ohio to
Governor Campbell, who closed his cam
paign speech at Bellaire, o., with this
declaration: "Elect me governor this
fall over Major Mckinley and you will
strike death blow to protection"
Commenting on the result in Ohio,
where the people have so heartily en-
i dorsed the chief architect of the tariff,
3 az United States Senator Payne. life
long Democrat, said:
ssThe tariff was the issue Our people in Ohio
are not free traders. The Mckinley tariff bill is
not such bai law. The duties about Is
leg csnt TOO high. but the principle is ali right.
fhe tariff represents something economically.
while free trade represents only wind. Ohio
can never be carried on the issue of free trade.
8 Thus II was that Mills coming here, represent
Ing only the wind of the argument did US no
Z GOOD, II indeed, not harm"
ssYou then think Ohio cannot be carried for
& tariff REFORM
swell, If this cry of reform, reform, means
lree trade, it means that Ohio will never record
free trade vote"
The people of Ohio do not want to go
s tack TO tie days of revenue tariff policy
kior TO 1924, days which Thomas Ewing,
zee m eminent United States senator
osn Ohio, ,scribed when he said:
WI Every farmer in Ohio long knew and felt the
1sresxure consequent on this state of things.
z4<Ar after year their stacks OF wheat stood I'M
Z <hrsshad, scarcely worth the manual labor OF
separating the grain from the straw. So low
WAS 1t reduced in comparison with manuiac-
tured articles that have known forty bushels
of wheat given for a pair of boots. Such was
the state of things in the Western country prior
and at the time of the revision of the tariff OF
1891
Ohio has voted not TO go back to this
policy when it elected Mckinley governor,
and the country on the same ground will
elect him president if he is nominated.
