COLUMBUS, O., June 17.-Although the
heat was very oppressive to-day enthusi-
asm reigned at the second days session Of
the republican convention of Ohio. The
proceedings of the day opened by prayer,
after which the report of the committee on
credentials was presented and adopted.
Tho committee on permanent organization
reported amid applause the name of Gene
raj Asa S. Bushnell of Clark county for
permanent chairman of the convention,
and E. J. Kessinger of Athens for perma-
nent secretary. After General Bushnell
had rendered his thanks for the honor con-
ferred upon him, nominations were declar-
ed in order and Ex-Governor Foraker arose
and presented tho name of William Nc
Kinley for governor in a long speech. At
the sight of the familiar form of the ex-
governor and sturdy eampaigner the con-
vention went wild with enthusiasm. For
over a minute the applause and cheers re-
verberted through the immense building,
while Foraker bowed smilingly to the COM
pliment. The nomination was seconded
and made by reclamation. Major McKin-
ley then addressed the convention.
Immediately after the close of Major
McKinley's speech there were loud calls
for Senator Sherman, who went upon tho
platform amid enthusiastic cheering, and
delivered long speech.

nominated on the first ballot for lieuten-
ant governor.

the supreme court.
]. K. Richards was nominated on first
ballot for attorney general.
w. T. Cope was nominated for state
treasurer, and Charles E. Grace for mem
Der of the board of public works.
The platform, which was unanimously
adopted, reaf6rms.. devotion to the patriotic
doctrine of protection and recognizes the
Mckinley bill as the ablest expression of
that principle, enacted in fulflment of re-
publican promises, and pledges it's sup
port, always having in view its improve
ment as changed conditions or experience
may require. Favors such legislation by
congress and in this state as will in every
practical mode encourage, protect and pro-
mote the interests of agriculture in its de-
partments. Protection of labor and the
rights of laborers such as will grant to
toll it's full and just rewards is
among the first obligations of the gov
eminent. Demands protection for the
wool industry. Thoroughly believing that
gold and silver should form the basis
of all circulating mediums it endorses the
coinage act of the last republican congress
by which the entire production of the sill
yer mines of the United States is added to
the currency of the people. Demands the
free exercise by every citizen of the su-
preme sovereign right to only cast one bal
lot at elections and have it counted. De-
mands the enactment of laws that Will pro-
tect our country and our people against
the influx of the vicious and criminal
classes of foreign nations and the importa-
ton of laborers under contract to COM
pete with our own citizens, and earn
estly approves the rigid enforcement of
existing laws by the present national
administration. 1t favors economy in the
administration of national and state affairs;
prompt and effective restraint of combina-
tons of capitalists for purposes unlawful
or at variance with sound public policy.
| It favors liberal pensions to the sailors and
soldiers of the republic and a generous care
of their widows and orphans. The patri-
otism, wisdom and ability of the admins
tration of President Harrison command
cordial appreciation and support, especially
| the policy of reciprocity by which our
trade may be vastly increased by CONNER
| cial treaties with other nations. It also
commends the vigorous foreign policy of
| the administration, which has commanded
the respect of foreign nations for the flag
| of our country.
