be called upon to confront greater mum.
ber in the aggregate, but will be called
upon to confront great variety in the
campaign; first, the Democratic party,
and no one knows how many third par.
ties. When we go out Of this hall we con.
tend with the combined efforts of all
these parties. This contest is of unusual
| importance. 1t not only involves the
control of all the departments and institu-
tions OF the State, but Of a legislature,
which is to elect United States Senator
and make our laws.
| Foraker said Mckinley should be nomi-
mated because every one knows him.
Every Republican in Ohio knows him.
Everyone loves him more. Every Demo-
crat knows him and every Democrat fears
him. His name is household word. No
man has ever been nominated for Gov
| ernor with such national character, He
is true and tried, long time in public SER
vice, started in June IL, 1861, with Lincoln.
| Begun by enlistng as private soldier, one
| of the first to respond; one Of the last of
Ohio's sons to quit the service. Was in
| 10 bloody battles. He closed by saying
| enough for Campbell. He then moved
that the nomination of Mckinley be made
unanimous, which was done amid great
applause by rising vote.
When Mckinley closed his speech of
acceptance there was tremendous APP
plause, followed by loud cries for Sher.
man, who, with apparent reluctance,
came forward and spoke very briefly. He
said he had given his speech to the State
journal, so it could be read. He referred
| to the eloquence of Foraker and McKin-
ley, and of the convention as the greatest
since the war. Sherman complimented
Mckinley in few words, saying his tariff
bill would be vindicated in Ohio by elect
| ing him Governor.
Asa S. Bushnell on taking the chair, as
| permanent chairman of the convention
only made few brief remmarks.
THE OTHER NoMINATIoNs.
After McKinley's speech the roll was
| called for vote for Liestenant Governor
Griffin of Lucas had 277, Harris of Preble
| PA, balance scattered. Then came wild
scramble to Harris, amid wild excitement,
| when motion was made and carried that
Harris be nominated by acclamation. The
Griffin men are fearfully sore over this re-
suit. Stark county on first ballot gave
Harris eight, Barret 2. Griffin 2, Bargar 8.
For Treasurer they gave Cope 20 votes.
The convention has now been in session
four hours. The delegates are getting
tired. All are anxious to get away. Stark
county leave for home tonight. Most of
hr nd hnu
left the hall. 1t is fearfully hot. Every
body is tired out. Much i'll feeling over
the nomination of Lieutenant Governor.

t. Cope, and he was nominated by &C.

THE COMPROMISE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
The Republicans of Ohio in convention
] assembled, reafflrm and express their ad-
hesion to the principles which have guild
| ed them heretofore in promoting the
prosperity and happiness OF the American
| people. We reatiirm our devotion to the
| patriotic doctrine of protection, and
recognize the Mckinley bill as the ablest
| expression of that principle enacted in
fulfillment of Republican promises, and
we pledge ourselves to its support, al.
ways having in view its improvement and
changed condition d experience may re-
quire.
We favor such legislation by Congress
| Snd this State, as viii in every practi-
cable mode encourage protection and
promote the interests OF agriculture in all
its departments, protection of labor and
| the rights OF laboreTs such as will grant
| 10 toll he fnII ~ nd 10
the first obligations Of government.
We demand protection for the wool in
| dustry equal TO that accorded to the most
favored manufacturers OF wool, SO that in
| due time American wool growers will sup
ply all wool OF every kind required for
consumption in the United States. Thor
oughly believing that gold and silver
| should form the basis of all circulating
| medium we endorse the amended coinage
act of the last Republican Congress, by
which the entire production OF the silver
mints of the United states is added to the
currency of the people.
We demand and will continue to de-
mand until finally and absolutely receiv-
| ed, the free exercise by every citizen of
the supreme and sovereign right to cast
one ballot at lawful elections and have it
honestly counted.
poor and oppressed Of other nations, we
demand the enactment of laws that will
protect our country and our people against
the influx of the vicious and criminal
classes of foreign nations, and the import
alton of laborers under contract to COM
pete with our own citizens, and earnestly
| approve the rigid enforcement of existing
laws by the present National Adminlstra-
| ton,
We favor economy in the administra-
tion of national and state affairs,
prompt and effective restraint of
combinations of capitalists for purposes
| unlaWfully at variance with sound public
