LEAGUE CONVENTION.
CINCINNATI, April pa mass
meeting was heldlast night at Music
hall, the building being packed from
floor to vault. After a musical pro-
gram was rendered, Judge Thurston
said: II have the honor to present
to you the next governor of Ohio,
and one of the future presidents of
the United States, Hon. VIM. Nc
Kinley, Jr."
This unexpected sally was greeted
with cheers, long, loud, and followed
by three cheers for Mckinley, ia
each of prospective characters in
which he was introduced.
Mckinley, in his address, said:
"One great glory of the republican
party was that 1t could look into the
past without blushing aud into the
future without fear" The speaker
then sketched the history of the
republican and democratic parties
To the charges that the flfty.first
congress was expensive, Major Nc
Kinley said 1t used great deal of
money, but paid its debts and the
large arrearage left over by the
Fiftieth congress. 1t kept all pledges
save the election bill, and 1T was no
fault Of congress that it did not pass.
We kept faith with creditors that
bought our bonds in time of sore
need, and now we mean to keep
faith with that other creditor, whose
services are above price, the soldier
who offered his life in defense of the
country. AS to circulation of cur
rency, If more be needed it will be
forthcoming, but whether it be gold,
silver, or paper, 1t must be worth
just what its face says its value is.
TO the charge that the mission of
the republican party had ended,
Mckinley said no. 1t would not
end until the American ballot Is as
sacred as the American home.
