COLUMBUS, O., June 17.-The second dav
Of the republican state convention OF Ohio
opened bright and clear. The sun was
still warm and the heat very oppressive.
bub both the heat and sun were powerless
to abate the enthusiasm Of the republican
hosts who had gathered in anticipation of
the stirring scenes of the day. 1t was
rumored early in the morning that Mai.
Mckinley would throw down the gauntlet
20 the low tariff men in his speech Of ac-
ceptanoe. and that the coming contest, il
won at all, must be won in sustaining
the principles of Vthe Mckinley tariff. The
effect of this information was to infuse
with greater enthusiasm the stalwarrs of
the pronounced Mckinley element, and, if
it had depressing influence on the dis
senters LOT the party this influence was
never felt in the convention. The pro-
eeedings Of the day were opened by prayer,
after which the report OF the committee on
credentials was presented and adopted.
THE OFFICERS.
The committee ON permanent organiza.
ton reported, amid applause, the nomina-
tion of Gen. Asa 8. Bushnell of Clark
county for permanent chairman of the con-
vention, and e. j. Messenger of Athens
for permanent secretary. Chairman Bush

an early and abundant harvest [laughterL
the realization of which will be of more
substantial benefit to the whole people of
this country than the organization Of any
number of political parties. [Applause and
cheers.
CHEERING FOR FORAKER.
Nominations were then declared in
order and Gov. Foraker arose TO present
the name of Maj. Mckinley for governor.
At the sight Of the familiar form Of the ex-
governor and sturdy campaigner, the con-
vention fairly went mad with enthusiasm.
For over minute the applause and cheers
reverberated through the immense building,
while Gov Foraker bowed smiIiugly 20 the
conventions compliment. gentlemen of

The contest upon which we are
ABOUT to enter is to be in some respects of
an unusual character. While it is to be
hoped that we are not to be called upon to
confront a greater humber of enemies in
the aggregate, yet surely it is known that
we are TO be compelled to contend against a
greater variety than ever before. In the
first place, we must fight that time
hohored enemy, the Democratic party,
which it would appear that even
the devil could not kill [applausel and in
the next place nobody vet
knows how many third parties.
[Laughterl We do know, however, that
the political shibboleth of each and every
one OF these political organizations will be

WHAT IS AT STAKE.
"Not only is the governorship of the
great state Of Ohio at stake, but this contest
involves more than the governorship, more
than the general assembly and more than
public institutions 1t reaches out into
national politics. A United States senator
will depend upon its result, and,
more important still than ali
this, it will determine whether
this great state of Ohio is to go into the
next great national contest of 1892 at the
head of the republican or at the head of
the democratic column. [Applause.l We
shall win this fight [applauseb but we must
not be content with simply winning. We
must win it decisively and overwhelm-
ingly [cheersl, and to that end we
that man who, of all others,
can most surely command our undivided
strength. [Applause1 We must have as
cur leader a fit representative of our
views with respect to every living issue,
who in his record and his personality is
the best type we have of the illustrious
achievements and moral grandeur of the
republic [Cheers.l He must be more even
than that He must have a sure place in
The confidence and in the affections Of the
republicans of Ohio. Such a leader
We have. 1t is not my privilege
to point him out, 1t is no mans privilege to
point him out. That has been already done
by common consent all have turned in one
direction. One man there is who, measured
oy the exigencies of this occasion, stands a
full head and shoulders above all his COM
rades, and that man is William Mckinley.
tProlonged cheers and applause.] There are
many reasons why he should be nominated.
In In the first place everybody

Every republican in Ohio not only knows

Ohio loves him. Z Good" "Good," and ap-
plause.] That is not all. every democrat
IN Ohio knows him and every democrat in
ohio fears him. [Applause.l His name is a
household word throughout the nation and
throughout the whole world. Wherever
civilization exists it has become known.
M'KINLEY's CAREER.
de commenced on June IL, 1861, when he i
enlisted as a private in the Twenty-third
Ohio regiment. [Applause] He began as
private and by bravery in many bloody
battles he came out as major In his regi-
ment Eapplausel when the last armed rebel
mad surrendered. [Cheers.l He has
been identified with every great
measure of the Republican party in
both field and forum. [Cheers.1 His tariff
course has been one Of patriotic conviction.
and time will justify this conviction.
lCheers.] No republican candidate has ever
suffered defeat through the fault of William
mckinley. This thrust at certain Ohio
republicans who opposed Gov. Foraker
aud wrought his defeat in the last guberna-
torial election was received with the widest
enthusiesm.l There is not one single drop
oI cut-throat blood in his veins. ICheers.l
he Is morally incapable of treachery and
the cowardice Of political assassination.
IAppleuse.l He don't know what q
ponrleal razor is and has only
contempt for the sneaking, hypo-
CRITICAL scoundrel who would use one.
tFrolonged applause and cheers This con-
Vent1on to-day means that the 500, 600 re-
publican voters of Ohio have got together
