He is Named for Governor of Ohio by Ae-
clamation at Columbus-
COLUMBUS OHIO, June 1.-THE second dAy
OF the republican state convention of Ohio
opened bright aud clear. The sun was still
warm and the heat very oppressive, but both
heat and sun were powerless TO abate the en-
thusiasm of the republican hosts. who had
gathered in anticipation of the stirring scenes
OF the day IL was rumored early
In the morning that Mckinley would
throw down the gauntlet TO the low
tariff men in his speech OF acceptance,
and that the coming contest IL won at alt
must be won in sustaining the principles Of the
Mckinley tariff. The effect of this informa-
uon was to intuse with enthusiasm the stalwart
pronounced Mckinley element and, IL il had q
depressing influence ON the dissenters Of the
party. this influence was never felt in the con-
vention.
The proceedings Of the day were opened by
prayer, after which the report of the commit
tee on credentials was presented and adopted.
Ihe committee on permanent organization re-
ported amid applause the name Of Gen. Asa S.
Bushnell of Clark county for permanent chair
man of the convention. and T.. j. kossinger Of
Athens for permanent secretary.
CHAIRMAN BusHNELL's ADDRESS
Chairman Busbnelrs address was brief,
"Gentlemen Of the convention" said he. Il
thank you for this distinguished honor con-
ferred upon me. congratulate you upon the
bright sunshine this morning Ilaughterl. Civ
ing promise of an early and abundant haryest
llaughterl, the realization of which will be a
more substantial benefit 20 the whole people OF
this country than the organization of any num-
Der of new political parties" lApplause and
cheers.
Nominations were declared in order and e,-
Governor Foraker arose TO present the name
of Mckinley for governor. At the sight OF the
familiar figure of the ex-governor and sturdy
campaigner the convention fairly went mad with
enthusiasm. For over a minute the applause
and cheers reverberated through the immense
building, while Foraker bowed smilingly 10 the
compliment
Ex-Gov. FoRAKER's sPEEcH.
''Gentemen Of the convention" he said, sT
have now most pleasing duty 10 perform.
This contest upon which we are about to enter
is to be in some respects of unusual character.
While it is TO be hoped that we are not
to be called upon 70 confront q greater
number OF enemies in the aggregate vet
surely il is known that we are 70 be
compelled to contend against a GREATER
variety than ever before. In the first place we
must fight that time-honored enemy the demo-
cratic party, which it would appear that even
the devil could not kill. [Applause.l And in
the next place nobody vet knows how many
third parties. fLaughter.J We do know, how
ever, that the political shibboleth OF each and
every one Of these political organizations will
be anything to beat the republican party
lLaughter.f
Mot 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 more than the public insti-
tutions. 1t reaches out into national politics.
A United States Senator will depend upon
its result and, more important sui than all
this II will determine whether this
great state of Ohio is TO go into the next great
national contest of 1892 at the head of the re-
publican or at the head of the democratic
column, lApplause
''We shall win this fight TapplauseT, but we
must not be content with simply winning il.
We must win il triumphantly lspplausel, de-
cislvely, Overwhelmingly lcheersl, and TO that
end we must select for our standard-bearer
that man who. of all Others can most surely
command our undivided strength. lApplause.l
We must have our leader a nit represeutative
of our views with respect TO every living issue,
who in his record and his personality 10 the
best type we have of the illustrious achieve
ments and the moral grandeur Of republican
ism. tCheersl
WHAT THE LEADER SHOULD RE.
"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 q
leader we have. 1t is not my privilege TO point
him out Ii is no mans privilege TO point him
out; that has already been done By common
consent all eyes have turned in one direction.
One man there is who. measured by the eri-
gencies Of this occasion, stands a full head and
shoulders above all his comrades. and that man
is William Mckinley. prolonged cheers and
spplause.l
"There are many reasons why he should BE-
nominated. In the first place, everybody
knows him. tLaughter.l He does not need
my introduction anywhere. Every republican
IN Ohio not only knows him, but what is bet
Ter, every republican in Ohio loves him"
