COLUMBUS, o., June 1s.-The Reptfbli-
cans have nominated William Mckinley,
Jr., for governor of Ohio. Mckinley re-
ceived an ovation. In response to cheers
Mr.. Mckinley said that the Republican
party Of Ohio heartily indorsed the ad-
minlstration Of President Harrison, was
in favor Of regulated immigration which
would debar the vicious and criminal, de-
manded liberal pensions, would insist on
laws to bring about free ballot and honest
elections, and favored circulating medium
which would be sound aud stable and Sc
cure from discount, depreciation or fuctu-
alton. He repeated his well known views
on the tariff question and said that the
Republicans followed in their tariff policy
the teachings Of Washington and Hamil-
ton and Clay and Webster and Lincoln
and Garfield, while the Democrats pursued
the fallacies Of Golden and Bright and
the statesmen of the late southern Con.

Defending His Bill.
In defending his bill he said
True, we did advance some duties II Is
said they bear heavily ON the farmers Let
us see If this criticism is support
ed by the facts. Thirty-three and one third
per cent of the advanced duties are for the
better protection Of the American farmer
Twenty eight in number Of the advanced duties
are upon wine and spirits, which will hardly
burden the American farmer. Five Of the ad-
vanced duties are upon tobacco, an agricultural
product. In the framing Of the law most care
fui consideration was given to agriculture.
The Other Nominations.
Andrew L. Harris, of Preble county, was
nominated for lieutenant governor; Eben-
ezer w. Poe, of Wood county, was re-
nominated for auditor; w. T. Cope, Of
Cleveland, was nominated for state treas
urer, and Senator John X. Richards, of
Lawrence, was nominated for attorney
general
The nomination Of General Harris for
lieutenant governor was victory for the
Sherman contingent and was the result of
still hunt. Up to the calling Of the roll
the Hon. Charles r. Griffin, of Toledo, a
staunch Foraker man, seemed to have the
nomination by sufficient majority
sherman" was next shouted by thou
sands of throats, and with difficulty the
veteran statesman climbed on the stage
and contributed his share of the prevail
ing enthusiasm. He said;
Senator Sherman's Speech.
Senator Sherman began BY reviewing
the history and achievements Of the Re
publican party, which he declared was the
author Of the sound financial system Of
the country and the protector Of American
industries. He eulogized President Har-
rison's administration.
"The recent Republican congress- be
said, ''in connection with President Harri-
son, has dealt with all leading questions
of the time, and with the most important
questions with foreign nations. Every one
of these has either been settled or is in the
way of settlement
Senator Sherman declared that the ad-
ministration of Mr. Cleveland had devised
nothing and accomplished nothing. Re
ferring to the Mckinley bill he said it was
a measure that extended its benefits to
artisan and farmer alike 1t would bear
discussion and would improve on acquaint-
ance. The free coinage of silver, he de-
clared, was neither just nor equitable Il
would demonetize gold and disarrange all
business relations. The speaker reiterated
the Republican declarations as to the gen
eral pensions and federal election bill, and
closed with prediction that Ohio would
again lead the Republican column in No
