WILLIAM M'KIELFY. nation. Colonel
Robert Harlan, the colored orator of
Cincinnati, seconded Major McKinley's
nomination "on behalf of the 10000 col
ored voters of Ohio" and with one wild,
hilarious cheer of affirmation the con-
vention declared Major Mckinley nomi-
mated for governor by acclamation, and
q committee was appointed to apprise
him of his nomination and escort him to
the hall. His appearance was the signal
for another outburst of enthusiasm.
Major McKinIcy's Speech.
The hero of the day received his
honorS nodestly. In accepting the
nomination he spoke in part as follows:
The election this year is of unusual import
Ance, not only because 1t determines the polit-
ical character Of the administration of the
state for tho coming two years, but because It
involves the choice Of Legislature whose duty
II will be to select United States senator who
will continue for six years from March 4, 1893,
and whose further duty 1t will be TO district
the state for representatives in congress under
the new census, and wipe from the statute
books the crime against Republican suffrage
perpetrated by the present Democratic legtsla-
ture.
The Republican party of Ohio approves the
administration of President Harrison, and ex-
tends to II hearty congratulation. II has been
clean, conservative, able and patriotic. 1t has
boen wise in its domestic policy, and thor
oughly American in its foreign. II has won
the confidence of the people AT home; it COM
mAnds universal respect abroad.
Favors Liberal Pensions.
The party is in favor of q regulated immi-
grafton; Of liberal pensions 10 our soldiers and
sailors; of a sound currency. 1t is in favor Of
gold and silver, and also paper money based
upon coin, all equal and at all times inter-
ehangeablc; equal in fact and equal in law.
N NhfEn .N..lI. i,
prudent men of all parties should seek to avert
asRafore 1t is too latc. The public credit and
sound finances must be preserved and every
scheme to destroy II must be met with cour-
age and Intelligence and repelled by the mighty
force of public opinion.
The platform indorses protective tariff
We have protected American products and
American labor. So long foreign products
can be found to tax, which compete with our
OWN in our market we propose to tax them
rather than tax our own.
Referring to the complaints among
free traders about increased duties under
the new law, Major Mckinley said 33k
per cent. of them are for the better pro-
lection of the American farmer, 28 are
upon wine and spirits, which will hardly
burden the farmers; are upon tobacco,
an agricultural product. While secur-
Ing to the farmer the home market by
increased protection, the reciprocity
clause is intended to extend his foreign
market.
Senator sherman Speaks.
Immediately after the close of McKin-
iey's speech there were loud cries of
sherman, sherman" The grizzly pa
rental face and familiar figure of the
senior senator Of Ohio finally emerged
from the crowd in the rear of the hall,
and again the enthusiastic scenes of the
convention were re-enacted. The sem
ator recalled his party's past, spoke
shght1ngly of the achievements of Cleve-
lands administration and also spoke a
good word for the Mckinley bill.
After the reading of the platform the
ticket was completed. Andrew l.. Har-
rls, of Preble county, was nominated
for lieutenant governor, E. w. Poe was
renominated for state auditor, o. T.
Carson, of Guernsey, for school commits
sioner, and Charles g. Groce, of Circle
vile, for member of the board of public
works.
The speech of Secretary of the Treas
ury Foster, which had been sent from
Washington owing to his inability to
make the trip, was then read.
II was decided that representation
OF the American eagle should be placed
at the head of the state ticket, and at 4
die.
The nomination of General Harris for
lieutGnant governor was a victory for
the Sherman contingent, and was the
result OF still hunt. Up to the calling
OF the roll Hon. Charles P. Griffin. Of
Toledo, a staunch Foraker man, seemed
TO have the nomination by a sufficient
majority. Major Mckinley and Sena-
tor Sherman had lengthy private con-
fervnce in the afternoon. The campaign
