lie then proceeded ct considerable

North, but among Southern industries

TIN PLATE.
"They insist that we cannot make tin
plate-so they said about steel rails,
SO they said about plate glass and
cutlery, and pottery, and when you
take them to the factory and show them
that we are making tin plate, they
assert with intense pleasure that we
are only making "a little"
That is true, but how much should
we be makiBg2 That We arc making
any is the surprise, for tho protective
duty on tin mas not yet gone into effect
and will not until the first of July.
Turning to State issues, Major Mckin-
ley charged the Democratic administra-
ton and Legislature with depriving the
legally elected Republican Lieutenant
Governor OF his seat without legal con-
test; with making an unjust and parti.
san Congressional gerrpmander, and
with unparalleled extravaganza in State

loud cries OF sherman, Sherman"
The grizzly, pateraal face and familiar
figure OF the Senior Senator OF Ohio,
finally emerged from the crowd and
again enthusiastic scenes OF the conven-

MIR, suERAIAH's SPEECH.
"NTY FELLOW REpUDmcANs: When I
look upon this great body of represent
ative Republicans, animated by COM
mon purpose and inspired by ~faith in
the party to which we belong, my mind
instinctively reverts to the first Repqb-
lican convention of Ohio, held in this
city thirty-six years ago. Then, under
the impulse OF great wrong-the re-
peal Of the restriction OF slavery north
OF Missouri-that convention, remarka-
BILE in numbers and composed Of repre-
sentatives OF all parties then in exist
ence, pledged themselves that come
what may they would resist the extern
sion of slavery over every foot Of terri
tory where it was not then established
by law.
alt was also the beginning OF the
most remarkable events OF American
history. Since that day the Republican
party has abolished slavery not only in
the United States, but by its reflected
influence, in nearly all tho countries OF
the world; it has conducted a war OF
gigantic proportions with marked sue
cess, demonstrating in the strongest way
the ability OF free people to maintain
and preserve the government against
all enemies at home and abroad. II has
by policy OF fostering and protecting
our home industries, SO developed our
productions that every article OF neces-
sity, luxury, art or refinement can be
made by American labor and the food
and fruits of temperate climate, and
cotton, wool and all the textile tibres
can be raised on the American farm.
"The recent Congress, in connection
with President Harrison, has dealt with
all leading domestic 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. The adj
ministration of Mr.. Cleveland settled
nothing but tho sublime egotism OF
Mr.. Cleveland, his opposition to the
protection policy, his lack OF sympathy
for the Union soldiers, and his narrow
notions Of finance and the public credit:
He devised nothing and accomplished
nothing. A Democratic House passed
the Mills tariff bill, but 1t was rejected
by the Senate and by the people in the
election OF 1888. 1t was neither pro-
tective tariff nor revenue tariff, but .
mongrel atfair mado up of shreds and
patches, furnished here and there by
Democratic members to suit their local
constituencies.
