will his majority be2' In fact, If the
wrangling and dlscord and ordinations
and recriminations ef our Democratic
brethren keep up much longer, my
friend Governor Campbell will have to
call another special and extraordinary
session OF the Legislature next fall to
have it officially determined whether
the Democratic candidate was really In
the race.
HARMONY THE WORD.
"Gn selecting candidates for other
offices, let lis be guided by the fitness OF
the man for the place, and by nothing
else. Let us lay aside all personal feel
ings and preferences and prejudices,
and having in view only the best inter.
ests Of our party and our State, select
our ticket, and then, having nude our
choice and ddopted our platform, let US
each and all determine that we will do,
as individuals, all we honorably can to
secure the election OF the entire ticket
next November. If wewill SO nominate
and then will do all the work we have
resolved to do, believe me, Republicans
Of Ohio, when say that success is just
as certain and just as sure as anything
in the future can be-"
General Nevin was frequently inter-
rupted by the plaudits OF the conven-
ton, and when he had concluded there
was prolonged applause. The various
district delegations then announced the
names OF their members for the COM
mittees on credentials, resolutions and
order OF business, and n recess was then
taken until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

M'KINIEY's ARRIVAL.
The unusual spectacle of 1000 men
marching in line under a scorching sun
OF 80 in the shade was witnessed at mid.
day, when Colonel Mckinley arrived in
the city on a special train from Canton.
He was accompanied by his old Repub::
lican friends and neighbors and several
OF the marching clubs OF his section.
After cheering from the vast crowd at
the depot as the train rolled in and the
Napoleonic features of Mckinley were
recognized by those in waiting, there
we're n few cries for "a speech; q
Speech" by the enthusiastic, but they
were unqualified Mckinley, after bow
ing right and left 10 the multitude, and
grasping the hands OF q few old friends
the march to the Neil house began. It
was indeed triumphant march.
THE RECEPTION.
The evening was devoted to recep-
tions and music and specchmaking.
The Lincoln Club rendered Il reception
to Mckinley, which was sattended by
an immense crowd, including the lead
ing Republicans OF the State. Senator
Sherman was introduced early in the
evening and made a brief speech, de-
voted principally to anecdotes, and u
review by contrast of the record of the
Republican and Democratic parties
during the war. In the midst OF his
speech the audience caught sight Of
Mckinley, who arrived somewhat late,
and the Senator at once insisted that
tho "next Governor" should address
the audience.
Major Mckinley, in response to re-
peated cries, said: "My fellow citizens,
there is one thing that can be said OF
the Republican party which i do not
believe can be said Of aRssothsr-pa party
known to political history. It has been
right on every great public question
that has confronted the people of the
nation within the last thirty years.
[Cheers.1 There is another thing that
can be said of the Republican party. 1t
can look backward or it can look for
ward daughter and cheersl, and that
cannot be said OF any other party, for
tho Democratic party cannot look back
ward, except with shame. Applause.
The speaker then spoke Of the early
history OF the Republican party up to
to-day, saying 1t was righton every great
question.
"I don't know" he said, "what
brought you together. But your earnest
and enthusiastic faces indicate that you
mean business in November and Re-
publican victory in Ohio. Iwant to say
to you hero tonight that we have not
waged political war for twenty-five
years fraught with greater importance
than the political battle of this year. It
means everything. Congress legislated
for our own people under, the match
less leadership OF the bold, brave Tom
Reed. prolonged cheers.
eve do not confne ourselves in issues
of our campaigns, We will cover every
difference between the Republican and
Democratic party. II they want to
make the issue on Tom Reed we will
meet them. AL that Tom Reed said
was that II man was present he could
not be absent. [Great laughter,l They
say we spend a ,dreat deal OF money. So
we did, but we have less debt than
was outstanding two years ago. The
greatest expenditure was for the brave
men who sacrificed their lives that this
Government might live. [Cheers.l
So whatever the issue be, whether it be
protection, sound money, the billion
dollar Congress, Tom Reeds rulings, or
honest ballot,we will meet our adYersa-
ries anywhere and everywhere.
