RENEWED HIS THANKS.
Sherman Entertains the Legisla-
tors With Talk.

tors With Talk.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 13.-The two
houses met in joint session today aud
elected John Sherman United States
senator. Gov. Mckinley and a number
o. prominent OhiOanS were present dur
ing the proceedings. After an official
reading of the journals of the two
houses, Lieut.. Gov Harris announced
that the vote of each branch elected Mr..
Sherman TO serve Ohio in the United
States senate for six years, beginning
January, 1893. A committee was APP
poined to call upon Senator Sherman
and request his presence before
The body: Among other things,
turning thanks for the honor:
I'm the recent election the popular YER
dict turned upon the tariff and silver
questions. Fortunately for the people
OF Ohio, the innumerable questions that
affect their domestic policy. their
homes, their property and their per-
s0ual rights are left to the decision of
senators and representatives chosen
every two years fresh from the people.
These rarely involve partisan con-
troverSv or rival sectional interests.
Ohio has been singularly free from
local jealousies. Our divisions are not
North and the South. The lake and
the river have no rivalry.
"Our population, although drawn
from every section and almost every
country. is homogeneous. The subjects
OF your legislation extend to every want
OF nearly 100000 OF people, as active.
progressive and combative as any part
of mankind. Your chief trouble is the
government of cities. where the neglect
OF public duty by some and the cOrrup-
ton of others contribute alike to waste
full and imprOvident expenditure and
beget methods inconsistent with good
order and good morals. What is most
needed in Ohio is more comprehensive
system OF taxation, not one to increase
taxes, but to apportion taxes more
equally upon all kinds of property.
while as citizen of Ohio | venture
to express these opinions, | know you
expect me to deal with national ques-
lions at Washington rather than to adj
wise you about local needs. Fortunately
the great issues between the two par
ties. growing out Of the civil war, are
being settled by the healing Of time.
The people of the South as well as the
North begin to recognize that the only
basis OF permanent peace and good will
is that all citizens must be protected in
tuC CQudl CIJOJ lucuG vi civil anu pOllIl-
cal rights without distinction of race or
color. leaving social relations to be de-
termined by each individual citizen.
Though we may differ as to the de-
tails, you will expect me to stand fast to
the policy of impartially protecting all
American industries from undue COM
petition with foreign labor, so that cap
ital may be induced to embark in new
enterprises, and American labor may
secure such reasonable wages as are
consistent with the dignity and the
wants of American workinsmen. You
will also expect me to insist upon the
best4standards of value, so that labor
and production will be measured by
money of the highest purchasing pow
er. All measures to lower the purchaS-
ing power of money operate against
labor and producer. Good money and
plenty of it is, believe, the desire of
both parties IN Ohio. AS acred and
faithful observation Of public obligations
to the surviving Union soldiers of our
civil war, their widows and orphans is
demanded by the patriotic people of
Ohio, without distinction of party.
These are the national duties of the
hour"
Gov. Mckinley made brief response
to calls complimenting the address of
Sherman
