Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1892-01-14

not with demagogues and surrendering
not to dishonesty, true to friend and fair
to foe, just to the weak as well as to the
strong, he asks only for right and sub
mits not to wrong; loyal to the protec-
tion OF the rights of labor, without un-
justly disturbing the rights of property,
mutually interdependent; believing that
when the muscle of toll or the hand Of
patriotism to our country in her trying
ordeal for perpetual existence has rem
dered dollars worth of services that
hand should receive, as compensation
therefor, dollar with hundred cents
worth Of purchasing power. Vote for
him; for in that sublime act you honor
yourselves, better your constituents, and
serve your country"
Representative Griffin, of Lucas, NOM
mated Joseph B. Foraker, and his speech
was frequently interrupted with enthusi-
astic applause. "In the summer Of
1852" said he, "when the life of this ma
tion was trembling in the balance and
when the hearts OF strong men wavered
in view of the rapidly accommodating mis-
fortunes which were overtaking the
armies of the nation, lad of 16, born
and bred upon farm, willingly and
gladly, full of life and hope and patriot
ism, offered his life, if need be, his best
service upon the altar of his country.
He enlisted as a private soldier. He
went to the front with others, and when
a redoubt or battery was to be stormed,
with youthful vigor and impetuosity, he
was the foremost. During the entire
war until it ended he served as private
soldier"
After reviewing ex-Gov. Foraker's Of
fetal record the speaker concluded:
The man whom / name is one of those
gallant men who never deserted friend
or turned his back upon the enemy. He
never sought n quarrel and he never ran
from one. Always true to high princi-
pies, always true to the Republican par
ty, there never has been a campaign in
the State when he was not In the fore
most of the battle, leading as best he
might on to victory. He has always
been true to the principles of the Re-
publican party because he is Republi-
can on principle. / take pleasure in
presenting the name of Joseph b. Fora
ker of Ohio"
Representative Welsh, who has for
weeks insisted that he would vote for no
one but William Mckinley, placed the
Governor-eleet in nomination for Sena-
tor in spicy speech, and urged him "as
the man Of the occasion and the one
who, if elected, would best subserve the
interests of the State of Ohio and the
nation"
Representative Dicks, OF Hamilton, in
his turn nominated Secretary of the
Treasury Charles Foster, but there was
a slight disposition to jeer the gentle
man and ne was brief In his speech.
The nominations of Sherman and
boz Io1 Axve
tlemen upon each side and il was 10
o'clock before ballot was reached.
Just before the ballot telegram from
Governor-elect Mckinley was read, say
ing: Il have been advised that my name
may be presented. Promptly withdraw
it," Upon this authority the Chairman
withdrew Mr.. McKinley's name, but
this action did not prevent Mr.. Welsh
from subsequently voting for his can
didate.
There was intense excitement during
the roll-call and as doubtful men re-
corded themselves they were warmly
applauded by the faction with which
they voted.
The result was: John Sherman, So;
J. b. Foraker, 3S; Charles Foster, /, and
William Mckinley, /, and amid tremend-
Gus applause Sherman was declared the
Nominee.
On motion OF a Foraker man Senator
Sherman's nomination was made unan-
imous, and committee was appointed to
wait upon both Sherman and Foraker
and invite them to appear before the
caucus.
Loud cheers greeted the appearance
of the two distinguished Ohioans as they
entered the hall and were escorted to the
speakers stand.
