The Governor Defends Protection.
MrNSEAPoLis, Mimi, June 0.--The
second session of the republican nation-
al convention vas set for IL o'clock but
was not really opened until 1i:43
o'clock, so slow were the delegates in
gathering.
The hall was crowded almost 10 its
utmost capacity when Chairman Fas-
sett pounded for order.
The proceedings were opened by Bish-
op II. II. Whipple, Of Minneapolis with
prayer.
L. Il. Walker, of Beatrice, Neb, on
behalf Of the Nebraska delegation pre-
scented Temporary Chairman Fassett
with a gavel made from trees grown on
the first homestead In Nebraska. The
gavcl, he said, was of wood of hard in.
growth and was inlaid with silver.
s. c. Lockwood, of Idaho, presented
the report of the committee on organ
ization. A wild scene took place when
the committee reported Gov. William
Mckinley, Of Ohio, for permanent chair
man.
A magnificent ovation greeted tho
governor when he stepped to the chair
on the platform. Temporary Chairman
Fassett introduced his successor, say
ing: THE chairman, gentlemen of the
convention. Before presenting to you
your permanent chairman, the chair
desires TO thank you most heartily for
the kind forbearance which you have
extended to him. I now have the honor
and the distinguished pleasure u intro
duce Hon. William Mckinley, Of Ohio"
Temporary Chairman Fassctt retired
amid great applause and there was pro-
longed and renewed cheers and waving
Of banners, after which Gov. Mckinley
spoke as follows:
thank you for the honor OF presiding over
the ninth quadrcnnial convention Of the rcpub-
hcan party. tApplause.l Republican conven.
lions mean something. They have always
meant something. tApplause.1 Republican
conventions say what they mean and mean
what they say. tApplause.l They declare
principles and policies and purposes and when
invested with power execute and en-.
, force them. !Applause'l trs. m.
uonai convention OF the Republican
party was thirty-six years ago in
the city OF Philadelphia. The platform OF the
great convention reads to-day more like In.
SEPARATION than the Affirmation OF n political
party. lGreat npplnuscl Every provision of
that great instrument made by the fathers OF
our Inrty is In the statutes OF our country to-
day. lApplausc.l Every one OF them has been
embodied into public law and that cannot DO
said OF the platform Of my other political or.
ganization In this or any other country OF tho
world. [Cheers
We arc for o protective tariff and for reel.
prochy. IGrcat applause We propose to
take no backward step upon either one OF these
great republican principles lApplause.l W.
stand for n protective tarif because II repro.
sents the American home. the American fire.
side the American family, the American girl
and the American boy and the highest posi-.
bilities OF American citizenship Applause
We propose TO raise our money to pay public
expenses by taxing the products Of other ma
lions rather than by taxing the products OF our
own lApplause.l The democratic party he.
heves In direct taxation, that is In taxing our
selves, but we don't believe In that prin.
ciple, so long as we can ind anybody else to tax.
Our protective tarid not only does everything
which n revenue tax Is doing, raising oil ncc!ed
revenues, but q protective tariff does more. A
protective tariff encourages and stimulates
American industries una gives the widest
possibilities to American genius and Amer
lean effort Does anybod; know what
tarir reform iss (No, no. and iaughter);
and that Is to be tho platform OF our
political opponents this year. What does IL
means You sny Grover Cleveland's utterances.
From the first one he made in New York when
he said he did not know anything about
the tarin until hts last ono In Rhode Island,
you come Away ignorant and uniformed
rs TO what tariff reform means. Since
the war there have been three great
tariff reform bills proposed by democratic
leaders, none Of them alike, neither OF them
with the same free list. neither OF them with
the same tariff list. neither OF them with tho
samt rates OF duty, but al made by tho demo
cratic party upon the same principle to sym

Ex-Governor Foraker arose in re-
sponse to the call for the committee on
StuSosSN sASt ehAA
to consider the resolutions. An extern.
sion OF tim was granted and the roll Of
states was called for the names of the
new national committeeman.
When Iowa was called and the re.
election Of GARRISON, the Blaine leader,
was announced, cheer after cheer fol-
lowed from the Blaine delegates. A
similar demonstration greeted the re-
port OF h names of j. ii. Marley, Of
Maine, and William Malone, Of Vir-
ginia. and when Missouri was called
and William Warner presented the name
of Richard c.. Kercns the Harrison dele
gates made a grand counter-demonstra-
ton.
Various resolutions and petitions
which had been introduced and sent to
the clerks desk were read by title and
referred to the committee on resolu.
