Then, seizing the gavel from the
chairman's hand, Gen. Gibson pounded
the table in front of him, and continued:
81 ask that the rules be suspended and
the Big Four be nominated by accla-
nation. All those who are in favor of
that motion please rise to their feet"
Every man on the floor of the house
stood up and cheered. "The motion is
carried" said Gen. Gibson, and then he
sat down, his duty well done.
Ex-Gov. Foraker was then called upon
and stirred the convention with n rous-
ing speech which was continuously in
terrupted by applause that was deafen-
ing. He spoke as follows:
AS Gen Gibson has well said, 1t is now dinner
time. Nevertheless shall trespess upon your
time long enough to thank you not only In be-
half OF myself but also especially on behalf OF
Gen. Bushnell, who is not here, as well as for
my associates, because Of the high honor you
have seen tit to confer upon u.s. AS Gen Gibson
has also said, in substance at least, we have to-
day met the expectations Of the republicans OF
Ohio and Of the United States, and have disap
pointed nobody except only the democrats.
We have made II manifest that the re-
publicans of Ohio have an appropriate ap-
probation OF the importance of the contest
upon which we are entering. We have shown
that we understand that Il Is to be a contest
not only OF national, but even OF international
consequences, character and influences; that
we are TO determine In November next the fate
OF the policy OF protection to American indus
tries and American labor: that we are to deter
mine at the same time whether we shall go for
ward into the development Of that great policy
so happily inaugumted OF reciprocity; that we
are 20 determine at that time whether We shall
continue TO have good honest republican money
u hundred cents In every dollar: that we are
10 determine at that time whether We are 10
continue 90 stand in this country for free ballot
ana fair count
All these great ideas, principles and purposes
OF the republican party are to be at stake In the
contest upon which we are entering IN the
presence OF such struggle IL was our duty 10
subordinate every kind of personal preference,
every character OF factonal spirit, and 10 re-
member here today as We act In the presence
Of the poopl" Of the whole country that we are
republicans and republicans only. We came
here with tn determination that We would have
peace, harmony and unity Of action even II we
had TO fight for IT, We have secured II and we
have secured II without any lighting among our.
selves. We go away from here to-day hav.
ing made selections with which all the
republicans In Ohio. will be satisfied, and
with ticket nominated we can all go 10
the polls and support II zealously, remembering
that II Is representation Of the republicanism
OF this great state From this day forward let
every republican point his gun only at the enc
my. We will have enough in front OF us TO keep
US busy, but We shall successfully care for all
that may be N front OF us. No matter whether
the hosts Of democracy be led by David b. Hill,
Of Now York, OF Grover Cleveland, victory shall
perch upon our banners In November. No
matter what position they take with re-
spoct 10 any Of these questions TO which
/ have referred we shall stand as here
tofore for protection, reciprocity, honest
money, and q free ballot and fair count
and triumph IN the name OF repuhicansm.

Foralser's concluding words had sub
