Applause repeatedly interrupted Nc
Kinley's speech, and the scene during
its delivery was a memorable one. Inc
Spanish Duke gazed curiously from MS
box at the noble looking figure on the
platform that statusque as fine bronze,
was vet with burning words arouslng
the almost frenZied enthusiasm OF the
great audience. The Ducal party re-
NAMED throughout the Governors al

The report of the Committee on heso-
| lutions was as follows:
The Republicans of Ohio by their dele
/ gates in State convention sssemoled ue-
| clare as follows:
/ We indorse and re-affirm the platform
| Of principles adopted by the National Ke-
publican Convention in June, 1872.
.. We endorse and commend the admin
| istration OF Benjamin Harrison while
/ President of the United States as eminent
ly patriotic, wise, pure and just

| in the administration OF the AFFAIRS OF this
| State by Governor VIM, Mckinley, Jr.
| He brought TO the discharge OF his duties
|
I ing. ability ana Craftsmanship and an nom
| est and patriotic purpose; and he mas al
WAYS shown himself capable, faithful ana
wise. We heartily indorse his adnlnlstra-
ton and assure him of our great esteem
! and confidence
We endorse the ection Of the last
! General Assembly in providing by law LOT
! the protection of railroad employees oy
! compelling the use of automatic couplerS
/ 80 49, To-, ont =
| for the taxation of franchises and collater-
al inheritances, and other measures, the Ell
| feet OF which will be to reduce tue burdens
| of taxation on farms and other property.
The platform, after dealing with minor
| local matters, continues as follows;
! We favor the policy Of full and adequate
| protection TO American labor industries.
! rhe best exemplihcation OF reciprocity
! that has found expression in the statutes Is
! the Mckinley Law. We cordially declare
our adhesion to the doctrines OF that great
measure. and favor such amendments
| thereto for protection as time and exper-
| fence may show 10 be advisable. We con-
denn tae bill passed by the Democratic
majority in the House OF Repre-
| sentatives of the last Congress and the
present avowed policy OF the Democratic
! party TO place wool on the free list as an un-
! lust and ruinous attack on all the aSrlcul-
! tural industries of the country. we insist
| on such full and adequate protection Tor
| the wool industry as will enable American
farmers TO supply the wool required for
Iconsumption in the United States. We
| iudorse the policy of the National Grange,
THAT all tariff laws shall protect the pro-
| ducts OF the farm as well as the products
| of the factory"
Continuing the platform calls for free
ballot aud fair count: demands laws pre-,
venting the Importation OF vicious ana
criminal classes and contract laborers;
! adheres TO the Republican policy OF
| granting pensions to wounded and
| disabled Union soldiers and sailors, and
| the widows of such as are deceased. The
| platform concludes as follows:
We favor honest money, composed OF
| gold, silver anu paper, maintained at equal
! value. and under national and not State
regulation. The financial honor OF the
! country must be maintained, and its credit
preserved unimpaired. The weak and
/ vacilating course of the present national
| administration in dealing with the imam
/ cal situation meets our condemnation. We
! denounce the avowed purpose of the Dem
| ocratic party to repeal 1.-THE prohibitory 10
per cent tax on State bank issues" It's
! purpose is to abandon the present currency
| system, established by the Republican par
| ", the safest and best ever provided in any
nation, and to supply its place with cur
rency issued under the authority OF each
one of the forty-four States which can new
er be either safe nor uniform.
The denomination Of present State
| officers was resumed. They went
through with a rush until the conven-
ton came to Food and Dairy Commits
sioEs.
Instantly there was a fight and the
present incumbent, Mcneil, who has
been charged with obnoxiously rigid
enforcement of the pure food laws,
found himself pitted against a new
man, Walter Brown. The fight was
largely the cities against the country.
Attempts were made before the roll
call ended to withdraw Brown in the In
tereSt of harmony. This was finally
successful and Mcneil was nominated
with hurrah, during which the dele
gates aud spectators crowded up TO
shake McKinley's hand and the conven-
ton adjourned sine die.
