Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.
COLUMBUS (O.), June S.-With superb
eloquence Governor Mckinley to-day re-
ceived the laurels of success, a presage
perhaps of higher honors 10 come. The
great protectionist was in magnificent
form, and in accepting the denomination
as the Republican candidate for Governor
of Ohio he virtually outlined his declara-
ton of principles by which he may be
judged as candidate for the Presidency.
The permanent Craftsmanship, after
much sharp skirmishing, was relin-
pushed without bitterness to a pro-
nounced adherent of McKinley's alleged
enemies, while the Craftsmanship of the
new State Central Committee fell in
similar fashion to the undoubted admir-
ers OF the great protectionist.
After the convention had been opened
by prayer the Permanent Chairman, H.
NJ. Daugherty, was introduced. He made
speech of acceptance and extended
thanks on behalf of the young Repub-
hcans of the State.
The climax of the convention then rap
idly approached. The Duke of Veragua
entered the hall amid loud applause and
was given seat Of honor in a box. He
was accompanied by the Duchess and
other members of the party.
At this juncture Colonel Robert New
ems, in an eloquent address, nominated
Mckinley for Governor. He was Sec
onded by dozen others, and the nom-
nation was made by reclamation. While
waiting on the committee to bring Nc
Kinley in, Lieutenant Governor Par
ris was renominated by reclamation.
Then Mckinley entered amid an out
burst Of applause and taking the platform
delivered his address of acceptance. In
opening he said that the nomination was
both an honor and one which imposed a
duty. He might forego the honor, but
he could not refuse the duty. Continu-
ing, he challenged the Democratic party
to battle on both State and National is
sues.
He reviewed at length the situation,
pointing out that Cleveland had first
tiXeu the Sl00.000,000 gold reserve as the
lowest sale limit, and, having erected
this danger signal, curiously enough was
the first to haul it down.
WAS it to be wondered at if the people
were distrustful, especially in view of the
fact that the Administration put forth no
line of financial policy? If to-day the
President would announce that there
would be no change in the industrial leg
islation ofthe country and the financial
situation would be met and solved on
the standard of financial honor and ma
tional good faith, established by the Re-
publican party, confidence at once would
be restored.
cleveland says that the Sherman sill
yer bill is the cause of the prevailing de-
preston, but he does not convene Con-
gress to repeal it. Is this because he
thinks that further financial distress is
necessary 10 convince his party of the
necessity of such financial legislation?
If so, Democratic ascendancy will prove
a costly lesson.
while waiting for the Democrats to
carry out the declarations in their plat
form on the tariff, the country's business
is paralyzed because of the uncertainty.
Ii they do as they promised, they will re-
wise the tariff on a British free trade
basis, striking at many industries, max
ing prohtless millions of capital and
throwing thousands of American work
ingmen out OF employment. If the ex-
pectation of what the Democrats would
do has destroyed confidence, what will
the full realization do? But party di-
vided into factions for and against the
Administration and split asunder on the
tariff aud currency issues is poorly pre-
pared to grapple with the gravity of the
situation. With gold President and a
silver Congress what can be done? The
only direction in which to look for re-
lief is to the Republican party"
The speaker then took up the pension
frauds question, saying he did not object
to striking unworthy pensioners from
the rolls, but he declared that the ruling
of the Secretary of the Interior and the
revision of the pension rolls would result
in striking from the list thousands of
worthy, dependent soldiers. The speaker
concluded with eulogy of the Republi-
can party and its legislation.
McKinley's speech was frequently in
terrupted by applause. The Spanish
Duke gazed curiously at the scene. At
the conclusion Of Mckinley's speech the
report of the Committee on Platform was
read and unanimously adopted by ris-
ing vote.
Then the denomination Of the present
State officers was resumed and put
through with a rush.
The platform indorses the National Re-
publican platform of 1892 and the admin
istration OF President Harrison; fayors
protection to American labor and indus
tries, and reciprocity; protests against
free wool; declares that the tariff laws
should protect the products of the farm as
well as the factory; demands the enact
ment of laws to restrict immigration:
condemns Is unfriendly and unjust the
policy of the present administration to-
ward pensioners, and denounces the
avowed purpose of the Democracy to re-
peal the bank tax.
The ticket nominated was as follows:
Governor. William Mckinley; Lieuten-
ant-Governor, Andrew l.. Harris; State
Treasurer, William I. Cope; Attorney
General, John X. Richards; Supreme
Judge, Joseph Bradbury; member OF the
Board Of Public Works, Frank J. Nc
