NJ. J. Brown, a prominent wool dealer Of
Philadelphia:
on a safe count tie wool farmers Of the
country have already sacrificed $50, 700 600

THE Republicans Of Ohio met in State
Convention on Thursday Of last week
and re-nOminated Governor Mckinley
and his present colleagues in office by ac-
clamation. The platform adopted reiter-
ates the unshaken fidelity Of the Buck
eye Republicans 10 the principles Of the
Republican party, and particularly TO its
policy of Protection, of which its nomi-
nee for Governor is the greatest living
advocate. Senator Sherman addressed a
characteristic letterto the Convention, in
which the veteran statesman among 9TH
er things said:
The Republican party has established
q policy which has secured America for
Americans. Il has protected all indus
tries impartially. Il has secured 10 la
Dor its highest rewards not only IN wa
ges, but in opportunities and advance
nent impossible IN other countries II
has secared US a sound currency, the
highest financial credit, general prosper
ity and an uneXampled growth in wealth,
intelligence, invention and development.
IL has cared for the patriotic soldiers Of
the war, their widows and orphans, not
only by honoTs and sympathy, but by
liberal pensions. Compared with tte
empty and fruitless promises of its adj
versaIies, the Republican party has en-
grated its policy in the acts aud execut-
ed then, and now points to the history
Of It's deeds as the best evidence Of what
u viii do IN the future, while Democrat
ic party and q Democratic President can
not agree upon or formulate a single al
hrmatlve measure Of public policy.
The country is nov having a most i'm
pressiye object lesson Of the incapacity Of
the democratic party to govern. II came
into power on a declaration Of principles
il dare not and cannot carry into prac-
tice, and its cowardly, vascillating course
on the financial policy of the govern
ment has nearly produced panic in
business eenters. There viii be a des-
perate effort made to defeat Governor
Mckinley, but the present condition Of
the monetary and business interests Of
the country, after few months expert
ence Of Democratic rule, viii drive
thousands Of intelligent voters TO the
support Of the Republican ticket in
Ohio.

Rills Approvea and go.

The Governor on Saturday approved the
supplement to the Baker ballot law, the
state dental examiners oil, the Philadelphia
Bourse bill, the bill authorizing the capitali-
zsfion Of corporations not exceeding $50
600. 90, and the bin to prevent ineorPora-
ton Of boom companies on streams not
more than ihiriy-iive miles long.
The Governor disapproved six bills. One
Of these proposed to prohibi: the peddling,
selling or hawking Merchandise or other
Goods in the state without q license, aud in
ve;oing il the Governor says he regards it
as "a most vexatious and oppressive inter
ference with the free operations Of legifi-
mate business. and as "a most unWise and
unjust discrimination against the citizens,
manufacturers AID merchants Of our own
state
The Governor also vetoed the act making
an appropriation TO the state agricultural so
ciety In disapproving IT. ne says: This
bin proposes to make an appropriation Of
$4,000 to the Pennsylvania state agricultur-
al society, a private association not under
the control ofthe commonwealth and or
ganized for profit" After quoting a veto
message OF Governor Beaver of a bill in
yolving the same principle, the Governor
SAYS This statement of the case is in ac-
cordance with views frequently expressed
in regard to similar appropriations by the
present executive during this and his former
term. They need not be enlarged nor re-
peaied regard all such appropriations as
at variance with the letter and spirit Of the
constitution, and feel constrained to veto
them regardless Of the general woFthiness of
their objects and my sympathies with the
purposes they are intended to serve"
Another bill vetoed by the Governor pro-
vided an appropriation to aid the several
counties in the construction, improvement
and maintenance Of public roads and pro-
vided the manner of distribution thereof
These reasons are given for the Governors
action " The present condition of the reve-
nues Of the commonwealth and the increese
in the appropriations for public schools rem
der il doubtful whether the condition of the
states finances would warrant this unusual
expenditure for public roads, but even if il
should be certain that the money could be
spared from the public treasury, it is well
known that this appropriation was based
upon and intended to meet the requirements
Of other proposed road legislation, which
failed Of enactment and, therefore, this bill
is not required"
