AFTER THE PRESIDENCY
He Virtually Outlines His Declaration
OF Principles.
1he Policy by Which He May Be Judged
as Candidate for the Presidency
Before the Next National Re-
publican Convention.

COLUMBUS, o., June S.-With superb
eloquence Governor Mckinley today re-
ccived the laurels of success, the presage,
perhaps, Of higher honors to come. The
great protectionist was in magnificent
form, and in accepting the denomination
as the Republican candidate for governor
OF Ohio, virtually outlined in his declara-
ton of principles the policy by which he
may be judged as a candidate for the
presidency. The permanent chairman
ship, after much sharp skirmishing, had
been relinguished without bitterness to a
pronounced adherent of McKinley's al
legged enemies, while the Craftsmanship of
the new state central committee fell, in
similar fashion, to an undoubted admirer
of the great protectionist.
After the convention had been opened
by prayer, Permanent Chairman II. NJ I.
Daugherty was introduced and made a
= speech of acceptance and thanks, in be-
half of the young Republicans OF the
state. The climax OF the convention
rapidly approached. The Duke of Yer
aqua entered the hall amid loud applause.
He was given a seat of honor in box,
accompanied by the duchess and other
members of the party.
At this juncture Colonel Robert Nevins
in an eloquent address nominated Nc
Kinley for governor, and was seconded
by dozen others and the nomination
was made by reclamation. While wait
ing for the committee to bring Mckinley
in, Lieutenant Governor Harris was
nominated by reclamation. Then McKiu-
ley entered amid an outburst OF applause

Democratic party to battle on both state

length the financial situation, pointing
out that Cleveland first fixed hundred
million dollars gold reserve as the lowest
Eafe limit, and having erected the danger
signal, curlouSIy enough was the first 10
haul it down. " as it TO be wondered at
that people were distrustful. especially in
view OF the fact that the administration
put forth no line of financial policy?
''If today the president would announce
that there will be no change in the indus
trial legislation of the country and the
financial situation were met and solved
on the standard of financial honor and
national good faith established by the
Republican party, confidence would al
once be restored. Cleveland saws the
Sherman silver bill is the cause OF the de-
preston, but he dots not convene Con-
gress to repeal it. Is this because he
thinks further financial distress necessary
TO convince his party of the necessity Of
ouch financial legislation? Il so, the
Democratic ascendency will prove costly
lesson.
