CoLuNBrs, June a.-With superb elo-
quencc Governor Mckinley to-day received
the laursls of success. the prestige, per-
haps, OF higher hofors yet to come. The
great protectionist was in magnihcent
form. and in accepting denomination ~
the republican candidate for governor OF
Ohio he virtually outlined declaration Of
principles by which he may be judged - .
candidate for the presidency.
The permanent chairmanship, after
much sharp skirmishing, had been re-
lipuished without bitterness 10 q pro-
nounced adhcrent of McKiniey's alleged
enemies, while tho Craftsmanship OF the
new state central committee fell in simi-
lar fashion to undoubted admirers OF the
great protectionist. After the convention
Chairman Dougherty was introduced and
made speech Of acceptance and thanks
on behalf Of the young representative OF
the state.
The climax Of tho convention rapidly
approached. Tho Duke de verAgua enc
tered the hall amid loud applause. He was
given the seat Of honor in o box, accom-
panied by the duchess and other members
Of tho party. At this juncture Col. Robert
Nevins in an eloquent address nominated
Mckinley for governor and was seconded
by a dozen others and the nomination
was made by acclamation. While waiting
for the committee to bring Mckinley In,
Lieutenant Governor Harris was renom-
mated by acclamation. Mckinley en-
tered amid an outburst Of applause and
taking the platform delivered his address
OF acceptance.
In opening he said the nomination WAS
both an honor aud one which imposed .
duty. He might foreeo the honor. but
could not refuse duty. Continuing he
challenged tho democratic party to battle
on both state and national issues. He re-
viewed at length the financial situation,
pointing out that President Cleveland hrst
fixed si00.Op.0 900 gold reserve a. the

the situation. With q gold president and

do-nothing policy must be the result. The
only direction to look for relief is 70 the
republican party.
Tho speaker then took up the pension

rolls, but declared the recent ruling OF the
secretary Of the interior would result in

speaker concluded with q eulogy OF the
republican party and its legislation.
McKinley's speech was frequently In.
tcrrupted by applause. The Spanish
duke gaxed curiously at the scene. At the
conclusion Of McKinley's speech, tho 70

read and unanimously adopted by rising

Then the denomination Of the present
state officers was resumed and went
through with rush till the food and dairy
