COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 6.-Witf
superb elOquence, Governor Mckinley
to-day received the laurels of success,
and a presage, perhaps of higher
honOrs yet to come.
The great protectiOnist was in mag
nificent form, and in accepting a re-
nomination as republican candidate
for chief magistrate of Ohio he virtu.
ally outlined the declaration of prin-
ciples by which he may be judged as
a candidate for the presidency.
The permanent craftsmanship of the
convention, after much sharp prelimi-
nary skirmishing, had been returned in
the end without bitterness to a pro-
nounced adherent of McKinley's al
legged enemies, while the chairman
ship of the new central committee, fell
in similar fashion to an undoubted adj
mirer of the great protectionist.
THE CONVENTION.
After prayer by the Rev. DIR. n.
H. Holmes, Permanent Chairman.
Harry Daugherty was introduced.
He accepted the position for the young
men of bis party in a neat speech.
Chairman Daugberty was heartily
applauded.
The call of the convention now
rapidly approached. The Duke of
Veragua, entered the hall, and, amid a
salvo of applause, was given seat of
honor in a box near the stage. He
was accompanied by the duchess and
others of his party. Their escort,
Commander Dickens, was in full uni
form. 1t was at this interesting juno
ture that the nomination of Mckinley
was made.
MCKINLEY NOMINATED.
Col. Robert Nevins, of Dayton, in
an eloquent address, put his name be-
fore the convention and it was Sec
onded by a dozen others. The NOM
ination was by reclamation and went
through with rush, many of the dele
gates rising to their feet and to the
evident amazement of the ducal party
cheering like the Indians of whom the
famous ancestor of the duke was the
original discovery.
A committee was at once dispatched
to notify the governor and during the
time Lieutenant Governor Harris was
also renominated by reclamation.
Governor McKinley's entrance was
a signal for terrific outburst of ap-
plause which he acknowledged with
Characteristic modesty. Taking the
platform he accepted the nomination
in an eloquent speech.
M'KINLEY ACCEPTS.
Below is a synopsis of Gov. McKin-
ley's speech accepting the nomina-
ton:
Governor Mckinley said that he accept
ed the nomination both as an honor and
duty. He said that republicanism would
be put to severe test in Ohio this year.
Ohio was the coveted state of the opposition
and they would put forth every effort to
capture it. Republicans would not wait
for the attack Of the enemies, however They
would challenge democracy upon every
issue, state and national, and would per-
NIT the democrats to run away from none
of them.
The governor reviewed the republican
legislation in Ohio, and then turning to
national affairs, he said that the democrat
ic administration had done nothing thus
far, except to create, in the minds business
men, distrust.
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION
The financial situation had not been
improved nor relieved BY anything the adj
minist,ation had done or said. Ithad an
nounced no policy, suggested no ready re-
lief. given no sign of ability to restore
confidence. Mr.. Cleveland, who four years
ago announced that the 100000 900 gold
reserve was a sacred trust fund for the re-
demption of green backs, was the first to
encroach upon that fund for other pur-
poses. Thus, Cleveland's course had justi-
fed the existing alarm. He put up a
danger signal and then deliberately ran
beyond the danger line.
The democratic victory of 1892 has not
been able to bring better times. On the
contrary the business and financial world
was in a condition approaching panic and
no change for the better is apparent at this
moment. 1t might be said the present
administration is not responsible for this
condition. That was not true for If the
president should officially announce that
there would be no change in industrial
Legislation in the country, the financial
situation would be met and solved upon
that standard OF financial honor and
good faith which has guided the repub-
lican party since 1861. Confidence would
return, security would replace alarm, faith
in the future would be restored, gold would
stay at home and money would go from its
hiding places into the great avenues of
business where II hplonps
