In reply to "a inquiry as to the
causes for the result in Ohio, Governor
Mckinley to-day stated that Lawrence
I. Neal. the Democratic candidate for
governor, was recognized as much
free trader as he Mckinley was an
advocate of protection. At the Chica.
go national convention last year thai
nominated Cleveland for preSiden-,
Neal was the author of the an
ti-tariff plank and had it in
serted in the platform instead of the
plank reported by Cleveland's friends
on the committee on resolutions. In
his opening speech in this campaign
at Newark, Ohio, he not only said
that his campaign would be fought on
the lines of the Chicago platform
which had been incorporated into the
state platform on which he stood. but
also SO clearly defined his position as
free trader that the two candida tes
were recognized throughout the can
vass as embodying in their views this
issue as had never been before so dis
tinctly presented to the people.
THE next day after Meals speech
at Newark" said Governor Mckinley,
Il accepted his Interpretation of the
issue as renresented by us respective
ly ana we fought it out on that line
in over 100 public meetings of each
candidate that followed and were in
variab addressed in accordance with
the challenge at Newark and it's
prompt acceptance
Governor Mckinley said the returns
would now speak more forcibly than
he was able to do and he knew of
nothing that he could add except to
say that heretofore the campaigns had
been conducted with complications of
issues, but that this time the fight was
centered on protection with the
leader of free trade clearly defined in
his position and the tariff issue fully
presented at every meeting of all
parties in the canvass.
At p. m. those tabulating returns
at Republican state headquarters said
McKinley's plurality would reach
100, 900. Chairman Dick. however,
said he would not claim over IS. 600
till he had responses from his local
committeeman.
