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 the declaration
of principles by which he may be judged
as a candidate for the Presidency. There
were signs of political storm and some-
times a clashing of the elements compOs-
! ing the convention.
The permanent chairmauship, after
much sharp skirmishing, had been relin-
quished without bitterness to a pronounced
adherent to McKinley's alleged enemies,
while the chairmanship of the new State
central committee fell in similar fashion to
the undoubted admirers OF the great pro-
| tectionist.
After the convention was opened by
prayer the permanent chairman, II. Nj.
| Daugherty, was introduced and made a
speech OF acceptance and thanks in behalf
of the young Republicans OF the State.
The climax OF the convention rapidly
approached. The Duke of Veragua en-
tered the hall amid loud applause. and
was given a seat of honor in box, accom-
panied by the Duchess and other members
of the party.

Then Mckinley entered amid an OUT
burst of applause. and taking the platform

the opening he said the nomination was
both one OF honor and one which imposed
duty. lie might foregO the honor. but
not refuse the duty.
| Continuing, he challenged the Demo-
cratic party TO battle on both State ana
national issues. He reviewed at length
the financial situation, pointing out that
Cleveland first fixed the 100000 600 gold
reserve as the lowest safe limit, and having
erected the danger signal. curiously enough
was the first 10 haul it down.
WAS il to be wondered at" he asked
that the people were distrustful, espe-
cially in view of the fact that the admins
tration put forth line of financial pol
icy? If to-day the President would an
nOnnce there would be no change in the
industrial legislation OF the country and the
financial situation, and stood on the stand
ard of financial honor and national good
faith, established by the Republican party,
confidence would at once be restored.
Cleveland says the Sherman silver bill
is the cause of the depression, but does
not convene Congress to repeal it. Is this
because he thinks further financial dis
tress necessary to convince his party of
the necessity for such financial legisla-
ton? If so, Democratic ascendency will
prove a costly lesson.
while waiting for the Democrats to
! carry out the declaration in their platform
on the tariff, the country'S business is
paralyZed because of uncertainty. If they
do as they promised they will revise the

millions Of capital and throwing thousands

But the party is divided into factions
for and against the administration and
split asunder on the tariff and currency

with the gravity of the situation. With
gold President and silver Congress what
can be done? A do-nothing policy must
be the result. The only direction 10 look
for relief is to the Republican party"
The speaker then took up the pension
frauds question. saying he did not object to
striking unworthy pensioners from the
roll, but he declared the ruling of the Sec
retary of the Interior would result in strik-
ing from the pension rolls thousands of
worthy and dependent soldiers. He con-
cluded with eulogy OF the Republican
party and its legislation.
MeKinley's speech was frequently in
terrupted by applause, while the Spanish
Duke gaZed curiously at the scene.
At the conclusion of McKinley's speech
the report of the committee on platform
was read and unanimously adopted by
rising vote.
Then the denomination Iof the present
