League, which held its fourth an
nual convention today. Incoming trains

il veil nigh impossible Tor him 10 make
his way to the state house. where the state
league club Was in session. The hall OF
the house of representatives was packed,
and as the governor entered the cheers

ing. Mr.. c. w. Raymond. vice president
of the league. performed Vie duty of maxi
ing an introduction, charaeterixsng Gov.
Mckinley as being nearer the hearts of
the American people than any man living.
Renewed cheering, continuing for several
minutes, followed this. and when IL had
supsided three cheers for "the next presi-
dent" were given, AMI when il was sug-
gested by some one .'to let IL so again.
three more rang out.
The governor acknowledged the hearth
ness of the greeting. and. after telling the
club what IL should do toward securing .
great victory in ILLINOIS. added:
"You have everything 10 inspire you.
Few states IN the Union have such inspi.
ration as the state Of Illinois, You have
in your keeping the ashes of Lincoln.
America has In its keeping his immortal
name. and the Republican party has In
its keeping the principles for which
he contended when alive, and these splen.
did principles still survive. Ohio has al-
ways claimed some share in the nominal
ton of Mr.. Lincoln for the presidency.
In 1850. In the city Of Chicago. when the
third ballot had been taken. Mr.. Lincoln
lacked one aud one-haif votes TO give him
the nomination. A, the end of the third
ballot there vas a hushed silence through
out that great wigwam. Mr. ID. X. Carter, OF
Canton. o.. an old neighbor and friend OF
mine. who preceded me IN congress, rose
in his place and transferred three votes
from Salmon II. Chase 20 Mr.. Lincoln,
making him tho nominee. Applause
Some other state might have done IL; soms
other state would have done IL. but this
fact remains, Ohio did IL. We have treas-
ured that fact with increasing pride and
love ever since. Applause.
you are engaged In a splendid cause.
We have no patronage TO bestow: our
cause rests upon principles, and II these
principles are sufficient We will give EN-
ploymcnt and wages to many thousands
more who are working at starvation
wages. We are ready now for change,
and we want to commence now TO bring
IL about. Ohio will do her part. don't
forget that We will pat SIX Republicans
in the national house OF Representatives TO
take the place of six Democrats who ara
there now 10 unite with your Republicans
and others from Other states To prevent
the Democratic party from wholly de-
stroying our industries and degrading
American labor and American citizen
