COLUMBUS, O., June 6.-The Republic
ans of Ohio nominated the following State
ticket to-day:
Supreme JudgeAJoHN A. SHONCK, of
Dayton.
Members Board Of Public Works-JoHN
School commissioners. t. CARSON.
The nominees are the present incumbents,
with the exception of Shonck. who de-
feated Dickman for denomination. The
convention opened at 10 a m. When Sec
rotary Charles Foster was introduced as
permanent chairman he was greeted with a
round of applause. Mr.. Foster made a
short speech. He recounted the unparal-
leled prosperity of the country on the day
of the national election in 1892. He said
the great law that is known as the Nc
Kinley act was passed by a very small
majority, but there was no trouble then
about the lack of a quorum With Thomas
b. Reed as Speaker Congress did bust
ness" From the very day of C~leveland's
administration business confidence began to
be impaired. A feeling of unrest among
the intelligent people began to manifest It
self. The question, will the Democrats un-
dertake to carry out their pledges. became
a burning one. Even before Cleveland was
inaugurated public confidence in our future
was weakened. AS the fact that our finan-
cial policy was in the hands of inexperi-
enced and possibly incompetent hands
gradually dawned upon our people they be-
came restless and uncertain as to the
future. When, finally, it was made mani
fest that tariff reform was really the pur-
pose of the party in power, thus attacking
every industry and the wages of every
laboring man, confidence in our future was
destroyed and the crash came. In closing,
he said: 1.-THE trusts can get audience with
the committee and trainers of this law and
can secure such legislation as they desire,
while the farmer, and manufacturer, and
laborer are denied a hearing"

lives OF the 4S3,00 Republicans at that
election. do most heartily indorse his pres
ent clean, honorable, able and efficient adj

highest confidence and esteem.
I'VE commend the SevenIy-first General
Assembly of the State.
1--WE commend the course of our Repub-
lican Representatives In Congress and of
our illustrious Senator, John Sherman.
I'VE recognize the tariff act OF 1880,
known as the Mckinley act. as the ablest
expression Of the patriotic principle of pro-
lection yet enacted. and condemn and de-
nounce any attempt 10 repeal or amend
it which does not have for it's object bet
ter protection to American labor and
American interests than is secured by it.
1--WE denounce the unjust and inequitable
tariff measure known as the Wilson bill
and the Senate substitutes therefor and
amendments proposed thereto as I'M
patriot, favorable to trusts and sectional
in their provisions and as subversive or
the prosperity and happiness OF the peo-
specific to ad valorem duty would promote
undervaluations, fraudulent invoices. and
increase importations with a loss Of rev.
enue to the government of many millions
and result in a constantly increasing an
nual deficiency which 1t is proposed to
meet by the resort to such war measures
as income tax and increased internal
duties.
I'VE denounce the attempt of Congress
to destroy the principle of reciprocity.
WE III sc LhC VI lHt ANa-
tional Grange, namely, that all tariff laws
shall protect the products of the farm as
we'll as the product of the factory.
eve demand such protection for sheep
~husbandry as will secure fair prices for
wool. I'D avee aa
I'VE denounce the treatment OF Amer
lean farmers and workingmen by the
Democratic committee Of the Senate.
I'VE denounce the present Democratic
administration it's Hawaiian policy has
been a national disgrace.
I'VE denounce the administration of the
present Pension Bureau as a deliberate
betrayal of the welfare OF Union soldiers
and sailors.
I'VE demand the enactment of such
legislation as will prevent the immigration
of the vicious and criminal classes: Of
laborers under contract; of paupers and
anarchy
we favor bimetallism. Silver as we'll
as gold is one of the great products or
the United States. Its coinage and use as
a circulating medium should be steadily
maintained and constantly encouraged by
the national government; and I'VE advocate
such a policy as will, by discriminating
legislation or otherwise, most speedily re-
tore to silver its rightful place as a money
metal.
"We denounce the avowed purpoe of the
Democratic leaders TO restore the era of
wildcat and "red dog money by repeal
ing the prohibitory 10 per cent. tax on
State bank issues. All money. of what
not State control.
I'VE commend the Nicaraguan canal"
