lican State convention Teconvened at 10
O'Clock. EX-Secretary Charles Foster.
permanent chairman. was greeted with
unusual demonstrations. He recounted
the unparalleled prosperity OF the country
on the date Of the national election ID 1892.
From the very day of CIeveland's election
business confidence began to be impaired.
When it was made manifest that tariff re-
form was really the purpose OF the party
in power, thus attacking every Industry
and the wages of every labOring man, the
crash came. Trusts can get audiences and
secure any legislation that they desire,
while the farmer and laborer are denied
bearing.
Governor Mckinley was given an 0va-
ton on entering the hall. The Auditor Of
State read the report on resolutions,
which was adopted with frequent ap-
plause.

Gus Senator, John sherman.
g. We recognize the tariff of 1890, known as
the Mckinley act, as the ablest expression OF the
patriotic principle of protection yet enacted
and condemn and denOunce any attempt 10 re-
peal or amend It which does not have for its
object better protection for labor and American
interests than is Insured by it.
6. We denounce the unjust ana ineQuitable

the Senate substitutes therefor and amend

The change from specific To ad yalOrem duties
would promote undeTyaluaJiOns, fraudulent in
voices and increase importations with a loss OF
revenue TO the Government of many millions,
and result in a constantly increasing national
deficiency, which it is proposed to meet by the
resort 10 such war measures as income tax and
increased internal duties.
z. We denOunce the attempt OF Congress to
destroy The principle Of ecipToclty.
8. We indorse the sentiment of the National
Grange, i. e, that all tariff laws shall protect
the products Of farmers as well as the products
OF the factory.
8. We demand such protection for sheep hus-
bandry as Will insure fair prices for wool.
10. We denOunce the treatment OF American
farmers and workingmen by the Democratic
committee of the Senate.
II. We denOunce the present Democratic ad-
min'tratiOn. its Hawaiian policy having been a
national disgrace.
II. We denounce the administration of the
present Pension Bureau as deliberate betrayal
OF the welfare Of Union soldiers and sailors.
49, We demand the enactment of such legis-
ton as VIII prevent the immigration Of the vi
cious and criminal classes of laoorers under
contract, of paupers and anarchists.
II We favor blmetallism. Silver as well as
gold is one OF the great products of the United
States. Its coinage and use as a circulating
m dunn should be steadily maintained and
stoutly encouraged by the National Govern
ment, and We advocate such policy as will, by
discrimination, legislative or otherwise, most
speedily restore to silver its rtghtful place as a
money metal.
Is. We denOunce the av0wed purpose of the
Democratic leaders to restore the era of wild
cat' and red dog'' money by repeating the
prohibitory 10 per cent tax on State bank
issues. All money of whatever Kind should be
under national and not State control.
The sixteenth paragraph commends the Mica
raguan canal.
S. NJ. Taylor was renominated for Sec
rotary of State without opposition.
John A. Shaniek of Dayton was nomi-
mated for Judge on the third ballot, over
F. j. Dykman, candidate for renomina-
tion.
John a. Price and c. z. Gross were re-
nominated for Board of Public Works and
o. T. Cars on fer School Commissioner.
The inference dra wn from reports is that
Foraker is the favorite for United States
Senator and Mckinley for President
