Choice of the Convention
for Prssid emit.

COLUMBUS, o., June 6.-The Republic
can state convention reconvened at 10 a.
m. Ex-Secretary Charles Foster, as
permanent. chairman, was greeted with
an unusual demonstration. He recount
ed the unparalleled prosperity OF the
country on the date of the national cleo
ton in 1892. From the very day Of
Cleveland's election business confidence
began to be imperiled. When it was
made manifest that tariff reform was
really the purpose OF the party in power,
thus attacking every industry and the
wages OF every laboring man, the crash
came. Truste can get audiences and Sc
cure any legislation they desire, while
the farmer and laborer are denied a
hearing.
Governor Mckinley was given an ova-
ton on entering the hall.
The platform is as follows:
First-We reaffirm the platform and
principles adopted by the Republican
national convention in 1892.
Second-The people of Ohio delight OF
honor their able. distinguished and
patriotic pu bile servant, the Hon. Will
liam Mckinley. They endorsed his ad-
miuistration Of state affairs during his
first term by re-electing him by the
largest majority ever given to any can
didate for governor in time OF peace, and
we, as accredited representatives OF
5000 Repu blicsns do most heartily en-
dorse his most honest, able and efficient
administration. and we assure him our
highest confidence and esteem.
Third-We commend the seventy-6rst
general assembly of the state.
Fourth We commend the course OF
our Republican representatives in con-
gress and of our illustrious senator, John
Sherman.
Fiith-We recognize the tariff OF 1890,
known as the Mckinley act, as the sblest
expression Of the patriotic principle OF
protection yet enacted. and condemn
and deuounce any attempt to repeal or
amend it, which does not have for its
object better protection for labor and
American interests than is insured by it.
Sixth-We denounce the unjust and
inequtable tariff measure known as the
Wilson bill, and the senate substitutes
therefor and amendments thereto, as
unpatriotic, favorable to trusts and Sec
tional in their provisions, and subversive
OF the prosperity and happiness of the
people oil the O0lteu Cthteb.
The change from specific to ad valo-
rem duties would promote under
valuations, fraudulent invoices and in
crease importations. with loss to the
government of many millions, and re-
suit in a constantly increasing national
deficiency which it is proposed to meet
by resort to such war measures at the
income tax and increased internal du-
ties.
Seventh-We denounce the attempt of
congress to destroy the principle OF re-
ciprocity.
Eighth-We endorse the sentiment of
the National Grange, i. O.: That all tariff
laws shall protect the products OF the
farmers 90 we'll az the products of the
factory.
Ninlh-We demand such protection
prices for wool.
Tenth-We denounce the treatment
of American farmers and workingmen
BY the Democrat committee of the sem
ate.

Democratic administration, its Hawa-
iian policy having been q national dis
grace.

tration of the present pension bureau as
q deliberate betrayal of the welfare of
OF union soldiers and sailors.

ment OF such legislation as will prevent
the immigration of the vicious and
criminal classes of laborers under con-
tract, of parpers and anarchists.
Fourteenth-We favor bimetallism.
Silver as we'll as gold 10 one Of the great
products of the United States. Its coin.
age and use az a circulating medium
should be steadily maintained and
stoutly encouraged by the national gov
eminent, and we advocate such q policy
that will, by discrimination, Legislation
or other wise, most speedily restore to
silver it's rightful place 90 money
metal.
Fifteenth-We denounce the avowed
purpose of the Democratic leaders to
restore an era OF "wildcat" and "red
dog' money by repeating the prohib-
itory 10 per cent tax on state bank
issues. All money Of whatever kind
should be under national and not state
control.
Sixteenth - Commends Nicaraguan
canal.
s. M. Taylor WAS renominated for
secretary of state without opposition.
John A. Shnick OF Dayton was nomi-
mated for Judge on the third ballot over
F. J. Dykmsn, candidate for renomina-
ton, and John A. Price; O. E. Gross
WAS renominated. for board of public
works, and 9. A. Carson school COM
