MckinIey's Ideas.
Among other things Mckinley said:
In the present political divisions Of
the Senate of the United States. which
are extremely close, a single senator
may determine the political complex
ion of that body for years to come. It
is the purpose of the people of this
country in the next national contest
TO give the Republican party full
power, and I firmly believe it is of the
highest moment that We inaugurate
that work here in Ohio and this year
make certain the election of a Repub-
lican United States senator. All differ
ences and divisions, if any have here
tofore existed, should be swept away,
now and forever, and all Republicans
should rally as one man to secure d
decisive majority in both branches Of
the legislature, which shall make GER
tain and triumphant the election to
the United States Senate of ex-Gov-
ernor Foraker, the choice of the Re
publicans Of the state.
Governor Mckinley summarized the
platforms of both the Republican and
graduated the people that at last the
Ohio Democracy had declared for
sound money. After criticizing the
foreign and domestic policy of the
Cleveland administration, the COVER

contention in Ohio is the tariff He
quoted Cleveland as opposing Senator
Brice as regards the Brice-Gorman
act, and he also quoted the Cincinnati
Enquirer as declaring that a veto by
Cleveland would be clean up of much
rubbish and uncleanliness in the Dem
ocratic household.
Tariff the Issue.

tective duties which are retained by
the Brice-Gorman-W Wilson act shall re-
main and the law be a permanent set

the law. using the language of Mr..
Cleveland, which puts the wool of the
farmer on the free list and the protec-
ton of coal and iron ore of corpora

the approval of the people of Ohio by
their votes in December next?
My friends, there is one objection
to the law if there were no Others.

possible. 1t fails to raise the revenues
for the daily expenses of the govern
ment. That would condemn it in the
judgment of the American people.
whatever difference they might have
on the question of protection and free
trade. The law from the date of its
enactment to the present time, and il
is now a year old. has not raised
money enough from customs duties and

the necessary expenses of the govern
ment"
No Prosperity.
Said he: 'Tt is loudly proclaimed
the Democratic press that
has come. I sincerely hope
that it has. Whatever prosperity we
have, has been a long time coming
and after nearly three years of bust
ness depression, ruinOus panic and

may be at the dawn of better times

every successive Republican victory.

he election of a Republican Congress
would strip the Democratic party of
power to further cripple the enterprises

he Democratic party is voted out of
power in every branch of the national
government"
Taking up the financial question. the
governor said

financial policy of Mr.. CIeveland's first
administration, which is so warmly

ton, the government has been COM
