Prosperity, Good Times and Money in
Plenty.
GAINESVILLE, O., May 2S-The republi-
a can state convention inaugurated its
business this afternoon with cheers for
Mckinley and an ovation for John
Sherman. 1t was one of the largest con-
ventions that has ever responded to the
call of the party managers. Five thou
sand people-a thousand too many for
comfort or convenlence-were packed
Fl into Memorial hall. The various polit-
ical leaders as they entered the hall
were greeted with applause. When,
however, just before the convention was
called to order the tall form of Senator
Sherman was seen moving down the
aisle toward the platform, all previous
X demonstrations were punched into one.
The delegates on the floor and the spec
tators in the gallery Jumped to their
feet and there went up a mighty shout,
"a
State Chairman j. C. Bonner raped
for quiet a few minutes after o'clock
and Rev. DR.. Anderson prayed that the
voice Of the convention be as the voice
Of God. Then the state chairman es-
sayed an introductory speech, but his
voice was barely audible to the front
IA benches, and the rest of the convention,
" firing of the dumb show, proceeded to
guy the unfortunate chairman with
. ironical cheers and shouts of "Cut it
lshort'' and "Leave to print" When,
n however, raising his voice above the din
he made complimentary allusion to
81 ex- Governor Foraker, the irony was
#turned into enthusiasm and there was a
repetltion on a smaller scale of the Sher-
man ovation. Mr.. Foraker bowed and
#re-bowed his acknowledgements, but the
noise grew louder and finally he allowed
#himself to be escorted to the platform,
where he dramatically shook hands
with Mr.. Sherman and took a seat by
1|him.
Chairman Bonner resumed his adj
dress, but the cries for Foraker contin-
ued until the latter made a request for
Drder. A third time the chairman took
Mp his notes. but the babel was recon-
menced and he gave it up in despair.
#Amidst the bowling the whispered IN

assuming the gavel without the formal
Xty Of an Introduction, reprimanded the
convention and suggested that those be |
. fore him were not in fit state of mind
o select a candidate.
In the speech which he delivered he
aid in part:
We are in favor of a protective tariff.
I'VE had such a tariff. While it was
In force we had prosperity good times, |
md money plenty. We had SO diversi-
lied our domestic industries that Amer |
can labor and American capital sup
bned nearly all the wants of the Ameri-
an people We prefer to tax foreign |
broductfons rather than our own. We |
believe that the policy of protection |
hould be extended to- all productions
'mpartially--to labor on the farm as |
yeI as labor In the workshop. We |
ire opposed to the democgatic policy |
If protecting woolen manufactures and |

annually increases the public debt more

aw of the last congress is partly

good of 1T was taken from the Nc

land a reform in the tariff, not to pro-
ote sectional interests, but to secure

ave only by the election of a repub-
