state and Ex-Governor Foraker and del
: egations from Cincinnati and southern
Ohio arrived about the same time, and
the distinguished guests were dined by
General Bushnell at his home. The
parade was nearly two miles long, fully
! 5000 men being in line.
Chairman j. z. Goodwin of the Clark
county central committee called the

After prayer, Senator Sherman. as

Mckinley followed, then Ex-Governor
Foraker, and General Jones. candidate
for lieutenant governor, closed the
speaking.
Governor Mckinley left Immediately
for the Grand Army of the Republic
encampment at Lo odisvifle.
In his address Senator Sherman said
the Republican convention at Zanes-
Vile declared Its intention TO do three
things: Elect Bushnell and the other
nominees, send Foraker to the United
States senate and to support Mckinney
for the presidency at the next national
Republican convention.
The Republican party during 80
years of power furnished for the first
time "A truly American currency. 1t
swept from the field the entire system
OF State bank paper and produced a ma
uonal currency composed of notes
issued by the United States, gradually
lifted TO par III gold, and notes of na-
tlonal banks secured by deposit in the
treasury of United States bonds so
well secured that not a dollar has been
lost by the holders of these notes 1t
has coined and maintained at par gold
ana silver COINS amounting TO $50, ,000.-
600, several times as much as were in
circulation at any former period All
this beneticent policy Is threatened by
the Democratic party. and we have the
sorry spectacle of the employment bv
the administration of a syndicate of
foreign and domestic bankers buying
bonds OF the United States at less than
their market value upon condition that
they Will protect the government of
the United States from demands for
gold for United States notes
The administration came into power
by the delusive cry for reform The
alleged reform they have ATTEMPTED is
the repeal of the Mckinley tariff and
the enactment of the Wilson tariff. Its
first fruit was insufficient revenue It's
most important provision was held by
the supreme court TO be unconstitu-
tlonal. 1t sacrificed at one blow the
sheep industry of the United States.
