Second-We denounce the present Demo
cratic administration, whose vacillating
course has brought us distress at home and
humiliation abroad. It has inaugurated a
policy looking toward ultimate free trade,
which has deranged business, crippled our in
dustries, distressed our homes and dealt labor
serious blow. With deplorable incompe-
tency it has failed to receive revenue enough
to run the Government, and had to borrow, in
less than two years, $162 100000, mainly to
pay ordinary running expenses, and selling in
secret to favor foreign syndicates the bonds of
the Government at prices far below their actual
value. 1t has lowered the flag in Hawaii in an
un-American attempt to overthrow republic
and restore a monarchy, and, with unpatriotic
Indifference, has suffered British troops to land
in Nicaragua in contemptuous disregard of the
Monroe doctrine. By these and similar acts
our country, second in power and dignity to
none, has suffered loss of respect throughout
the world.
We denounce the free wool provision of the
present tariff act as an unjust discrimination
against an important industry, and demand
such protection for sheep husbandry as will
secure fair prices for American wool. We de-
nounce the present administration of the Pen
sion Bureau for its betrayal of the interests of
the Union soldiers, and we pledge anew to
veterans of the Republic watchful care and
recognition of their just claims upon CRATE
fu1 people.
We indorse the able, honest and business
like administration of Governor Mckinley. Be-
Heying the proposed Nicaragua canal is needed
for commercial extension and National de-
tense, and that it ought to be constructed and
operated by the Government of the United
States or under its protection, we commend

The election of Republican Legislature in
this State next November will enable Ohio to
send to the United States Senate Republican
colleague to that grand old statesman, John
Sherman. For this honorable place in the
upper house of the United States Congress the
Republicans of the State have but one candi-
date, and we, their representatives here assem-
bled give voice to that sentiment in naming
and recommending as their choice for that
position that grand soldier, peerless orator and
patriotic sta tesman, Joseph B. Foraker.
The people of Ohio are proud Of the charac-
ter and career of their distinguished friend
and citizen, William Mckinley. A pure patri-
otto, unselfish life of public service has en-
deared him to the Republicans of the Nation
and justly won him place among the few
chosen by popular acclaim for high station and
great leadership. Believing him to possess in
an eminent degree those rare qualities of
broad, wide and patriotic craftsmanship which
not only fit him for victorious leadership in a
great campaign, but for successful admins
tration after election, we present William Nc
Kinley to the Republicans of the Nation as a
candidate for the nomination for president in
1895, and we pledge him the absolute and I'M
swerving support of Ohio in the National con-
vention.
We have heard with great sorrow of the sud
den and untimely death of the Hon. w. Q.
Gresham, and we extend to his bereaved fam
lily our sympathy and coincidence.
Other resolutions, referring wholly to
State matters, were adopted
At midnight the convention adjourned
