GAINESVILLE, O., May 2S.-The
nomination for governor by the Re-
publican state convention of Gen. Asa
S. Bushnell is generally regarded as
a victory for the Foraker men over
the Mckinley men, although the re-
suit was not as decisive as the former
expected. The Foraker men were able
to concentrate on Bushnell, and their
remained divided. Ex-Gov.
Foraker, on his arrival at noon, made
several speeches, in which he compli-
mented all the gubernatorial candl-
dates, but he worked for Bushnell,
while Sherman, Foster and other lead
ers opposed the favorite. Hoyt and
Nash made brilliant speeches and were
on the ground hustling, while Gen.
Bushnell remained at his home in
Springfield. Gen. Bushnell was born
in Oneida county, New York, in 1884.
In 1854 he came to Springfield, O.,
where he was dry goods clerk, aft
erwards bookkeeper In 1856 he became
interested in the firm of Warder. Bush
nell & Glessner, manufacturers of
harvesters, and is now the head of that
firm, and worth several millions. He
was a captain in the civil war. He

committee when Foraker was first
elected governor in 1885, and when
Sherman secured his fifth term as SEN
ator. He became noted in the state
by ferreting out the forgeries of tally
sheets at the election of 1885. He has
always been the political and personal
friend Of Foraker and has done more

last Republican national convention at
Minneapolis. On the sixth ballot Gen.

Woodmansee, Secretary Miller and
other officers of the Republican League
of Ohio, together with Ex-Governor
Foraker, who was sitting on the stage
at the time, telegraphed their con-
gratulations to General Bushnell at his
home in Springfield. The Clark county
delegation from Bushnell's home stood
out for General Keifer till the last
ballot, when it gave each half of its
vote. The result of the nomination
was received as great victory for
Foraker. Following are
THE RESOLUTIONS:
The Republicans of Ohio, in state
convention assembled, congratulate
the people of the country upon the sig
nal victory, in the state and congress
sional elections last fall, assuring glo-
rious national victory in 1896, and de-
clare as follows:
First-We reaffirm our adherence to
the principles of the Republican party
as defined by the national convention
in 1892, chief among which are: A pro-
tective tariff, which restoring Ameri-
can wages and American products,
shall prove the highest interests of
American laborers and American de-
velopment while providing adequate
revenue for the uses of the govern
ment; reciprocity, which, while seek
ing and gaining the worlds market for
our surplus products, shall not lower
or destroy American wages nor sur
render our own markets to foreign
commodities which can be produced at
home. Fair elections, based upon
free ballot and an honest count, the
safeguard of American institutions,
the true source of public authority.
Honest money, consisting of gold, sill
yer and paper, every dollar as good
as any other dollar, and all backed by
the national faith and honor. We IA
vor bimetallism and demand the use Of
both gold and silver as standard
money, either in accordance with
ratio to be fixed by and international
agreement if that can be obtained,
or under such restrictions and such
provisions to be determined by legis-
lation, as will secure the maintenance
of the parity of values of the two met
ais, so that the purchasing and debt
paying power of the dollar, whether
of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all
times equal.
Second-We eenounce the present
Democratic administration, whose VIC
ious and vacillating course has brought
us distress at home and humiliation
abroad. 1t has inaugurated a policy
which has deranged business, crippled
our industries, distressed our homes
and dealt labor a serious blow. With
deplorable incompetency, it has failed
to raise revenue enough to run the gov
ernment, and has had to borrow, in
less than two years, $4,000, 600, mainly
to pay ordinary running expenses,
selling in secret to favor foreign syndi-
Gates 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
a republic and restore a monarchy,
and, withsunpatriotic Indifference. has
suffered British troops to land in
in contemptuous disregard
of the Monroe doctrine; by these and
similar acts, our country, second in
power and dignity to none, has suf-
fered a loss of respect throughout the
world
We denounce the free wool provision
of the present tariff act as an unjust
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 pension bureau for its betrayal of
the interests of the Union soldiers, and
we pledge anew to the veterans of the
republic a watchful care and recog-
milton of their just claims upon a
grateful people. We indorse the able,
honest and business-like administra-
ton of Gov. William Mckinley; we are
in favor of biennial ses-
sions, and indorse the action of the
last general assembly in returning to
the policy of the founders of our state
in that regard; we COM
mend the last general assembly for the
care and economy of it's appropria-
tons, taxing privileges and franchises
enjoyed at the hands of the state and
thus relieving to that extent the bur-
dens of taxation now resting upon the
people. Believing the proposed Mica
ragua canal is needed for commercial
extension and national defense, and
that it ought to be constructed and OPP
Grated by the government of the United
States, or under its protection, we COM
mend this project to our representa-
tives in congress.
The election of a Republican hgis-
lature in this state next November will
enable Ohio to send to the United
States senate Republican colleague
to that grand old statesman, John
