GAINESVILLE, o., May 29.--The Republi.
can state convention inagurated Its busi.
ness here yesterday afternoon with cheers
FOR Mckinley and Foraker, and an ovation
for John Sherman.
1t was one of the largest conventions
that has ever responded to the call Of the
party managers. Five thousand people
1000 too many for comfort and convenience
were packed INTO Memorial hall.
Colonel Bonner called the convention to
order and introduced to the assemblage
Senator John Sherman as the temporary
chairman. Mr.. Sherman's address was
mainly devoted to praise Of the protective
tariff. He emphatically denounced free
coinage of silver, saying that it meant
repudiation of all debts public and pri-
vate. He declared that bimetallism was
the only true policy on the silver question.
Continuing, he said:
"What you will say here will have an
important influence beyond the limits of
your state, for the intelligent action Of the
Republicans Of Ohio will, as In the past,
indicate the opinion Of Republicans In all
parts Of the United States. We have q
common faith and creed. We act together
on great matters on principle, on small
matters for discipline. The primary and
fundamental sentiment OF the Republican
party is love for our country, our whole
country. We are for the Union, ono and
indivisible, now and forever. The Repub-
licans Of Ohio are not provincial, but ma
tional.
"This is our cornerstone, planted in the
first Republican convention in Ohio In
1855. We stood by 1t in the STORMS Of war
when Lincoln was our standard bearer.
Our soldiers fought for 1t under Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan. The soldiers Of
Ohio Carried our flag iH every great battle
of the war for the preservation of the
Union. Other patriotic citizens and SOL
diers were equally deserving Of honor and
praise, but they could not carry their party
with them. When Grant was in the
Wilderness and Sherman was before At
lanta, great party declared the war
failure. Ours made 1t a success. When
the war was over we did not treat our
enemies as conquered subjects, but as err
ing brethren. We invited them back into
the Union with unabridged powers, pre-
scribing only one condition, that there
should be no slaves in our country. We
now meet them and greet them as friends,
And turning our backs on dead issues we
congratulate them on their prosperity,
which they did not and could not have In
their condition prior to the war.
LET us then, with firm reliance upon
the principles, policy and wisdom of the
great party to which we belong, nominate
our candidate and declare our platform,
and then make our appeal to the intelli-
gence Of the people of Ohio. In all the
great issues made In the last 40 years, the
Republican party of Ohio has had the
courage to propose and to do what is right,
Let us now follow In the same pathway,
and we will not only elect Republican
governor and state officers, but also another
Republican senator, and / hope Presi-
dent of the United States from Ohio'
