items and such provisions, to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the main

matters and on the candidacy of N cKinley
says:
1.-THE people of Ohio take satisfaction
in the expressions, coming from every Sec
ton of our common country, OF popular
approval of their distinguished fellow-citi-
zen, William Mckinley The great advo-
cate of protection, who has all his life
stood for America, it's factories, it's farms,
its firesides, finds his reward in the con-
flIence and affection of the people, whose
interests have been his constant care.
AS their candidate for the presidency, the
republicans of Ohio pledge him anew the
absolute, loyal and answering support of
his state at the national convention, and
instruct the delegates chosen to represent
Ohio to redeem this pledge"
