The record-union., 1897-06-24
Faithfully welded to the principle of

protection. we demand for the wool
growers of Ohio such ample protection
for wool as shall speedily increase
American fiocks sufficiently to supply
all American needs.
We indorse the wise faithful and
satisfactory administration of Govern
or Bushnell and congratulate the peo-
pie of this State upon the financial con-
dition of the commonwealth, which
demonstrates that the legislative pow
er of the State was economically and
honestly exercised by Republican
Legislature.
We promise a continuance of bien-
NAL sessions, such legislation as may
be necessary to remedy the present
inequalities of taxation, the making
of only such appropriations as may be
properly required for the needs of our
rapidly-gr growing State, and the avoid
ance of unnecessary special legislation,
believing that the Republican idea of
home rule is the best subserved by
leaving the broadest possible powers of
local government with the people. The
success of the Republican party will
insure the advantages of better
schools, better roads and all those
progressive ideas which will keep Ohio
at the head of the sisterhood of States.
The thanks of the people of this
State are due to Senators Foraker and
Hanna for their splendid efforts dur
ing the present session of Congress,
and we congratulate the people on
their representation in the United
States Senate.
Desiring to continue such represen-
tation, and appreciating his services
to the party and to the people of the
State and nation and his eminent and
proven fitness for the position, we in
dorse the candidacy of the Hon. Mar
Gus A. Hanna for the United States
Senate to succeed himself, and pledge
the support of the party in the next
general assembly to his election to
both the short and long terms.
The mention of Senator Hanna's S
name was greeted with loud demon
strations and after the resolution was
adopted Hanna was called upon. He
thanked the convention for their ex-
preston of confidence and pledged
himself to cooperate with the STAN
dard bearer (BushnelD for Republican
success in Ohio.
Senator Hanna said the Republicans
had been warned that this was a dan
gerous year. He joined in accepting
the challenge. The Republicans of
Ohio always fight best when there is
danger ahead. The opposition pro-
pose to stir up the once-threshed
straw. They will revive free silver in
Ohio, but never again free wool.
He discussed the pending tariff bill
at length and paid high tribute to
General Grosvenor for his work in the
House of Representative for protec-
ton. Senator Hanna said he was now
trying in the Senate to keep up with
General Grosvenor S pace in the House.
The Senator paid the highest tribute
to President McKinley's efforts to bring
about prosperity and the best possible
conditions of the country. The Presi-
dent had many difficulties to overcome,
but he would meet the predictions of
his friends and the hopes of everybody.
