In addition to the 'torches and blazing
Nominations along the line of march
there was a great display Of fireworks.
The hall was filled before the parade
reached It. Governor Bushnell and

man opened the meeting and presented
Senator Foraker as the presiding cia-
Ger. senator Foraker made a stirring
address Of an hour-iti support Of Judge
Mesh for governor and the endorsement
ofiPresidmt, Mckinley.
Senator Foraker in the very outset
emphasized. the Importance of an over
whelming Republican victory in Ohio
preceding the presidential contest. This
was never more needed than now as an
emphatic endorsement Of President Nc.
Rinleys administration. an ad1ninistra-

before his election. Moreover. he had.

Presidents administration and the way

President Of the United States amid
prolonged applause. He began by
pointing ont what he had done in New
York toward eliminating any corvup

said, was to prove his sincerity to HIS
audience. He then said in part:

America and civilization is the why 10
which the adherents Of Agulnaldo In the
Philippines, and,his apologlstsrhere, pat
one another on the back. and another
striking feature is the wild inventive,
the savage and incoherent violence OF
the language employed by these apOs-
tics Of peace. Yet, after all, It is hut
natural. They are repeating precisely
the tactics of the copper-heads Of the
civil war. The other day Ohio sent 20
