Compliments Nnsh.
There are things. however we can
talk about. We can talk OF the leader
nominated for governor last week in
Columbus. The chairman OF that con-
ventlon said that the Democratic party
always views with alarm and we al
ways point with pride, and we point
with IN exultant pride to the Chris
tian statesman who has filed with
honor every trust committed to his
care, whose heart is us warm as the
sunshine. whose character Is as pure
and spotless as the driven snow. and
who next January win. be Governor
Nash, VI Ohio. 1t isn't true that he
Is the nominee OF any boss, If there
were bosses In that convention they
came to him. The delegates In that
convention. the men and women who
watched Its beauty and It's storm, and
heard Its shout OF triumph, the men Of
| the Republican party Of Ohio wantel
George X. Nash for governor. know
whereof speak when say he has
won his nomination without d promise
to any man.
We may talk OF how the Republican
party OF the Buckeye State has put Its
restraining hand upon the trusts. The
last legislature passed laws prohibiting
the formation Of monopolies. and an
| Ohio attorney general has won fame
that Is national In the enforcement Of
those laws. -
And then we can talk OF how the Re-
publican party has magnIflcently
fought and won another war. do
not know that we have name for 1t
vet. Some one has suggested that we
call It the "American-Spanko" war. In
1t we have reached the sublimest mo-
ment In the history Of our country. A
new statute has been written In inter-
national law. Henceforth. govern
ments must govern right or they lose
the right to govern. Henceforth, in
the diplomacy of the nations the strong
shall battle for the weak.
In this war the Democratic party
has again showed Its incapaclty for
| great affairs. II demanded war when
there were neither guns, ammunition,
food or clothing to fight 1t with It
demanded the recognition Of the Gu
ban Insurgents. which would have
made them the governing powGr OF the
island to-day. with murder and an
archy rampant. 1t hurled Its endless
torrent OF abuse against the President,
while be was secretly sending powder
and ball across the continent and over
the Pacific, until the cablcgram from
Manila Bay struck them speechless
Now they would throw away the fruits
OF victory, and stop the rnurch OF pro-
gress.
How wonderful have been the results
Of the war. There Is now no North.
no South, no East, no West, but land

Results Oft War.
Another result of the war Is Its he
rocs and heruineg. Who are he heroes
and herolnes Of this war? First, there
Is the COOL careful planning command
er who laid the plans by which the
Spanish fleet was bottled up In SANTA
go. and who maintained the dull, but
effective blockade Of Cuba, William T.
Sampson. Then there's the terror OF
the seas. who drove the Brooklyn, clad
In thunder and lightning, into the thick
Of the battle. and shot Cervcra's fleet
to the bottom of the sea, Winfield Scott
Schley. There's the lord Of the Pacific,
who rode Into Manila Bay over mines
and under batteries, right Into the laws
OF death and hell. winning the most
marvellous naval victory OF the age, and
his name Is Dewey. And there's the
comInander-in-chief of the army and
| navy OF the United States. he who fed
| the starving reConCentradoes, at whose
command every Spanish dungeon
swung open. and every American cIti-
zen came forth 4 free man: he who said
| to Spaiu,' take Weyler home; he who
stood for peace TIL there was no peace:
who stood like n wall of adamant
against the insane haste which would
have hurled us unprcpared into n har-
vest OF death and disaster, yet who,
when war came, fought 1t like one of
the greatest captains Of the century.
and who In 1t all has written his name
as high as Lincoln's and as Grants, the
son of these grand old hills OF Ohio,
President William Mckinley.
| And there's Hobson and Roosevelt
and Shafter. and immortal Joe Whee-
