They say It Is unconstitutional and un-American to extend our territory.

We should give ba.-x Florida and Key West to Rpatn. Texaa and the California country, with all its goiu, to aiexi co. Alaska to Russia and Hawaii to Queen Lit, and when this had been done I presume our dimlnlnhed and diminutive possessions would nult the throbbing ambition of these gentlemen that we should not become an Imperial power.

If we would we can no longr remain Insular; th" boundaiia of this continental bIt will no longer retrain the Influence and energies of the elg-hty millions of people.

We shall not do thK The Influence I would wield would come through the force and potency of a splendid nnty and a splendid merchant mailne. I would send shlpa or war and ships of peace bearing at their masthead the stars and stripes and the white banner of pence. Into every part of k world and upon every billow of the sea. J would aend 'the product of our ahops and fac tories, of our mines and farms, upon American ships manned by American seamen wherever there were people to buy and water to float the ships. To do tills we must have commercial bases abroad. On the other shore of the Pacific five hundred mllllona of people are emerging from barbarism; civllixatUn will multiply their wants and desires a thousandfold, and clvtliratlon will supply these wants and satisfy theet desire.

With these fool holds in the western ocean wa shall secure our share, of the Imperial , commerce of the orient, and add to our Indue- j trtnl supremacy the supremacy o( the sea. The democratic tiarty never points witn pnne It views with alarm and promisee for the fu-1 ture. If the democratic brethren were getting up n political panthon they would be a little embarrassed at the dearth of modem gods. They have no heroea until t-wy reach Jefferson, three-quarters of a century in his honored grave at Montlcello. Cleveland they have dls- j owned, discarded and thrown overboard to sink j or swim. Huchanun they have been trying to forget, but he atlcks to their memories line a burr, Pierce and Polk they have forgotten. il even the old trad t on of Jacksoman sim plicity has been lost In the oriental and trana- ! Atlantic splendor of the Crokera and Mcleans. The democratic party never naa any cnaunng , principle: It has some feelings which It mis takes for principle, but It never keeps Its principles or feelings long enougn io discover the difference. In 192 tt solemnly declared that the whole trouble with the country was high prices, and that the sole remedy was free trade. In 1SW It as solemnly declared that the whole trouble with the country was low prices, and the sole remedy was free silver. They de clared that he country could never prosper again without the free and unllmted coinage of stiver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without the aid or consent of any other nation. We amended the democrajtlo proposition a Mine for free and un limited coinage of silver we substituted gooo old republican protection, and with that, "with out the aid or consent of any other nation, we have been doing what the Enquirer saya la an amaiir.g business. In fact. I think we could denominate the general and tin I venal condi tion of the country as one of exuberant pris- perity without exaggeration, and nofwllhsand Ing the democratic brethren said It wa Impos sible without the free coinage of silver. The republican parly always fulfilled Its pledges, and fulfilled them promptly. Its prom- in 1RM was for the enactment or a tann law which would protect American labor and American industry. Within fifteen daya of the Inauguration of McKlnley concresa was assem bled in extra aexston. and In fifteen day more the ting!ey bill had pa iced the house. In due time the bill passed Ihe senate, and unuer u protecting and stimulating Influence our coun try was rescued from distress and disaster of democrctlc free trade. We promised In 1' that If given the power we would make such amendments to our cur rency lawi aa would correct their evils and plant our monetary system upon a uaMK aounu and enduring. No power was given ua to make amendment until the election of the rresent congress, and within fifty days after It had come Into existence a republican commltee of Is members met and prepared a plan In ruifin- nunt of that pledge. Aa a member of that :. 1). CAM K RON" OP CCa-L'MBIANA COUNTY. committee. I am not at liberty nt this time to Unclose i ven the substance of d termina tion, but an a member of the republican party I am at liberty to declare what the republican party prop. me to do now that It ha iwer in both branches of con a reus uhd In the execu tive, It i-ropfrses to enwet into f-nm of law the i'old standard, and then It propose to keep ev rv dollar In ue In the country up to that standard. It Is g-dng to do this so that here- fttr no d-x'trinmre or mountebank catching the people off their guard, can thrust ulsordt r I and demoralization Into our financial arTairs at home and discredit us abroad. I More thin ten years ago the republican party In national ConventU n dudared as follows: "We declare our opposition to all comhina- : tf-ns o( capital, organized . trust to coi.trol arbitrarily the condition of trade amung our citizens; an.l we recommend to congrec and the state legislatures In their resiectlve Juris diction sue h leirltlatlon a will prevent the ex ecution f all ei'liemes to oppress the people by undue charge on their supplies, or by unjust rates fnr the transiortatlon of their product to market. We approve the legislation of con grcuR to prevent alike unjust burdens and un fair discriminations between the tates." This declaration waa within a year of the organiza tion of the firat truit tn th TfnTted State, In the congress following John Sherman, thn n senator of the United State, Introduced In he penute a bill with a title a follow: "To declare unlawful trusts and combinations In restraint of trade and product." On the 2fith of June. 1VJ0, thU bill became a law. with the following title: "An act to protect trade and commerce again unlawful restraints and mo nopolies " In many of the state the republi can party passed laws making unlnwful thee combinations and monopolies. Republican offi cials have been Industrious and persistent In prosecuting violation of these anti-trust laws, and under decluh ns rendered In these proxecu tlons many of these combinations have been dissolved. The supreme court of the United State, a tribunal fur above politics or politi cal influence, but a majority of whose mem bers are republican, rendered decisions which dissolved the Joint Traffic and the Trans-Mls-slssippl associations, two gigantic railroad combination. Intended to eontrol and fix rail road charge. Other case are pending where in the anti-trust laws will be enforced. In Ohio republican nttorney general hare been faithful and InduMrious-ln prosecuting all combination ur trust In violation of Ohio's anti-trust law. And yet the democratic party charge us with being the friends of trust. The republican party Is against ull Illegal ur wrongful or Injurious combination of caplfil whereby It t Intended to control prices and suppress comietltl'in, and It will enact laws and elect officer to execute them until theae combination are broken up and their existence rendered Impossible, And now. n y republican brethren, let lis have peace. Itlvalry and competition for place or position or power may have strained a little the bond of our affivtinn, but It mut not, It cannot break the tie which bind u to the re publican party. Now and here in thl splendid republican ptestnee. hiking Into the face uf nur heme living, and looking upon the pic tured face of our re-iooa dead. In the name of the republican party and all It has done for our country. M ud strike hands, and. following the had of McKlnley and Koraker and Haunt and Oroavenur and Itushnell and the rest, let u go forth from thl convention united and to victory. The dtloa:itt'S took up this keynote nnd procoeuYil to cull on those leaders fur Rncei'hes. Senator Knr.ilvor fiiiil Ihere wept very mnny thinsrs for Ohio repnbiipuiis to talk nbout just now nnd to think ubout nnd to net on wisely, nntl he commend ed the speech of Kerr iih The true key note for them, lie joined in the plea for pence. The great duty of Ohio republicans wns to iret together, uni ted they were invincible and divided they were beaten In advance. They needed not onlv a urood platform, but also a standard bearer who wntt ,the very strongest man, no matter whut wnH his name or his past :ittiliutiou in the party. There hns not been in the present generation such an important election in Ohio, none ever more easy for republicans to carry, nnd yet never one they could more easily lose. Onlo is the home of MeKinley and should head the column for next year.' Senutor Hanna made a vip-oroiin ap peal for harmony. lie referred to the speeches of Hulintr, Kerr and For aker that had ben made for harmony and urged that it would be necessary for all to work together If the republi cans won in Ohio this year. He Mild no man wns as great as bin party, al though the democratic papers were now trying to make out a case of some republicans being greater than their party. He said: "The democratic papers cannot run this convention. We know our own business better than they. We have ben in polities as long as they. Our experience is bet ter. our motives puier, our aims high cr." (lov. Knshnell created quite an n mus ing stir in following Senator llunn.i, nnd sa vi n ff : Th ere n ppenrs to be ev ry evidence of harmony here. That's what we need; that's what we all want." He continued on the keynote for peace and harmony, as did aUo ex-(Jov. Charles Foster, who followed him In o speech urging the factions to get together. 9 Under the call of the 21 congression nl districts the resolutions, credentials and state central committees wart sol n on need ad the convention adjourned until 10 a. ra. to-clny. .

The other two delega tions got only four votes out of si on the committee, one of the defeated delegations being headed by ex-Mayor MeKisson. Jhe to delegates from Hamilton county were seated, as were the Xash delegates from Franklin. Columbus, ()., June 3. Owing to the conferences of leaders during Thurs day night it was lute before the re publican state convention resumed work yesterday. The reports of the committees on rules nnd order of business nnd on permanent organization were adopted Chairman Kerr called for the report on credentials. The report of this committee seating the Cox delegates from Hamilton count v, the llotcomb delegates from Cuyahoga, the Nash delegates from Franklin and others as previously reported was adopted with out opposition. The committee on resolutions re ported the platform, which is as fol lows: ' The republican party of Ohio resfflrm th principle declared by the Bt. Lout platrorm. We earnestly indorse the great administra tion of William McKlnley. It 1 distinguished to A remarkable degree n the history of na tlonnl admlnistratona. Under the last demo cratic administration, and a a result f demo cratic principles and policy, our industries were destroyed, capital and labor wre unem ployed, the poor suffered a never before In our history, agricultural product could not he sold because consumer could not earn money witn which to buy, and every branch of trad Mt the bit gh ting Influence of the democratic tariff reform hard tlm; the treasury of the t'ntti-d Htatta wns depleted and the gold reserve disap peared. The government borrowed nmney tD pay current expense, increasing the public debt tn time of peact by hundred of millions of dollar. The democratic party proposed to th people a a remedy for all these democratic Hi a de preciated ami dishonest currency, which In tensified every evil. JUDQB JOHN M. SHEETS, During all that period of depression and dis tress, the republican party stood fast for the principles and imllctes under which American Industrie had been built up and had flourished beyond example the principle and pedicle un der which the people had prospered and the na tion had grown great for a generation; stood fast for a sound and honet currency, and In elected to the presidency William McKlnley, the best exponent of republlcanlxed .and true American hleas and policies, the friend of every Amerlcanlndustry and the wise and patriotic lV fender and advocate of honest money. Under hi splendid republican administration public credit has been restored, the prosperity of the people ha developed, our commerce has grown great, our trade, domestic and foreign, ha increased to a degree never before known, and the people are looking with confidence for greater things to come. The magnificent achievement of our army and navy tn the war with Spain for the libera tion of the down-trodden and oppressed people of Cula from the domination of CU)ian des potism, accomplished under the maMet- guid ance of a republican administration, are neoes aarlly iibject for highest encomium by a con vention of Ohio republicans. fo the name master guidance. Controlled by the great principles that hav shaped the hUh destiny of the republican party from fdncmn to MoKlnley, the people ran safely commit the solution of the momentou problem of the fu ture of Cuba, Porto Kico and the Philippine. Their -wise solution will'vavtly encourage for eign trade, spread American civilisation, honor and power and the glory of this great nation. We commend the president for the Judicious modification of the civil service rule recently promulgated. Kor the national defense, for the reinforce ment of the navy, for the enlargement of our foreign market, for the employment of Ameri can worklnemen tn the mine, forests, farms, mills, faetorte and shipyards, we demand the Immediate enactment of legislation similar to that fovtrahly reported to each brtnch of the rVth congres at Its Inst session, no that American-built, American-owned and American manned hlpe may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. We are proud of the brilliant and completi on aervlce rendered tn the people of the state and the country by the senator from oh la, Hen. Joseph H Foruker and Hon. Marcus A. Hanna, and of the matchleFs reord of the del rgatton of republican congreainien now repre senting the Buckeye State. The present administration of state afTtra under Oov. Aaa S. UushacU baa beta able, wise and economical. Tt Is part, free frwi scandal and eminently satisfactory to the people of the state without regard to party. No state ad ministration has enjoyed to a greater degree the confidence of all the people. We oomn,rfnd the action of the Seventy-third general assembly of Ohio In passing the strin gent law now on our statute books prohibiting the organization of ."truats." and we denounce such unlawful combination aa inimical to the Interests of the people. We congratulate the people of the state upon the fact that a republican legislature enacted this law, and we demand its rigid enforcement. We pledge our party to sucn further legisla tion as experience may determine necessary to prevent the formation and operation of such In iquitous and dangerous combination. We demand such readulatment of our tag laws as will Impose the burden of taxation more equally and uniformly upon the various kind of property. The growing evil of lyncntng, attenuj at time by unshakable horrors, is a blot upon our clvilitatl'n, and a menace to our republi can foim of government. The Ohio centennial and Northwest Territory exposition, which Is to be held at the city of Toledo in the year iwz, I an event in wnicn alt the f'aies comprising the Northwest Terri tory should feel a dUD Interest. This Is espe cially true of the state of Ohio, which was the first state to be carved from that great domain. This exposition will be held upon the lonth an nlv?rsary of the admission of the state of Ohio Into the Union, and will be the flrat opportuni ty which the rtate has had to adequately ex hibit, display and show to the world the great nroore which It ha made tn th flrt century of It existence, In all of lta diversified Indus trie and Interest. In order that the exnoMtmn may he a credit to this state, it will be necessary for the legis lature to promptly make a liberal appronrlatlon to that end, and wo recommend that the legis lature, at it next ealon, make an appropria tion for thl purpove, commensurate with the rreat Interest Involved. We recommend that tne repumicon iaie cen tral committee adopt a rule aa nearly uniform is nractlcahlc for the selection of delegate to the, state convention of the republican party.
