We must win ifc triumphantly, decisively, overwhelmingly, and to that end must select for our staad- ard-bsarer that man who, of all others, can most sorsly command our undivided strength. We must hav» as our leader a fit representative of oar views with rsfpect to every living issue, who, la his record and his personality, is the beat type we havj of the illustrious achieve­ ments and the moral grandeur of BepubMcon- lsm. Bte mast be more, even, than that; he most have a snre place in the confidence and In tha affections of the Republicans of Ohio. Such a leader we have. It is not my privilege to point him out. It is no man's privilege to point him .out; that has,been already done. By common consent til eysa have turned in one direction. One man there is who, measured by the exigen­ cies of this oocasion, stands a full bead and shoulders above all his comrades, and that man is William VcKinley, "This convention to-day means that ttvs 500,- 000 Bepublioan voters of Ohio have got together and are proud of their past and of the princi- Eles of the party; proud of its representation i official piaoe, in both State and nation. We are proud of that conservative, patriotic man, Gen. Harrison, wliO> eits iu tho White House. We are proud, too, of that brilliant, magnetic statesman, who has taught law to Europs with respect to America--James G. Blaine. We are prood, also, of the representation of Ohio in the Cabinet of the President of i he United States in the Mr sou of our Charles Foster. Wo are Srona of our great Senator who has served bis tate with suoh distinction that he enjoys the distinction of standing at the head of the grand men in the greatest legislative body on earth. "Ohio is on the Lookout mountain of the political battles upon which wo are entering, and William McKinley, Jr., is the Joe Hooker Of tho Bepnblican party, and we are the boys who intend to follow him up its steep and tugged mountain sides and help him plant the flag of Republicanism in triumph there. And next year, inspired by this glorious achieve­ ment, all the columns from Maine to Oregon Will be turned against the common enemy; and Its to them it will be as to Eragg in 1888. Their lines will be broken, and before the resistless onslaught they will be swept back into the depths of defeat anu depair. '1 move you, Mr. Chairman, that the rules of til is convention be suspended, and tbat by ac­ clamation we nominate to be our candidate for Governor that brilliant statesman, and soldier, and orator--William McKinley." Col. Hobert Hart, the colored orator, of Cin­ cinnati, seconded Major McKinley's nomination •on behalf of the colored voters of Ohio." With one wild, hilarious cheer of affirmation, the convention declared Ma or McKinley nom­ inated for Governor by acclamation, and a com­ mittee was appointed to apprise him of his nomination and escort him to the hall. His appearance was the signal for another outburst of enthusiasm. "I now have the pleasure." said the chairman, "of introducing to you the distin- iruished spldtaL and statesman, your nominee : or OovernoHand your next Governor--William McKinley, Jr.* Ag in the enthusiasm of the admirers of the distinguished Ohioan hurst fori fa, and one thousand frantic, cheering, Struggling Republicans waved their hats and fanK, pounded with their canes, and re-echoed Iho name of "McKinley," "McKinley." Tho hero of the day received his honors mod» #etiy. Simply boWing his acknowledgments, Msior McKinley spoke as follows : "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven­ tion, I accept the nomination you have ten­ dered me, sensible both of the honor and the re­ sponsibility ifc implies. The election this year is of unusual importance, not only because it determines the polit:'o il character of the admin­ istration of the State for the coming two years, but because it involves the choice of a legislat­ ure whceo duty it will l>e to elect a United states Senator who will continue for six years from March 4, lsy.*, and whose further duty it will be to district the State for representatives in Con­ gress under the new census, and wipe from the Statute-books the crime against Republican suf­ frage perpetrated by the present Democratic Leg­ islature. Happily, we pre&ent a party in Ohio without a division in its ranks, without a break In its lines. "The platform which yon have adopted meets my approval. It announces with clearness and courage the great cardinal doctrines of the Re­ publican party, while it proclaims the well- considered convictions of Ohio ^Republicans tqpcblng the newer questions which now con­ front us. The Bepublioan party of Ohio ap­ proves the administration of President Harri­ son. and extends to it hearty congratulations. It has been clean, conservative, able and pa­ triotic. It has been wise iu its domestic policy and thoroughly American in its foreign. It has won the confidence of the people at home; it commands universal respect abroad. The party is in favor of a regulated immigration and of liberal pensions to our soldiers and sailors. It Is committed to a sound currency. It is in favor of gold and silver, and also paper money based upon coin, all equal and at all times in­ terchangeable--equal in fact and equal in law. "Wo are confronted by a real danger which prudent men of all parties should seek to avert before it is too late. The public eretlit and Bound finance must be preserved, and every scheme to destroy it must be met with courage and In­ telligence, and repelled by tho mighty force of nhlic opinion. Better risk defeat, which can e only temporary, than capitulate with the demagogue or surrender to dishonesty. The platform indorses a protective tariff. We have protected American products and American labor. So long as foreign products can be tfound to tax which compete with our own In cur market we propose to tax them rather than tax our own. The Democratic party prefers to tax the domestic product rather than the imported. Their tariff legislation would benefit every country but our own. We follow in our tariff policy the teachings of Washington, and Ham­ ilton', aud Clay, and Webster, and Lincoln, and Ciwfleld. The Democrats pursue the fallacies of Cobden, and Bright, and Calhoun, and the statesmen of she late Southern Confederacy. They are pledged now to Impede, ii they can, the prosperity of the country until after the next Presidential election. That is their mis­ sion this*Vear. Business disaster and reverses are the lad­ der of their hopes. Prosperity and content­ ment among tne people bring them sure political defeat. Idle furnaces, dismantled factories, silout mines, unemployed workmen and general distress are the snre harbingers of Democratic victorv. They are discouraging in­ dustrial activity" through their press and orator •« very where and every day, and it breaks their hearts to ®ea a manifestation of industrial advancement in the United States. They sneer at every attempt to establish new facto­ ries, an4 would gladly frown them down. It is the same sneer and frown which have been exhibited toward our industrial enterprises since But in spite of them we now lead the world in manufactures, agricul­ ture and mining, and we will prosper under the new law in spite of their false omens and dis­ couraging prophecies. They insist that we can­ not tnaka tin-plato; @o they snid about steel rails, so they said about plate-gins^, had cut­ lery and pottery; and when you take them to a factory and show them that we are making tin-plate they assert with intense pleasure that we 'are only making a little.' This is true, but how much should we be making ? That we are making any is tho surprise, for the protective duty on tin has not yet gone into effect and will not until the 1st of July. "liefleet for a moment; there is not a section of the country. North or South, which is not seeking by every manner of inducement to get manufactories established in their midst. They are giving donations, they are offering boun­ ties; in some communities they are taxing themselves and burdening their property for the sake of securing iiidai-.tries which will em­ ploy labor and enlarge their neighborhood markets. In tho South, tho great center of free trade, they. artt offering freedom from taxation for ton -au<i twenty years to those ; who will bring their capital and invest in productive enterprises; and this by authority of State law. And •Rl.ile all this is goiug on the leaders of the Democratic party are proposing to tear down the protective tariff and inundate this country with foreign competing products to displace those which these very fnanu factories propose to w»ke and which the people aure taxing themselves to establish The people will earns to see and understand this if toey do thSdjug of item ars to^§s*53sr pro- tepttfB'of the American terawr) M iit town! wtMuiA spirits, whiehwUl jM^y fcSXttlke f«ttm; 8 are upon tobasoo, as agricwu*al prodact.

McKinley lew and the National Admln- tration Indorsed --The Legislature Ds*> noanced. Following is the platform adopted: The Bepubiicans of Ohio in convention as­ sembled reaffirm and press their adhSeion to principles whioh have guided them heretofore in promoting the prosperity and happiness of the American people. And we reaffirm our de­ votion to the patriotic doctrine of protection and recognise tne McKinley bill as the ables ex­ pression of that principle, enacted in fulfillment of Bepublioan promises, and we pledge our­ selves to its support, always having in view its improvement changed conditions or experi­ ence may require. We favor such legislation by Congress and in this State m will in etery practicable mode en­ courage, protect and promote the interests of agriculture in all its departments. Protection of labor and the rights of laborers, such as will grant to toil its full and just rewards, is among the first obligations of government. We demand protection for the wool industry equal to that accorded to the most favored man­ ufacturer of wool, so that In due time American wool-growers will supply all wool of every kind * . .. _ itedStates. and silver ciroolatihg medium. we indorse the amended coinage act of the last Bopabllcan Congress by which the entire pro­ duction Of the silver mines of the United States is added to the currency of the people. We demand and will continue to demand, un­ til finally and absolutely secured, Che free exer­ cise by every citizen of the supreme and sover­ eign right to cast one ballot at lawful elections and have it honestly counted. While inviting to onr shores the worthy poor and oppressed of other nations, we demand the enactment of laws that will protect our country and our people against tne influx of the vicious and criminal classes of foreign na­ tions and the importation of laborers under contract to compete with our own citizens, and earnestly approve the rigid enforcement of ex­ isting laws by the present national adminis* tration. We favor economy in the administration of national and State affairs; prompt and effective restraint of combinations of capitalists for per- poaea unlawful or at variance with .sound pub- lio polity; ample educational facilities for the whole people; the reservation of the publle lands of the United States for homesteads for American citizens, and the restoration to tha public domain of all unearned railroad grants: and we contemplate with pride the progress ox Bepnblican legislation and administration in all these directions. Tho Bepublioan party, ever mindful of the services of the heroic men who saved the Union, favors literal pensions to the sailors and sol­ diers of the Republic and a generous care of their widows and orphans. The patriotism, wisdom and abi!ity of the administration of President Harrison command our cordial approbation and support, and we especially commend the policy of reciprocity by which our trade may tie vastly increased by commercial treaties with other nations, and we also commend the vigorous foreign poliov of the administration, whioh has commanded the respect of foreign nations for the liag of our country. We donounee the late so-called "ripper" Legislature of Ohio as the most oorrupt and incompetent, and the administration of James E. Campbell as the moat partisan in the his­ tory of our State. We denounce the present Governor of Ohio for having converted tho be- nevolent institutions into political machinery, making political merchandise of the sufferings and calamities of the helpless wards of the State, and we point with pride to the more patrlotlo and wise management of Stats affairs under the administration of Gov. J. B. Foraker. W© de­ nounce Governor f'-ampbell and the Sixty-ninth General Assembly for viola trig their party's pledgee and the rights of }oeal self-government by legislative reorganization of numerous towns and cities for solely partisan purposes. We de­ nounce the late "ripper" Legislature for having sanctioned and encouraged the increase of local taxation, and for increasing the expenditures of the State more than a half million of dollars in excess of the appropriation of any preceding two years, thus bringing the State to the verge of bankruptcy in spite of the generous appro­ priation made by a Republican Congress in the act refunding the direct tax. We denounce the late "ripper" Senate of Ohio lor unseating the legally elected Lieutenant Governor, thus rob­ bing tne people of their light under tne Consti­ tution to select an important public officer, and we appeal to all intelligent and patriotic people of Ohio to unite with us in the recovery of file State from the hands of the party that for two years past has disgraced it. Poslnor as a Mo lei Spoiled Him. Officer Thomas Birmingham WM the model for the Haymarket statue, and he has not been a model policeman since. Up to two or three years ago Birmingham was one of the best policemen on the force. He never drank and he attended to his duties with remarkable fidelity. He was sta­ tioned at the corner of Clark and Madison streets. Nearly everybody in Chicago has seen him standing under the big clock--a perfect figure of the police officer, six feet high, broad- shouldered and as firmly built as an oak. He was considered the best-look­ ing policeman on the force, and it was for this reason that he was selected to be the model for Sculptor Gelert's monument. There was some opposi­ tion to Birmingham standing as a model. For some reason the commit* tee whioh had the making of the statue in charge didn't -want an Irishman, al­ though six of the eight men killed at the Haymarket fight were Irishmen. When Birmingham, who is of Irish descent, heard of this he declined to serve, but the sculptor, who had no­ ticed his striking build and carriage, insisted to such good purpose that for a month Birmingham went daily to the Michigan avenue studio and posed. The distinction seemed to turn his head. He ceased to pay attention to his work, and his superior officers say he took to drink. They liked him so much that they didn't want to take his star away, but fhey threatened and fined him, and finally transferred him from the corner of Clark and Madison streets. In his new stand he contin­ ued to behave badly. Reports were received that he was over near the monument drinking night after night. He would drag people up to the cor­ ner of Desplainea and Randolph streets, and, {>ointing to the statue, exclaim: "There I am; look at me." Then he would stand beside the monu­ ment in the familiar attitude of the figure with one foot extended and his right hand raised and exclaim: "In the name of the people of the State of Illinois I command peace." When he was supposed to be on duty he would be absent from his post, and finally his conduct became so troublesome that he was transferred out of the Central detail altogether to the Des- plaiues Street Station. The change weighed heavily upon him, and he never reported for duty to Captain Hayes. He was included in the order dismissing a number of policemen. "He waS a first-class officer until he became a model," said Lieutenant Ross. "But the department could do nothing with him after that,*---Chicago Herald, --, ONE of the daily papers of Rome publishes in every issue the following editorial notice: "For a report of a fight or a fire in which one or more human lives were lost we pay 1 lire and 50 cents; for a report of a suicide, 1 lire; for a report of an attempt at suicide, 50 cento; for a report of an accident at which a persAn suffered bodily harm, 30 cents; for reports of a murder, highway robbery, burglary and other happenings of this kind, we pay according to the importance of the event, but in no case less than & lires." A Veritable Reljrn of Terror Said to Ixtat In Chill--Horrible Punishment Inflicted --So-Called "Volunteer.-." la HudaUb- Robel FsfM-IVtkk Point of the Kovola- tionlste. Many startling facts In connection with the revolution now raging in Chill, which throw light upon the ferocity S#KRl despotism of Balmaceda, are given to the public by three gentlemen, two of whom are Chilians, who arrived last week. The stories show that Balmaceda is well termed "the tyrant" In Santi­ ago, where his headquarters are, no .one dares to utter a word against him. He has caused a cross of red to be painted on the houses of all people whom he sus­ pects of being not in sympathy with him, and into these markOd residences his po­ lice and soldiers go at any hour of the day or night They ransack the rooms on the ground that they are looking for revolutionists who are supposed to be hidden there. The soldiers demand wine and food, and after having as good a time as they wish depart only to repeat the offense at some other marked resi­ dence. If a laborer is caught on the street go'rjg to or from work without a tag showing for whom he Is working he is gobbled up by the soldiers of Balmat-eda and impressed into his service. This system exists in. Valparaiso also. One of the gentlemen re erred to was walk­ ing along the street past a jail yard He hetfrd some terrible shrieks from some one on the other side of the wall, inquired of a soldier the cause and w€s told that some of Balmaceda's soldiers were punishing a man who had refused to work for him by driving tacks and pins into his hands and finger* The next day he saw a horrible pun­ ishment meted out to a Chilian who had been overheard to say that he w&? willing to work his hands off for tho revolutionists The poor fellow's hands were placed on a b'ock and his fingers pounded to a jelly by a big mallet in the hands of a soldier. He was then told that he could go and work his hands any way he wanted to for any one. The New-Yorker denounced the affair to a friend--a resident of Santiago who was with him. • The next day his friend was missing, nor did he show up again. The New York man returned to Val­ paraiso, and just before he sailed he re­ ceived a message from his friend saying that he had been locked up by Balma­ ceda's men, accused of being a revolu­ tionist sympathizer. C The weak point of the revolutionists is the lack of arms and ammunition. The forces of the revolutionists number at present 3,000 men, fully armed and equipped. Could the necessary arms be securcd the number would at once be in­ creased to 10,000 men. There are now at Huasco, Valbnar, Frairina and Carrlx&l bodies of men--in a l some 9,000--who are only waiting to get arms and am­ munition before they take up the march against Balmaceda. At the smaller places on the coast as far north as Arica are similar bodies of would-be soldiers. The arms for these men were on the ltata, and had theg secured them, with what ammunition the ltata carried, the Chilian revolution would have been set­ tled in short order. Balmaceda's army consists of 25,000 men, well equipped. Of these only 3,000 are of the old regular standing army; tha rest are recruits forced into the service. "Balmaceda," said one the gentlemen from whom these details are obtained, "calls these men volunteers To give you an idea of how voluntary the services of these men are I have seen batches of them numbering from twenty-five to fifty each brought into Valparaiso tied to each other and surrounded by soldiers with fixed bayonets. This I have seen more than twenty times. 1 also saw a letter from the intendente of one of the southern provinces written to Balmace­ da, in which the intendente said: 'I re­ gret being unable to send you a larger number of volunteers, owing to the scarcity of handcuffs'; so you can see what sort of fighting material Balmace­ da has to count on. He pays the officers of his army extra wages to keep them in good humor and to have them rule the troops with an iron hand. "Before we left Valparaisoi 1 was al­ most convinced that Balmaceda would win the fight, so great did his power seem, but the further north we got the more I was impressed with the numbers and determination of the revolutionists." The generals of Balmaceda's army, as Well as the principal officers, are said to be superior in military training to thoso of the revolutionary forces. mil Products laoress* M Pmr Ce«C te : Quantity, M Fwr Cent, ts Vslae-Oaiy ;|:.f IMO|II| Held fey Private Parties far flw Ie»ri' Supply.

Fuller details from Coal City, the con­ vict camp where the uprising occurred the other morning, record one of the most daring breaks for liberty ever at­ tempted in Georgia. At 6 o'clock Captain J. Moreland, As­ sistant Warden at Slope Camp, went into the stockade' where 200 convicts were confined. He was accompanied ty Jesse Rankin, a night guard. After the convicts had been counted and the ma­ jority sent off to the coal mines, seven asked to remain behind in order to be furnished with overalls, claiming that they had been in a wet place in the mine. The seven were: J. M. Lans- downe, S. H. Lansdowne, father and son; Samuel Green, Wilson Palmer, John Rutherford, "Abe" Wayman and George Ward. As the assistant warden started for the gate Wilson 1'almcr, a burly white ccnvict serving a term for safe blowing, drew a revolver and ordered the officer's hands up. After relieving the officer of his pistol Palmer fired his revolver with­ in a foot of the officer's face, inflicting a fatal wound. Rankin In the meantime had been overpowered, but, struggling to his feet, managed to escape by knocking down a convict. The seven desperate men made a rush for Capt. Morelaud's of­ fice, where they knew a' ms were kept. They secured a doutal -barreled shot-gun and barricaded the door. By this time the guards were aroused and a general fusillade ensued, resulting in the death of Patrick Rawlin and "Jack" Rankin, two guards, and of Samuel Green, Wil­ son Palmer and George Ward. While the firing was in progress "Abe" Way- man and John Rutherford made a break from the office and succeeded in escap­ ing. How the convicts sccured the pis­ tol is not known. r 1.. .vi At,., ;y.'#;ifc^Vvyr Military MUSICIM* Punished.'- Ten members of the military ban3 of the Sixth United States Infantry regi­ ment, stationed at Fort Thomas, on the highlands south of Newport, Ky., ab­ sented themselves from the );ost without leave, on the 15th of last month, when they were under orders to play at a cer­ tain military performance.

In some localities in Michigan, tbe>snp» of all kinds of timber has become prac­ tically exhausted, and the decreased pro­ duction is noted, while in others, where the pine has been denuded, other varieties of timber are now utilized into a greater variety of products. The fact Is cited in explanation of the increase shown In re- manufactures. According to the census of 1880, the til principal lumber producing cities In thi* group were, In order, as follows: 1. Bay City, Mich., output. . Muskegon, Mich., output ;i. Minneapolis, Mlim., output.... 4. Saginaw, Mich., output 5. Manistee, Mich., output .

The production of white pine lumber wa» carried to its highest point in 1880 at the mouth of Saginaw Itiver, Michigan, and that point still holds first rank in this re­ spect. The aggregate value of production re­ ported for Bay City, West Bay City. Sag­ inaw, Essexviile and Zllwaukee, constitut­ ing the principal productive points on the Saginaw River, was $8,520,943 in 1680 and $9,027,405 in 1890. The aggregate quantity oi material consumed during the census year 1800 was about 650,000,000 feet board meas­ ure, and the quantity ofs tandlng timber now owned by establishments in the places named is reported to be about 2,500,000,000 feet. The city of Mr nominee, at the mouth of the Menominee River, in Michigan, show* . he greatest increase of production during the decade. In 1880 it ranked sixth in the nine principal lumber-producing points In the United States, and is now found to be second. ' , The aggregate quantity of material con­ sumed at those points during the census year 1800 was about 450,000,000 feet, board measure, and the quantity of standing timber now owned by establishments in the places named is reported to be more than 4,000,000,000, indicating a sufficient supply at tho present rate of consumption for another decade. The prfbetpal material used by this in­ dustry consists of standing timber, and but for the fact of the inability of the official* of the Federal Government to furnish data or approximate estimate showing the area of timbered lands In Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota owned by the Government ii would be possible to approximate the gross average of timbered lands owned by both the Government and .private parties. It 'is shdwn from returns of individual manufac­ turers that their preseut nojdlngs of stand­ ing timber in this group of States are only sufficient to supply them for about five years at the present rate of consumption. The quantity in reserve is believed to b» principally comprehended by what is stand­ ing on lands owned by Federal and State> Governments. This quantity, however, is unknown. The Federal Government sup- , plies no information on this subject, bu* the holdings of public lands reported by State Governments indicate that no consid­ erable area of tftnbered lands is ownea by the State of Michigan. The total area of land held by the State Of Wisconsin Sept. SO, 1890. is reported aa '171,633 acres. Moat of this land is 'located a the northern counties and about one- nalf Is said to be timbered. The State of Minnesota reports ownership of 13,000,000 acres of timbered land, containing 20,000, 000.000 feet of standing timber, mostly plnet valued at $60,000,000.
