Fellow citizens: When L was Governor of New
York, looked carefully into the Of our ma
tional prosperity. A few years ago the government
wiped out all our State banks. When the govern
ment gave us q new currency, it gave Massachu-
sets sol 900 900, and found upon comparison that
New York, Ohio and other States received much
less than their share. 1t gave Rhode Island $40 to
each citizen, and to Ohio SO to each citizen.
Now if great deal of currency Is good for the
people of Massachusetts and of Rhode Island, why
Is it not just good for you in Ohio? Why do not
the men who have been in power for the past few
years do away with these national evils? My
friends, we are engaged in an election which most
deeply concerns the people of this whole nation.
Labor is oppressed with taxation, and business in
all its branches is embarrassed to such degree as
to excite anxiety for the future.
Governor Seymour continued at great length
asking the people to consider calmly their duty
and TO act accordingly,
