party. Mr.. Callen was

Mr.. Callen, speaking in a ringing
tone that had little OF defiance in
it toward those who had hissed, re-
turned his thanks in the name of the
young Democracy Of Ohio. The

grandest struggle in which political
parties had ever been engaged-met

MIR. CAMPBELL's REMARKS.
Mr.. Campell, after expressing his
high appreciation of the honor &c
and an indefinite reference to the
past, proceeded to speak of the i'm
portance of the coming election
The member of Congress elected
this fall would hold office until after
the Presidential election, and Con-
g-ess might possibly elect the next
President.
He would not presume to dictate
as to platform, but would say that
in general terms it should oppose
all that the Republican party had
done for the last five years, all that
they were doing now, all that they
so;N do in the little brief future that
is allowed them.
Efter this concise statement, Mr.
Campbell executed one of his nota-
bic retrospective performances with
dry solemnity. Referred to the old
story about agreeing to pay soldiers
In gold, and paying them instead in
manufactured rags called green
backs.
He thought as he had mad con
siderable experience in legislative
matters he would have no difficulty
In managing the present Conven ton
rs its presiding officer.
