MR.. GALLOWAYiS SPEECH.
1 am very much pleased, my fellow
citizens, fellow members of this Con-
vention, to meet you on this present
occasion. / have often met the most
of You and lave become familiar with
your faces. But 7 am still more fanail-
lar with the glorious principles which
have given celebrity to the name and
fame of the Union party of Ohio. I
consider that it is one of the prOudest
distinctions of my life that 1 have
been permitted to be Unidentified with
party that has made itself so illus
triOus by its advocacy of freedom and
civilization. The truth is, my fellow
citizens, this country belongs to the
Republican party. Applause. We
have regained 1t from rebellion, and
so that flag is ours; the Congress OF
the United States is ours; Ohio is
ours; the loyal white men are ours;
those who were emaneipated by the
providence of God by the Republican
party-they are ours. Notwithstand-
ing all its errors, this same party Oc-
cupies as proud a position rs it has
ever done. We occupy more prOmi-
nent position to-day than we did ten
years ago, for then we could barely
take the milk, but now we are vigor-
ously sustained by the strong meat OF
the principles of liberty and equality.
Cheers, i- ,..,-
Mr.. Galloway then proceeded to re-
count briefly the reforms which the
Republican party had wrought in the
administration of the State and ma
ton. The national administration,
notwithstanding all its errors and all
commando the confidence of the Re
publican party. President Grant had
not done exactly what the speaker
would have done, nor what many
others would have done; but he had
done what he considered best, and
had acted in accordance with the
pledges made in his inaugural.
And what has Congress done?
One year ago there were four in
surreetiOnary States yet unrestOF-
ed. Now they have been restored
and every star upon our banner now
represents a State in the Union. TO
the Republicans We owe this great
achievement Congress has also re
duced the national debt. During the
1irst l6 months of President Grants
administration, some thirty millions
more have been collected from the. in-
Gernal revenue than during the six
1een mOnthsOf JOhnsOn's administra-
Jion, and nineteen millions more from
the duties arising from the tariff. Be
sides this, one hundred and forty mill
lions of the public deOt have been
paid, and this, too, without increas-
ing the burdens of taxation. Our
Representative in Congress have also
secured TO the South and West seven
ty-nine millions of additional cur
Tency.
They have also passed a funding bill,
by means of which, at least thirty-siX
millions of the debt will be reduced
annually.
More than all that, there has been a
reduction in the article upon which
duties are levied for the revenue tar
i'll. The Union party of Ohio is prac-
tically aunt upon this subject OF a
revenue tariff. [Applause.l We do
not. foster privileged classes. We
struck down the great monopoly of
aristOeracy and OF caste when we
struck down slavery, and We will
strike down every monopoly. lCheersl D
We can not place burdens upon one
class of people that are not shared by
Others. The doctrine of the Republi-
can party is that the burdens OF the
Government ought TO be equally dis
tributed all over the country, and that
the blessings of the Government, like
the rain and sunshine of Heaven,
