Governor Of Ohio, delivered his first campaign speech at
AshtabulA yesterday and We print II IN Iu elsewhere

covered There Is nothing striking or forciho in it, it
begins with the first gun Mt Sumter and ends WITH the
spirit of liberty in ntrenchmonts The cost OF me war
is dwelt upOn the OF reconstrctve legislation
criticised the commercial policy Of the Republican party
is assaed and there Is good deal about Grant ana
6auo Domingo. There IS nothing bold, original stIlh-
ing or suggestive The New Departure Ia ignored. We
treated to the weil,worn comm9nplaGts OF the
Democratic newspapers. Only this and nothing more

declarations looking to higher aims by hs party or even
10 compact aud aggressive discussion OF the plain issc-
