JUDGE sAFFoRD's SPEECH.
Judge Stafford, Of Ross county. was the nort
speaker. Afler some preliminary remarks he
said: Mr. Allen long sin ce retired from noIiticnl
life; living under bis own vine and fg tree. amid
his books, looking with calm serenity upan ali
around him, and feeling as though he Himself
had nothing further in the political turmoiis of
tor Of events but that clarion voice O. his has FOR
asaIiy .Es55y years been It is only on oo,
country have called him forth that you have ever
heard any exPresssi9n from MS lips, and he
ness that u the people Of Ohio should rize and
nnanltnoossy ash nm % take ma seat As Cover
All the honor that can be conferred upon anV
man In the United States. you know, has been
conferred upon him. The Presidency had ceased
to have any attraction for him Il has been about
year since he said to me- 'Onee when / was
young, ambitious and aspiring, looked TO that
proud position as being Che climax OF my life but
ts-day lsay 70 you in All honor, that II the Amer
lean people should offer me that place / should
reject It, and prefer living in the quiet domestic
happiness OF my own hreside, in the enjoyment
Of nay books, aud in the pursuits Of agricuiture.'
Not ten minutes before he agreed 70 accept. he
made the same remark 70 me, What honors are
there that the people OF Ohio could confer upon
me that would induce me to leave the peaceful
solitude OF my homer There was nothing eE-
cept the tmperious demand Of the people ofohio
that would induce him who had been looked
upon as one Of the Roman Senate of old-purs
aud unsDotted In his political life-to go before
the American people TO guarantee to them a
Government which should not receive the deri-
be pure, and one in which there should BE- no
such thing as the Credit Mobilier; no such thing
as extra pay TO Congressman, and no particular
faYoTs shown 70 this or that organization and af-
ter his return from the telegraph Office he re-
marked; "Sir, have TO change my mind; 1 pre-
fer solitude 10 turmoil and hustle; there was =
time when the activity Of my frame permitted me
TO make eighty speeches IN eighty counties Of
this state IN the campaign Of 1870"

where he was for many yearz on the Common

the ticket in Southern Ohio than any other man
that could have been nominated.
