Hon. EDWARD +. MOVES, governor OF
Ohio, addressed i'the people OF Martins
Ferry, Friday. night, 9th inst, in Com
mcrcIal Hall Being introduced to the
audience by the chairman Of the meeting,
Dr. $. 3. WEST, Gov MOVES said:
Weare now fairly engaged in the pc
ltical discussions Of the campaign Of
1873, differing very considerably from tho
campaign OF last year; for then we had
both Presidential candidates taken from
the same party and subscribing to dGcla.
rations OF principles substantially ideuti.
cll. This year the Democrats have TWO
GubernstOrial candidates oil their own,
md two platforms on which TO place
them. As you are aware, at the close OF
the Presidential campaign OF last year
there was no very great enthusiasm on
the part Of tho Democracy or of those
who were allied with them for the pur-
poses of the Presidential campaign, Not
only had they suffered defeat, but 1t had
been disastrous and overwhelming. hiler
that campaign hud closed, yon will re-
member that the leaders OF the Demo.
cratic party, and OF tho Liberal Republic
cans, met together In Convention OF Col.
unbus 10 confer US TO what should be
done in future. Upon that occasion the
Liberal Republican leaders thought them
selves badly treated by Senator Thur:
man and perhaps Olhers who sympathized
with him Mr.. Thurman upon that 0c.
casion did not undertake. 10 disguise his
feeling, and expressed his disappointment
that tho Liberal Republicans had
proven so weak In the campaign
then closing, The Liberal Republican
leaders left that conference with
bitter feelings In their hearts; and this
year when tho opportunity Tor another al:
lance was presented, We lind the Liberal
Republicans suspicious Of oil propositions
and very reluctant TO enter again into an
association with a party whose name had
so long been associated Id their minds
with disloyalty and corruption. And SO
they refused 10 meet tho Democrats In
State Convention and issued call Of their
own. which was denounced as presump-
,uous and insulting by tho Democratic
party. It Is perhaps not unfair for us to
presume. from our knowledge f Senator
Thurman that he had q purpose In view
when he broke up the alliance with the
Liberal Republicans OF last year. NIT.
Thurman, as It Is well known, is ambitious
10 carry the Ohio Legislature this iAll,
first. that he may be reelected United
States Senator; and, secondly that he
may BIO in the line oil promotion TO the
Presidency. And perhaps there Is no
man In the countrybclonging to The Dem
ocratic organization more likely TO be Sc
lected as their standard bearer than MIR.
Thurmau-an able, c!ear-hcadCd, astute
man; the leader, unquestionably, OF the
Democratic side In the Senate of the
United States. Butin order to secure the
rosI OF his ambition, Mr.. Thurman has
lrlt II necessary to hold the Democracy
0f OhIUas distinct organization; and be
did not care to DO embarrassed by ascot
alton with discordant and independent
clements, He Is one Of those men who
always believed the Democratic party Is
stroprcr while acting independently and
by themselves than when forming an AZ
lance with parties who did not July sym
palhIzs with them. This year, acting
under lis dictation, the Democratic party
said 10 tho Liberal Republicans and 10 Inc
Democrats who were disposed 10 leave
them, Two hundred aad City Thousand
Democrats are not ready TO sell out to ~
insirniicant sQuad Of disappointed Of
ice seekers; and the Liberal Republicans
REALIZED Your organization Is stcnct

Zach must pursue Ito own way as best u
can. Each must seek Its own Gltsanes rs
