Gov. Allen, in chat remarkable burst OF con-
fdence which we published the other day, eX-
planned to our correspondent how it happened
that he was not fatigped by his labor5 in this
campaiyn. He il capable of making a dozen
speeches a week without thc least exhaustion.
Such a phenomenon in u man so advanced i'll
years naturally requires some explanation, and
Tie Governor makes l. in most satisfactory
manner. He SAYS there are two kinds OF
stumpers. There are those who take time and
prepare speech; for this class the Governor
ha, a profound contempt. Then there IS the
class To which he claims to belong, who never
prepare themselves, but who are able to talk
at any length, at any time, on any subject.
We think no more accurate or scientific clasSi-
fication of this interesting genus has ever
been made There is now no farther
trouble in comprchcnding the astonishing
volubiiity of statesmen like Mr.. Allen. His
throat and lungs are strong and durable. EXcr-
else in the open airs wholesome ana inyig0rating,
and his campaigning amounts to nothing more.
There is no more draft upon his brain than If
he were using dumb-beilS. He asks nothing
Of bis memory or his reasoning powers. He
has simply nothing to do but 10 talk nonsense
il. loud voice. Those who support him are
like unto him. With very few exceptions the
Democratic orators in Ohio This year have not
even pretended to deal iii facts or i'll argu-
mcnt. They have found it much easier TO cry
aloud that the times are hard, that they will
never be better till there is more money, that
the duty of Government is to supply money in
quantities TO sUit the people aud that the
bondhoders form a wicked and deprayCd
despolism which honest labor Ought to take
by the throat till it is willing to divide.
There is positively nothing else in Cary's
speeches, in Ewing's, or in those Of any of the
other most popular speakers OF the campaign.
As for Thurman. and Hendricks, and MELON
aid, they are as dali and supcrliuous i'll their
efforts to explain away that ridiculous plat
form Of which the bcdamtcs are so proud, az
are Morton and the other old-fashi1ned Grant
men who are trying to carry the election OH
the issues of the rebellion. II the Democrats
win this campaign it will be the most remark
able instance in or history OF the mOmeutaTy
power of fluent lunacy upon masses of discon-
tented voters
On the other hand we can congratulate the
State and the country at large upon the work
which the Republicans have been forced to do
10 meet this torrent OF gbbcri>h We do not
know that the party deserves much credit for
il. II was a weak and tender-footcd Conycn-
ton which framed the eyasve hardmOGcy
platform of the Ohio Republicans. Ii the
Democrats of the Western Reserve had stood
by their col0rs and compelled the adoption of
the Cuyahoga resolutions. We should now have
seen the State Of Ohio infested by Republican
inflationists like Kelley, screaming against the
bondhOders and the money power and defend
ing the imperied rights Of trdmps and Specu-
lators. But the Columbus folly saved
the Republicans and now the result is
seen in the most vigorous and sincere
discussion of important principles which has
taken place in that Stlte since the
war. The speeches of Mr.. GrosycnOr of Mr..
Woodford, of Mr.. Garfield, and Mr.. SchuIz, as
well az those of dozens of resilient speakers,
are in the highest degree creditable to the
intelligence of the audiences to which they are
addressed We must admit that they belong to
the class 50 heartily dcspised by Mr. Allen. They
are very evidently prepared beforehand. They
are full of the results of studOus and careful
research they do not exhibit that lofty con-
tempt for the teachings of history and science
