Toledo Special Aug. 26) to Cincinnati Enquirer
AT O'Clock the Opera house packed from Gel
lar to dome with what proved to be turbulent crowd
which refused TO give Mr.. Sherman respectful hear
ing, and, at times, shut him up entirely by h1sses,
jeers and impernent remarks. On the stage at the
opening were large number of distinguished per-
sons including Ex-Governor Cox, General Wager
Swayne, General Robinson, of the Republican State
committee; Charley Grosvenor Congressman Wiletts,
of Michigan, and large number of local politicians
and prominent persons. The audience was far from
being Republican audience, as the result showed.
However, a few ladies were present.
There was few minutes delay when the audience
hrst manifested its makeup by calls for speeches by
persons known to be opposed to Sherman's policy.
Mr.. Sherman shown to a seat upon the stage by
General Robinson, and a sensation occurred, a few
persons capped their hands, when perfect storm Of
misses arose. Col. Kent Hamilton, of the Lucas
county committee, very popular young Republican,
presented Mr.. Sherman, who came forward, and the
same greeting repeated.
The moment was painful to all lovers of order and
free speech, and terrible suspense attended the
secretary's brave attempt to face it down. He began
the set words Of his speech not able to be heard then
pressed ahead more and more, until after some
voices cried out !Louder loudern he got the atten-
ton reasonably, and swan along quite well until he
approached the currenry question proper saying he
should speak his own sentiments, and II wrong the
people of Ohio would correct it in the Congressional
election. This greeted with shout Of "Thats
so' and great laughter
great calls for the trade dollar and he turned to that
subject with an attempt at an answer to an inquiry
on that subject cut from the Enqu1er of to-day In
his answers to those points he much inter-
rupted he could scarcely proceed and did not regain
the text on that part of his speech When he first
ferred to the greenback dollar perfect storm of in
hisses questions, and meaningless calls great he
was obliged to halt and appeal for a hearing Then,
resr1ming his speech at point referring to Lucas
county as Republican county, great shouts of deri-
sion arose.
From this through nearly the whole of the part
devoted TO the resumption act he proceeded with
failures then and since. "What caused the panic 2?
was the cry; "advising solid North for solid
"bloody Shirt" and bedlam of Kisses and jeers.
He left his text entirely and tried to meet the crowd
''We shall resume, as sure as fate" he said Kisses
and jeers. "Our people has been extravagant."
''Hayen't anything to be extravagant with,' said
voice. "The bondholders get gold" said the secre-
tary and a voice interrupted: eyes, you're the
rooster that gave it to em. II want dollar worth
dollar in gold," said he. eve would rather have
one worth ten cents than at all, was the
sponse. He referred to possible scarcity of money,
and torrent of interruptions followed, such as
these: "The poor man hant got no money!"
you've burnt it all up "Ham and eggs for one"
Kisses and laughter.
When he proceeded to Thurman he was
drowned out completely by cries for other speakers
At something he said the answer was: "That amt

ps h that
-"Hows real estate going?" The Secretary-"It
will will, go up when we get on solid basis Voice
''Its gone up now." Great laughter. At one time,
warming up the secretary said: "I'n bet my soul
that in Six months after resumption begins all now
crafty opposed to me will be with u.s." Cheers and
Kisses
elaborate preparation for discussing the electoral
fraud. When he reached the Louisiana matter great
subject by ''s to p 'Fraud! fraud! y "You stole

his peroration: "AIy countrymen, said he, "the Re-
publican party is National party [Cries of ''No,

The only interruption, for the evident purpose OF
discussion, was by T. Scott late National candidate
