1--we denounoe the Republican lsw'
: passed during and since the late war
BY which labor has besn pauperized
aud all industrial and mechanical in.
terests have been paralyzed. and the
great bulk Of the business interests O
the country have been brought te
bankruptcy and ruin, throwing out ol
employment millions of people who
earn their daily bread by their daily
toll. And for what: In order that do
mestic and foreign capitalists and
bonded wealth might be appreciated.
But we can congratulate the country
that we may, perhaps, see CLEAN OF
hope, and that the great pail which
has been hanging over the country is
in some degree lifted, owing to the
two laws passed by the Forty fifth
COngress-the reconciliation of silver,
giving back to it the debt-paying quail
ity, and stopping the contraction Of
greenbacks. We further demand that
silver shall be fully remonetized, and
that it shall again be, made . money
metal, the same as gold, the same as it
was before its characterization id 1878.
We declare for greenhacks [great ap-
plause1, and for their substitution
gradually for the National Bank notes
of the country [renewed applause],
and that they hereafter shall be the
sole currency Of the United States.
[Cries OF "Good,' and applause.] We
further say and believe that the right
to make money, whether paper or
coin, inheres In the Government
alone; and 1t is prerogatfve that
ought not and should not be delegated
to any corporation or Individual.
[Great applause.] And, my fellow
citizens, we commend in the highest
possible degree the late sixty third
General Assembly Of Ohio-that As
sembly which has done more work, 1
think, than any of its predecessors
that Legislature which has accomp plsh-
ed the vast labor Of codifying the laws
of the State. making . volume or near.
" four thousand pages; aud further
more, which has saved to the tax-hur-
dened people of this State over its pre-
decessor nearly s., 200, 900. It IL q re-
suit of which the Democracy may we'll
be proud, and which will at all times
vindicate ITSELF
And, now, my fellow Democrats and
citizens, we must organize for victory
(eheers1: that Is, let it be the watch
word. Many there are who are op.
posed to US on the old issues that are
now shoulder to shoulder with us on
the issues Of the present. We cordial
" invite ali who are with us on the
issues involved to come and vote with
us in the coming October. Let US
again bring into prestige and power
the old Democratic party, = founded
by Jefferson and ~ adhered to by Mad
ison and jackson. Let us ask all to
join our ranks who love honesty and
fair dealing, and who despise and con.
denim corruption and fraud all who
lows Tie sacrsdness Of the bsiiot, and
would not have it controlled either by
the bayonet or by Supervisors Of Elec-
tions and Deputy Marshals; all who
love our institutions as founded by the
fathers, and look forward with hope
aud courage to the time when the bur-
dens OF the General Government will
be as light as its blessings are l,enefl-
cent; when the rich shall not be made
richer and the poor poorer by act of
Congress, and when the blessings of
the Government, both State and Ma
tional, shalt be equal and to all alike,
and fall as gently rs the dews come
down from heaven.
The Democracy are in perfect ac-
cord, in perfect harmony through the
length and breadth of the State and
being such, we are invincible, and vic
tory will perch upon our banners.
lApplause.] Let us step to the front,
and fight the battle on the aggressive.
With firm and decided stand we will
elect the whole of our State ticket, and
majority of the Legislature. Zap
plause. With Ohio Democratic this
fall. we will sweep the whole country
from Maine to California in the Pres
idential contest in 1880 by such major
tiles that no fraudulent and corrupt
Returning Boards will again attempt
to count out the legally elected Presi-
dent. [Applause.] With truth, JUS
tice, right and the cause Of the people
on our side, we cannot fail. LGreat
applause.] 7ae
