The weekly clarion., 1879-10-01

understand one of the speeches O T the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, he admits that the
panic of 1873 made resumption possible. If
50, where is the merit of the Resumption
Act which was not passed until January IA,
/ 1870? | agree that resumption necessarily
followed the panic of 1873, just as it follow
ed the panic Of So, without q Resumption
Act, but it took five or six years 10
+ resume, Just rs IL took the same time after
. 1887.
But another cause has largely contribu-
! ted 70 our sO-called resumption, and for this
cause our Republican rulers certainly claim
no credit Owing 10 bountiful crops I'm
I Europe for three years, the balance oftrade,
instead of being against us. has been large
] ~ IN our favor; until, at length, gold is
being shipped, in large amounts, q this
country to pay for bread.
/ Another cause that has facilitated the
equalization OF paper and coin, was the
+ Democratic measure of rem0netiziug silver,
which President HAYES vetoed but which
we passed over his veto.
still another cause, was the Democratic
bill that put an end to the destruction of the
greenback. For without the greenback i'm
existence, neither Secretary sherman nor
the National Banks would have the audaci-
ty 10 pretend that they could maintain
actual specie payments. Ina q word, my
friends, the claim of the Radical leaders 10
your support ON the ground Chat they have
( brought about prosperity 20 the country by
resumption otsprcie payments, is q bold
pretense, without any foundation i'm fact,
that can deceive none but those who are
Ignorant or those who wish 10 bc deceived.
In conclusion upon this subject let me
say, that they who charge us with "a pur-
pose to unu0 what has been done, and 10
plunge the country into Wild career of
imitation, do us the greatest injustice
However much we dcplore the suffer
ing that has been caused by Radical
measures, and especially by the contraction
of the currency, We have no purpose TO em-
bark upon a career Of wild and senseles5
speculation. There never was a platform
adopted by q political party iu America
that insisted SO strongly upon a stable cur
rency as does the platform Of the Ohio De
mocracy. To that platform we can safely
point tor a complete retutati0n of the false
accusations of our enemies.
RADICAL INVENTION.
My friends, have but one thing more to
say 10 you tonight, for it is time that l had
brought my remarks to a close. 1 have
been amused by the inventive genius Of our
opponents rs | have seen il lately displayed
in the press. One day l have read of a
horrible conspiracy of Thurman and his
friends to defeat Ewing, and the next day

l pray you not To be in the least
disturbed by these inventions General
Ewing is the regular nominee Of the Demo
cratic party for the Office of Governor.
l shall do all in my power TO elect him, and
| trust that every Democrat in the State
will do likewise. In view of the conse-
quences to result from our election this
fall, | do most sincerely hope that there
may be no discord no dissension, no bolt
ing in our ranks. And have every reason
to believe that there will be none. From
all quarters l hear that the party is harmo-
NOUS, active and full of spirit Let il do
is duty manfully and earnestly, and
victory will crown its labors and It's efforts
