The Republicans this evening marched
to the public square with torch.Iight
procession and band. General Hawley,
who was first introduced, said that this
meeting was surprise to him, he having
promised, to speak only five times this
week: "'But," he added, ait makes no
difference; you may carry me home on a
stretcher If you carry Ohio the way you
should.y he first discussed the financial
questions The difference between re.
sumption and equalization OF paper and
coin, made 80 much OF by the Democrats,
he showed to be really nothing. The de-
mand Of the Democrats that the gold be
given them for their greenbacks at every
bank in the country where they chose TO
ask 1t is absurd. Do you expect to have
your letters delivered at every farm house?
The amount OF gold required for resnmp-
ton would be increased immensely by
this multiplication OF redeeming points.
The State-rights doctrine in Congress
seemed like going back forty years. The
debates were the same ones that Webster
and Hayne had participated in, the argu.
ments the same that had come down
through Calhoun, Jefferson Davis. and
the whole line OF secession Democrats.
The statement Of leading Democrats in
Congress that the United States was not q
nation is monstrous. Does youS State
! Constitution in Ohio say who shall be
eligible to the Office OF Representative
No; II is the Constitution OF the United
EssEiea. Does the Constitution Of Ohio say
who shall vote for Representative No;
lit Is again the Constitution OF the United
States, And there is another right the
United States has. II It has the right oi
saying who shall vote for its Congressman,
it must have the right to protect
them in the exercise OF that right;
and not only is it lawful to use the mill
tary power il necessary to give the re.
quired protection, but II necessary the
men Of the country would be called oul
by thousands to form q triple wall OF steel
around the ballot box. But there has
i never been any interference at the polls
with voters. Afew United States soldier
stationed in the barracks at the state capi
tails In some cases were found sufficient t
protect thousands OF colored voters al
over the'st With me the only time
the federal soldiers interfered in my votinl
was during the war OF the rebellion, wher
instead Of being allowed to vote quietl,
in the Second ward Of Hartford, as l die
last Monday, had to reach down from
my saddle and give my ballot to my state'i
commissioner, and was in battle at day
break!
This government has protecting power
over all. There are many direct lines pass
ing from US TO the general governmen
that the state constitutions do not touch
There Is one way that you men oi Obi,
can make the Rebels Of 1915 glad; yol
can make their faces smile rs they get tn
news next Tuesday night and Wednes
day morning and that way Is, vote 10
