luS lis OIu party, Judge Young
said:
"While I have nothing to say per-
sOnally against Ewing and Rice, yet
as a soldier I cannot support them,
as they represent elements which
cannot be identified with.
''Ihe Northern Democrats must
submit to the Southern policy. and
when the people of Kentucky nomi-
nate and elect a man like Blackburn
for Governor, they insult all loyal
men IN the United States"
In reference to the cry of "cen-
tralizatiOn' raised by the Democrats,
Judge Young said:
''The Government must use power
to quell all traitors, whether in Ohio
or Mississippi. There must be a lib
erty of conscience and a liberty of
action on the part of every Ameri-
can citizen"
In closing his remarks Judge
Young said ''The people who feel
as 1 do are in the Republican party
and not in the Democratic ranks,
where 1 have by accident associated
to some extent. I believe it is our
duty to cOunteract here the influence
Ewing has in other parts of the
State. We should put our shoulders
to the wheel and roll up as large a
majority as possible. My official po-
sitiOn excludes me from entering in
to the canvass as some of you will,
but am willing to do all 1 can, so
far as my influence extends, to help
the cause.
The above very significant "straw"
from the northern border, is we'll

treme southern part OF the State.
Mr.. J. Scott PEBBLES writes to the
Cincinnati Gazette that be recently
met in that city Capt E. B. Lod.
wick, formerly of Portsmouth, and
lifelong Democrat, who surprised
Mr.. PEBBLES by telling him that he
and his two sons intended to vote
the Republican ticket this fall. The
editors Of the Gazette sent a report
er to find Dir. LOdwick, and get his
reasons for abandoning his old par
ty, and the following interview was
the result:
Meeting Mr.. Lodwick at the
Chamber Of Commerce, our represen-
tative asked him if the statement he
mad heard was correct:
Mr.. Lit is"
Gazette-"Are you willing to give
me your reasons for leaving the
Democratic party and joining the
Republican party, for publication 2"
Mr.. Ii am. The sole reason
is because of the fallacies of the
Democratic party upon the financial
question. That party has for years
oeen prophesying that the policy Of
resumption as declared for by the
Republican party, and as carried out
Oy Secretary Sherman and Repub-
ican administration, would send the
country to the dogs"
Gazette-"YOu have found out
that it has not done so, then, I sup
pose ?"
Mr.. L.-"That is exactly It. The
country, financially, has never been
IN a more prosperous condition since
the war than it is to-day. Resump-
ton has become a fixed fact. 1t is
no longer an uncertainty or a prob
ability, and the country, instead of
being bankrupt or going to the dogs,
is, as l said before, on a more solid
basis than ever. Business of all
kinds, as far as I can learn, is pick
ing up. I notice this more especial
ly in the iron trade, in which I am
largely interested. A few years ago,
under the uncertainty of the money
question, the immense furnaces and
rolling mills up the river at Ashland,
IrontOn, Portsmouth and other
points, were lying almost idle. To-
day, when a dollar in gold and a dol
lar in paper are equal in value, the
whole status of aff4irs is changed.
The fires are again lighted in the
furnaces, the rylling mills are again
running, and capt. lists no longer
keeping their money locked up in
their ponderous safes or in banks,
are taking it out, anxious to invest
it. Within the past two days my
firm has received two propositions
from companies Of capitalists, look
ing forward to the purchase of our
mills. All these things 1 look upon
as the result of the successful out
come of the resumption policy of the
Republican party, despite the jeers
and aootings of the Democracy, and
feeling that I can no longer remain
in or support any party whose poll
cy I consider averse to the business
interests Of the country, 1 have, af-
ter carefully looking at the matter
in all of its lights, determined to
connect myself with and support the
Republican party, as long as it main
tains its present policy on the fnan-
cial question.
Gazette-"Are there any other
reasons, Mr.. Lodwick?"
Mr.. L.-'No, sir; L want it dis
tinctly understood that look with
and aversion upon all these section
al questions and hates, as disadvan-
tageous 20 the business interests of.
the country, and, as 1 have only the
business interests of the country at
heart, and, as I said before, believing
in the policy Of the Republican par
ty upon the financial question, and
that it is the disturbal of the fl
nances which affects the business in.
terests Of the country, and for this
reason alone, that I intend to afii-
ate myself with the Republican par
ty."
