An ohio MANS Ideas or Ohio Men-TWO
= Hours OF wasted Time.

In this city, and the promise was fulfilled
last night. The speaking was at first ar
ralgned for the Capitol Square, but the
Democratic saloon keepers on the South
Side have been regarding with envy the
rich haryests that John Kenney has been
reaping in the First ward and demanded
a change of base, and when Democratic
saloon keeper says anything must be done,
the leaders Of the Democracy do 1t, and in
this instance platform was put up at the
lower end OF the Filth Ward Market
House Square, nearly in front oil
SchwarlZ's saloon and conveniently near
several others. Kramer's Band and fifteen
or twenty boys bearing torches made up
the procession, which drew up In front OIL
the stand about 8 o'clock.
From the roof OF Schwartz's saloon some
Roman candles and rockets were let on
at intervals, as were also some very strong
wells from the irrepressible small boy in
The neiphborhood. By o'clock there was
a crowd Of several hundred in front oil the
stand. This crowd Col. Kimberly called
10 order, and named Col. Z. NJ. Delaplain
Chairman. Col. Delaplain In taking the
Chair made the greatest elfortof his life,
he said "without further preamble in.
troducet 10 you Hon. j. 81. Follett, oil
Ohio"
The Ohio man mounted box and for
the first time was seen by most oil his au.
dience. Judge Follett wouldn't at first
sight impress a Democratic audience with
the idea that he had ever been q Judge.
He is most ordinary looking individual
and as he progressed with hisspeech his
audience became thoroughly impressed
with the idea that be was far more ordi-
nary than bis exterior indicated. In be
ginning, he said he was happy to meet 50
many Democrats, and then said, for "De'
mocfacy is the cause Of the people," Ills
next assertion was equally as probable
viz: "ohio will wheel into line this fall
with the other Democratic States" With
these few preliminaries he turned his at
ton to "His Fraudulercy, r. B. Hayes
TO "Credy Mobeelyer" and "De Goalyer
paving contracts, all OF which he handled
lin manner much inferior to the edortso
Johnny 0'Pendleton, Gel. Arnett or Gen,
White, which are SO familiar to all the De
mocracy in this city.
The Salary Grab was also mentioned
and Garfield accused OF being its active
agent. But the speaker did not tell hiI
audience OF Garfield's action in the mat
ter, nor OF Senator Henry g. Davis fail
ure to return his share.
His whole haraDgue, which aboundet
in throwing dirt, resurrecting old thread
bare campaign stories, was so familiar Il
all OF his hearers that 1t scarcely elicitet
