earnest canvass had laid the fouf-
datlon for great victory, and Gull

as President. He referred to the
cosmopolitan character of Ohio's
people, and said it represented the
whole country. The platform of the
republican party is what has done it
(cheers) for twenty-five years. He
proceeded to briefly sketch its great
achievements. That which it has
done is the best assurance of that
which it intends to do-to advance
public credit and still further paw
off the public debt more rapidly;
and proceed in the right, cost what
it will. He believed President
Garfield's statement in his inaugural,
that all the powers he commands
will be used for the purpose. The
times are suspicious for this great
object Of the republican party. Bit

and freedmen gradually acquiring
force. Strong independent. friends
are springing up among those who

Of human rights. He depicted, in
glowing terms, the future Of the
100000 Of freeman in this country.
We have 10 room for a leader who
commands and dictates. (Great ap-
plause) We have a great people in
Ohio. We have never been and
never will be retired for a private or
a boss. The man who attempts to
command had better make his
will before hand. (Applause) He
congratulated them on the suspicious
opening Of the Garfield Administers

scarce we get along, on the whole,
comfortably. The wise financial
policy pursued by the last admins

supplemented. He paid a compli-
ment to Secretary Window for his
skillful judgment in this matter, but
took the edge of it off, by remarking
that he was an Ohio boy.
Sherman advocated the platform

the Administration and pledges Gar

endorses the policy of the party in
the protection of American labor
and discriminating in favor of home
producers. The question of the reg

be submitted to the people for
constitutional amendment that will
