CONCLUSION.
The Republican party has been as
faithful in State administration, and
it has been glorious in the admins
tration of national affairs. Standing
to-day upon the proud eminence to
which the country, under its control,
has attained, it may we'll be proud.
Well may it exclaim, in the very
presence Of the God of Liberty, JUS
tice and Mercy, "We have fought a
And going over the retrospect Of the
past twenty-six years, well may Re-
pub!icans answer, in the language of
inspiration, 1--WE, through faith in
liberty, justice and equal rights, have
'subdued kingdoms, wrought right
eousness, obtained promises, stopped
the mouths Of lions; quenched the
violence Of fire, escaped the edge Of
the sword, out Of weakness were made
strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned
to flight the armies of the Aliens"
To-day, my friends, which of these
great parties will you follow? Foster
is the type-representative and living
embodiment Of the genius and spirit
of Republicanism. Ohio never had a
better Governor than he. Ohio never
had cleaner, more faithful, or more
competent executive. A man of heart
and soul. True to Friendships; true to
honor; true to himself. The peer Of
our best men, and justly the pride of
ice, hypocrisy, and self-condemnation
of the Democracy. Foster was NOM
mated because he represents the cour-
age, the history and the pride Of the
Republican party. Bookwalter was
nominated because he represents an
attempt to invoke oblivion upon the
history, and is an outspoken abandon
ment of the idea Of courage or pride
in the Democratic party. One signi-
fies progress, enterprise, statesman
ship; the other signifies retrogression
by the back-door, return to dead ideas
and dead issues, and public renun-
citation of craftsmanship.
Foster is, and for years has been,
the truest and most generous friend
Of Garfield. Bookwalter was his Bit
ter and unrelenting foe and traducer.
Foster defended the name, fame, and
honor of Garfield in the great cam
paign last year. Bookwalter wrote
and published of him in a distant
State, and among strangers, that Gar
feld-Ohio's candidate -Ohio's pride,
was perjurer and bribe-taker" He,
the immaculate Bookwalter, would
vote for Hancock, because Garfield
was, as he said, unworthy. Men of
Ohio, in this solemn hour, amid the
awful realities of this time, will you
send it out to the world that Ohio has
raised, as it were, on the very grave
Of Garfield, a man, to be Governor of
this grand State, who signalized his
entry into the ranks Of the Democ-
racy less than one year ago, giving as
a sole reason that Garfield was Grim
inal fit only for the States Prison.
Curse the memory Of Garfield, if
you will, say Of him, as Guiteau did,
that he ought not to live; but, oh,
my countrymen! do not, in this awful
moment, elect to the highest Office in
your gift his bitter personal enemy,
and the man who, with Shiny tongue
and vipery pen, hurled such epithets
as did John Wesley Bookwalter at
Garfield less than one short year ago.
Your spoken denunciation may be
withdrawn; your curses may be for
gotten; but record like that will
live forever!
| do not know what may be in
store for us. know that Ohio loves
and reveres the name and fame of
James A. Garfield. It is proud OF his
record as a soldier. 1t indorses and
defends his career in Congress; it
stands by his administration as Presl-
dent, and above all and over all, it
admires and glories in his patient,
heroic, and glorious conduct while
sufferer from the hand of an assassin.
Whatever may come, Ohio loves Gar
field and honors his memory. 1t
loves those about him. 1t honors his
wife and has pride in his children.
1t may be that in October Ohio may
fguratively stand at the grave OF
Garfield, and mingle tears OF sorrow
in the dust above him for his "un-
timely taking off" 1t may be that
in those sad days we shall be erecting
a monument to his memory-a mon
ument to perpetuate Ohio's love for
her great son. Monuments must be
true to history. Monuments must
have inscriptions telling the truth.
How will it look if in October we are
compelled by fidelity to history to
inscribe upon his monument this:
"Here lie the mortal remains
of James A. Garfield, President
of the United States. He fell at the
hands of an assassin, July 2, 1881.
This monument is erected to show the
honor and respect for Garfield felt by
his countrymen Of Ohio. And in the
same wear that he fell the people of
Ohio elected John w. Bookwalter
Governor of Ohio, man who had
never been heard of in politics until
September, 1880, he wrote: II have
vet to cast my first Democratic vote.
I will not vote the Republican ticket
this year, for their candidate, James
A. Garfield, STANDS CONVICTED OF
BRIBERY AND PERJURY by A TRIBUNAL
OF HIS PEERS"
