lie alone can glory in being born a
Republican or in belonging to the party
at this time who is bereft OF the senses
who, having a tongue, tastes not; nav
ing hands, feels not; having eyes, sees
not; having ears, hears not, and having
nose, smells not the rank, sickening,
gangrenOus corruption permeatlng the
entire body of its leaders.
To the Democratic party alone can the
people look for relief. With thrO0blng
hearts and longing eyes do they await
the restoration of the party to power of
| the party welded to the Constitution
and to the sacred rights of the whole
people. The times are prOpiti0us and
| the outlook encouraging If with strong
arms and brave, manly hearts we rally
! around the flag of our grand old party,
the banner of freedom, the sign of prom
ise to the struggling, dissatisfied people.
But think not, Democrats of Ohio, that
victory will come to you without an
earnest, active, persistent struggle to OBJ
tain it. There is arTayed against you
the aggregated wealth of mOnOpOlles,
the organized force of office holders, and
the power of the political boss, ht c0un-
terparts of the Christians foes, the
world, the flesh and the devil" And if
you would succeed inscTibe on your
banners those principles of liberty, fra
ternity and equality that are heir-loOms
of the Democratic party, place that BAN
ner in the hands of tried and true men,
who have the requisite courage and ca
pacity to be standard bearers of such a
party in such contest, and then rally
unitedly, earnestly, ZealOusly and brave
ly in defense of it. Do this, and when
the votes are counted out, songs of tri-
umph and shouts of victory will not
only gladden. your hearts, but bring re-
lief to suffering people"
The speech was interrupted repeatedly
by enthusiastic applause. The demon
stratiOn was very marked in response to
his reference to the strikers, and that
part touching on the Legislature of last
winter set the delegates in the parquet
wild, and brought down, in fact, the
whole house.. The address was pro-
nounced one of the ablest ever delivered
on such an occasion. Mr.. FOllett at once
brought the Convention down to busi-
ness, and had the Congressional dele
cations called for reports as to the selec-
