When HAYES was elected mean when
Tilden was elected, (applause.) an Ohio
man got the Presidency. But we have a
different sort of "Ohio man. now as the
representative Of the sentimen is of the peo-
pie of that State-such msa as Allen G.
Thurman, now truly represent Ohio.
THE ISSUE IN OHIO.
| There has been good deal of nisappre-
! hension about the cause of the Democrat
ic success IN Ohio. Our Republican OPP
ponents have claimed that it was free
whiskey and no Sunday" This Is not so.
State issues were ignored and we fought it
on national issues. You in Virginia noD
have no State issues. You had ia the
past but you intelligent VirginiSns can
hardly be made to believe that the election
| of Congressman has anything to d. With
local issues. The issue in Congress now IL
ta.ration; that and nothing more. In Oaio
we fought it on this issue and agalnsn Il
system that makes a child commence pay
ing taxes before it is three weeks old.
NO FREE TRADE, BUT A REVISION IN
THE TARIFF.

THE GERMAN QUESTION
Ny congressional district is so full III
grange lodges that it is called the "Granstr
District" My mpettor was ths Grand
Master of the State Grange, ard big Off
Ger in the Grand Army of the Republic. l
couldn't get in at his lodges, 80 l vent to
the members Individually and begged them
not to vote to let this burden Of taxation
remain ON US. My district is Il rural dis
trct, and the Germans in it were Demo
Gratis before the election came on. 1t is
SANDER that the Germans of Ohio are OPP
posed to the keeping of the Sabbath. There
are no people there more obsarvant OF the
Sabbath. In the large cities the Germans
are engaged in the close and hot work
Shops all the week, and when Sunday
| comes they go to church and after church
they take their wives and children. after
the manner of their fatherland, and go off
to tIe green woods far away from the
cities and drink their beer and indulge in
| innocent amusemeats, and come home Or
derby and peacefully. They disturb no
body's Sabbath. The legislature passed
| law to put stop to that and the Germans
of the large cities voted against the party
| that did it. 1t is vile SANDER on one of
! the most sober. Industrious and peaceful
classes Of citizens in Ohio, to say that the
Germans favored free whiSkey and no Sab
bath. Great Applausel.
LIVING, NOT DEAD ISSUES, AND BOSSlsM
ONE OF THEM.
don't go into the past for issues,
speak to the living of present needs. We in
Ohio, like laboring people everywhere, are
more concerned with he present than the
past. 1t is no good to go back to what
Jefferson, or Madison, or Washington. or
Lincoln, or Grant said or did. That is all
in the past We don't care to go to the
past. What we want TO know is what is
best for us to do noau. But there is one
part of the past so near that we cannot
put it behind us, Only two years ago at
the Chicago convention Grant, Blaine and
Sherman were all candidates for the NOM
| nation A faction had determined on
forcing Grant on the people for a third
term. They dehed all precedents and de-
| termined that Grant, with his rotten dynas-
| ty of thieving and corruption, (cheer J,
should be reinstated. TO do CHS Conk-
ling, boss, and Cameron. another boss,
undertook to whip in a majority. The
independent Republicans rebelled aud
James A. Garfield of Ohio. was nominal
ted. He received majority of the cleo
toral vote, but minority of the popular
vote, ard went to Washington with the
prayers of Ohio at his back. When he got
there he attempted to reform the civil SER
vice. 1.-THE speaker here gave a history Of
Garfields struggle with Conkllng, the lat
ter being aided by Chester A. Arthar and
the ending Of that struggle by tue assassna-
! ton of Garfield and the elevation of Ar
thur.1 Soon after Arthur's elevation he
so far forgot his place and stopped 50 low
as to go into partnership with Billy Ma
hone. (Cheers.) We Democrats of Ohio
owe Malone something for his assessments
| and his attempt to corrupt the people of
Virginia with money, (applause,) and If
| Arthur and Malone will only keep on III
the way they are going there won't be Re
