THE OHIO CAMPAIGN,
THE MuosLlNaEa LET LOOSE.
The Violent and Vulgar Remark. of au Able %
Democratic statssman-"P "PiekawsI'I Speech at
Columbus, Ohlo, DlSsuSts dis Bresh'
rsR and AmussS the Republicans


edly the biggest bomb that has been thrown
into the political campaign by either party
during the present year was that OF the
speech OF Allen o. Myers, in the outskirts
OF the city. His remarks are commented
upon to-day by both his Republican friends
and Democratic adherents, as those oi
Dennis Kearney, and are calculated to
throw disrepute upon the entire Demo
cratic county and State ticket. No event
for years has oCcasionsd so much criticism,
and the Democrats are borne down with
gdef at the utterances OF their candidate,
which they denounce as those Of lunatiC
and u disciple OF Kearney. Prominent
Democrats 10 Columbus, who have hereto
fore adhered to Myers and his ciuse, today
openly repudiated him and say that he
should be locked up. The effect OF the
speech last night has been such as TO cause
the Democratic leaders to almost lose all
hope OF success in this county, usually good
for 1000 Democratic majority.
MYERS FRIENDS DISCOURAGED.
The condition OF affairs at the headquar-
teB OF the Democratic State Committee are
such as to discourage even the managers.
Many Of the old line speakers who have
been booked for speeches have found it
convenient to be absent, and their appoint
ments in many instances have been with
drawn. The speech OF Myers has had the
effect oil arraying the colored vote solidly
against him, an element from which he
hnu
With view TO showing up the desperation
OF the Democracy in this campaign, it is
but necessary to give synopsis Of Myers
speech, which hes had the effect Of encour-
aging the Republicans to renewed vigor.
It only shows the means, the arguments,
the filth and the political skullduggery
which are being INDUCED in and used to
gain a Democratic victory in Ohio.
The speech fAlr. Myers is substantially
az follows:
SAMPLE SENTENCES.
This campaign is not struggle between
the two great parties, but is one between
the laboring men and money bags. ! am
one OF your legislative candidates, aud was
nominated fairly and honestly, receivinga
IuHlOFlt} VI All NUleh cdst+ Was uuuiub
ted in spite OF Republican money aud Dem
ocratic bate. II elected, l will introduce a
bill into the Legislature to change the name
Of this State from Ohio to F0storia, and
about that time l will have Fosters nose
pointed toward the penitentiary, where he
belongs. A week ago challenged Foster
to debate, bat he refused to discuss with
me, and 1t was heralded TO the world that
l had "insulted the king" Jefferson
Davis is the Samson who freed the colored
race and not Abraham Lincoln OR the Re.
publican party. All glory and praise to
JEFF Davis. We don't want the nigger vote
this year, we don't want the Republican
votes, all we ask for is the votes Of good,
true Democrats and not soreheads. Foster
and the Republicans have stolen every
thing from the State House except the ar.
tesian well. have bad 10 60 home late at
night many time during the last eleven
years in this city with my weapon In my
hands, for fear Of the Fannings and New
burghs, whose rafcality / had exposed.
WILL YOU, THOUGH
1pledge my word that, II elected, l will
make the State House line-kiln in less
than two weeks after election day. Fred.
AIussey is stealing large sums from the
State daily in illegal fees. II elected, I will
expose him and his corrupt !sther-in-law,
and send them to the penitentiary. The
legs and arms lost in the late war are being
paid for with sinking old rag babies. E.
L. Hinman is putting up his money and
making daily pilgrimages to the Republi.
can headquarters for the purpose OF beat
ing me. II elected this time shall never
run for the office again. owe the State
big debt for educating me, and want to pay
1t back by going to the Legislature. l had
no business to abandon my business as
journalist and run for office. l was against
an appropriation for completing the sewers.
l never dodge or finch. l don't owe the
Typographical Union anything, nor the
Gnlpgers either. And SO on ad infnitum.
