in a hopeless district, have been buried
under 5000 republican majority, but
brave hearts and noble men threw II or
and buried IL under LOO democratic
majority. Your action of to-day Is
looked TO all over Ohio. Three hum
dred and fifty thousand Democrats
from the beautiful lakes on the north,
Sandusky and Cleveland, down to the
beautiful city on the south, where art
and culture reign supreme are anxious
for the success of the ticket, and / be-
lieve they will take your judgment as a
promise of glorious victory. When /
say that / add to it that / am a demo-
crat who is and always has been loyal
to the party In which l was born and in
which hope to die, am expressing
my honest opinion. In this hour of de-
feat two of US retire--the noble old vet
eran and the disciple. When we go out
he goes out as a candidate for another
place. So do 1. 1 go out as candidate
where am going to win. am going
out as candidate for high private in
the democratic ranks. want to say In
the language of one of old to show my
loyalty, my devotion to principle, my
love of the democratic party, that beg
of you not to ask me to leave you or for
sake you, nor to return from following
after you, for where you go 1 will go;
where you die there Twill die, and there
/ will be buried. But that will not be
this fall. The legislature repeated last
winter the same blunder they made be-
fore.
A little story and /, am done. 1t is
about the boy who attempted to break
the COW of switching her tail i'm his face
and that for that purpose tied the tail
around himself; and he said he had not
been taken around the barnyard more
than twice when he saw his mistake. /
observe the proprieties of this occasion.
1t is not the time for speech. l go
home with you to our constituents, to
our democratic friends, and next Octo-
ber, if we stand by our, standard bearer
whom you have just chosen, he will
lead us to glorious victory.
