HAMILTON, o., Sept. 5.-Governor
Hoadley opened the campaign here this
evening in a speech which occupied two
hours in its delivery. He faced a very
large audience. Said he. THE Ohio
election will express the opinion of the
people upon my administration and that
of the sixty-sixth general assembly. Ii is
the first state election after the inaugum
ton Of Cleveland and Hendricks. 1t will,
therefore, be regarded as the expression
of the popular Judgment upon the policies
of the president and his advisers. OF
these | ask your approval, confident that
Democratic success means good govern
ment. state and national, which ought not
to be rebuked by defeat. The leader Of
the Republicans of Ohio has carefully pre-
pared the appeal of his party and sent it
from the stump through the press of the
country. lie waves the bloody shirt, he
endorses the policy of alienation and hate;
he seeks to transplant and cultivate in
this country the feelings of the English
aristocrncy towards the Irish, to array
section against section, to govern the
South from the North as Dublin castle
governs Ireland, as a conquered province,
and all this in the year of grace 1885,
twenty years and more after the close of
the war. Fve-sixths, perhaps more, of
the men who devised the rebellion, men
who fought its battles and men who over
came it, have passed away. There is u
new South and a new North-a new gen
Grafton full of new life. White men and
black men are side by side at work. The
south is developing new industries, weay-
ing cotton cloth, digging coal aud iron and
forging steel. God and nature, religion
and the human heart are forces against
which Sherman and Foraker contend and
Foster plots
To the policy Of alienation the speaker
said the Democratic party opposed union.
For hate it substituted love. Now, |
ask more, - said the speaker, Il solicit
approval, not forbearance. Mr.. Cleve-
land has held office six months. Congress
has not been IN session, yet much has
accomplished. The spirit of reform aud
economy has entered all departments.
Useless Offices and expenses have been
done away with, while the performance
of duty. civil and military, has been en-
forced. The government is not solicitious
to provide soft places for pets, but to save
money for the people, and keep the faith
pledged in the platform. II the navy,
which the Republican party destroyed, be
restored, it is now certain that It will be
honestly done. Under this administra
ton there will be no loose contracting, no
Jobs let at prices nominally low, to be
made high by extras or by scamping
the work. The remnant OF the ma
tional domain, which the Democratic
presidents, jefferson and Monroe and
Polk added to II territory, the residue
of which Republican extravaganza has
not wasted on corporations and fayorites,
is saved from the cattle kings and other
plunderers for the benefit of the people.
Maybe that the r%evivals of industry we
read of are not results of Democratic sue
cezs. They are at any rate coincident.
The Republican prophecy is falsi6ed, and
the Republican prophets silenced.
The speaker defended the supreme
court against the criticisms passed upon
it by Senator Sherman and after speaking
Of the fate of the Scott law, he said I'VE
are opposed to sumptuary legislation, and
in favor Of licensing the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors. We believe in self con
troll, and that the true remedy against the
temptations of liquor drinking is to make
happy homes; and that personal liberty
should not be destroyed by law, excepting
where its exercise is always wrong.
