A NEW SOUTH, A NEW NORTH.

HAMILTON, OHIO, September Sin
opening the campaign here this evening
Governor Hoadly referred to the recent
speeches of Senator Sherman and Judge
Foraker in the following language:
"The leader of the Republicans of
Ohio has carefully prepared an appeal
toshis party and sent it from the stump
through the press to the country. He
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 aris-
tocracy towards the Irish, to arouse sec
ton 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 1855, twenty
years and more after the end of the war.
The average life of an ordinary genera
tion is thirty years. Owing to the casu-
alties of war, which cost our country at
least million lives, the duration of the
generation now passing away has been
less than this. twenty-five years have
elapsed since Lincoln's election. Five
sevenths, perhaps more, of the men who
devised the rebellion, the men who fought
its battles and the men who overcame it,
have passed away. The great civil and
great military leaders, Lincoln and
Grant, both sleep in graves bathed in the
tears of the whole nation, South and
North, and both died with words upon
their lips and feelings in their hearts OF
charity to all, malice towards none.
Seward and Sumner, Chase and Fessen.
den, Douglas and Stephens, Lee and
Breckenridge-these are historic, not
living names. Alone of the authors of
the rebellion Jefferson Davis survives.
Boys born when the war broke out have
been voting for three years past. Boys
born after The war will vote next year.
Boys too young to bear arms are now
mature men of 35. There is new
South and new North. A new gener-
alton full of new life is at work. A very
large proportion of the people of the
South have never seen a slave and have
lived under 40 other regime but. that OF
universal suffrage. Is it not time for the
Shermans and Forakers to accept the re-
suits of the war and no longer to contin.
ue in battle? Eight millions of bales OF
cotton, the probable crop this year, are
in sight. There are no idlers in the
South. Why croak in the North?
White men and black men are side by
side at work. The South is developing
new industries, weaving cotton cloth,
digging coal and iron, forging steel.
God and nature, religion and the human
heart are the forces against which Sher-
man and Foraker contend and Foster
plots"
To the policy of alienation, the speak.
er said, the Democratic party opposed
union; for hate it substituted love.
"Let us Danish these unmanly fears OF
Southern wrong.doing," he continued,
"and cease to exaggerate occasional per-
sonal conflicts into wars of races. Dan
Vile and Copiah are worn out. Turn
out some new grist, oh, grinders OF the
outrage mill Home rule and as little
application of the eternal principle OF
regulation as is consistent with the
greatest liberty to all the ills of the State
and Nation. Sherman is dis.
tressed because Lamar and Garland and
Bayard, two of them members OF the
Confederate Congress and one a man
who sympathized with them, are at the
head of the. great departments OF the
Government. Oh, yes, it was we'll to
put Key at the head of the postoffice
department. With one Confederate the
Cabinet was all right; but two-two are
lamentable concession to treason! NO,
not quite this even. Akerman was q
proper attorney general, Key a most
becoming postmaster.general; but two
at time-Garland and Lamar together
Aye, there's the rub! The tears Of croc-
odiles are freely shed as Sherman softly
sings :Insatiate archer would not one
suffice? NIosby, Madison, Wells, Ma
hone and Chalmers-the guerillas, the
returning board, the repudiator and the
Fort Pillow butcher-all these have had
their garments washed, but Lawton and
Jackson, Jonas and Lamar and Garland,
the best and purest men of the South
these to our Senators are unregenerate
children of political satan, unfit to serve
the Republic"
The speaker said he asked for re.elec-
ton as an approval of the present Ad'
ministration.
."Now ask for more" he continued.
.I solicit approval, not forbearance. Dir.
Cleveland has held Office six months.
Congress has not been in session.. yet
much has been accomplished. The spir.
it of reform and economy has entered all
departments. Useless offices and expen'
ses have been done away with, while the
performance of duty, civil and military,
has been enforced. The Government is
not solicitous to provide soft places for
pets, but to save money for the people
and to keep the faith pledged in the plat
form. II It is sweet, it is de.
licious, brethren, to hear Republican
lamentation as expressed by John Sher-
man, who worked the treasury depart
n,ent for all it was worth in 1880 to NOM
mate himself for President, and who
never recommended Democrat for civil
Office in his life. That impartial, non
partisan civil service of our country is in
danger"
The remainder of the Governors speech
was devoted. to State affairs.
