ITO the Democracy Of Ohio:
"We enter upon the camgaign under
the most auspicious circumstances. We
are in possession of both state and
national administrations, and the affairs
of each are being safely and wisely con-
Quoted. The record of President Cleve-
land has justified the hopes of his
friends and disappointed the predictions
of his enemies. A few months of pub
lie service have demonstrated that his
administration is to be one of conscience
and courage. Many abuses have been
corrected and necessary reforms inau-
gurated.
Corruption, fostered under Repub-
lican rule, has been exposed and large
reduction in expenditures has been
made in nearly every branch of the
public service. The favorites who pos
sessed the naval department have been
driven out and their illegal contracts,
obtained by indirect means, have been
set aside. Millions of acres of the pub
ilC WnlCu Ildu UtcH lttCfOStu Dy
land grabbers have been reclaimed and
this vast territory secured to actual set
lers. Finally, all sectional animosity
has ended and complete harmony is
restored between the North and South.
''The record of Governor Hoadly is
equally to be commended. His admin
istration has brought credit to himself
and strength to his party. All the de.
partments of State and its numerous
institutions have been carefully and
honestly managed. The interests oi
capital and labor have been alike pro.
tected. He has concealed his views or
no public question, and his position or
every issue before the people has beer
clearly and fearlessly announced.
"The business men of the country, o
all parties, have confidence in both oul
federal and domestic administrations
and in consequence business is agair
reviving and property increasing il
value. Our recent convention wa
marked with the greatest harmony
There were no factions and no dissen
sions. The ticket had already beer
substantially selected by the people
and was ratified by the convention by
acclamation. The Endorsement givel
to President Cleveland, Governo
Hoadly and their work was honest an,
earnest. We owe it to ourselves to Sc
that we give them an equally enthusi
astic endorsement at the polls.
"The cause of Democracy and goo'
government depend on the contest
; We cannot afford to allow our faithful
and efficient governor to suffer defea
at the hands of the political enemies 0
the Democratic party. His cause
: the cause of our party. His success O
defeat is the success or defeat of tn
party for whose supremacy we hav
: contested for many years. 1t is ou
: fight and it will be our victory.
! .'The campaign is,a short one. Or
State and local committees are alread
: pushing forward the work of thoroug
{ organization. We appeal to ever
Democrat in the State to unite with |
: in carrying forward the good work.
J, we receive the earnest support at I'll
hands of our friends which we ask an
expect, we promise you substanti
9 victory on October.
