To the Democracy Of Ohio:
We enter upon the campaign under
the most suspicious circumstances. We
are In possession Of both National and
State AdmihistIa,ions, and the affairs OF
each are being safely and wisely con.
ducted. The record Of President Cleve.
lsad has justified the hopes # his friends
and disappointed the predictions Of bis
enemies. A few months Of public ser.
vice has demonstrated that bis Admin
is,ration is to be one Of conscience and
courage Many abuses have been cor
rected and necessary reforms :naueura.
ted. Corruption fostered under Repub.
licsn rule has been exposed, and large
reduction in expenditures has been made
10 nearly every branch OF the public ser.
vice. The iavorites Who 20. sessed the
N,vsl Department have been driven ont.
and their Illegal contracts, obtained BY
indirect mesns, bave been set asiie.
Millions # acres Of the public domain,
which bai been inclosed by lsnd-grab.
bers, have been reclaimed. and this vast
territory secured to actual sestlers.
Finally ,all sectional anisosity has ended,
and complete harmony restored between
the North and the South.
The record of Governor Hoadly is
equally TO be commended. His Admin,
istration has brought credit TO himself
/ and strength to his party. ALI the de.
partments OF Stale and is Numerous IN.

and labor have been alike protected. He
