congratulate you that Ohio that sent 3jO-
900 Of her brave, true and loyal sons forth

idation and fraud at the South, and a ma
1orltty of less than twelve hundred in New
South and the English dude sympathizers in
the city of New York
Felew Republicans: You have assembled
for the first time in twenty years with the
enemy in power in both State and Nation.
Though defeated, we have not surrendered,
nor are we discouraged; to Bull Run came
an Appomattox, to our defeat in 1884 will
come q glorious Apponatox In the Nation In
1883. To our defeat in Ohio In 1888 will come
a aglorious victory in 1885, Tho mission of the
Republican party is not ended, nor will II
end; born in defense OF universal freedom,
rocked In the cradle Of equal rights, pillowed
on the bosom of liberty, IL will not soon die.
Nor will the American people long continue
in power aparty that sends as its represent
atives TO foreign courts men who do not be-
lIeve in a Republican form OF government
They will not long continue In power party
that sends as its representatives to foreign
courts men who were but yesterday the enc
mics of the Union and who were engaged In
open rebellion against IT. they will not con-
tinue IN power party that pulls down, to
half-mast, the banner OF the Republic, the
dear old stars and stripes on the announce
ment of the death Of an old traitor Jake
Thompson. They will not long continue In
power President who nominates as rep
resentatves TO foreign courts men who
have so recently been In rebellion against
the Union that their disabilities have not
been removed.
Fellow Republicans: I congratulate you
upon the brilliant prospects and many omens
of success and victory at the coming cleo
tion. You have assembled TO perform very
stoned by the Republicans of Ohio TO name
the next Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Judge of the Supreme Court, Treasurer, AT.
tOrney General, and Member or the Board OF
Public Works Of Ohio. This Is no unmeaning
ceremony. The ticket nominated to-day will
be elected In October. The candidate you
name for Governor Will be the next Governor
OF Ohio, and Onehundred gun Hoadly may
retire 10 private life and may engage with
his wicked partner In the practice OF his
profession,
Your candidate should be a man OF ability,
with clear head and u pure heart. He
should be n known and not an unknown
quantity. A man with more than state
reputation; man whose election would
mean something and whose nomination Will
assist us TO carry the next Legislature, and
send Republican 10 succeed Senator John
Sherman I'm the United States Senate.
believe that any OF the candidates whose
names have been mentioned in connection
with the Governorship are fully up to this
requisite.
You will have yet another important duty
to perform, the adoption of platform.
Though Grover Cleveland occupies seat
in the White House, the people Of the Nation
still look TO the Republican party as the
party of principles, OF purity, and of honest

ought 10 be broad enough and strong enough
TO hold every Republican in the State. Let
our work be so done that when we have
adopted our platform nominated our candi-
dates, finished our work and returned 10 our
homes, that each and every one of us will go
with the determination 70 bring victory TO
our banner and to give majority OF twenty
i've thousand to our ticket, and thus speak
in tones of thunder In dlsapprobation OF the
present State and National Democratic ad-
mnlstration. Let no unkind word be here
said, let no wounds be made that must be
healed let harmony prevail. Look first TO
the good of the Republican party. Let each
remember that tho voice of the majority
must rule, that though we may be dis

years ago nc the head OF our ticket, made n
most brilliant fight and who, though defeat

Or the gallant, brave and eloquent General
Robert Kennedy, who has gone up and down
this State in sunshine and storm working by
night and by day for the success Of the party
that saved the Union. and made this q land
of freedom In deed and In truthT q Republic

equally brave and eloquent General John A. !.
Beatty, whose soldier record is rs good as theI

Any of these men are worthy Of the sup

OF Ohio, and any one Of these, II nominated,
will be triumphantly elected.

out OF the party that saved 1t from treason
and disunlon.into the bands Of the party
