THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 10, 1885.
THE OHIO CANVASS.
Governor Hoadly opened the campaign at
Hamilton last Saturday by referring to re-
cent speeches of his opponent, Judge Fore
aker and Senator Sherman. He said:
'sThe leader of Republicans of Ohio has
carefully prepared an appeal to his 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
aristocracy towards the Irish, to arouse sec
ton against section, to govern the South
from the North as Dublin Castle governs
Ireland, as a conquered proVlnce-and all
this in the year of grace 1885, twenty years
or more after the end of the war. The av-
erage life of an ordinary generation is thir-
ty years. Owing to the casualties OF war,
which cost our country at least million
lives, the duration of the generation 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 this
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 ma
ton, South and North, for both died with
words upon their lips and feelings in their
hearts of charity to all, malice towards
none. Seward and Sumner, Chase and Fes-
sender, Douglas and Stephens, Lee and
Breckenridge these are historic, not living
names. Alone of the author OF the re-
bellion Jefferson Davis survives. Boys
born when the war hroke out have been
voting for three years past. Boys born al
ter the war will vote next year. Boys TOO
young to bear arms are now mature men OF
Is. There is a new South and new North.
A new generation full of life is at work.
A very large proportion Of the people of
the South have never seen slave and have
lived under no other regime but that OF un-
iversal suffrage. Is it not time for Sher-
man and Foreaker to accept the results OF
the war and no longer continue in battle
Eight millions of bales of cotton, the prob
able 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 devel-
oping new industries, weaving cotton cloth,
digging coal and iron, forging steel. COD
are the forces against which Sherman and
Foreaker contend and Foster plots"
To the policy of alienation, the speaker
said the Democratic party opposed union
for hate it substituted love.
"Let US Danish the unmanly fears of
Southern wrong-doing," he continued and
cease to eXagerate occasional personal con-
fiicts into wars of races. Danville and Co.
piah 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 con-
sistent with the greatest liberty to all will
in time cure all the ills of the State and Ma
ton. Sherman is distressed be-
cause Lamar and Garland and Bayard, two
of them members of the Confederate Con-
gress and one a man who sympathized
with them. are at the head of the great de-
partments of the Government. Oh, yes, it
was we'll to put Key at the head of the
postoffice department. With one Conteder-
ate the Cabinet was all right; but tWo-tWo
are lamentable concession to treason! NO,
not quite this even. Akerman was prop
er attorney-general, Key, most becoming
postmaster-genera but two at time-Gar-
land and Lamar together! Aye, there's
the rub! The tears of crockadiles are free
ly shed as Sherman softly sings Insatiate
archer would not one suffice" Mosby,
Madison, Wells, Malone and Chalmers
the guerillas, the returning board, the re-
pudiator 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 unregen-
crate children of political satan, unfit to
serve the Republic"
The speaker said he asked for reelection
as an approval of the present Administra-
ton.
"Now ask for more," he continued. II
solicit approval, not forbearance. Mr..
Cleveland has held Office six months. Con-
gress has not been in session, yet much has
been ACCOMPLISHED. The spirit of reform
and economy has entered all departments.
Useless offices and expenses 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
platform. n 1t is sweet, it is delicious,
brethren, to hear Republican lamentations
as expressed by John Sherman, who work.
ed the treasury department for all it was
worth in 1880 to nominate himself for Pres
ident, and who never recommended DEM
ocrat for civil office in his life. That i'm
partial non-partisan civil service OF our
country is in danger"
The remainder of the Governors speech
was devoted to State affairs.
