From Morning Editionl
Ex-Gov. Foster delivered his first set pollt-
ical speech of the campaign at New Carlisle
Monday evening. The governor was accom-
panied to New Carlisle by q large and enthu-
sias,ic delegation Of the Plug Hat Brigade,
headed by the Lagonda Band. When the !.
B. & W. train stopped at New Carlisle at
about I o'clock, a Foraker club and
brass band were in waiting for them, and
they paraded through the principal streets of
the village.
The boys thought the streets OF New Car
Isle very long and the dust very deep, but
/ the procession eventually wound up at the
speakers stand at the Bank corner, where,
after an intermission Of half an hour, the
| meeting was called to order by DR.. Netl, who
delivered short address, aud introduced as
the speaker OF the evening, Gov. Foster. The
Governor commenced by saying;
| "MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ::
| As | rode over here tonight through this
beautiful valley, met on the train gentle
| man from station below here, Mr.. Forgy,
and of him | inquired what large buildings
| those were up to the lett. He informed me that
they were the high school of this township.
knew that there were such things in the
state OF Ohio, a few of them. But this
IS the first one that ! have seen.
| He then gave me little history Of the school
enterprise OF this township, and OF course
needed no further information upon the sub
ject of the politics Of the township. Laugh.
ter.
come here tonight, my iellow.ci,zens, tc
discuss with you in very candid way some
OF the issues that are involved in this cam.
paign. am one OF those who believe thai
there is more than one issue in this cam
p,igD.
am one of those who believe that tn,
question OF the tariff, that the question o
financial policies, OF nationsl and state admin
| is'ration, are Il the most deep concern to thu
people. ! also believe, while ! am not dis
posed to raise sectional issues, that the repub
lican platform expresses sound sentimen
when it says the right To vote anC
to have that vote counted, is the concern 0
all the people of this country.
There are people discussing public ques
tions in this canvass who believe, who ex pres
themselves, At least, SO, that there is but on
issue involved. Now, my fellow-ctizens, tn
republican PARTY was in power in this coun
try for many years. | need not recount it
glorious history to the intelligent people o
Clark county. 1t saved the life o
the nation, preserved free institutions, free
four millions Of slaves, Reconstructed tn
union. It adopted financial policy, by an
through which the nation grew as no othe

out of power on the 4th OF March last,
went out OF power in a country that was tn
freest the best governed and the happies
, people upon the face of the earth. How di
it get out Of power. Why did it 60 out c
powerH
There were a variety ot reasons, but on th
4th Of November last the republican party i
: all this great west was as strong and as vigor
} | Gus and as energetic a. ii ever was during il
= existence. Eliminate from the causes in III
state Of New York one OF twenty diherer
: | things, and James G. Blaine would hsy
r been elected and the republican party tr
e | umphant. II our prohibition frienC
f | in New York could have seen it the
e duty not to have run q ticket even, James
: Blaine would have been elected president
the United States. II Father Burchard hadn
been unfortunate in a single ulterance, jam
g. Blaine would have been elected. And
with twenty other causes. But the arg,
q menn that were used to defeat the republics
l. party in the last election were something Ill

a democratic speech made in Il
