Republican poslmastera for not res gn'
Ing and shouted for the splendid ticket
placed In the field TO day,
General Samuel n. Cary, OF Clncin'
natl, then made one OF hls characteristic
speeches, ind0ralng Governor Hoadly
aud the administration OF President
Cleveland for the economy practlced In
all branches of the Government. The
Democrats, he said, would leave no large
amount OF money In the Treasury for
Congress- TO appropriate, but II was the
Democratic doctrine not 10 pile up mon
ey In the public Treasury, but TO leave
" In the pockets OF the people, 10 levy
only enough tax to pay the honest ex-
penses OF government.
THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION,
he said, should be taught In the schools,
aud children be made 10 know the harm
ful Qualities OF int0xlcanls. The Dem-
Ocralic party believed In self'c0ntr0l,
and In every man being responsible for
himself. He was friend OF temper

was practical ut present He wanted to
be aet down ~ q Democrat for all lime,
Chairman 0Myer1 introduced Hon.
John II, BOllett, as the recent victim
OF the peculiar methods OF the Republic
can party at the ballot box.
Mr., FOllett spoke ~ follows:
MIR ToLLETT's SPEECH,
lam not victim laughter1 but II
has been my fortune to show you and
the people of this country the Republi
can methods and their Ideas OF n pure
ballot. Aud as | sat here tonight |
have been thinking OF II publican nrgu
ments, aud arguments that they made
the people believe n few years ago Did
you ever know Of such crops az the far
mers are gathering this year, except
winter wheatY Aud Cleveland was not
iuaugurated In time TO save that, lap
plause and laughter IL was all winter
killed under the expiring days OF the
Republican Administration. Now II we
are 10 carry out the Republican argn.
ments this has oil come by reason OF
the election OF Grover Cleveland and
| the Inauguration Of the Democratic Al
minietratOn. Aud am not certain
but II Ia about right, Laugh
ter and applause,l II We are
TO Judge Of tho cold day and the
dampness that fell upon the Repub-
llcan oillce.hOlfers, they were u great
deal more hurt than the winter wheat
crop was last winter, Laughter and ap'
plause.l They told you before the elec
ton that once Democratic adminis'ra'
tlon was inaugnrated that country IN
sack. cloth and ashes would only be
characteristic OF the condition OF the
people, and YET OF the hundred thousand
Republican otllce-holdeTs In the country,
do not believe Ave have rendered thoir
designations.
Cleveland has been waiting, watch
Ing, anxious TO sec the designations
coming In, and when they have been In.
yited they have absolutely claimed hat
they had an inalienable right 10 the
Offices, aud that even the Democratic nd
ministration had no right 10 loot them
out. Applause, But they have got 10
20. Enthusiastic applause. Yes, they
have got 10 20; the voice OF tho people
has been heard aud the voice Of the peo'
pie " the voice OF God. Appause
Now, my fellow cltizsna, you have
ready been remlndl some OF the dire
calamlties that were going 10 beiall this
country OF ours as soon as The Democratic
party was restored TO power. The great
est blessing that an honest Republican
has had conferred upon him for years IL
the fact that Democratic adminiatra-
tion has been placed In power, and the
Ito given TO the charges that have been
made by Republican leaders ~ TO the
effect Of placing them In power.
Mr.. Follett then related an amusing
incident In point, aud proceeded ~ fol-
lows.
Aud now, my fellow citlzena, all these
things are passed; the 4 o. .. stands now
for gone out Of power" and after the
election this fall II will DO gone over
the preclpice." and God save and spare
the. .pleces. Applause and laughter, ]
Now, my friends, the Democratic party
has been the party OF the constitution
aud Of the people. Already the scrub
bing brush IL being applied, and up.
piled vigorously, In tho several depart.
ments OF the General Government, The
carriages and horses which were fur
nlahed nj the Treasury OF the United
States for private and family use have
all been sold. / am sorry To say recent
developments have shown that even In
the scientific departments OF the Gov.
ernment-those departments we had al.
ways supposed were kept free aud pure
from taint OF fraud-frauds have run
riot, and when one OF the men the Re-
publican party denounced as On unre.
pentant rebel, commence the inyestiga.
ton Of these departments, they all be-
gin TO hunt their holes, and no has yet
hardly got started, and yet the amount
Of corruption that is unearthed is sum
Client TO smell 10 heaven.
The investigation Ia going on, yes,
going on under the direction or d man
from Texas. II is going on under such
direction and with such certainty that
| wonder not that the friends Of the par.
ty In Ohio should den0unce tho Admin
istration Of Cleveland for calling such
man into his departments, and calling
their honest, earnest attention TO the
investigation OF the conduct OF the af.
fairs OF these departments. This work
IN but just commenced, II 10 going on,
and when II is done, when tho people Of
this country are advised Of the fact. we
can then understand how Republican
officials upon salare, Of $5 900 q year,
and who spent $4,000 In living, can
got rich,
PECULIAR REPUBLICAN, METHODS.
But their methods are being exposed
and tho men that have been fattening
upon the Treasury will ultimately feel
the vengeance and the righteous indig
nation OF the people. Applause,1 Eel
low citizens, the only thing we want TO
do IL now after tho close Of this days
work, TO put our shoulders 10 the wheel
aud roll up this fall such q Democratic
majority as will say TO President Cleye
