ID. Taylor Calls the Roll of
Standardization,


SPRINGFIELD, o., June 1.-THE Re-
publican State Convention met in the
new wigwam here at 10 o'elock this
morning and was called to order by
JOS X. O'Neill, chairman Of the State
committee. There was full attendance
of delegates and 1900 people were
packed in the wigwam. Hon. j. d.
Taylor was elected temporary chairman
and made an address of which the fol-
lowing are the chief points:
ADDRESS OF HON. ]. D. TAYLOR.
Referring to the outcome of the last
presidential election, Mr.. Taylor began
his address by saying: "SiDce you last
met in convention the most anomalous
event in history has transpired in our
country. By combination of crimes,
accidents and blunders this govern
ment, with all its great interests, has
passed out OF the control of the party
that saved it from treason and disunity
into the hands of the party which,
through its leader, sought for four long
and bloody years 10 tear it from its
proud place among the nations Of the
earth and hurl its discovered fragments
into the vortex Of anarchy and dissolu.
ton. This crime of crimes, con-
doned by tho ever magnani-
nifty of .the Republican party
unatoned for and unrepented OF by its
chief participants rears its head again
in the government at Washington. The
soldiers of this Union, brave defenders
o. their country's honor, have suffered
the humiliation Of seeing the men they
fptTrrhf N, tal nI al IL
waited to the high places OF the nation
and entrusted with the public welfare.
This stigma must be wiped out, and
here the work must begin to be COM
pleted in 1885,"
The success Of the Democratic party
last tall, the speaker said was but half
success, and that this year every nerve
Of the administration would be strained
10 win the victories in Ohio, New York
aud Virginia, needed to rat
ify its doubtful title to the
presidency. The speaker had no criu-
cisms to make on President Cleveland,
who he believed to be infinitely better
than tho party leaders behind him. He
spoke of Jefferson DAVIS az the arch
traitor, and pointed to the fact that his
eulogist, the man who was the trusted
and confidential agent of the Confed-
eracy abroad during its esistence, was,
to-day, at the head Of that department.
which controls all the pension interests
OF Union soldiers, and was honored
with seat in the presidents Cabinet.
Speaking of the conflict of labor Mr..
Taylor said: "Both labor and capital
are being driven into bankruptcy and
ruin under Democratic rule. Ia the
South laboring classeS have been kept
in condition of ignorance and vassa-
lage, equal to If not worse than the pau
per labor OF Europe" Az remedy he
said: "We protect ourselves against
foreign competition by a protective
tariff, hut the only way to protect our
people against a sectional competition is
t. elevate the condition Of the working
man in every part ofcountry alike"
Referring TO tine Coal Oil Legislature
the speaker said that when the Demo-
cratic party came into aver, the pub
lie institutions Of the State we're in
prosperous condition and there was in
the treasury surplus of more than
100000 Tie Ohio penitentiary under
the careful business management of
The Republican party had a surplus OF
S53,OO0 over expenditures, but in eight
months after the Democratic party
came into power he penitentiary was
~ uop1 p'oiVVV auu -UV VI Iue cOuFlCts
Idle. The corruption and extraV-
egsnce of this Legislature had
brought the State ON the verge
bankruptcy and had increased the
bonded Indebtedness Of the State over
SlO,OOO,OOO. The coming campaign would
not only determine the recuperatiye
powers of the Republican party, but
show whether tho next United States
senator from Ohio shall be Republican
or Democratic and probably determine
whether the next House of Representa-
iiyes will be Democratic or Republican.
In conclusion the speaker said: ave
VIII carry Ohio this year, and we will
carry the country In 1883, as certainly as
the stars are in the armament above, IL
Republicans do their duty. Even now
the reyerberations Of victory are rolling
in from the prairies OF Illinois, where
that grand old hero, John A. Logan, has
taken tho long contested fort. Take that
struggle a. your inspiration and you
achieve victory in October that will
shake the continent from noun
tain TO sea. Ohio Is and must
ever DO Republican State.n
"The State that so proudly upheld the
banner of Jas. G.. Blaine in 1854, the
resting place of Garfield, the home of
sherman and Sheridan, and Hayes, the
birthplace of that hero of heroes, Ulys-
SEES :. Grant, who is to-day watching us
from his sick room in the metropolis of
the nation, the State that gave TO this
country $1,000 brave and true soldiers
must ever be Republican State"
lie was frequently applauded.
Inc various com mlttees were ap-
pointed by the temporary chairman
ara the convention took recess.
