THE CAMPAIGN
Ia Bellaire Opened by Judge Foraker =
Something About What He Said.

ABOUT "uat he Sdlu'
Judge J. b. Foraker Republi an nomi,
nee for Governor of Ohio, spoke in the Nj
SARA rink at Bellsre last night to good
crowd. A committee of Republicans met
/ HS4. Foraker at the evening tram on hIs ar
rival from Bsrnesyille and escorted him to
the Windsor House, where be took supper.
After the evening meal the Jud"e vas
Griven to the rink. whore brass band en-
liyeDei matters. Space torbids an extended
review Of Mr.. Foraker speech, but few
points are given below;
A review Of the present and past OF both
political parties was made as clear as posi-
be TO the crowd. The Democratic party
came in for the usual amount Of slugging.
1t is bad collection of individuals; was in
favor OF secession and slavery and opposed
personal liberty before the war.
The South wss shown to have been a
bad element in politics before the war and
sccording to the speaker had kept free
ade for its own individual purpose.
When Abraham Lincoln was elected
President, it was because the great mass Of
I, people wanted a change; they were get
tpg tired Of the Democrats, who had ruled
Win an iron hand Tor fifty years. The Re.
Tlblican party stepped down and out for no
uch reasons. Instead OF its principles and
rolitics being condemned, they are admired
the liberal thinkers Of both parties
Our Democratic friends have been IN
ice something over six months. They
tave examined the. books and found them
square and millions left in the treasury. 1t
was quite different when the Republicans
took hold of the government in 1861.
Because the Republicans are out
or power there is nothing to dis
courage the faith Of any Republican,
for surely party that has made such rec
crd has right TO appeal confdentia!!y to
tie people for their su.irsges
1t is without doubt desirable that our civil
service should be improved in somePartiS
ulars; but it is nevertheless true that, not
outstanding whatever defect there may be
in tie methods governing appointments to
the civil service, your civil service has never
,he!ess been under Republican sdministra-
tons the best that any country has ever been
tlssssd with in the hist Try Of the world 20
far as both efficiency AID fidelity are con.
cerned.
The South is sill running at large, ac-
cordlrg to the speaker. The darkies in
Georgia a,c kept from voting by d system
that ia outrageous, aud Blaine vas cheated
cut Of forty electoral vo:eS By tee bad
White men Of the Southern regions
The Democrat. Fls form erected to car
~ tbs State Of OAio with is very a.niy ac-
cordiDg TO he following:
In one part il tells the people that the
business Of the country IS getting better.
Tie speaker couldn't See it. Poor John
Roach's failure vas rln in as an instance OF
the wsy the country was going to the dogs:
Although times were dull the speaker had
10 objection to them getting better de
vas willing they should, even If the Demo
Gratis we're IN poEer.
The wool was made topic and the ideas
Of the Democra's pricked in as advantage
Gus q manner as possible. President CleTe-
land is doing the business men Of the co1n-
try great injustice by not out llnIaF hi'
policy to them The advent of a Demo-
cratic Congress with free trade speaker
was the inception Of depression in this coIn-
try.
The Republican party when In insugu-
rated its protection policy said that it soald
Be as important to the farmer ss the manu-
'sciure-, or Any other class Of people.
The action of Mullen, Of Cincinnati, in
locking up the negroes on election day was
loudly denounced, snd Mr.. Hosdly was a
bad man for seeking tie pardon of 4zlleu,
The reasons that the Democrats sho1l3
be turned out Of power in Ohio are very
obvious The Coal Oil Lsgislsture vas not
eff unhs-ned b. words from Mr.. Foraker.
1t was verv pt for the party TO displsce
Geo. n Pendleton for Henry B Payne.
The exrravagsnce Of the party came under
the head Of the talk of Ohio. and the
fpesker showed that the monkeying going
on By the bad Democrats was taking the
State to the depths. Ths hq0sr question
Vas also talked about and some tears Eere
