party to warrant such an action. When this
Republican legislature is elected, if the Re-
publicans in it shall think that would be
good representative man; that in their good
me senator of the United States should
regard it as great honor, and attempt to
perform the duties of the Office to the best of
my ability. But the object to be aimed at,
however, and which cannot be too clearly
and strongly stated. is not an individual tri-
umph. but TO make sure that Ohio shall be
hereafter represented in the senate of the
United States by two Republicans. That is
an object worthy of any Republicans ambi-
ton. No personal. ambition should be per

straight Republican fight, and to make the
fight on the ground of sustaining the national
administration of President Harrison and the
state administration of Gov. Foraker. The
more have travelled abroad, and the more |
have become acquainted with the people and
affairs OF other nations, the higher has been
our country. where. however diverse may be
the fortunes of the people, their opportuni-
ties are far greater than in any foreign coun
TRY. Speaking for myself, while understands
ing that we have reason to be sorry for the
Germans. the French or the English who oc-
cupy some of the most favored portions of
the globe and have attained splendid civil
ization, must say thatI have an unfeigned
preference both for the climate and the diet
of the United States of America.
Mr.. Halstead's address was listened
to with interest, and quite frequently
applauded. W. H. Parham, on behalf
of the colOred people of Hamilton
county and of Ohio, made brief ad:
dress, telling why the colored people
followed with prayers the ship that car
ried him abroad and welcomed his re-
stored return. 1t was, he said, because
the colored people were not guilty of in
been the colored mans friend. Mr.. Par
ham is colored man, teacher in
the public schools of Cincinnati.
NJ. A. Jacoby, of the Freie Presse, fol-
lowed with welcoming speech on be-
half of the press. 1t was after 10 o'clock
when Gov. Foraker arose to make his
address. The governor said his duty
was an unnecessary one. He was to
welcome Mr.. Halstead on behalf of the
Republicans of Ohio, but Mr.. Halstead
knew he was welcome long before this
time. He went on to speak of the eX-
tent and earnestneSS of this demOnStra-
ton, such as was seldom accorded to
any one not great statesman or a sol
der: yet On his return he asked: 'What
have done to merit a reception" The
governor said Mr.. Halstead was the
ONLY REPUBLICAN IN OHIO
who would ask the question. He went
on to tell why Mr.. Halstead was wei
come, citing as reasons the high regard
the people had for his courage and hon
eSty. for the purity and simplicity of
his lite, for his intelligent patriotism,
and for his complete and entire Repub-
licanism. 1t was fortunate that his re-
turn restored to health is at this time,
when an important election is APP
preaching. 1t was an election
when Mr.. Holstead's sturdy service
was needed to assist in blOtting out of
the most foul faint upon the legislative
action of Ohio, the corrupt election of
henry B. Payne to the senate. Mr..
Halstead'S service. said he. can be
counted upon to assist in making the
next legislature republican. Drifting
into political matters. the governor
the election law of Ohio in the
past four years. and of the
police force - both of which
he claimed as results of Republican leg
islation. In conclusion he touched
upon the recent manifestations of law
lessness on the part of certain people
and repeated his assertion made in his
recent letter to Mayor Mosby that ODE
dieuce to law is the first duty OF citizen
ship. Referring to the warning that in
taking this ground he would offend the
German voter, he said he had
no fear of that. He knew the
German voter, and the German char
acter; he was himself of German blood,
and he served through the war with
German soldiers. He knew the German
citizen to be true and patriotic and a
lover of justice. Throughout the ad
dress the assembly gave liberal ap-
plauSe, which was especially marked in
his eulogy of Mr.. Halstead and in his
declaration in favor of the support of
law.
