ness This s the way TO clinch this
story and drive Mr.. Campbell off of the
ticket and end the campaign. Foraker's
trusty spy, who hid in the penitentiary
water closet, while conviet, told his
skin cane and tally-sheet story, was at
Dayton watching and praying for some
thing to turn up to save Foraker. DID
he hear and see any thing of this kind?
If so, out with the facts and end the ag-
ony of the contest. But if this baseless
policy of partisan falsehood falls in
ruins, the short-sighted Gbelers have
strengthened the massive and immova-
BILE foundations of honesty and truth,
upon which Campbell stands, and rem
dered his election more certain. The
honest people of all parties in Ohio Will
not brook for an instant this shameful
attempt to stain the good name and the
spotless reputation of an upright citizen
like James E. Campbell. The Times

General Grosvenor's Splendid En-
dorsement of Hon. James z. Camps
bell. !
In his speech at Xenia last Saturday
General Grosvenor paid the followinn
laudatory tribute to the Democratic
standard bearer, Hon. James E. Camp
bell:
ST shall not be found criticising the
able and gallant gentleman the Demo-
cratic party has seen fit to nominate, at
least, so far as his personal character
and relations are concerned. That he
is gentleman of high character, pure,
patriotism and high order Of intelhl
gence, answering honesty and fidelity,
Is to be presumed because of his nomin-
alton.
''He was patriotic in war, he has been
able and consistent in peace, and is a.
true representative of his party in Ohio
better in some respects, worse in.
| none-and my complaint against him Isl
not of personal character, but is solely
and simply because he is Democrat.
Il may as we'll make a few remarks
about our friend Campbell. You know
him over here in Xenia. He was your
representative in Congress at one time,
and he did not make a bad record.
in xyI,i thn
| soldier was interested he voted as 1
voted, and claim to have a pretty good
| standing as a friend to the soldiers Of
the war. Side by side with me he
voted for the dependent pension bilis
side by side with me voted for all the
measures of relief for the soldiers which
the Republicans forced upon them, and
hand in hand with me he voted to
pass the bill over the veto of Mr.. Cleve-
land. But protest that the Democratic
| party has shown itself capable of I'm
provement, and exhibited the possibility
of its ability to appreciate patriotism,
honor and virtue by nominating its cam
| didate for Governor, and in the discus
| sion in which participate during the
campaign 1 shall treat Mr.. Campbell aa
a gentleman, as 1 know him to be; shaly
| criticise his attitude in politics, and
shall scorn to attack his personal char
acter or history"
General Grosvenor also lauded Gov
ernor Fosters administration, but had
very little commendation for Foraker
ism. 1t is reported that Foraker is
displeased at the Generals speech, and
that he said to friend that Grosvenor's
speech might easily have been taken
for Campbell speech instead Of one
advocating the election of the Republic
can ticket"
