Mr.. Campbell then alluded to Governor
Foraker's Amelia speech, in which he mis-
quoted some things Mr.. Campbell had said,
as he had misquoted every thing he had at
tempted to quote since the opening of the
Referring to Governor Foraker's figures on
that occasion, showing the reduction of taxes
by the Republicans, he said that the Cover
nor had failed to state that $117 ,000, 900 of
this reduction was on the manufacturer in
ternal revenue taxes, and $72, ,000, 900 of that
vast sum vas taken of the income tax of rich
men. BE asked how many men of Henry
county paid an income tax, and how many
men were benefited by wiping out the manu-
facturers' internal revenue tax. That word
protection, he said, had seemed to Iave
great charm for some Republicans. They
rolled it under their tongues like a delicious
morsel. Governor Foraker was
ONE OF THIS KIND,
And talked about the cheap price of starch to
the people down at Amelia. He had no
doubt, however, that when the people of
Clermont county went home they thought
the low price of corn, out of which the starch
is made, was at the bottom of it, and not the
Republican party.
Mr.. Campbell then said he had intended to
talk some on the State issues, but on account
of the lateness of the hour would not do it.
He alluded to Governor Foraker's Election
Boards and the cry of the Governor and the
Republican press that he (the speaker) was
against the election laws. This was not a
fact. Governor Foraker, he said, had theap-
pointment of seventeen boards in Ohio He
not only had the appointment of the Boards
themselves, but of the clerks of these Boards.
he claimed the Boards were not partisan,
yet out of these seventeen clerks Governor
Foraker appointed for the seventeen Boards
of Ohio there were seventeen Republicans.
These clerks were the machine; they were
the engines, the steam, the motive power of
these Boards. They were the men who
showed their fine Italian hand, and the en-
tire seventeen were Republicans. So much
for his
MUCH vAUNTED NoNPARTIsANsHIP.
Said Mr.. Campbell in conclusions:
II am not opposed to election laws, but l
am not In favor of having the Governor ap-
point the Boards. If the people are fit to
elect the Governor they are fit to be trusted
in the selections of other servants. believe
In every man voting his honest sentiments
In an honest way and having the vote hon
estly counted. don't care whether it is by
the Australian or any other system: but
don't want to give the Governor of Ohio this
extraordinary and arbitrary power, and am
Just as much opposed to the next Governor
having it as am to the present Governor
having it."
BOUNDING BILL HILL.
After Mr.. Campbell retired Ex-Congress-
man w. d. Hill, of Defiance, known as
Bounding Bill" was introduced and made
rattling speech.
He said Governor Foraker had impugned
Campbells g Democracy; He (Hill) had served
with him in Congress, and thought he was as
good judge of the article as lany man in
Ohio, aud he pronounced Campbell's Democ-
racy simon pure and without flaw. He con
sidered his word on the matter worth more
than the oaths of all the Republicans in Ohio.
He then described the Scottish lass who, in
the midst OF cannonade and the roar of mus
kerry, heard her favorite native tune of the
heather and, looking up, cried to the fight
ing heroes of her race: "Dinna ye hear the
slogan? The Campbells are Coming" "Yes,"
said Bill Hills "CampbelIs are coming, and
they are coming mighty strong. They are
coming as relief; coming just in time to
save the people from third termism, from ex-
travagance and Bossism. They are coming
from every direction. They spring up from
the mountain pass and from behind every
rock and tree, and the miserable
sepoys of third termism will be put to in
glorious flight. Rise, men of Henryl Din
ma ye hear the slogan? The CampbeIls are
coming" FABIus.
