James E. Campbell and the other orators.
The Democratic candidate was in his happiest
frame of mind, and, barring slight hoarseness
in perfect form. Thirty-f hundred tariff re-
formers and home-rulers Of both sexes crowded
the auditorium and the galleries, and that m ore
i were not present was because they could not
possibly get into the building. They were
packed in the hall like leaden pellets in pouch
and thousands were turned away unable to gain
admission The general expression was: why
wasn't Music Hall engaged-why didn't we
have place big enough for meeting?"
President James, of the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club, of Cincinnati, was President of the
meeting, and introduced the Democratic candi-
date:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: This is certainly

feel scarcely able to do justice to you and my
self, because some nights ago I attempted to
talk to the entire population Of the Miami VAL
ley [laughter] who had gathered in that old
Democratic town of Hamilton that Bro. Jordan
Just referred to, and of course I sprained my
voice.
Before had recovered from that we opened
the campaign at Waverly and talked to some
thing more than the entire population of the
Scioto Valley. More laughter.1 And the con-
sequence Is that whom I came here to the city
of Cincinnati and meet this vast-this magnih
cent-it ought to be for any man an inspiring
audience-I feel that ! am scarcely In condition
to do Justice to this great ovation. IA voice:
You are right"

verify: that is a misnomer.
THE CAMPAIGN OPENED ITSELF,
Tt campaign that did not wait to be opened,
for since the thousands Of Democrats who as
sembled at Dayton went back to their re-
spective localities the doors Of this campaign
have been as wide open as they could be.
This Is the year when there Is something in
the air-some spirit abroad, something moving
the people that we do not have every year, and
it is not necessary to go out in the back woods
and shake the bushes for Democrats. Laughter,
cheers and applause]
And not only is the Democratic party in its
entirety alive, but there is another one-a vast
number of Republicans who believe in the time
honored doctrine of Washington and Jefferson
that two terms are enough in the greatest
ecuttve ofhce-and they are coming along with
our procession, too.
AS sat here on the stage, gazing around, admir-
ing the ladies, of course, [laughterl, sizing up,
as it were, the boys and taking in the situation
generally my eye fell on. the portrait, hanging
over the upper gallery there indicating the por-
trait of Washington and it occurred to me
that there was something in the farewell ad-
dress Of that great man to his countrymen
that had come trickling down to US and instili-
ed into the people of this country radical
ANTI-THIRD TERM SENTIMENT.
So great and SO universal is the feeling as
have found it traversing all parts Of this State
that it occurred to me the pie Of Ohio at
least must have had some additional education
upon this subject and naturally
turned to the press, and remembering
that years ago Halstead-a
neighbor of yours-who had not then become a
victim of the Senatorial bee laughter and ap-
plausel, was an excellent writer, and a manipu-
lator Of the Kings English, procured friend
of mine who had the leisure--for was out in
the back settlements to see how things looked

about the same thing [laughter]
known as the Cincinnati Commercial-he ex-
amined the files of that paper for the single
month Of May, 1880, and furnished me with
about three times that much indicating a
bunch of papers he had in his handl of manu-
script editorials advocating the idea of anti
third term. Almost all the editorials
I left the largest part of the manuscript
at home-I do not intend to infct upon you |
now. There is a statute that prohibits cruel |
and unnecessary punishment, but there are |
few sentiments SO appropriate to this day and |
generation, SO filed with truth in such strong |
contrast to what read daily in the hypothena
ted Commercial Gazette, that will trespass |
upon you to call to your attention few Of the |
MOST SPARKLING OF THESE GEMS
I said the month of May, but will let all the |
rhetoric slop and will begin at the back |
end, and I find one extract on the 1st day of |
June. 1t seems to have been left over on the |
last day of May. [Laughter.1 1.-THE time to |
nip third termism is when it is in the bud" |
[More laughter] ut is in the bud now he |
says. Renewed laughter.] On the 18th of |
May: 1--WE have not heard of a third-termer

'The main thing to do this summer" and it is |
the same every summer (laughterl, 'is to rid
the country forever Of the third-term dangers"
Why. can almost forgive the Commercial
Gazette for some very recent lies when read
that magnificent truth. [Cheers and applause
Now will slip few pages. [Laughter.l On
