Among other things Mr.. Myers said:
Il speak to you as a man who has been
using his voice and his pen in behalf OF the
Democratic party for II years. want to
say that I wear no mans collar and never
did. and rather than do 60 would 20 into
the streets with pick and shovel Cheers. J
I am here looking into the faces OF a great
many men, and all ask is that you think
me honest in what l say. / want no office
I would not accept one. The only thing l

NO MILLIONAIRE SENATOR.
"But let me implOre you not to vote for
n millionaire for United States Senator
rLoud cheers Don't do it. Don't vote
for Cal Brice, or John B. Mclean or Thom-
as. The moment you send millionaire
to the United States Senate from OHIO,
lust that moment you beat the Democratic
party for ten years to come. Applause ]
The Senatorshipi is for sale. Ifs for sale, but
there is something that is not for sale, and
that is public sentiment. DON'T sell the
Senatorship this time. Don't let any msn
bay it. Cheers. Don't put it up at
auction. Give it to q poor man. APP
olause If you give the Senatorship 10 a
rich man you will drive away from you
for ten years those who have Just cOntribu-
ted to your magnificent victory. Let the
millionaires alone. They can wreck rail
roads in New York, but they cannot buy
public sentiment. Don't tie to them. As
for myself am drawing a salary from one,
but that dOes no. prevent me from express
ing myself.

Labor party, as you know, cast II 600
vote g TWO years dBOs uaV fOto Aoo WI
to Us. Ia my precinct they bad plural
i,y of 56 two years ago This year MI
Csmpbsll had plurality Of ITO. II was
not the saloon vote that elected Mr.. Camp
bell. Il was thu Labor vote-the vote OF
the thinking, industrious people of the
State. Cheers That vote came to us not
only on the question of home rule, but on
the question of tariff reform and on the
question Of honesty in public Office. be
heve in the honesty of that vote, and 1t
Won insult that honesty you lose the re-
spect OF that vote, and the Democracy Is
doomed for ten years to come. Cheers
and applause. l want to say that If you
send a millionaire to thS United States
Senate will take the stump against the
Democratic party and party ana try to de-
feat it, and am as coed Democrat as
ever lived. Loud cheering Are you
with me? score of voices, Yes ]
Then thank you. Good night" Long
applause
