"MR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE Cor.
vENTIoN: thank you heartily for this mark OF
your esteem and for the Kindness which you nave
shown me- and assure you that no act of mine viii
you 10 regret your having thus supported
me. The coming campaign embodies more than
mere hght for position, personal aggrandtzement or
political preferment; 1t embodles fight for incl
pie and right hope snd believe that the voters OF
Ohio win elect Jas. Z. Campbell for governor, and
thereby merit the confidence and respect Of every In
teigent and patriotic citizen by stamping the seal
sonabe system Of delegatng the power to the chief
executive to say who shall govern and control the
affairs Of our municipal corporations. We believe
in home rule, in local self-goyernment and In the
sovereignty OF the peose. We believe that the COM
bned judgment Of the people Of any intelligent com
munity as to the affairs OF their community Is iar
better than the Judgment Of any one man.
1--WE wish in this campaign, by eleoting the entiie
Democratic ticket, to indellibly mark Ohio's con-
demnation upon the inquitous, rotten and nexcusa-
BILE system OF legalzed robbery known as protective
tariff We advocate tariff that will tighten the bur
dens Of the poor and adjusted as to yield sutcl'
ent revenue to defray the expenses of the govern
ment economically and Justly administered. we
believe In a system of tariff that places the burden
OF taxation upon those who can best afford to pay
It. Now as to myself, pledge myself to vote and
work for the enactment of just and wholesome laws
that will benefit the Of the people and not for
the enactment of laws that intended for the es
pecia benefit Of greedy, aggressive and wealthy COT
perations. pledge myself to advocate the prlncl
pies Of true DemOcracy-principles that were pro-
NOTED by Thomas jefferson, executed by AnoreW
jackson and advocated and reiterated by the great
es and grandest Of their successors-Grover CleVe
land, pledge myself to honest government to Jusl
recognition of the rights Of the people and ano
patient consideration of the claims and grievances
ofthe laboring classes. lido not wish to continue
my remarks, but with many thanks for your KIND
ness will conclude that the business OF theconVen
tion nay proceed"
