bs until the West Virginisn drove the
Ohioan out Of the markell Pre-
cisely SIS Ohio would thus be
situated in regard 10 West Virginia, go
was America situated in regard to the Eu-
ropean nations. In Euglsnd the manu-
fscturers had cheaper labor, they made
cheaper products, and just as the Ohiosn
would be driven out Of the market, so
would the American be driven out of the
market. But America does not propose to
be driven out of the market. There is on
ly one recoune then, and that was to
protective tariff that make good the differ
ence the wages Of that country. That
wss all the Republican party asked. 1t
was enough, but rather than not have
enough, il would be better TO have little
more, and that was what the Republican
party proposed to give the people.
AN APPEAL FOR THE TICKET.
Let me say then in conclusion on this
subject. The speaker say that right re-
mains with the Republican party IN its
advocacy Of the protective tariff; and be.
ing right il is the duty of every RepublI-
can to rally around the ticket this fall and
endorse every man on it. Endorse not
only the Governor but every candidate.
In this district, you have a senator to
elect. Mr. Nichols is your candidate. A
bright, honest. capable man. He deserves
to be elected, aud he will be elected. You
have representative TO elect. Your can
didate is here. / know him we'll. and
know him to be fauhfol servant Elect
him, and do your utmost to send Republi-
can to the United Senate. There may he
times when Republican can az
ford to nurse enmities aud jealousiee, but
never saw such time. This is certain
ly not one OF them. This is not an Of
year The most important issues Of the
State are involved. The Legislature that
is to be elected this year will re-district
the State. To-day We have sixteen rep
resentatives in Congress and our enemies
have five. That is the way il ought to be
kept, and TO keep il SO you must do your
duty ct your polls, and above all things do
your fall duty by the legislative ticket Of
your district and county.
HIS FINANCIAL POLICY.
Gov. Foraker continued, saying that be
wanted to say a few words about State AZ
fairs. When Gov. Hosdley csme into
Office, bis Republican predecessor turned
ever 1900, 600 of surplus 10 him as sort OF
a nest egg. When the speaker came into
Office, he found not a surplus, but def
cheney. and GOO, healthy deficiency, at
that, amounting to over 81 400, 900. The
peaker said he began TO look around He
f,unA th - all tho l,,oa n,fo
had been sold. He fund that advance
drafts bad been drawn ON the county
tressurers, and there still remained over
5000 600 of unpaid appropriations To-
night, be claimed that the deficiency hid |
been 30 far repaired, that instead Of being
behind at he end of the present fscal |
year, the State of Ohio would have q
surplus in the treasury. Besides |
this, the public debt OF the Safe bad been
reduced ever 81, 400, 600. Over 500 600
had been expended on the Toledo Insane
Asylum, and over coo Of the unfortunate
insane of Ohio were kept and cared for by
It. Not only that, bat Soldiers snd
Sailors Home had been established. They
bad taken the veterans out Of the poor
houses. They had fed and clothed them,
and 10 day five hundred of them were
cared for in that beautiful home.
MAYBE NOT, BUT WE DOUBT IT.
This had been done at an expense of bali
a million, but il was paid for, and so long |
as he was Governor an old soldier would |
not remain in a poor house in Ohio. In
addition TO this the S ate debt had been
refunded, and by this refunding the an
nusl interest charges of the State had been
reduced rom S2l3, 900 to SS3, ,00O
When the Democratic party came into
power in OHIO is found vel regulated
license law. II repealed that law and the
ssoons hourishei Unfortunately at every
crOss.Tosd. A Republican administration
had enacted similar law, and saloons
we're now h xsd $3.50 each, and rendered
an income Of 81 500. coo into the treasures
Of the coun;ies and S ate. A law had b. en-
passed taxing corporations one dollar for |
every thousand dollars Of capital in their |
charters. These were some OF the means
by which the credit Of Ohio had been
raised, and he believed tho people Of Ohio
would endorse tham at the polls.
There Was one more thing that he de-
sired to refer to, be said, and that was the
election law of the State. That law had |
heeo passed by Republicans in order 10 |
secure honest elections. The speaker
quoted Gov. Hosdley TO show that there
mad been fraud in Cincinnati elections,
and said no honest man criticised the reg.
istrstion laws and election boards. DIS.
bousst men aud trickttsrs naturally OBJ
i-cted TO them. Ia this part Of the Gov |
ernors address, the
VIALe OF HIS WRATH
we.s unsealed and flowed indiscriminstely |
for while. The rebel Democracy" was
rolled under his tongue spst at the audi
ence, slaughtered and slaughtered again. |
The air WA full OF blood and blows, and |
CORY eorpses we're mere playthiDgs. An
address in which the bloody shirt played |
a more conspicuous part has not been de- |
livered in this vicinity for a long time. In |
the food Of general defamation Grover
Cleveland was not forgotten, aud the rebel |
fiags which somebody prevented him from
obtaining" were shaken at the audience
repeatedly. Tie spsaker was not above
telling story about President Cleveland,
which he must have known to be false al
the time. II was told in order to raise |
laugh, and Of course it was successful.
After ringing the changes on eoosiderablr
matter Of this kind, the Governor closed |
his address with an appeal to all Republi
cans to do their duty. Mr.. George W.
Topp and the gravel contract received q
cold snub.
