THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.

to the G0vernar's address You will ex
cuse me for paying 80 much attention Il
him, but ON after bia job, and have Il
pay unusual attention to his remarks.
understand the Governor criticised some
assertion that l made in my Bowling
Green address in regard to the tariff
on glass. That address was made
before 1 had opened the campaign. YOU
will remember that the Republican papers
were very sarcastic in their criticisms ol
me, because 1 had not opened the cam.
paigB. Well, we took our own time for
that, and when We got ready we opened
the campaign at both doors. They are no,
anxious now to know when the campaign
will be opened, but when we will close It.
[Uproarious applause 1t seems already
10 be closed as far as my distinguished
opponent is concerned. l hope however
that l will not be taken sick, for l ex.
pect to keep on making two speeches day
until this contest is decided at the polls.
[Applause.
MI. Campbell then made brief quota
tion from his Bowling Green address, in
which he said there was tariff tax OF $50
a ton on soda ASH. Soda ash was one OF
the constituents of glass, and every glass
factory consumed tons Of it. He made the
point that if the tax was taken off soda
ash, it would be that much of an
advantage to the American working
man. Governor Foraker, in his address
at Bellaire, declared that soda ash was
manufactured in this country, and that
the tariff was the source of this industry.
THE FACTS ABOUT SODA ASH.
Now, continued Mr., Campbell, have
made inquiries concerning this matter
from Beilaire manufacturer, and he tells
me that there is only one soda ash factory
in this country. That factory was con-
trolled and maintained by English capital
Soda ash was manufactured in ii under an
English patent, and the only result of
this protection, which Gov. Foraker laud-
ed so highly, wss to put more money in
the pockets of English millionaires. The
who told me these facts,
told me more. He made a short computa-
tion, and the result WAS to show that the
glass manufacturers Of the country could
pay every man employed IN that soda ash
factory 500 day, and they would still
be million dollars year richer, if
the tax were taken off of soda ash.

ON STATE ISSUES.
Now, said Mr.. Campbell, l will leave
this tariff question for my friends here to
discuss. There are some State matters in
which you and as Ohioans are interested.
Gov. Foraker has been here. He has
looked over your little city and seen how
it is. Bat if the Governors for
tunste enough to be elected, which
I don't think hardly probable,
what assurance have you that Foraker
will not come down on you, as he has on
seventeen other cities in Ohio? You ask
how is this. Well let me tell you about
The little city of Hamilton, where live
It was a quiet, prosperous orderly city. /
was Prosecuting Attorney Of it for four
years, and in ell that time not a single
Indictment for a more serious offeDse
than burglary was returned. But the
people OF that place had committed the one
lnpardopable offeDse in the Governors
ayes. They voted the Democratic ticket,
and so the Governor came down on them.
de had board Of public affairs appointed.
And what did he put in that boards
hands? They assumed control Of the
health department, the public
works ard all the great interests
If our city. These men were appointed
by Gov. Foraker, yet he
ioes not pay dollar OF tax in Hamilton,
md has Do interest in it whatever. The
people Of Hamilton have to submit TO it.
The evil results have been shown on a
lozen occasions The other day a drunken
policeman hOurished his revolver and ter
-orized the town. He was a relative of
\ member OF the Board of Public
Affairs, and of course he
vas excused. What does that board care
ior the people of Hamilton? They are not
elected by the people, they are appoint
ID by Foraker and their sole duty is to
him. And l say now that never was there

A CHALLENGE TO SHERMAN.
Mr.. Campbell then turned TO the elec-
ion boards, and showed how Foraker, |
while pretending to appoint non partisan
boards, had actually appointed Republi-
IAN clerk to every local election board. |
The speaker said he had been charged |
lime and again with denouncing registrs-
ion laws and election laws. This charge |
1ad been made by the Cincinnati CONNER
,iGl Gazette, and to-day the speaker rs he |
had always done, defied Mr.. Halstead, the |
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, or anyone |
slse to show one word that he had ever /
uttered against election laws in Ohio or /
gainst the election boards Of Ohio, save |
md except the boards IS they are appoint
d by Governor F Jrsker. Nor is this all, |
,ome Republican speakers had made the |
'ame charge. JDO. Sherman was one Of them |
md tonight he extended the same cbal
enge to John Sherman that he extended
20 Murat Hslstead when he said that be
mad the speakers signature to a document
that would dishonOr him. He now chsl
euged John Sherman TO produce one word
which he had uttered to the effect that he
was spposed to the election laws Of Ohio,
,r any we'll regulated election law, and if
Sherman could do 30 be would retire from
he Democratic ticket.
AN UEPEPUBLICAE LAW.
"But I have said" he continued, land
always will say, that l am opposed to
hat law, which makes it possible for any
nan who is a candidate for Office to con-
irol the election machinery of II Of the
creates. cities of the State. ! am q can

MR oUTHwAITE's ADDRESS.
The close Of Mr.. Campbell's address was
the signal for another outbreak OF ap-
plsuse, which carried sll before it. The
speaker was seized and enthusiastically
