Campbell sociables are still the popular fad in
politics. The Butler mascot to-day addressed
the largest Democratic convention ever held
in Henry county. When Mr.. Campbell ar
rived here this morning he was met at the
depot by about 800 citizens and the Napoleon
Coronet Band. Prominent on the Commit
tee on Reception were Judge Haag, Prose-
cutting Attorney Ragan, Hon. H. @. Grosch-
ner, DR.. A. H. Tyler and F. NJ. Rummel, of
Holgate. The Democratic standard-bearer
held a levee at the Miller House and was
called upon by large number of the
substantial farmers of the county, who ex-
pressed their confidence in his election.
The convention, which was large and en-
thusiastic, was the first delegate convention
held in Henry county for seven years. For
that length of time nominations have been
made by the popular vote system, conse-
Quently there was great turn out to-day,
both on account of the old system and to give
cordial reception to
THE MAN OF DESTINY
From Southern Ohio The Court House and
the Court room, in which the convention was
held, are alike beautiful. Behind the Judges
bench is a finely executed picture of Justice,
with her uplifted scales melting out equal and
exact Justice to all. On the frescoed ceilings
are portraits of George and Martha Washing
ton.
In this temple of justice. under these favor
able circumstances, the convention was held.
Hon. Dennis ID. Donnovan, who has made a
capable and creditable Representative in the
Legislature for the last two years, was re-
nominated by reclamation. He made
splendid speech in accepting it, and sounded
the slogan for Campbell, home rule and tariff
reform.
There was a great fight for places on the
ticket, nomination being thought
EQUIVALENT TO AN ELEoT1oN
This year. The ticket nominated is consid-
cred to be exceptionally strong. Itis AZ fol-
lows: Representative, Hon: d. d; Donovan;
W. Hanna; Commissioner, VIM. N. Zierolf;
Infirmary Director, Peter Schall: Coroner,
Conrod Bitzer; County Surveyor. G. N.
Schwab.
It was now O'Clock in the afternoon. The
business of the convention was finished, and
the Gubernatorial candidate was sent for.
The band played 1.-THE Campbells are Com
ing" and the candidate for Governor mount
ed the Judges bench, and took place by
the side of the presiding officer of the con-
vention. Chairman L. L. Orwig, in introduc.
ing Mr.. Campbell, said that he hoped, and in
fact knew, he was presenting the next Cover
nor of Ohio. Mr.. Campbell congratulated
the Democracy of Henry on the prospect of
1890 majority this fall. He said that, as
they had been laboring from 10 a. m. to 4 p.
m. to nominate ticket, he thought they
could guarantee such majority if they but
showed the same pugnacity and pertinacity
in the election. He admonished the conven-
ton that this was the great preliminary battle
before the Presidential contest in 1892. he
went on to say it seemed trihe previous to
begin to
FIGHT FOR AN ELECTION
That does not occur for three years, but it
was nevertheless fact that the Ohio cleo
ton of this year would be considered the first
gun of '92, and Democratic victory would
encourage the party in every State in the
Union.
As to the change in the administration in
this State, he said there were never better
reasons in the State of Ohio than that the
present officers be turned out and Democrats
substituted in their places. He then proceeded
to talk upon the tariff, saying that it was the
great National issue upon which this battle
was to be fought, it was the issue that Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland had, fathered, and
which the Democratic National House of
Representatives had taken and given to the
people as the expression sof the Democracy
of the United States on that subject, the
measure known as the Mills bill. He dis
cussed some of the most prominent features
of the bill, and illustrated clearly that it was
a measure in favor of the farmer, the artisan
and the laborer. He clearly and forcibly
discussed the evils of the surplus on the &C.
cepted Democratic doctrine that it is ruinous
to the interests of the country for such enor-
nous sums of money to be levied as tax
taken from the pockets Of the people and
lockedup in the Treasury vaults.
He said that during the last of the Demo-
cratic year of 1888 the public expenditures
were 800, ,OO0, 900; during the last eight monts,
under the Republican administration of
1889, the expenses ran up to $108, COG, 600. Sec
retary of the Treasury Window tried to ex-
plain.
THIS AWFUL SHOWING.
But the explanation did rot explain. 1t was
so belonging and befuddling that the New
York Tribune boldly declared it was not a
satisfactory explanation. Instead of facts
Mr.. Window attempted to unload the burden
on corporal Tanner.
He proceeded to say that if the Republi-
cans continued at the gait they were at pres
ent gong there would be no reduction by any
one unless it is done by the Democrats, be-
cause the surplus will soon be all gone. as in
the case of the township officer he once
knew, when he was accounting for money re-
ceived, it would be all paid in and all paid
out. The Republicans proposed to take the
tax off tobacco and whisky, but as they were
fixing things at present they could not re-
duce on any thing, and that pleasant duty
would be left to the Democrats on returning
to power.
The Republicans stood squarely on the
issue of protection, with Incidental revenue.
He gave them the credit for standing square,
ly on that. He then proceeded to show
what the Democrats did in the Mills bill. in
giving
FREE LUMBER, FREE SALT AND WOOL.
All these things were manifestly in the in
terest of the poorer classes, as it made the
necessities Of life cheaper. This bill was in
the interest of the masses. This Dempcratic
bill was sent to the Republican Senate. which
turned about and increased the tariff on the
articles named. f
