And the truth now that makes some men

ers in other statesl
Why does not Judge Thurman pronounce,
in that high and eloquent voice of his,
against Governor Hill, Of New York;
[Cheersl Governor Hill, Of New York, is
now serving his third term Of three years
each. He was elected to fill the vacancy Of
governor, being lieutenant governor, caused
by the election Of Mr.. Cleveland to the presi-
dency, and then he was elected for three
years more and again he was elected for
another three years, and Governor Hill has
more power in one day in the state Of New
York than Governor Foraker has In whole
term Of two years. More applause.l Just
Governor Hill has a veto power; he has
the power of appointment; he has super
visory power that is given to no other gov
ernor. He could be tyrant, and would
good deal rather, and SO would you, trust
Governor Foraker in his place, with all his
great powers, than to trust Hill, who is some

tinued applause.l I don't know. There is
another case here. Somebody furnished me
with a list of governors that have held and
are now holding third terms as governors.
recognize on the face of this
list another favorite Democrat. Gov
ernor McEnery Of Louisiana has
served third or a fourth term. He was
never elected by the people of Louisiana.
tCheers.l Everybody knows that. More
cheers.l He is there by fraud, by crime,
by wrong, by ballot-box stuffing, by murder
and by violence [great cheering1 Of every de-
gree. And yet he is Democrat and
third or fourth termer, and whoever said q
word about Governor McEneryl Here have

States, some Democrats and some Repub-

of governor Of their state and nobody thought
that the state was in danger. Some of the
greatest and ablest men ever produced In
this country have held this position long
time, and yet Governor Foraker, because he
was unanimously nominated by the Repub-
lican party as governor for third term,
is to be held up as a man who has be-

party, born and bred to go through
all the storms and scenes of political war
fare, is not to be disturbed with idle ghosts

Let us go to something else.
said in a recent speech that Mr.. Camp
bell had first taken ground against all cleo
tion boards, and afterwards when he found
that the Democratic party in Cincinnati had
come to the conclusion that they must pre-
serve these non-partisan boards there, then he
shifted his ground and complained only of
the mode and manner of the election of those
boards When he found that there was no
complaint to be made against these boards,
then he turned around and complained
not only tkat they were appointed by Gov
ernor Foraker, but that the clerks were ap-
pointed by Foraker. Mr.. Campbell says
stated the first proposition too strong; that he
never was opposed to the election boards,
and went to work and got a whole lot Of
papers here, which do not intend to read to
you, or dwell upon, but simply say that I
must confess that while will not dispute
Mr. Campbell when he says a thing is so
about himself, but am disposed
to just acquiesce and say no more
about it, but / must confess that
when read these papers am not satisfied
with his denial I notice that in these papers
hold in my hand extracts from The Cincin-
natl Enquirer and from other Democratic
papers that Mr.. Campbell did oppose regis
tration, which Is the vital element Of the
election law. [Applause.l He complained
that he had to 60 to these non-partisan
boards to be registered, and thought it was a
great hardship that man SO well known
and so big in the world as he should have to
60 and have himself registered (great ap-
plause.]
What did he say that for il he was not op-
posed to these registration laws2 Then
found that he was constantly complaining
about everything in the law; various defects
which he attempted3to point out but he was
driven gradually from one position to an
other and now he has no leg to stand upon
except upon the seventeen clerks which the
governor is directed to appoint, and think
they will perform their duty well enough on
the 5th day Of November next. [Long con-
tinued cheering.]
