the following DaDy, Whlcn was uresSc"
up in the Times-Star and presented to
waiting world:
"Mr. Meals indictment of the Camp
bell machinists is in plain language.
He charges that Hon. James Il. Camp
BELLS nomination was bought, that
money was used in direct, corrupt
manner to influence certain delegates
from Hooking and an adjacent county or
two. 1t is further said that MIR. Neal
and his Chillicothe friends point out a
score of places where money was used
by the Campbell men, and in some in
stances they saw an actual transfer OF
currency, followed by change in the
votes of certain delegates from Neal to
Campbell"
There Is column of this timid stuff,
which cowardly insinuatcs but fears to
specify.
What mon werc seen paying money?
Give us their namos. Let them be
promptly arrested and severely pun
ished. This is the way to do busi-
ness. This is the way to clinch this
story and drive Mr.. Campbell off OF the
ticket and end the campaign. Forakers
trusty spy, who hid in the pcnitentiary
water closet. while a convict, told his
skin cane and tally-shcet story, was at
Dayton watching and praying for some
thing to turn up to save Foraker. Did
he hear and see any thing of this kind?
II so, out with the facts and end the ag-
ony of the contest. But If this baseless
policy of partisan falsehood falls In
ruins. the short-sighted libelers have
strengthened tho massive and immova-
BILE foundations of honesty and truth,
upon which Campbell stands. and rem
dered his election more certain. Inc
honest people of all parties in Ohio Will
not brook for an instant this shameful
attempt to stain the good name and the
spotless reputation of an upright citizen
like James E. Campbell. The Times
Star hesitates before believing and woll
says: "rhe allegation lacks every thing
to make it positive and to the point"
Since writing the above Hon. Lawrence
II. Neal, in plain and unmistakable
words, brands the statement as false,
and does not leave splinter upon which
to hang the remains. Colonel Entrekin
is not feeling 50 well since his cncouch-
ment. and Midwife Loomis is very i'll!
Will this disastrous first attempt pre-
vent similar blunders, or will the fool
ish enemy persist in increasing Camp
BELLS majority by other attempts?
General Grosvenor's Splendid En-
dorsement Of Hon. James e. Camp
bell.
In his speech at Xenia last Saturday
General Grosvenor paid the following
laudatory tribute to the Democratic
standard bearer, Hon. James Z. Camp
bell:
"I shall not be found criticising the
able and gallant gentleman the Demo-
cratic party has seen fit to nominate, at
least. SO far as his personal character
and relations are concerned. That he
is gentleman of high character pure
patriotism and high order of intolli-
gence, unswerving honesty and fidelity,
is to be presumed because of his nomin-
alton.
"IIe was patriotic in war, he has been
able and consistent in peace, and is a
true representative of his party in Ohio
better in some respects. worse in
none-and my complaint against him is
not of personal character. but IL solely
and simply because he is Democrat.
~ may as we'll make few remarks
about our friend Campbell. You know
him over here in Nenia. He was your
representative in Congress at one time,
and he did not make bad record.
Upon every question in which the
soldier was interested he voted as !
voted. and claim to have pretty good
standing as friend to tho soldiers of
the war. Side by side with me he
voted for the dependent pension bill;
side by side with me voted for all the
measures OF relief for the soldiers which
the Republicans forced upon them, and
hand in hand with me he voted to
pass the bill over the veto of Mr.. Cleve.

party has shown itself capable of i'm
provement. and exhibited the possibility
of it's ability to appreciate patriotism,
honor and virtue by nominating its can
didate for Governor, and in the discus
sion in which participate during the
campaign ! shall treat Mr.. Campbell as
n gentleman, as l know him to be; shall
criticise his attitude in politics, and
shall scorn to attack his personal char
acter or history"
General Grosvenor also lauded Gov
ernor Fosters administration, but had
very little commondation for Foraker.

displeased at the Generals speech, and
that he said TO friend that Grosvenor's
speech might easily have been taken
for Campbell speech instead of one
advocating the election of the Republi
