GOV. cAMPeELL'S NEW ISSUE.

Reduction of the Number of Senators In
Proportion to Population.
FISDIAY, O., Oct. Ex-Governor Camp
bell addressed a large gathering of the
Democrats of the Eighth congressional
district in this city yesterday afternoon.
He confined his remarks almost wholly
to a discussion of the Mckinley bill.
which he ridiculed. He also attacked the
political Legislation of the congress Just
ADJOURNED, being particularly sewers on
the bill increasing the number of United
States circuit judges, and the Lodge bill.
He declsred that as an offset to the
claims Of the Republicans that the Re-
publican vote south was suppressed, the
Democrats had a good issue in the propo.
sition to reduce the lumber of United
States senators from New England, and
such states as Nevada where there are
not as many voters as in the city of Find
lay, and yet the state has two senator's

THOSE who do not vote the democratic
ticket next Tuesday will be giving vote
forirresponsible government. II the house
should be republican, United States
senator will be chosen, OF whom the peo-
pie know nothing. If the republicans
obtain the power to return senator and
should choose Farwell he will not be
amenable to the people, and yet he will
represent over half the state. 1t will be
the same with any other republican. TIE
views Of General Palmer are known. and
he should be chosen. Consequently. the
voters should elect both Vinton and VIII
son to the legislature and this they can
do by giving them full and equal sup
port.

Il was refreshing to hear Mr.. Springer
calling of the much boosted free list last
night. The republicans keep telling.
'look at orr large free list" And this
free list is curious one consisting of
such articles as scorns, and acids, and
sampler, and liquorice and burr stones
and number Of things which do not
effect the vital interests of the people.
Clothing. and food. and household goods,
aud farming implements and building
material have all been highly taxed. Burr
stones are free because nobody wants to
use them. When man wants coat
and cannot buy it, under the Mckinley
law. he can chew on an acorn. The coat
is taxed; the acorn is free.
