HIS FIRST STOP AT GALLON.
Starting from Columbus, his first stor
Was at Gallon, railroad junction, in one
Of the strongest Democratic counties in
the State. There, at noon, he made q
speech from q carriage 10 crowd OF
1,000 persons. 1.-THE Democratic party,

against most iniquitous system and II
does seem at last as though the people
were aroused and are about TO win. We
would break down the system under
which fortunes OF from one to thirty mil
lions have been built NJ, every dollar OF
them from the pockets of the farmers
and wage-earners OF the country. You

In any crowd.
"Can you pick out Mckinley here }"
asked some one, holding up sample
blanket ballot and pointing to the
column headed with the picture OF a
soldier and the words " Veteran Repub-
Jican ticket" The Republicans have
secured throughout the State the nomi-
nation OF few petty candidates by an
alleged organization of that name In
order to get il printed on the official
ballots and possibly draw away the votes

the Governor, "snd that's all / want to
see there, and it's what you shall look
for on election-day if you know what's
good for you" The rooster is the en-
blem that heads the Democratic ticket.
"Your farm values in this country,
resumed the Governor. shave depreci-

wealth OF the State has been in
creasing. The farmers have lost $780,

The sky was almost clear, but from q
passing cloud came down few drops Of
rain glittering like diamonds in the sun

"that the prosperity OF the country
ehould fall just as this rain is doing now,
upon the just and the unjust alike. What
would you think OF Ia pnl;aF that made
all the rain fall on one mans land, while
bis neighbours were suffering from a
Drought That's protection as ID exists
to-day In this country"
A SPEECH AT MANSFIELD.
At Mansfield, the home OF Senator
Sherman, thousands Of people had been
waiting for the Governor all the morn
ing, il being expected that he would ar
give Mt 10 o'clock. The train was held q
Jew minutes while he mounted bag
gage truck and talked TO all the people
who could get near enough to hear him.
1--WE are fighting, he said, "for poll

Ind make the farmer and the wage
Farmer able to buy more with dollar
than he can now. Applause. We seek
10 restore the time when wealth was dis
tributed equally and not confined ms
now TO few. The defeat OF Major Nc
Kinley means that in 1892 the Demo-
Gratis will for the first time in thirty
years have control OF the country and
power to dictate its policy"
LARGE MEETING IN A SMALL TOWN.
At Ashland, o small town, county seat
of strongly Democratic county, there
was crowd OF 5000 people assembled
ct the courthouse, the largest crowd
ever known in the place. The Cover
nor's reception was so enthusiastic that
1t vas some time before he could pro-
coed. "Tbis is year" he said, "when
the people have taken politics into their
own hands, and the professional politi-
clan has less to do with shaping the re-
cult than ever before in the history Of
the State. You have no protected in
dustry in this country except the sheep"
eyes, but woods lower, called out some
one. "The higher the tariff the lower
the wool, replied the Governor. at
always has been so, and it always will be
70. The Chairman OF the meeting, L
understood, is manufacturer. He
makes pumps Well, he isn't protected.
There is no duty on pumps. but he has
10 pay tax on his lumber and other
raw material. If it were not for that he
could make pumps cheaper and SO do
more business on the same capital.
There is nothing so curious in protection
~ that tariff on lumber. The Canadian
cancome in free and bring bis horse and
his goods TO cut the trees, so there's no
projection on labor, but the tree is pro-
tected. During the war. when they
taxed everything they could think Of,
nobody suggested tax on lumber but
when the forests OF the country were all
bought up by few men it was discov-
cred all o. once that there must be
tariff on lumber to protect the American
vorkingman. daughter.
81 didn't need to be told that this
audience was, mostly Of farmers A man
who can't after thirty years of Repub-
lican legislation tell farmer on sight
has no knowledge of human nature.
[Iaughter.l Your farms in this county
have gone down in tax values in ten
gears from SS,634, 900 to 5000. 600.
Major Mckinley says that the Repub-
lican party has made all the laws during
that time and that he wouldn't wipe
. line or letter of them from the statute
books. Well, we would. There's where
We differ from Major Mckinley.
ICheerA] We would wipe from the
Statute books every line and word that
Gays one mans labor shall be taken
from him and given to another man
under the guise Of protection. [Cheers
TALKS TO FARMERS ALLIANCE MEN.
Talking 10 the Farmers Alliance men,
Che Governor said: There can be
only two parties in this country. You

and then you'll have chance to be the
other. laughter You all want tc
