lowing from Chairman Neal of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, OF
the State OF Ohio:
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 8, 1891.
Governor B. R. Tillman, Columbia, 5. c.:
Ny DEAR SIR-The Democratic par
ty of the State of Ohio is just entering
upon the greatest struggle IN its his
tory. BY the nomination of Hon. Will
liam Mckinley, Jr, the Republicans
have squarely endorsed the tariff law,
of which ile is author, and thus they
have made the great issue before the
people-that of tariff reform. We glad
ly take up the gage of war. With the
chief apostle of protection as the stand
ard-bearer of their party, Ohio becomes
this year the great national battle
ground upon which is to be fought the
iercest preliminary struggle OF 1892.
With such vital interests at stake, with
50 much that is dear to the people de-
pending upon the result, we expect the
sympathy and encouragement OF the
Democrats of every State in the Union.
It is our desire, and the wish Of Govern
or Campbell and the other candidates
on the State ticket, to hold the great
rally of the campaign on Tuesday, Oc-
tober 9th, to be known as 'The Govern
ors' Meeting" and addressed by the
Democratic governors of every State.
It will be held in the capitol building,
and will be the greatest political meet
ing ever gathered on the soil Of Ohio.
We earnestly and cordially invite you
to give greeting to our people and to
tell them how their cause is being up
held throughout our common country.
We shall expect you and welcome you
with open arms. VIII you come?
Every attention will be given your
comfort and convenience. You Will
not be quartered at hotel, but enter
tanned at the homes of the hospltable
citizens Of Columbus.
Awaiting an early reply, we remain
most sincerely, JAMES +. NEAL,
S. G.. COLE, Secretary. Chairman.

M OEAR tCllI-1 Jul 1CCeSA Va oSP
tember Sd, inviting me to attend a
grand Democratic rally" on the 9th OF
October, at the capital of Ohio. is re-
ceiyed. l realize fully the Importance
of the contest being waged between
"Democracy" and Republicanism in
your State this year, and would gladly
lend any aid in my power to secure the
reelection of Governor Campbell. II
he is victorious-and God grant he may
be-he will De the next President OF the
United States. The South i'll general,

grown disgusted with The "ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain" OF
New York's greedy politicians, by
which the national democracy" has
more than once been betrayed, because
of corrupt bargains in the struggle fsG
supremacy III New York clty's munlcl-
pa! election. We long for candidate
who breathes a pure political atmos-
phere, and will rejoiceif Ohio shall fur
nish the man. l regret my official du-
ties will not permit me TO be with You
on the DAY mentioned, in person, but l
will be there in spirit, aud hid'5ou Cog
speed in your glorious fight.
Thanking you for your courtesy, l am
very respectfully, 3. r. TILLMAN,
Governor South Carolina.
