Tho Nomination Is Accepted In an APP
propriate Address.
CLEVELAND, July 15.-The committee ap-
pointed to notify Gov. Campbell of his
nomination and escort him before the con-
vention returned, and as the familiar face
of the governor was discovered in the
throng another outburst OF enthusiasm
marked the proceedings.
II introduce your present and future
governor" said the chairman, briefly, and
Gov. Campbell stepped to the front and
spoke at some length. He said:
while gratefully accepting a second
nomination from the democratic party Of
Ohio. my thoughts naturally revert to the
record ana achievements of that party
since the memorable Dayton convention.
The electors OF Ohio have other reasons for
voting with us this year, besides such rs
solely affect this state. The battle before
us is essentially Il national one, because the
republicans of Ohio have identified them
selves with every phase of the niquitous
legislation accomplished or attempted by
the FIFTY first congress. The republican
party appears as defenders of thar arbi-
trary disregard of minority rights which
dlsoraced the last house of representatives.
1t uphods the fraudulent unseating of law
FULLY elected members, the steal of Mon
tanu by the senate, and all other high
handed outraRes by which that party
against against the he wishes sp' Of the the people. e.
1t represents the reckless eAtrava-
ganoe and astounding protligacy which
dissipated the splendid democratic surplus,
forced an extension of national bonds. and
compelled the Ohio secretary of the treas
ury TO resort to tricks of bookkeeping and
suhtertuges unworthy of his office i'll order
to conceal the deficit and deceive the peo-
pie.
Pre- eminently, also. does the republican
leader in Ohio stand for that pernioious
tarltf measure which was rejected at the
polls last year by the people OF the entire
country, a measure designed, as has been
we'll said, in the interests of monopoly, by
monopoly and for monopoly, measure
which Is bringing about the worst of all
oentralizations of wealth with its debasing
aud destructive results, measure which
has lieady. i'll many cases, made loss work
and lower wages Tor productive labor; u
measure which has forced the farmer to sell
his wool as low rs 20 cents per pound, and
that, too, in a market whore he pays
more dearly for hundreds of necessary
articles, which are but insutiioiently sweet
ened with the humbug of bounty-produced
sugar; u measure winch forces from the
labor of the country $l4,00O,000 each year
for the benefit of the prospective tin mines.
owned by capitalists who live i'll England,
and prospective tin works to be operated by
labor imported from Wales; measure
which, as it came FROM sthe hands OF its
author, did not, in the opinion Of an emil
nent republican, ore II market for another
pound Of pork or another barrel of -four; q
measure which conld not be forced down
the throat of the reluctant senate until
sugar coated with the old democratic doc
trlne of reciprocity.
Let the republicans OF Ohio who have
not gone mad on protection como over this
year and start with us upon the backward
march toward the tariff Of Washington, or
better yet. enroll themselves under the ban
ner inscribed with those burning
words of Garfield. Let well mean
ing men. who train under
