ssMEETING OF THE GOvERNORS.o
The Great Debate Between Mckinley
and Campbell at Ada, Ohio-An En-
thusiastfc Welcome Accorded the
Respective charlottesville Town
i'm Holiday Attire.
ADA, O., Oct. S.-"The meeting of the
Governors" will be long remembered
event in the history of Ada and Hardin
county. For weeks the joint debate be-
tween Governor Campbell and Major Nc
Kinlay has been referred to as the i'm
pending battle of the giants and the dis
cussion to-day fully demonstrates that Nc
Kinley and Campbell are indeed peerless
as opponents of the high and low tariff
principles which they respectively spouse.
The little town of Ada was in gala attire
to-day in honor of this great event and not
only did every front window present a
likeness of either Mckinley or Campbell,
but from the very limbs of the trees were
suspended above the streets the portraits
of the distinguished Ohioans. Flags and
banners were without number and great
various triumphal arches, the most prom
inent of these structures being the non
partisan welcome arch which circles
the main street and bore the
words "Welcome to their leaders"
From the apex were also suspended the
portraits of Mckinley and Campbell, and
as the various marching clubs marched
under the arch they cheered Justify for
their respective leaders. Professor H. S.
Lehr, president of the state normal uni
versity, and the protector of this famous
meeting of the governors, entertained Ma
jer Mckinley and Governor Campbell at
lunch. AT Ills a special train bearing
Major Mckinley, Senator Humphreys and
others rolled into the depot and cheer
after cheer arose from the crowds as the
ajor's features were recognized by the
multitude. At 1890 a Hooking Valley
train bearing Governor Campbell and
about 1 200 democrats arrived. A repeti-
ton of the enthusiastic ovation extended
to Major Mckinley was the reception ten
dered to Governor Campbell. The gov
ernor was rapidly driven to the residence
of Professor Lehr, where he met Major
Mckinley. For brief hour politics and
the great struggle for partisan supremacy
in the Buckeye state were laid aside
and these two gentlemen met in SO
cial friendship in fulfllment of their
mutual pledge at the opening Of the con-
test that theirs should be "a campaign of
measures, and not of men; of principle,
and not of personality"
THE UNION MEETING.
The union meeting was held in the am
phitheater in the fair grounds. Great
taste was displayed in the decorations, and
in the center of the grounds was huge
pole from which foated the stars and
stripes. AS the two leaders appeared,
governors salute was fred. Among the
prominent people on the grandstand were:
Congressman Storer and Taylor, General
Finley, ex-Congressman Yoder, j. P.
Bailey, democratic candidate for attorney
general, Chairman Norton of the state
central committee, Professor P. S. Lehr
and many Others The meeting was pre-
sided over by two chairmen, J. M. Van
Fleet of the Hardin county democratic
central committee, on behalf of the demo-
Gratis, and James o. Howe of the republi-
can county committee, on behalf of the
republicans. At 40 the meeting was called
to order by Rev. Mr.. Campbell, the Pres
byterian minister. Seven thousand people
were then on the grounds. The clerical
gentleman introduced the two presiding
officers and announced that Governor
Campbell would be the first speaker.
Chairman Van Fleet, the democratic pre-
siding officer, made brief speech of con-
graduation to everybody and announced
that Governor Campbell has gained the
privilege of opening and closing by casting
Tba o11nloJ inc
ly to Major Mckinley as "Governor Nc
Kinley," and the republicans cheered lusti-
ly, while the chairman blushed in confu-
sion. Governor Campbell, after being
introduced as one of Ohio's greatest gov
ernors, launched into the debate.
GOVERNOR CAMPBELL's REMARKS.
In the course of his speech Governor
Campbell said: The moments at my dis
posal are much too few to properly present
an indictment against that overgrown
monster masquerading in the garb of pro-
lection and subsisting upon the wage
worker and the farmer. In the days of
the French revolution Nine. Rollins pro-
tested against the crimes committed in the
name of liberty. I protest against the
crimes committed in the name of pretec-
ton, protection which increases the liv-
ing necessities of the poor and produces
reduction of the wages of workingmen
and women. Our once proud commerce
has been swept from the seas, and yearly
farming is growing more improbable.
1t is said the tariff is imposed for the
| building and maintenance of manufac-
| turers. How long, oh Lord, how long shall
this up-building and maintenance go on
| IA voice: "For all time."l Then it will
not stop with eternity. TApplause.
Mr.. Campbell called attention to the
length of time during which many infant
cized various provisions of the Mckinley
bill. He asked: els there a farmer il
sound of my voice who is better off now
than he was in lss0r' Cries of Eyes, yes.
| Where is he?
"Here, here, 3 from various portions Of
the house, and laughter.
"But he has more mortgages and ha
seen more sheriff sales" shouted a demo
cratic agriculturist, and others chimed il
Eyes, right" =
Mr.. Campbell said: 81 state it as fac
that not one farmer in a thousand in Obi
is as we'll off to-day as in 1880"
"Right, right. That's fact" shoute'
various voices.
Mr.. Campbell asked any laboring MAJ
whose wages had been increased since tn

Colonel Howe, republican chairman c
the meeting, introduced Major McKinle
as can ideal typical American, one know
not only at home, but abroad
The major said: "The issues betwee

the platforms of our respective parties
! There is one or two of them which
propose to present. One is the questaic
