The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-07-09

was no one TO introduce him, and he made
himself at home among the crowd. The
governor made many friends by his courte-
Gus ways.
The music rendered by the Grand Army
band was of the best and has seldom been
equaled in this city or elsewhere. Each
member OF the Dand seemed to appreciate
that the guest was one TO whom honor was
due, aud did his very best. Nothing more
| could be desired in the way of music and
the Grand Army band scored another
| triumph.
GOV. oAMPBELL's ADDRESS.
After several selections by the band,
Gov. Campbell appeared and spoke as
follows:
Gentlemen: think there is more po-
litcal pressure to the square inch in Can
ton than any place in the world. | have
| met this same Young Mems Democratic
/ club of Canton, which | understand is
/ engineering this serenade, before. The
| first time met them at Cleveland and the
| next time at Dayton, at the greatest con-
vention of the century. | have met them
/ twice before this in Canton. l now feel
| thlt il makes no difference how many
| times | meet them, would be pleased to
meet them many more. l did not come
| here exactly for a political purpose.

nice Democratic girls to marry off, just
send for me. The next wedding attend

| l know there is a great deal at stake for
one, may say two, of her citizens. Not
| only the political future Of the state is at
| stake, but il the Republicans fail to re-

use for elections. As one citizen said to
| me tonight, IL the Republicans do not
| carry Ohio this fall, they will not meet
| with as much success as the Wings did AZ
years ago. We are about to begin the bat
| tie Of 1891 and not 1892. The eyes of the
| country will be on Ohio this fall as never
before. 1t will be the great national bat
| tie field. Both parties will concentrate
their forces here. The great issue will be
| fought out here, and the Democrats and
tariH reform will surely be successful.
Whether am nominated or not, some
| good Democrat will be elected governor
next fall. l know your distinguished and
| esteemed fellow townsman. 1 served in
Congress with him and realize that he is
| just the kind of a man that you should
Keep at home, right here along side of you.
II the Democrats nominate the present i'm
cumbent he will do all in his power to

purposes, yet l expect to make a great
| many political speeches, and feel ready
now for the battle. Never before in my
time have heard so much politics five
months before an election. 1t shows the
spirit OF the people, and that every Demo

every Republican will not. don't know

l thank you for this kind greeting.
HON. JOHN c. wELTY.
When Gov. Campbell concluded and
the applause subsided, there were loud
calls for "Welty," and that gentleman APP
peared and spoke as follows:
The News DEMOCRAT says am out OF
politics. am out this far that am not a
candidate for any office, but will help the
cause of Democracy under any and all
circumstances. Furthermore, am pleas
ed at this expression of confidence
in the worthy governor: 1t means
that this assemblaGe which has gath.
ered' in SO few minutes without any
notice, in an outpouring of the people
from the heart. 1t means that the people
are with Governor Campbell and endorse
his administration. 1t means that Stark
by tue present Governor and see that Can
toms distinguished citizen is kept at home
and Governor Campbell re- elected.
Gentlemen there are times when
would like to dwell longer on such things.
l ask when YOU go to your homes andto
your convention that you remember the
fact that this falls election means more
than the election of Major Mckinley or
Gov. Campbell. The issue is the one
which divides the two parties. 1t will he
national fight. II you re-elect Governor
Campbell there will he no doubt that Ohio
will name the candidate for President of
the United States. Let us be up and doing
and not asleep. Remember that we have
duty TO perform. thank you all.
MAYOR JOHN F. BLAKE.
There we're loud cries for Mayor Blake
and Mr.. Welty introduced him as the man
who appoints Democratic policemen. The
Mayor spoke as follows:
Gent!emen-L certainly join you with the
greatest pleasure in greeting tonight the
Governor of Ohio. 1t is part of Demo,
Gratis life never TO forget fealty 10 the
party and honor due TO those who repre-
sent them in the affairs of government.
No man deserves more honor or more
praise from his fellow citizens. than the
Governor of Ohio. He deserves this be-
cause all believe Governor Camp
bell has been honest and held
the reins of government in the
interest of all the people and that he has
TO the best of his ability done justice to the
high exalted position which he holds. We
would certainly be behind in duty if wedid
not come out here tonight with cheers and
warm greetings for one of the foremost
Democrats in the nation. We greet the
governor of Ohio and fellow Democrats,
! may say truthfully that he deserves ali
the encomiums that we can pass upon
him as the great Democrat and ruler. [
thank you all foryour kind attention.
HON. JOHN e. MorEoT.
When the mayor concluded the applause
lasted quite length of time and Hon.
John K, Monnot responded to the calls
made for him. He said:s Gentlemen-I
did not come here tonight TO make a
speech, but to hear what Others had TO say.
will say very little, but perhapsin behalf
of the club l may say that two years ago
Stark county gave Gov. Campbell the
largest majority that IL has given any
Democrat since the wan. L hope no organ
ixation will do more 10 increase that ma
jority than the Young Mems Democratic
Club. That Is all have to say and bid
you good night.

hands for quite "a length of time and re-
