Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-10-04

for the statement that II his domestic affairs
will permit, ex-President Cleveland Will
make some speeches in Ohio before the cam
paign is over He says he is expected to be at
Dayton with the Governor about October %.
Mr.. Campbell remarked this morning that
he didn't know anything about it. All these
matters are in tine hands of the State CON-
mittee
The suit of Judge Thompson to test the
eganty OF the new ballot law is being
watched with interest. The Democrats de-
clare that it is Republican trick, and shows
that the managers are afraid. The Judge
insists that the voting is complicated, and as
a result number of voters in both parties
will be disfranchised. No allowance is made
and none could be with fairness, for blum
ders made in following the written instruc-
tions. The Republicans say it was nom
sensical to put in the law that a scratch
across the name rendered the ballot illegal.
This is the simplest and most ef-
fective way OF giving boards of
elections to understand that a candidate
is not voted for. The substitution of a cross
which must be placed on the right or left
hand margin opposite n name, as you wish
to ballot for or against him, has complicated
the system. Most people don't know on
which side to put the mark. Voting the
straight ticket is very easy, but a man must
have the skill of juggler to put down the
cross in the proper place when he takes n
notion to do little slashing.
THE SPEECHES OF YESTERDAY.
This afternoon the Governor filled his
date at Coshocton. He started out on Mon
day ut Logan. The Governor was received
in the old way with q delegation of Demo
Gratis and a brass band. After his speech at
Bellaire he went to GAINESVILLE to spend the
night. During the morning num-
Der Of Democrats called on him
at the Clarendon. He arrived at
nh q ~ IL ol- ol-ar,
at once to the Court House square, where
the meeting was held. In the evening he re-
turned to Columbus.
Muskingum is one of the close counties in
the State. Cambell carried it in 1888 with a
majority of ZIG Since then it has gone Re-
publican with few to spare. District At
torney Wynn thinks the county will go
Democratic again this fall. He says the
Peoples party is not cutting much of fig
ure through this section. They nominated
n county ticket last Saturday, but he doesn't
believe they made the return to the authori-
ties at Columbus as required by law. Co
shocton county is Democratic by 500. The
people are chiefly wool growers and
farmers. \ large crowd WAS present to hear
the Governor
General A. J. Warner, of Marietta, was
also on deck, and he made his cut and dried
speech in favor of free silver. The old Gen.
eral is among the foremost of the silver ad-
vocates IN the country. He is good
speaker and is a bad man TO buck against on
lne financial question:
WOOL, TIN AND POTTERY.
Coshocton is a great Saturday town and a
number OF farmers had come in to do their
trading and see the Governor. From 5000
to 1000 people listened to the speech. Camp
bell was tired and anxious to get home. For
this reason he didn't talk long and Judge
StfIlwell and General Warner took charge
of the bulk of the oratory. The Governor
made another wool speech. His ideas
varied very little from what have already
appeared in THE DISPATCH on this
subject from him. He also touched up
the Oatmeal Trust His statemenS that
the price had been advanced since the tariff
went into effect was denied. He produced
showing it had been pushed up several dol
lars per barrel. He gave the tin plate in
dustry, as usual, several sarcastic rubs-
A letter was read from Governor Albeit,
of New Jersey, confirming MIR. Campbell in
his claim that the potters' wages had been
passed. Governor Albeit said the reduc-
tion at first was Is per cent, but after a five
months strike q compromise was made for a
cut OF per cent. Mr.. Campbell condemned
the protective policy for driving American
vessels and the merchant marine from the
high seas. He told the farmers they were at
the mercy of the foreign carriers, who
charged them what they pleased and prac-
tically fixed the price of their products 60
ing abroad. The Governor spoke of the
''rotten rich and the dirt poor" and this
was the result of a protective tariff that was
the people. 1t favors the few at the expense
of the American workmen.
During his speech he was frequently ap-
plauded. ISRAEL.
