lie was escorted there by the Lincoln
League and Buckmaster Club. A special
train was ran, and they returned to the city
at 9 o'clock.
A TALK TO FARMERS.
Mckinley talked to the Grangers about
the tariff, and pointed out the fallacies of
free silver. He showed them how the
duty on wool had nothing TO do with the
reduced prices, and pointed out that with
ont the tariff the product would be selling
at a much cheaper rate. Mckinley re-
marked that Governor Campbell was re-
ported as saving at Toledo that as soon as he,
Ihe Major, answered this question: ''What
man berwfeu the two oceans is benefited by
the rarih?" he would speak on the silver
issue.
The champion of protection laughed and
said he was answering the question daily.
This is the burden OF his song. The bene-
fits OF protection are apparent in the general
prosperity of the people: labor is better
paid here than in any other country in the
world, and nowhere do so many workmen
own their homes.
In his speech at Painesville, the Majors
remarks o. silver were reported incorrectly,
and this morning Cincinnati paper criti-
cised his position or the silver question. In
his discussion Of the silver problem he dis
avowed the statements accredited to him.
He believes in an honest dollar worth 100
cents
AN OVATION AT COLUMBUS.
Columbus Republicans have long wished
ard waited for an opportunity to honor Nc
Einlev. Franklin is a Democratic county,
aud .he boys here are not accustomed TO
getting any treats. They couldn't be
denied any longer, and finally The Major
came. He at least had a chance to talk to
a number of Democrats. He was enthus-
aStically received All the Republican
clubs in the city turned ont, and the parade
was inspiring, red light was burned along
the line, bands played, rockets were set of,
and generally hilarious time prevailed.
The Young fellows from the University,
a tire WittenberC boys did at Springfield,
kept up p constant racket. There was
plenty Of enthusiasm and cheering for the
Republican standard bearer the parade
was marshalled bv General Axline. Hon.
Henry c Taylor, presided, and in a pretty
complimentary speech introduced McKin-
lev The meeting was held in the Park
Rink. which will hold about 5000 people,
SO they say. At any rate, the building was
uacked The Major delivered his usual
campaign address. Among other things he
said the Democrats were reduced to un-
usual straits when they couldn't find an
other article except pearl buttons which
had advanced siuce the tariff went into
effect.
SOME POINTS ON CAMPBELL.
Early in the campaign Governor Camp
bell cited linseed OF! as being dearer He
promptly showed that the price was lower
according to the newspaper quotations. The
Governor cropped linseed oil and took up
Ca'mcal, but the price of oatmeal is not any
higher than 1t was this time last year
Now the Governor never refers to oatmeal
Mills wants a duty put on coffee tea and
sugar. That is British tariff
H. added that Mills was brought up in a

no; calculated TO fit him to be an economic
teacher for the nation. There are more
manufacturing plants in Columbus than in

tn" graded tax is the first step toward d.
rect taN8tiGn. II iS an easy matter to get at
the incomes Of men who work for salaries,
the great wa c-working classes, but who
can tell what the rich make yearly? They
haze too many ways oil concealing their
wealth.
The Major called attention to the Legis-
latUrc and cautioned the voters in Franklin
county not 70 forget the Legislative ticket
THE DEMOCRATS ARE SAD.
L can't be concealed any longer that the
Democrats are becoming discouraged, but
;hcy are making game fight. l get it
urettv straight that The committee is hard
up for funds tc carry on the aggressive
campaign that Chairman Neal would like
TO. Personally, Jim" Neal, as the bows
call him, is one o. the most popular Demo
Gratis in the State, and he is one of their
bes: organizers He is ambitious to manage
a successful party, and he is doing his best
with the material al hand.
Now comes the report that the National
Democratic Committee has Withdrawn its
support. They reason that when the Ohio
Republibans are thoroughly aroused as they
are this wear it is useless 10 throw away
money in the State. This is said to be
Bri.-e's advice. The situation has been

cluded they only have a fighting chance in
Massachusetts, where all their energies will
be concentrated. The decision of the conf
mittee, as the story goes, has depressed the
Ohio Democratic managers, and cut of one
source of supply from which they had ex-
pected a great deal.
THE SILVER MEN FLUSKED.
The silver men also are said not to have
come up to the scratch, and the Eastern fel-
lows tizZled completely, while the contribu-
tions Of the Western end were meager, and
barely sufficient 10 pay the Office expenses
OF the committee. Again, a feeling pre-
walls among the Democrats that the Repub-
licans have plenty Of hard cash, enough at
least, to see them through the campaign
with ease.
Another factor to make the Democrats
weary, is the splendid organizations of the
Republican party. 1t is due principally to
The work Of Sherman and Foraker's lieu
tenants, who have been making a still
hunt in the Republican counties in the
State. All these things when contemplated
by the Democratic wheel horses do not fill
their chests with hope.
