lie called.
CAMPBELL AHEAD FROM THE START.
From tho very beginning Gov. Campbell
nouncement of each delegation was received
with cheers by the friends of the particular
candidate who received a majority of the
votes. When Hamilton county was reached
and Coy. Campbell even received four votes
from the stronghold of the opposition,
his friends cheered themselves hoarse
with enthusiasm. Hamilton county gave
four for Campbell aud fifty-five for Neal.
When the result was fi1ally announced
showing INV ffanrhail1n fbera
was another repetition of the wild scenes Of
enthusiasm of the day. While the delegates
cheered and waved their handkerchiefs and
tossed their hats, the band in the gallery
struck up " The Campbells are coming"
HAMILToN's DISSENT.
There was dissent only from the Hamil-
ton county, delegation. While the others

failing to demand the ayes and nays.
EMPHASIZING THEIR OPPOSITION.
The Hamilton county men voted mo" In
a chorus, however, aud as if to emphasize
their opposition repeated the mo, no, no.
for half a minute. Following the an
nouncsment that the motion had
prevailed they hissed loudly and
repeatedly, notwithstanding cries of
shame, shame,n from the Cuyahoga county
delegation. I'VE have nominated the next
governor of Ohio,n said James E. Neal of
Butler mo relative of the defeated caudi-

but one candidate. W. V. Marquis, the
present incumbent, who was renominated
by acclamation.
At this juncture the committee returned
with Gov. Campbell, and, as the familiar
face of the governor was discerned In the
throng, another outburst of enthusiasm
marked the proceedings. 81 introduce your
present and future governor" ;" said the chair
man briefly, and Gov. Campbell stepped to
the front.
THE GOVERNORS SPEECH.
The governor briefly reviewed and de-
Tended the administration of state affairs
during the past eighteen months, and then
proceeded to say:
The electors of Ohio have other reasons for
voting with us this year besides such as solely
affect this state. The battle before lis is
essentially national one. Not only Is this
true because the result must seriously
affect next years federal elections. but also be-
cause the republicans Of Ohio have unreservedly
identified themselves with every phase of the
Ubiquitous legislation accomplished or at
tempted by the Fifty-frst congress- In their
platform they have reaftirlned their adherence
to the infamous force bill-the repub-
lican lost cause-a measure so OBJ
viously designed to destroy free elections
that the republican senators, unwilling to
violate their conscencej and their oaths re-
fused to inhict it upon the country The Re-
publican party OF Ohio appears as defender of
that bitrary disregard of minority rights
which dsgraced the last House of Representa-
tives. 1t upholds the fraudulent unseatng of
by the Senate; and all other
high-handed outrages by which that
party has sought to perpetuate its power
against the wishes of the people, 1t represents
the reckless extravaganza and astounding
profligacy which have dissipated the splendid
democratic surplus; forced an extension of the
national bonds, and compelled an Ohio Secre-
tary of the Treasury to resort to tricks of book
keeping and subterfuges unworthy of his office
in order to conceal the deficit and deceive the
people.
THE oDIoUs TARIFF BILL
Pre-eminently also does the republican leader
in ohio Whose high character and conspicuous
career but emphasize his advocacy Of bad legis-
lation) stand for that perncious tariff measure
which was rejected at the polls last year by the
people OF the entire country; measure identi-
fed with his name, saturated with his ideas
and wrought by his hands; a measure de.
signed, as has been well said, in
the interest "of monopoly, by monopoly. for
monopoly a measure which is bringing about
the worst of all centralizations-the centraliza-
ton of wealth with its debasing and destructive
results; q measure which has already in many
cases made less work and lower wages for pro
ductive labor; measure which has forced the
farmer of Ohio to sell his wool in some in
instances as low as 20 cents
pound. and that. too, in market
where he pays more dearly for hundreds OF
necessary articles which are but insufficientIv
sweetened with the humbug OF bounty pro
duced sugar; a m asure which forces from the
labor of the country Sl4 OOO 900 each year for the
benefit of prospective tin mines owned by caui-
talists who live in England and prospective tin
plate works to be operated by labor imported
from Wales; a measure which, as IL came from
the hands of its author, did not, in the
opinion of an eminent republican, "open the
market for another pound OF pork or another
barrel Of four" q measure which could not be
forced down e throat Of q reluctant Senate
until sugar coated with the old democratic doc
trlne of reciprocity, a doctr he finally though
feebly, embodied in the bill, in spite of the
opposition from the great Ohio protectionst
NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE.
In his recent speech of acceptance this same
champion Of higher protection said: I'VE fol-
low the tariff teachings of Washington and
Hamilton, of Clay and Webster, of Lincoln and
of Garfield" Let us see how wide of the mark
this statement is. The tar IF of to-day is at the
rate of 55 per cent ;Che tariff of Washington was
