Nominating speeches for Governor
commenced at one o'clock. Follet, OF
Cincinnati, placed in nomination Neal,
at the conclusion Of which the conyen-
ton went wild.
At one o'clock, Dodge, of Cleveland,
arose TO nominate Kline. Michael Ryan,
OF Cincinnati, nominated Gov. Camp
bell. His speech in support of the Gov
ernor was very eloquent, and was en-
Enthusiastically received. He said in part:
''It has been intimated by his enemies
that Governor Campbell llwas not always
q Democrat. That is true. When
young man, in Republican district,
surrounded by Republican influences,
he was Republican; but when his con-
science and his reason taught him bet
ter he had the courage to become
Democrat. Thousands OF the best men
in the party to-day are not Democrats
to the manor born, but like Governor
Campbell are Democrats born of con-
science, conviction and intelligence"
He then recounted the victories gain
ed by him over H. L. Morey and Gov.
Foraker.
1.-TWO years ago the great Republican
was in the full tide of his power and
glory in this State. Surrounded by his
cohorts, an army of officeholders Of his
own making, and backed bythes strength
and wealth Of the national Republican
machine. II did indeed seem vain Mt
tempt to seek to defeat Foraker. But
nevertheless we put up James E. Camp
bell against him. Why, it was like
putting up David to fight Goliath. But
the fight came of all the same, and
Goliath was not in 1t. Laughter.
"a banged-up editor and patent
ballot-boX were all that was left 70 COM
memorate the memory OF the once
mighty Foraker.
"By the nomination OF Mckinley, the
Republicans have made the tariff an is
sue in our State election. 1t is despe-
rate attempt on their part to commit
Ohio to McKinleyism on the eve of
presidential contest. They fear YER
dict of the States next year; they dread
a recurrence Of of last years defeat, for
they see the war paint on the faces OF
the people. Therefore they will have
recourse to the most desperate means to
attain their ends.
"But what We are most interested in
this year is good government for our
State, We want to put good men in
Office and we want to keep those in Office
who have been faithful to their trusts.
Honesty, economy, ability-a clean
handed administration. We want a
governor who has the courage to stand
by the people, irrespective of friend or
foe. We want a governor who cannot
be caioled, seduced, or brow beaten in
the discharge Of his duty. We want a
man who possesses firmness OF charac-
ter, executive ability and the strong
right arm to smite down corruption
whenever it rears its head. Therefore
we want James E. Campbell" [Cheersl
CAMPBELL NOMINATED.
After Hon. John A. Richie, OF Lucas
county, had seconded Campbell's nomi-
nation, and A. D. Bolina, OF Pickaway
county, seconded Meals nomination,
the roll was finally ordered. From the
beginning Campbell easily led all COM
petitors.
The announcement OF each delegation
was received with cheers by the friends
OF the particular candidate who received
the majority of the votes. When Ham
ilton county was reached, and Campbell
men received four votes from the strong
hold of the opposition his friends
cheered themselves hoarse with en-
thusiasm.
Whenthe result was finally announced
showing Campbell's nomination there
was another repetition of the wild
scenes of enthusiasm of the day. While
the delegates cheered and waved their
handkerchief and tossed their hats,
the band struck up "The Campbells are
Coming" There was dissent only from
the Hamilton county delegation. While
others were cheering, the Cincinnati
delegates Missed vigorously and refused
to be quieted. The official vote was:
Campbell, sos 1-l8; Neal, 1874 9-16; Kline,
SO, and Congressman johnson one vote.
cAMPDEIb's SPEECH.
Governor Campbell was brought in
and escorted to the stage, where he
made n long speech accepting the nom
ination.
After reviewing his administration
at length and the work of tho general
assembly, the governor launched into
m attack on the protection policy, and
Major Mckinley as its representative,
concluding as follows:
"In his recent speech of acceptance
this same champion of higher protec-
ton says we follow the tariff teachings
of Washington and Hamilton, OF Clay
and Webster, OF Lincoln and Garfield"
Let us see how wide OF the mark this
statement is. The tariff OF to-day is at
the rate Of 573 per cent, the tariff OF
Washington was per cent. The pro-
lection sought by Clay was for the bene-
fit OF "infant industries;" the tariff to-
day increases protection upon indus
tries which have been coddled more
than 90 years; the protection OF Gar
field was, to quote his own words, "that
kind of protection which leads to ulti-
mate free trade"
"Let the Republicans Of Ohio who
have not gone mad on protection come
over this year and start with US upon
the backward march toward the tariff
of Washington; or better yet, enroll
themselves under q banner inscribed
with those burning words of Garfield.
Let the well-meaning men who train
under the name of the Farmers Alli-
ance" or Of the .tPeople's Party" and
who seek to remedy real grievances
broughtabout by Republican legislation
remember that no third party can sue
coed, but that with US and part Of US
they can help to swell the joyous hos
ssna that wifi peal to heaven from the
tax-burdenod people OF the entire
country when the glad tidings 90 forth.
