Upon being nominated Governor Camp.
bell was sent for and appearing upon the
platform amid deafening cheers, made q
short address in which he says:
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 seri-
ously affect next years Federal elections,
but also because the Republicans OF
Ohio have unreservedlv identified them
selves with every phase of the iniquitous
legislation accomplished or attempted by
the Fifty-first Congress. In their platform
they have reaffirmed their adherence to the
infamous Force bill-the Republican lost
cause-a measure so obviously designed to
destroy free elections that Republican
sciences and their oaths refused to infict
it upon the country. The Republican
party of Ohio appears as the defender of
the arbitrary disregard of minority rights
which disgraced the last House of Repre-
sentatives. It upholds the fraudulent un-
seating of lawfully elected members; the
steal of Montana by the Senate and all
the 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 profiigacy which have dissi.
pated. the splendid Democratic surplus,
forced the extension of national bonds
and compelled an Ohio Secretary Of Treas
lry to resort to tricks of bookkeeping and
subterfuges unworthy of his office in
order to conceal deficit and deceive the
people.
Prominently, also does the Republican
leader in Ohio (whose high character and
k,,f. 4. L
cacy of bad legislation) stand forth with
pernicious tariff measure which was re-
iected at the polls last year, by the people
OF the entire country measure identified
with his name, saturated with his,ideas
and wrought by his hands; a measure de-
signed, as has been well said, in the in
terest "of monopoly, by monopoly, for
monopoly" measure which is bringing
about the worst of all Capitalization
its debasing and destructive results
measure which has already, in
many cases, made less work and
a measure which has forced the farmer
Of Ohio to sell his wool in some
instances as low as twenty cents u
pound, and that, too, in market where
he pays more dearly for hundreds of neces-
sary articles which are but insufliciently
sweeetened with the humbug of bounty
from the labor of the country s14, ,OO00uO
each year for the benefit of prospective Tin
mines, owned by capitalists who live in
England, and prospective tin-plnte works
to be operated by labor imported from
Wales; a measure which, as it game from
the hands. OF its author, did not in the
opinion OF an eminent Republican, ''ul,en
a market for another pound of pork or
another barrel of fiour'-a measure which
could not be forced down the throat of a
reluctant Senate until sugar coated with
the old Democratic doctrine of reciprocity
"a doctrine, finally, though feebly, chi
bodied in the bill in spite of opposition
from the great Ohio protectionist
In his recent speech of acceptance this
same champion of higher protection said:
I'VE follow the tariff teachings of WASH
ington and Hamilton, of Clay and Web
ster, 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 57i
per cent the tariff of Washington was ri
per cent the protection sought by CLAW
was for the benefit of 'infant' industries:
the tariff to-day increases protection upon
industries which have been coddled for
more than so years. the protection of Gar
kind of protection which leads to ultimate
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 banner inscribed with
those burning words of Garfield. Let the
well-meaning men who train under the
names of the Farmers Alliance" or of
the Peoples Party and who seek to
remedy real. grievances brought about by
Republican legislation, remember that no
third party can succeed; but that with us,
and as part of u.s. they can help to swell
the joyous hosanna that will peal TO heaven
from the tax-burdened people of the entire
country when the glad tidings go north
next November that we are yet in possess
sion of the old Republican citadel, now
the Democratic Buckeye State.
