movement.
The Tariff the Only Issue.
nAssuminq that Won and Major Mckinley
will he tbe candidates of yonr resnective
parties. upon what issue viii the. campaign
chiefly be made?''l
every issue save that of the tariff will
be forgotten two weeks after we are on the
stump: nothing else will be thought of. We
have, in fact, lot of issues upon State
legislation, etc, upon which the Republi-
cans profess to be willing to meea us, but if
Mckinley should be the nominee, / do not
think they will be named. His nomination
will be an Endorsement of his bill as it
passed his committee and the House. They
are bound to make the fight upon the bill as
he passed it if they make him candidate,
and not upon the Senate bill, from which
many OF the original features were cut
out, and to which the seductive feature OF
reciprocity was added.

Upon the St. Louis Platform.
"Certainlv. Twas elected in 1889 unon q
nlatform which reaf;rmed tba ST louis
platform, and which declared that the
Democracy of Ohio would fight upon that
issue until successful Upon that 1 made
the race in 49, The Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, then under Mr.. Halsted, never
ceased ridiculing me because l made ium-
Der speech in Wood county and wool
speech in Harrison county. 1 talked what
L considered to be the inequalities and in
iouities of the tariff right where it was 90
ing to be of local importance, and the result
was that 1 gained in every. wool-growing
county in the State. %
"There appears to be some ouestion in
the newspapers as to your tariff record?'
'In the first place, there has been such
persistent MISREPRESENTATION of my eourse
and history in regard TO tariff (instituted
primarilv by the Cincinnati E,lo,,irer and
followed mn by half q dozen other naners
that have fallen in behind it,. that it would
