GOV. CAMPBELL's ACCEPTATION.
Governor Campbell was brought in
and escorted to the stage, where he
made long speech accepting the NOM
nation.
After reviewing his administration at
length and the work of the General AS
sembly, the Governor launched into an
attack on the protection policy and Maj.
Mckinley as it's representative, con-
Guiding as follows:
In his recent speech Of acceptance
this same champion of higher protection
said: eve 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 571l per cent; the tariff of
Washington was ~ per cent; the pro-
lection sought by Clay was for the ben
eft of "infant" industries; the tariff to-
day increases protection upon industries
which have been coddled more than 90
years; the protection OF Garfield was,
to quote his own words, "That 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, en-
roll themselves under banner Inscribed
with those burning words of Garfield.
Let the well meaning men who train UNI
der the names of the Farmers ALI
ance," or of the peoples Party" and
who seek to remedy real grievances
brought about by Republican legisla-
ton, remember that no third party can
succeed; but that with us, and a part OF
us, 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 forth
next November that we are yet in pos
session of the old Republican citadel
now the Democratic Buckeye State.
