The Eloquent Ohioan Captures n Big Au-

New YORK, Oct. 1S-The big hall of
Cooper Union was crowded tonight. and
there was plenty OF enthusiasm present. 1t
was let loose without stint for the bene-
fit of the orator of the evening, the
Hon. j. B. Foraker. of Ohio. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the Repub-
lican Club of the city of New York. aud
James A. Blanchard, the president of tho
club. introduced the Ex-Governor in a brief
speech. Governor Foraker was enthusias-
ticslly received, aud SAID, in part:
The political condition six months ago was
such that no thoughtful Republican dared hope
for success on the 9Th OF November next. That
condition no lcnger exists: lCheers.l A
change has been wrought. come
here fresh from Nebraska. Kansas. Illinois.
say to you with tho knowledge whereof
/ affirm that If the Republicans OF the Empire
State will do their duty now. no doubt remains
artly re-elect Benjamin Harrison. Cheers
This change has not been brought about
by the blowing OF horns: the making
papers. The best work done In behalf OF
Republicanism has been done by the Democratic
party itself. ICheers and laughter.l No sooner
house OF Congress than it showed that it was the
same old Democratic party that we have been
cursing for the last thirty years.
The speaker then criticised the two
planks in the Democratic platform the
State bank issue and the tariff. OF the
former he said that the language of the
Democratic platform was simple and un-
p%retentious, but he never knew n platform
TO contain so much dynamite under the
surface. He said the Republican party
had built up the system of currency. which
Is the best in the world, and he contrasted
it with the system i'm vogue previous to the
war, when every State had q currency of
its own. In regard to State banks, he said
il was the old Democratic idea of State
rights all through. the idea that the boys
In blue shot holes through and hacked with
their sabers.
In dealing with the tariff. Mr.. Foraker
said Peck's report was corroboratIvo of the
good results of the Mckinley bill. 1t sent
the Democrats into Mysteries, and. the
speaker said. Gave old Cleveland almost
q tit of apoplexy." At the conclu-
sion of his speech. which lasted
an hour and q half. Ex-Governor Foraker
sat down, but the audience insisted that
he tell them more. The cries of More"
were so continuous and frequent that he
was compelled to mako another speech, in
which he spoke of the prospects of Repub-
lican success and predicted the election of
Harrison and Reid.
