have but one ending in Ohio, When.
ever the Republican party of the state
is thoroughly aroused, thoroughly in
touch with the younger and more pro.
gressive elements of the community,
and moves Upon the enemy'a works, it
always carries them.
REID INDUCES IN GUsH.
Mr.. Reid paid a tribute to the charac-
ter Of Lewis D. Campbell, of the olden
days; to Salmon P. Chase. of Cincin-
natl; to Edwin M. Stanton, of Steuben-
vile; Tom Ewing and Tom Corwin, all
Orleans, who had done service to their
country.
Take out these men and their his
tory" said he, land what is left of the
soul-stirring history of Ohio for the last
third OF century,"
Referring to political subjects, he said !:
Our opponents are just now in deadly
trouble, because they say the president
is cold man. Well, I have no doubt
be often does cast a chill on them.
His grandfather's hat also gave
them trouble till they found it
was only good fit, but the whole coun-
try knew it. The ice cart at the White
House door will disappear in like man
ner from their campaign literature
when they discover that it quite suits
the nation Of 65 ,000. 900 intelligent peo.
pie to have president that does not
gush, that does not slop over and does
not play the demagogue, but carries
himself with the modest dignity of q
private citizen, and yet with the de-
corum and nobility of the position to
which he has been elevated; who meas
ures his words and keeps them"
Continuing, Mr.. Reid endorsed the
provisions of the Mckinley bill, and
concluded by predicting that after the
campaign the Republicans OF Ohio
would be able, like Commodore Perry.
to say: "We have met the enemy and
he is Ours.'
FORAKER PIPES A NEW TUNE,
Elk Governor Foraker followed Reid.
He spoke on the reasons why every Re-
publican should zealously support Ben
jamin Harrison. He devoted some time
to stating the differences between Har-
rison and Cleveland, eulogizing the ca
reer of the former and depreciating that
OF the latter. He dwelt on President
Harrison's administration, and said it
would be long remembered as intensely
American. He has firmly maintained
law and order at home. and with dignity
and patriotism maintained our rights
and upheld our honor abroad"
In concluding, he said: "Four more
years OF Benjamin Harrison in the
White House will not only continue the
marvellous prosperity with which we
are blessed, but give to US our rightful
place in the commerce of the seas, and
make US the dominant power Of the
western hemisphere. His record is res
plendent with good deeds and brilliant
triumphs.
BILL M'KINIEY TALKS.
Governor Mckinley spoke next. He
began his address by saying no political
party can long hold public confidence
which bases it's claims to confidence on
the disappointments of the people.
This, he said, had been the case with
the Democratic party for more than
thirty years. Ali through these wears
the Democratic party had been predict
ing the failure of Republican policies.
| until now, when they declare that the
tariff of 1890 is a failure, and will bring
| distress upon the American people.
Another thing about the Democratic
party, he said, is that when it gets into
power it is disappointment, and to the
honest and weil-meaning Democrats, a
humiliation. The campaign of 1890 was
pile of woes which were to follow the
doings Of the fifty-first congress. They
won on the prediction by alarming the
people and pledging themselves to tear
up, root and branch, all evil legislation.
He declared the Democrats were fur
ther today from disturbing the tariff law
than ever.
Governor Mckinley closed with a
hearty endorsement of Harrison's e admi-
nistration.
