The Democrats opened the campaign in
this state here this afternoon. Crowds of
people were on the grounds long before
the trains from Cincinnati began to deliver
their cargoes of uniformed Democratic
clubs. Nice-presidential Candidate Steven
son and other speakers were taken to tho
grounds by special train. The exercises
opened with an old-fashioned picnic.
Later Stevenson. ex-ciov. Campbell and
others delivered addresses. There was
much disappointment nj the inability of
Bourke Cochran to be present.
Mr.. Stevenson in his address said he
brought good news frem North Carolina
and Virginia, as we'll as from Illinois He
spoke hopefully of success in Iowa. Speak
ing of the reasons for CleyeIand's re-elec-
ton. he said:

Bonds were paid as fast as matured. and uear.y

the government with almost tit0,u0j. .0l0 ia thu
treasury in money saved by the economical soi-
min nstFatioa OF affairs. The question then
was: What is 10 be done with the surplus"

Republicans removed the tariff, namely, sugar.,
they had By that same bill taken si5.o0ocuJ a
year for fifteen years from the people to pay tho
sugar growers bouniy--a clear case of making
one class rich at the expense of the country.
He declared that the tariff does not regulate
wages. Tnev are regulated by rhe law OF sup
ply and demand Wages are higher here ce-
cause the lively American methods Of labor are
more productive than those OF the listless
European wo-kmen. He declared that the eu-
ac.ment of the force bill would pu, into the
field on ei-c,ion day an army OF 10000 federal
ot'ieeholders 10 be paid from the treasury of the
government.
Ex-Gov. Campbell made harmonious
speech. in which he spoke of Stevensons
record as a creator of Democratic post
masters, relating an incident where the
present candidate for vice president had
as a favor to him (Campbell) decapitated
sixty i've Republican postmasters in two
minutes. He regarded man of that sort
as vigorous and true Democrat. When
the cheers following this statement sub
sided Stevenson arose and said he con-
sidered that the highest compliment he
had received in his whole life. A number
of other speakers were heard ard the at
fair was a great success.
