CINCINNATI, Oct 1.-The Democratic
campaign opened in Ohio today with a
meeting at Woodsdale Island Bank,
near hamilton. Butler county. 1t was
estimated that fully 5000 people were
in attendance. There was disappoint-
ment at the absence of Bourke Cochran,
who had been expected to come. Hon.
ID. Marshall, of Dayton, Ohio, presided
After a short address by w. A. Taylor.
candidate for secretary of state i'm Ohio,
Hon. Adlal Stevenson was introduced.
He was warmly cheered, although until
his introduction there were not many
who recognized him. Mr.. Stevenson
said he brought good news from North
Carolina and Virginia, as well as from
Illinois. He spoke hopefully also of
success even in Iowa. In giving some
reasons why Mr.. Cleveland should be
elected, he said:
His administration is admitted even
by Republicans to have been an honest
one. There were no scandals attached
to any of his appointments. The United
States bonds were paid as fast as they
matured. He restored nearly hun
dred million acres of ground from
wrongful holders
To the People.
He turned over the government with
almost 100,000,000 in the treasury in
money that was saved by an economical
administration OF affairs. The question
then was what shall be done with the
surplus. Now it is where shall the
the government? This year the
estimated deficit will be $50
000.OoO. and the treasury is
actually confronted with bankruptcy.
The cause of this is the lavish, reckless,
yea, even unnecessary appropriations
by the billion-dollar congress. The
present house is made to appear eX-
travagant because, in addition to the
necessary expenditure, it is forced to
pay an item of S72,O00,000 left by the
billion-dollar house, and has added to it
S32, 600. 900 by Republican senate. while
the Mckinley tariff cuts off $50,000,000
OF the national revenue"
He went on to say that the one in
stance where the Republicans had re-
moved the tariff, namely. on sugars,
they had by the same bill taken $751; 00,-
900 a year for fifteen years from the
people to pay the sugar growers bounty
"a clear case of
Making One Class Rich
at the expense of the country. There
would be as great justice" said he, lin
paying all equal amount of bonus to the
corn raiSerS of China"
He traced the history of the increase
of the tariff from 1916, when the Walker
bill was introduced, to the present time,
and deducted from it that the present
tariff is AZ per cent in place of the 10
per cent added then. 1.-THE increase
was started" he said. "in 1861 in the
Morrill, tariff, which was justified as a
war tariff, to be reduced as soon as the
extraordinary expenses were cut OFF,
He asked why it is the high tariff
makes high wages, that the wages in
the Western country are three times as
much as the wages of the Eastern sea-
board ''Tariff does not regulate
wages" ne continued; "they are regu-
lated by the law of supply and demand,
which is above all legislation. Wages
are higher here because the lively Am
erican methods of labor are more pro-
ductive than that of the liStless Euro
pean workman" LIN dealing with
The Force BslI
he pronounced it not a dead issue, and
declared that its enactment would
put into the field on election day an
army of 100000 federal officehoders to
be paid from the treasury of the gov
ernment.
EXGov. Campbell, who was among
his neighbors, made short and witty
speech, confined mostly to sallies at the
audience as some would prompt him
with question. He spoke of Mr..
Steyenson's record as creator of DEM
ocratic postmasters, relating an incident
where the present candidate for vice
president had, as favor to him Camp
belly, decapitated siXty-five Republican
p0stmasters in two minutes. He re-
garded man of that sort as vigorous
and true Democrat. When the cheers
following this statement had subsidized,
MIR. Stevenson rose and said he consid-
cred that as the highest compliment he
had received In his whole life.
Following Mr.. Campbell were Hon.
George w. Houk, of Dayton, and c. L.
Greve, of Cincinnati. The Brice club,
of Lima, 200 strong; the Clark county
club, the Grayehill club, of Dayton,
