WooDsDALE ISLAND. o., Sept. 12.-The
Republican campaign opened here Satur-
day afternoon with an immense crowd of
people gathered together from all points
along the Miami valley, who came to listen
to speeches from Hon. Whitelaw Reid and
other prominent leaders of the party. Mr..
Reid began by saying that this meeting
opened the ca npaign in the old Ohio way.
He referred to the rock-ribbed Democracy
of this (Butler) county, and laid tribute
to the late Lewis d. Campbell. He eulo-
gized the old Miami university, which, he
said, "taught not merely letters, but
patriotism" and speaking of its eminent
alamni, said that Harrison led them all.
He continued: "The Democrats are
greatly troubled. They say that Harrison
is a cold man. There is scarcely doubt
but that he does cast chill upon them.

That task is undertaken by two from
among those younger sons of Ohio who
have of late so borne her standard to the
front. The Republican party under this
administration has matured, enforced and
magnificently vindicated a sound protec-
tive tariff, in the interest of our own coun-
try and our own countrymen. Our op-
ponents wish to destroy it. We have

wish to destroy it and go back to state
banks and shinplasters. We point to the
prosperity of the country, to the salts
factory management of its affairs at home
and abroad, to the successful workings of
the Mckinley bill and the utter discredit
that has overtaken those who prophesied
its disastrous results. To the liberal re-
wards of labor and the enforcement of the
laws for the equal security of all
other citizens; to the wise, clean, strong
and honest administration, and we sy
that under such circumstances it is lot
good business policy or good common
sense to make change and begin expert

Refers to Perry's Victory
After a eulogy of the president Reid said
he would not attempt to discuss Ohio is
sues, as Mckinley and Foraker would
fully attend to that. He closed with
reference that the day was the date of Per-
RVS victory and that memorable dispatch:
I'VE have met the enemy and they are
| ours" He concluded: In cause as hon
orable, with Mckinley and Foraker and
brave old ,Tohn Sherman at your head, the
sons of Ohio will run up again that old
battle flag, Don't give up the ship When
