Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1893-08-24

quent orator. He began saying that II
was fighting Bob Lewis, after whom
Lucas county was called, who made It
possible 10 hold the convention where
Toledo now stands.
The convention was honored he said,
by the presence ofa Democrat whose
father was soldier In the revolution
ary war. The son was fighting the
same fight against wrong, misrule and
oppression that his father fought near
ly a century ago. He referred to Judge
Scott, of Toledo.
Continuing, Col. Taylor paid his re-
spects to his political opponents, whose
only ammunition, he said, was to cast
a stigma on the judgment Of the
people who had the audacity to elect
Grover Cleveland president. What
would you think, he asked, Of the
burglar who set up the defense that he
had not begun burglarizing until the
people elected Democratic president?
What would you think ofthe banker
who after robbing bis depositors would
turn to his victims and say with a
smirk and a sneer, Well, you elected q
Democratic president. You wanted a
chance and you have got it. This ex-
actly was what the Republicans are
doing. They robbed the people and
now fling, with insulting iusolence,
the fact that they exercised their judg-
ment In electing Democratic presi-
dent as the cause of their crimes.
Since coming to Toledo he (Taylor)
had been attacked by one Of the Re-
publican moral engines-the Blade
he had been called liar and worse.
Coming from such a source he consid-
cred 1t compliment. The Republican
editors Of Ohio had agreed not to say
anything of the Seventeenth assembly
lest 1t might court discussion and con-
sequent exposure of the most outrage
GUS robbery ever perpetrated on a
people.
The editor of the Blade had broken
this agreement and now the cat was
out of the bag, so to speak. The Blade
admitted that only 10000, 900 of the
peoples money had been looted. Well,
when a Republican organ admitted
even one-third the truth there was
hopes of better times.
The 80 years Of Republican rules in
this country, he said, was nothing
more or less than 80 years of high
handed Republican robbery.
In conclusion, Col. Taylor predicted
the election not only of the senatorial
ticket, but of the entire state ticket.
Gen. Rice was called for and made
another good speech. esaid it would
be folly for him to follow his eloquent
friend, Col. Taylor. He predicted the
election Of the senatorial and entire
state ticket.
The roll call of counties for the nomi-
nation of candidates was next in order.
A motion to recess until Up. m. was
lost.
Fulton county had no candidate.
Neither had Henry.
Patrick Henan&h in good speech,
nominated Rudolpa Brand, of Lucas.
Judge Moore, of Putnam, made an
excellent speech in nominating M. E.
Mcclure. He denounced Mckinley
ism in unmeasured terms, and predict
ed a sweeping victory for the ticket
whoever be nominated.
Henry county had no candidate but
seconded the nomination Of Mr. Nc
Clure.
Barton Smith seconded the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Mcclure, as did also Mr..
Canary, of Wood, in behalf of the
delegates from Wood county.
Fred P. Whitley, of Hancock, nomi
mated Hon. Fremont AFFORD, of Han
cock, in rafting speech.
This closed the nomination and the
first ballot resulted:
