The meeting was called to order by
Hon. c. j. Heiniein, candidate for rep
resentatiye, who named Mr.. Thomas
LLOYD, a roller for chairman. Mr..
Lloyd introduced the speaker in brief
but neat speech, and voiced the senti-
meuts of Thousands of other working
snen. He stated that the people pres
Gnt had been brought together to lis
'len to the questions which are OF great
interest to all American citi2ens. That
we are faced to such times as these and
should wake up and see that they are
changed and that the workingmen of
Ohio should give their hearty support
to the champion OF protection and give
him such an overwhelming majority
that the Democrats at Washington will
be forewarned.
Captain Danford spoke about one
hour. He said, AZ your chairman has
well said, it behooves the people OF this
country to come together and improve
the condition Of things. An extra ses-
sion OF Congress was called to meet to
consider the condition OF the country.
The last Congress left no unpassed
bills. As Cleveland termed it in writ
ing to n friend, he has Congress on his
hands. Ono year ago, there was no
necessity Tor an extra session Of Con-
gross, certainly none that called on
President Harrison to call one. The
people having determined last Novcm-
ber that there should be change, and
early this year they began to feel that a
change had come that they had not
looked for. An iron manufacturer re-

Congress met and they are still in
session and laboring with the currency
question. The repeal OF the Sherman
law will have very little, II anything, to
do with the business OF the country.
When the caimNnity came one dollar
was as good as the other. The condi-
ton OF the currency had nothing to do
with the condition OF affairs last spring

When the panic OF 1857 came money
was almost as worthless Us blank paper.
Now it is no loss to you; it is as good in
one state as another. 1t is the inten-
ton OF the Democrats TO give us state
banks. In the last thirty years the
policy OF protecting the American in
