Mr.. storer spoke as iolIows:
THE Republican party goes before
Ohio and tho whole country not In
penitcnce, but In confidence and 10 SELF
respect. Deep has been tho distress,
and profoundly as we feel the sutrerings
OF q great people, remorse and shame
are not the lot OF the Republican party.
10 our country, in this hour Of gloom.
Republ!canism can utter with truth.
Thou canss not say | did it. Not in
vain glory or party emulation, but in
sorrow and in sympathy we can show
that our hands are clean. How Is il
with the Democratic party!
mot only the distinguished light OF
Democracy in the Seventh district Of
Kentucky. but the Democratic admin
lstration in every congressional! district
in the United States in this year con-
Quoting n campaign Of contrition, beg
ging Tor conformation first and re-eleC-
lion at;erward. 1t has done nothing to
be proud OF, and it cannot mako the
American people forget and forgive
what it had done to be ashamed OF.
From the moment OF Cleveland's iuau-
gu'ation, when Democracy stepped into
full power, there has been but II idea
in which that chaotic mass OF incom-
potency to govern, called the admins
traiiou. has been agreed upon. They
were to mako an organized raid on
everything the Republicans had done
or were charged with having done,
1.-THE coinage laws were to be modi-
fed or repealed, the election laws were
to be repealed, the tariff law was to be
repealed because they were Republican.
The couutry's prosperity was doomed
because |. had been given by the hands
and brains OF Republicans. The Democ-
racy owned by tho south was to be the
executioner Of that prosperity. First,
the coinage law was repealed. Where
arc those glorious days of Democratic
prosperity that were waiting TO come ct
the moment the Sherman law was out
OF the way? Who has seer them? The
Republican law disappeared, but the
Democratic party remained. That was
the cause. That was the nightmare
that has squeezed the breath and is
squeezing tho life out Of the capital and
labor and business OF the country.
sTSs OF COMMUNISM.
"Then tho Republican party had been
guilty Of what was generally known as
"a foreign policy Cleveland and hi?
secretary OF state took up Hawaii
where the matter had been left by Mr..
Harrison. 1t has been the most dis
graceful episode OF American diploma
cy. Tnen tho Democratic party found
prosperity and that mus: BIO destroyed,
because it was Republican. 1t was not
hard to do. Tariff iinkeing was found
eficacious. The country has weighed
the Democratic party inthe balance II
found it waiting. 1t is turning to the
Republican party again and saying.
como back and help me out Out OF
disaster into prosperity. out OF idloness
into work. out OF starvation into plenty,
out OF Iawlessness into peace. AND not
in contrition. but In seli-conhdence;
not in shame, but In triumph Will
march back into the control OF the ma.
toms well being that mighty army OF
Republicanism; that army that fights
for its own people, and its own home
and not against them that stands Tor
America against tho whole world. And,
US ever at tho head will march Ohio, al.
WAYS the leader; Ohio, tho state where
Rcpublicanism was born, tho state OF
Foraker, OF Sherman and OF Mckinley"
