HAD A COW IN JACKSON,
aud he passed there as great constitu-
tional authority. That is how be came
into conflict with Ben 0xley, who was
formerly Adjutant General. Mr.. Camp
bell used to get up aud interrupt speak
ers on constitutional law points, and
always got off: Now, are you willing to
risk your professional standing as q
LAWYER on that?' He kept sthat upHor
some time, until Oxley got tired oiEand
determined to head him of. JAe next
time Mr.. Campbell made Il speech
Mr.. OILY got up any interrupt
ed him. Mr.. Campbell felt important
he had been Nerrupted-until
Mr.. Oxley, initiating Mr.. Campbelrs
manner. asked, Are you willing TO risk
vour reputation as a sewing machine
agent on thaHpoiht?' After that there
was little fore heard of Mr. Campbell.

well, what have We in opposition to
that ticket? There's Mr. Ha6dlan, over
there. [Applause.l He's
AN HONEST AND HoNoEED CITIZEN,
and q wheel horse Of Democracy. He
was always a Democrat, and always
foremost citizen, and one who has con-
tributed time. voice, precept and
money to the Democratic cause. de

from good old Democratic stock. He

Main street to-day, and every Republican
on the street ran into a store. Laugh
ter. Mr.. Woods has served in the
Legislature. He was Speaker of the
House on momentous occasion. and at
all times has stood for the people and
Democracy. Even an A. 2. a. might

Then there's John B. Wilson. Ap-
plause. You all know John. lie is g

and the other half lawyer. He has been
| in the Legislature, and made a good
representative, and can challenge a com
pariSon with any man on the Republi-
cen ticket.
Then we have our handsome friend
| Fred Strausser, who is modestly sitting
over there behind Mr.. Handlan. He's
modest, but he's the best looking man
/ on the ticket. He had good looks,
good manners and good Democracy.
| These things are all united in Mr..
/ Strausser--a representative Dem
ocrat workingman of the coun-
Ity OF Ohio-and you will
not be disappointed when be goes TO
Charleston. Applause. II the inter-
| ests of labor ever need looking after,
Mr.. Strausser is the man 10 do 1t, and
! not Abe Stamm. 1t will not be common
sense TO send Republican down there;
a Democrat is the thing. Republicans
will not be able to influence legislation.
IL takes a Democrat to do it.
! Common sense, aside from poll
tics, should teach the workingmen
that Democratic representative is the
one they want in a Democratic Legisla-
ture. 1t will not do to send an unknown
and an untried aud an uninfuential
man there. Suppose bill like that 20

Brady, and Abe Stamm, aud S. q.
Smith, and Alex. Campbell have? Not
bit! It's dollars and cents
TO our people, and some such bill
comes up at every session, hav-
ing its origin on the demands Of the
people of the mountain counties, who
want our money to aid in the educa-
/ ton OF their youth. That one thing
/ should cllnch the question, and we
should send good men there, who will
! look after these vital matters" APP
