GOV. MKINLEY'S ADDRESS.
HE TELLS WHAT WORK THE DEMO
 CRATIC PARTY HAS DONE.

The Administration and tho Proceedings
 of the Present Congress Were Severely
 Denounced to Give Rost to tho
 Business of the Country.
 Findlay, O., Sept. Ex-Governor Mc- Klnley this afternoon inaugurated the fall campaign Of the republican party of Ohio, and the event was signalized by one of the greatest outpourings of the rank and file that the state has ever witnessed. The governor, with sev- eral of the state officers and a battery of artillery as escort, arrived from Co., lumbus shortly before Il o'clock and re- ceived tumultuous reception from the throng of 10000 or more that had been waiting at the depot. Meanwhile the various visiting and local clubs had been getting into line for a parade. and when the governors carriage had taken its position the start was made for the city.
 When the Marvin house was reached Governor Mckinley alighted and from the balcony briefly thanked the multi tude for its reception.
 It was 9 o'clock when the meeting was called to order on the campus of Findlay college. From the platform the special guests looked down upon sea of faces. Governor Mckinley was sup ported on the right by ex-secretary Charles Foster, and on the left by Con- gressman Charles H. Grosvenor. In his speech he said:
 "The administration voted out of power in 1892 was one of the wisest and best the country has ever seen. In obedience to this decree the democratic party has been in supreme control of the government for the past nineteen months, and for the greater part of that tim 1t has been engaged in trying to revise the tariff. This period has given to the American an opportunity for sober reflection, steadied by the discipline of diversity. Even the eyes of the blindest partisans have been opened, and the men who have here tofore never been able to see any good in the republican party and who voted its policy fraud and a robbery are now eager for . reconsideration and change.
 "The extent of the reversal of senti- ment upon the tariff question:" the governor said, "could scarcely be ap- preciated without reference to recent election returns" st E- fs -, Y
 Here he reviewed extensively the re- turns from the elections Of last year and this year, comparing them with the results of 1892, and cited the action recently taken by the sugar planters of Louisiana. He did not know what this action of the sugar men might mean for the future of politics; he did not know, but he felt to commend the men for this patriotic action. He said:
 "They need no assurance of devotion to all the material interests of the south by the republican party. In all its legislation for one-third of century it has never overlooked a single south- ern interest. We welcome to fellowship this great body of American citizens who propose henoeforth to be Ameri- cans and stand up for American inter ests, not in one, but in all sections of our beloved country
 ''This means, unfortunately, a con- stant agitation until the fourth day of March, 1895, at least, and for two years longer after that, unless the people in the election this year, elect republican house of representatives. in which event no further wrecking of our industries or interference with the labor of our people can occur during the admin istration of President Cleveland. What is your verdict to be here in Ohio? A democratic victory means further and longer steps in the direction of free trade, deeper debts and more deadly blows upon our industrial life. Republi- can victory-a republican house of representatives, means that during the closing half of MT. Cleveland's ad- ministration the enemies of the protec- tive system will be unable to success fully wage further warfare upon the prosperity of the country. On which side will you vote-for more war or less war? For renewed attacks on the home industries that are still running, or for more industries at home? For still greater reduction of wages, or more general employment at the old scale of wages? You must answer at the polls"
 Passing to the history of the new tar if law, the governor said the Wilson bill, if 1t had become a law, would have created an annual deficiency of from $4o,0o0.00o to $70,000.O Still it would have been a revenue measure ana in conformity to the democratic plat form at least. But the manner of mak- ing the law the country was finally given was enough to condemn 1t. It was hurried through without regard to principle, policy, the public interests or public morals.
 The senator from Arkansas himself told how it was done. Here the state ment of Senator Jones in open senate regarding the matter was quoted, and the speaker continued:
 ''That is to say, he said to the sever- al senators who were unpledged and re- fused to be bound by the plea of the party caucus: What do you want? What is your requirements for voting for this bill? We must pass 8 bill while we have the power. What is the least consideration that will get your voter"
 Not what was the best interests of the people. but what do you want: what do you insist upon, and what Is the least you will take P"
