 The Ohio democratic campaign was opened with great enthusiasm at Co lumbus on the evening of Saturday, September 2s. A parade of democratic Adherents seven miles in length was one of the features of the event. Ex- Gov. Campbell made the opening speech and among other things he said:
 T congratulate you. citizens of Columbus, thrift of your city Never has labor been 70 fully employed or at more remunerative wages, and the money so earned now pur- ehases s5 per cent more of the necessaries of life than ever before. Never have so many manufacturing establishments been pressed beyond their capacity with lucrative contracts But not alone is Columbus to be congratu- lated The whole state of Ohio is sharing in this even distribution of prosperity, happiness and wealth
 Mot only Is the city of Columbus to be con- Eratulated, not only Is the state of Ohio to be congratulated, but the whole country rises up and calls the Wilson bill blessed American carpets are selling in Administer. I hold in my hand piece of cloth sent to me by the Amer loan consul at Bradford, with the words:
 "'I inclose you a small sample of the Amer
 
 of which have ordered suit
 "Bradstreet's says.that the recent advance in the production and price in iron and steel Is the greatest boom in the iron and steel trade ln our history. and. as early as July 6, printed the following regarding the increase in wages up to that date:
 "'The extent of the full voluntary advance h wages reported within month or two has outgrown the resources of voluntary statis- tical bureaus. which have endeavored to keep track of them, latest advtoes being that nor @ than 100000 industrial workers have received sn advance averaging about 10 per cent
 "The Iron Age recently contained a glowing account of the steel works of the states of the central west and says: The tremendous pres- sure to get orders filled at the mills has never been equaled and the demand far exceeds any . thing heretofore known. and it is utterly out of the question to meet the demand
 "Dun's Review reports a general and rapid Improvement in markets and prices in all di- rections, and says that 1t has come now to be the only question in what branches. if any, the rise in prices and the increase in business may 60 too far
 Another high authority notes almost phe- nomenal improvement in the sales of dry goods, clothing boots and shoes and other staples which the country buys freely when prosperous, but scanttly when reverse coudi- tons prevail
 "The iron dealers and manufacturers of iron structural work at Pittsburgh are complain ing of o car famine. The iron industry has so revived that cars cannot be secured to remove the goods The Carnegie company has been forced to begin the erection of ap immense car factory in which to build and repair it's own cars.
 The voluntary increase of wages to the em- ployes in the copper mines of a single county in Michigan amounts to S600,0 900 a year. Even some of the republican newspapers in Ohio have discovered that the country is prosper ous and happy under the Wilson tariff, and the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette of Sep tember has the following:
 The voluntary increase of wages still goes on in many of the manufacturing centers, and this Is an excellent indication of tendency that cannot be accounted merely temporary. The indications displayed for several months are being confirmed by these voluntary in- creases, and the news of the enlargement and strengthening of lines of business
 .'In the face of all this the republican nomi- nee for senator said in his Springfield speech: To begin with, the whole subject of the tariff will have to be revised on protection lines We ere moved to ask who are the .tariY tink- ers!' Who would tear down and destroy the prosperity of the country? Who. for the pur- pose of temporary partisan advantage would again unsettle business as they unsettled 1t by She tariff act of 1890 and throw the country again Into an industrial panicf It is not the republican party of the union which threatens existing prosperity. because the great leaders outside of the state of Ohio have forever repu- tiaco6 return to the Mckinley bill or to any legislation akin to it. It Is not the voice of the entire republican party of Ohio which clamors Tor industrial destruction. for the Sandusky Register, an ably-edtted and leading journal of this state. in recent issue blurted out this truth: pss
 We have reached a point In our career when the great majority of republicans and business men generally. whether republicans pr democrats, will oppose any sweeping changes in the tariff And further says: We may as we'll face the music and the facts first IS last
 Another republican newspaper in Ohio TO- Dukes the attempt to divert attention from 'Coxism' and legislative corruption by saying shat the people will listen to no demsgogic 7aportngs about great national issues, and they will turn with imparience from all ap- peals to mere partisanship
 The few men, candidates for office in Ohio, who have declared for return to the McKin- ley law for a tinkering of the tarin and an ebbing of the tide of prosperity. will go down 10 defeat at this years election in this state, and their hobby will be relegated to the rear in the next national republican convention They are the .kalamity kroakers' now How pitiful and how ridiculous they look as they sit croaking in the sunshine, their feeble voices drowned by the joyous whistles of re- viving industriesi
 What farce 1t all was-that pretense at the Springfield opening of the republican campaign that the country was suffering under the Wilson tarif But the screaming part of the farce, which convulsed the entire people of Ohio with mirth, was the pretended reconciliation between the two gentlemen whom the Zanesville convention had nomi- mated respectively for United States senator ax.A sASs T-ts Ck- the nomination of United States senator was concerned. 1t is possible that the convention may not have exceeded its Jurisdiction. but the nomination for president of the
