lican party Of Ohio stands ready, in its unity
of nurpose and leadership, to repeat them. The
great meeting with which the campaign opened,
NJ which Senator Sherman presided, ana Gov
orror Mckinley. Ex-Governor Foraker and Gov
ernor.tbat-is-tobe Bushnell spoke, most eifectu-
o,,v rcfutcd the stories Of Republican discord
with which the Democrats have delighted ana
deIuded themselves Senator Sherman opened
by stating that the party stood pledged by lis
State Convention to elect Asa Bushnell Gov
crnor. TO elect Joseph d. Foraker senator III
Mace of Mr. BrIce. and 10 send united deleSa-
ton in favor Of the nomination OF william NC
KInley for President. General Bushnell repeat
Oh the same declaration. Governor Mckinney
warmly urged the election OF Foraker 10 the
Senate and Foraker demanded victory 'that
"will inspirit Republicans everywhere, ana war
"rant the hope and expectation that next year
"Oho will be honored by the selection OF Gov
"ernor Mckinley to Lead us to National TIL
''umph'
The leaders were equally united and hearty In
their declaration Of the principles and purposes
of the party Properly each gave special atten-
ton in his speech TO separate Dranch OF 'he
subiect but all declared the same policy without
reservation or the least want OF harmony All
rlored in the growth and prosperity OF the coun-
try for many years under the Republican pol
lev. and demanded a return 10 that policy as tue
only way to restore prosperity in future Sen
otor Sherman said regarding the money ques-
| ton:
The Republican party during thirty years OF power
| furnished for the first time truly American cur
rency 1t swept from the field the entire system OF
| State bank paper and produced National currency
| al hy he Fg.
u,lIv lifted to par in gold. and notes OF National
| banks secured by the deposit in the treasury OF
| United States bonds. so well secured that rot
dollar has been lost by the holders OF these notes
II has coined and maintained at par with soid 81
ynr coins amounting TO $500OO00O several times as
| much as were in circulation at any former period
| Though silver has declined In market Vaiue com
pared with gold, yet both silver ana gold ana al
| kinds OF PAPER money Issued by the Government
| or by the National banks have been maintained at
| mar with each other All this benefcent policy Is
| now threatened by the Democratic party ana we
| have the sorry spectacle OF the employment by the
| Administration OF syndicate ot foreign and domes-
| tic bankers buying bonds Of the United states at
| less than their market value upon condition that
| they will protect the Government or the lnlted
| states from demands for gold for United states
| notes.
| All the speakers repeated the declaration mat
the Republican party should maintain honest
money In future as 1t had in the past. Governor
| Mckinley showed that the present tariff faiicd
TO produce needed revenue; that at no time un-
der b,e act Of 1890 down TO the Inauguration or
! Cleveland was the revenue deficient or the gold
reserve impaired; that the activity in business
Is now chiefly confined TO those branches OF
"industry which the Democratic party was
forced TO leave with some protection notably
.aron and steel; that there were no indications
"of return 10 prosperity until after the election
"of 1894 >with It's Republican victories; that
everv laborer knows for himself the difference
bs,ween the wages he now receives and the
uoces no did receive under Republican laws,
and added
Mr. Brlce will not be long IN discovering that the
farmers of the OF Ohio do not accept the law
~ the trusts and combinations the final settle
mont Of this great economic question. This subject
| ran well be left with the intelligent farmers OF
| Ohio Fortunately. with a majority in the Reubii-
can House Of the LIVth Congress, no furtner iesls
lat,on can be had in the direction OF free trace Tor
| the next two years. and no unfrendly legislation
need be feared. None is feared This Is the pnsi-
ness mans cup OF consolation
| II will be noticed that while all the speakers
demanded return TO the Republican policy OF
full protection. none urged a restoration, as inc
precise form or measure Of protection now re-
ouired Of the act Of 1890 In all its details. Ex'
Governor Foraker arraigned Senator Brice Tor
the free wool provision. quoting the declaration
Of the chairman Of the Democratic Convention
last year. for the final passage OF the wool
"c,ause. when by one word he could have de-
"feated II. more credit is due to the Junior Sen
"otor from Ohio Calvin S. Brice, than to any
.other influences or to all other influences COM
"Mned" Mr. Foraker commented thus: The
| "sheep of Ohio are being slaughtered at the rate
"of more than 100000 per year, or about 1000
~ day This Is due to the fact that the shrink
age in their value and In the value OF their
wool. Is so great that sheeprasing and wool
"growing have become Improbable. 1t means
"the loss of millions Of dollars to the farmers OF
"tbis State without any compensating Deneht
| "whateyer" And as to the boast that Senator
Brice will carry the Legislature II 1t costs him
every cent he Is WORTH Mr. Foraker said: THE
"neople OF Ohio owe II 10 themselves TO resent
"the mpuiaton that one OF the highest omces
"In their power to bestow is TO be sold In The
market like chattel"
With Republicans thus thoroughly and heart
| ,Iv united there should be no doubt whatever
~ an overwhelming victory in Ohio. The effect
| NJ such n victory would be great In other States
where Republicans have harder battles 10 night;
| and the people OF Ohio, eager TO secure the fore
| most Mace in the allotment Of honors next year.
con doubtless be trusted this year not to faii pe
hind their best cndeavors for Republican prin-
ciples.
