He referred to the calamity yen OF
| Mckinley and his friends as an eHorc
to keep up the old scare on the part oI
the people, and to have them DelieVe
that they would 60 to rack ana rum
unless they continued Republican RUE.
But he said it wouldn't work. The peo-
pie were too busy, and the old-ume
| prosperity was coming back. 10 Illus
trate Just what the revival or business
was. he instanced the fact that ne was
interested in a West Virginia rallroau
which had been graded FOR some llhe
and the ties were down, and lumDer anu
slaves piled along the track and coal
tipples ready for operation, and yet ms
Company could not proceed to 40 Dusl-
ness because the rail mills were
so CROWDED WITH ORDERS
that the rails could not be made. In
like manner, a street railway, at Char-
lesion. in which the speaker was IN
terested. was unable to have little
order of 450 tons of rails filled, although
thew were sorely needed. That was on
illustration from his own experience,
showing the magnitude OF the business
revival.
Some one in the audience asked what
the Democracy had done for the over
worked railroad men. In reply, the
Governor said:
I'll tell you. As a result of Repub-
lican laws. myself and Governor Nc
Kinley had to send troops with muskets
in their hands TO shoot down starving
working men, clamOring for work and
living wages. That is one thing Re
publicanism brought about, while am
informed by your Attorney General, MIR.
Fairbanks, tha. here in Ohio q Demo-
cratic Legislature

for railroad men,"
He contrasted the we'll filed treasury
and low taxation in West Virginia,
Lnder a Democratic administration,
with the high taxes and bankrupt treas
ury Of Ohio. and asked his hearers to
make the contrast ana draw their own
inference.
Governor Campbell telegraphs me-
he said 'that he wants me to come TO
Cleveland. There is no need Of my go
ing to Cleveland. There is no need OF

of Ohio. The people here are aroused.
The smoke of q thousand chimneys and
the hum Of countless industries tell me
of revived business, Of a demand for

GENERAL PROSPERITY.
The people are aroused, and I can hear
the tread Of their marching feet. They

(Cheers)
Again he said:
Il know some Of our people, over in
| West Virginia. are saying am not very
much of a Democrat. Bless your souls,
nv friends. will be voting the Demo-
cratic ticket after you kickers are dead
and gone. Don't you worry about me.

ONLY A SIDE ISSUE,
however. I carried it, once. and I will

Governor NIacCorkle spoke for nearly
an hour and a half, alternating SOLID
D0litical facts with good stories, and
was cheared and applauded to the echo
again ana again. His peroration was
an earnes. and eloquent one, and
aroused the greatest enthusiasm. He
euloz.zed Ex-Governor Campbell as
man who was battling for Democracy
and .he people almost s.ngle-handed,
and warned his hearers that Ohio was
the battle ground in 1896, and that
much depended upon the party in the
Buckeye State. Referring for mo-
men. to himself, he said:
"They say l am not a Democrat. One
Of the papers over the river says that.
Don't you believe It. When the needle
forsakes the pole, when the night fails
ito follow the day. when the king forgets
his crown. and The brother allows his
brother 90 down, then l may fOrsake
the Democracy, but no, before. We're
going TO beat EN- over there, by 10000
majority and don't YOU forget it, when
the time comes. And We'll elect James
E. Campbell over here by $4,000. The
Governor says himself that VIII be the
result, and l believe It.
THE NEXT SPEAKER
was Hon. J. W. Scott, Of Illinois, who,
Notwithstanding the lateness Of the
hour. made a rafting speech. Amid
/ the cheers Of his audience he eXhorted

Fairbanks. the Democratic candidate for
| Attorney General. who spoke until after
eleven o'clock, holding his audience
