Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1895-11-02

The JOURNAL. has always brGn proud
of ex.Goy. Foraker, aud we hnve rea-
son to be moud of him. In fact every
citizen, not only OF Ohio, but of the
country at large, has reason to be
proud OF him. His fHme IS not confined
to this common~ralth alone, but he is
to-day q national Iuctor in American
politics, and on all the political Issues
of the day the people know where to
find him. He was twice elected Cover
nor of Ohio and his splendid record is
known to all. In fact he is known the
country over US u fearless leader and in
honoring him by choosing him as the
junior Senator from Ohio, the people
honor themselves by selecting this
peerless American to represent them
in the highest Legislative body OF the
United States.
But he is not yet chosen, and while
the people are resting in the firm be-
lief that be cannot be defeated, in this
very fact rests the great danger.
The fearless stand taken by Foraker
in all matters of public import have
made him some bitter enemies, and
none are more bitter toward him, none
are more anxious for his overthrow,
and none more jealous in their efforts
to defeat him than is President
Cleveland.
1t is we'll known and remembered by
all, especially by the old soldiers. that
when Foraker was GOveno" of Ohio, the
message he sent to Cleveland regarding
the return OF the rebel flags, was Il mes
sage that highly offended hts highness,
the President, and which filled the
| doughty President with hatred for the
| gallant soldier Governor, aud the pres.
ent campaign has offered him an oppor'
tunity in which he can use all his polit
ical machine power for the purpose o
defeating the Ex-Governor for the Sen
ATE, aud thus it is that every Demo
| cratic postmaster in the State is inter
ested in securing the election of Demo
cratic Representatives. and Senators II
Ohio for the purpose of electing tn In
u. S. Senate, one Calvin S Brice, .h
money shark, the railroad wrecker. III
man who is resident of New York
but who represents Ohio in the u S
Senate. He has misrepresented OH:
for one term to the shame and disgrace
OF the party that elected him and tb
insult TO the fair name of Ohio mus
not be repeated.
In order to prevent a repetition Z
this disgrace, the people, and especial
the veteran soldiers, who love thei
} own flag, and who were proud of TIL
trophys they secured from the rebc
horde, and wholove the brave and fcal
less Governor who dared refuse th
President the right to return thos
rebel flags, should march to the poll
and vote for o. p. Norris, for Repr,
sentative, John Hankey, T. j. Ha
} baugh and John Vogt for State Senator
, and thus see TO it that Wood count
r and the 33d Senatorial district send
! the legislature the kind Of men wh
, will vote TO send to the U. S. Senal
y Ex-Governor Foraker, that Soldie
Statesman, the man who is the trl
and courageous friend of the soldie
!, the man who had time and courage
i. 20 down into the hot bed of secessiC
" and rebellion to fight for the preserv
. tion of the union; who retained h
!. loyalty to his constituents when Go
ernor OF Ohio, who has never be'
!. found wanting in any requisite tn
q goes TO make up the honorable, fearle
y and capable statesman, and who wi
g as U. S. Senator, add brilliancy to t
. already bright record OF Ohio state
manship. ~
