BuSHNELL'S ADDRESS
In formally opening the celebration
meeting in the big tent, Governor Bush
nell, among other things, said:
My Fellow Citizens-The formal open
ing of the Republican campaign in this
great and loyal Republican state of Ohio
occurred in the city of Columbus, Au-
gust Is. The vast crowd that assembled
on that day heard words of eloquence
and of sound and convincing arguments
uttered by such men as John Sherman,
Joseph B. Foraker and Stewart L.Wood-
ford of New York, each one a master
and Republican. the peer of any of that
political faith. This splendid meeting,
today, therefore, cannot be called cam
paign opening.
AS a matter of fact, even that which
was formally declared to be such and
which was held at Columbus was not
an opening. The campaign opened
months ago when it became certainty
who the leader of the Republicans would
be. Even beyond that time it was OPEN
ed, for in the depressing year of this
Democratic administration there have
been many political events which might
be we'll designated as openings of the
campaign of 1896 Since the ST. Louis
convention the people of the country
have not waited for the arrangements
of party managers, but have opened the
campaign on their own account; each
stump has been the rostrum for elo-
quence and around them have gathered
crowds great and small. But this meet
ing today has been inspired by the idea
of instituting pilgrimage to the Repub-
lican shrine. 1t is really the ratification
of the many triumphs that have been
achieved by the Republican candidate
since he began receiving those who call
to congratulate him and themselves
upon the work of the Republicans in
their national convention. I am sure
that all of us cen say that we are glad
to be so near our candidate as to con-
tribute little more to the busy political
life of this city of Canton. I need not
call your attention to tine sweeping
unanimity which has met this idea of
making the pilgrimage to this city. The
vast numbers of Republicans who have
gathered here today speak for that point.
CULLOM TALKS
Senator Cullom, after lengthy dis
custom of the tariff question, took up the
money issue, saying In part:
Mr.. Altgeld and other Democratic lead
ers say the present dollar is 200 cent
dollar while the dollar before 1873 was
a 100 cent dollar In the first place
the statement is not correct, but if it
were which would you have-a dollar
worth 200 or dollar worth so cents?
They say nobody ever saw a so cent dol
lar. Nobody ever saw an American dol
lar in coin that would not circulate any
where in this country and many for
eign countries at its nominal value
Suppose it is true that our dollars are
200 cent dollars. How many of these
have we in circulation? According to
the last statement we have more than
sl,5o0,OG0,c COO consisting of gold, silver
and paper, One dollar is just as good
as another, per capita circulat ton of
nearly S22. If Bryan, Altgeld and their
associates We're right then our money
IN circulation is equal to three billions.
or about S44 per capita. AS their plat
form only calls for $50 per capita they
ought to be satisfied with $41.
Let us see what would happen in the
event of the success of the nominees of
the Chicago convention. Our gold would
leave US, or be boarded, that is certain
by a contraction of $500, 900, OOO The re-
mainder of our money would shrink in
purchasing power equal to the difference
between the par value of the dollar and
the bullion price of silver The differ
ence is now about AZ cents. So that our
circulation would be contracted to that
extent and we would have less than 80
per capita in circulation of actual money
where we now have S22.
Mr.. Bryan says we would no doubt
have a panic at first (after the adop-
