| Campbell stood up; and 1t stood up when
| Mr.. Campbell broke loose. He was kept
,rying 10 speak for nearly three minutes
| while the assembiage was cheering and
hurrahing for everything In SIGHT;
| Eventually he began: mir. President,
| gentlemen OF the Interstate Democratic
| Association, friends and feilow-citizens.'
| Then there was another ovation, in which
| all manner OF slogans were sung out, the
| last heard being that of man with the
| voice of a bIacksmith's bellows, who cred;
| ..oh, he's all right"
Yes bows, I'm all right continued
Mr.. Campbell The only trouble with me
| is that I am little bewildered. When
accepted this invitation, thought l was
doing Christian duty"
A voice: You mean a Democraticduty.
PASSAGE oB REPARTEE.
| "well, yes, a Democratic Christian duty.
| I thought I would arrive here Just about
the time the Republican convention had
adlourncd and made its nomination. Icon
| sequently expected that every Republican
| in the city would he out on the streets with
| a band, a torchlight and Mckinley badge.
| 1 supposed that the Democrats would have
| fled from the city and gathered down here
| few in numbers for consolation. But as
| said am bewiidered. can't understand
myself at ALL In the language OF dis
tlngulSned Democratic congressman 1 uon

But when l got here l was informed
that there hadn't been even drum, not
a funeral note over the obsequies at st.
Louis. I am therefore glad to see before
me meeting that could only be eGuallet.
by a Democratic campaign meeting in
| Ohio. Now, ladies and gentlemen, that
much of my speech is entirely extemrora-
neous."
Governor Campbell, after referring to
the late fashion of silence in Ohio on the
other political side, referred to his manu-
script, which he followed closely. except.
every now and then, he would interpolate.
some things suggested by the remarks
of the crowd or the occasion.
HIS ESTIMATE OF MKINLEY.
A very strong part of it was the estimate
of Mckinley by other public men than
himself. among which estimates he read
that Of Chandler and Chandier's use OF an
editorial OF The Times in tisat connection
which the Senator real in the Senate.
There were some gold men, OF course. in
the crowd and at one time they interrupted
the speech with cries and other obstructive
tactics, all. however, in perfect good humor.
man near the reporters table said that
these objections wcrelei by yex-Congressman
Turner. This occurred at that part OF the
speech in which Mr.. Campbell referred to
the money question. his position on that
being similar to what was printed from
him in yesterdays Evening Times.
When he read that sentence there were
cries OF:
..No straddle. TO straddle: are you for 16
to 1; out with it Campbell and OTHER
such Interruptions.
MIR. Campbell waited till it was all over
and said quietly:
There is nothing in the world tina makes
speech go better than everybody helping
a little; but in order that there may he
no misunderstanding as to what l have
said will read that sentence all over
again. This was done and there were
no further interruptions. MIR. Campbell
closed with the cheering of whole mass
regardless of straddle or no stradd.e.
The following is a synopsis of the more
striking of his utteraDces:
GOV. CAMPBELL's ADDRESS.
After brief complimentary iutroduc-
ton Gov Campbell said:
s'It has become all too common In these
latter days for gentlemen connected with
the Federal government to forget, or
disregard. their legitimate obligations to
the political party which entrusted them
with power. Therefore, to one who comes
from tue wild and breezy West, where 4
Democrat is a Democrat, whether in office
or not, it is a fruitful source OF pleasure
to see so many office holders of his party
ready to step out before the world even
in the District OF Columbia and openly,
yea exultantiy. profess the faith that is
in them.
1t would be tar FROM truth or patriotism
to despise, oppose, or sneer at a justly
founded and properi administered civil
service. but for that perverted form, which
encourages or uef1lhfs men TO ignore or
reuouuce political allegiance or activity,
there should be nothing but condemnation.
Only through the clash OF con
tending parties can come salu tary ma
tionai growth and abiding national pros
pefity."
He then paid q high compliment 70 the
motto OF the Interstate Democratic Az
sociation. 1.-THE Democratic party. 10
