 You come from three states of the mightiest government of earth. You come representing diverse occupations and varied cmployments, but you come with q single mission; you come with common purpose, and that purpose is to manifest your devotion to the great prin- ciples of the Republican party and your determination to see that those princi- ples shall triumph on the 3d day of No- vember.
 You come because, as your spokes. men have so well said, you are interested in the welfare and prosperity of the country you love, which you believe will be best subserved by Republican vic tory at the ensuing election, now only little more than three weeks away. You have come because you believe in pro- tective tariff. You believe in that great American policy established at the be. ginning of the government of the United States, which had the approval of nearly all the early statesmen of the country ard of the first President of the United States. George Washington: a policy that has been pursued for more than half the lifetime of the republic, and during all the period that it prevailed we enjoyed the highest prosperity in every enter
 
 pie. You have come here because you are in favor of the supremacy of the law and because you mean to maintain government by law and under the law. You are here because you believe in pub lie and private honesty, and because you do not propose that any part of the pub lie debt of this country shall be repudi- ated in whole or in part.
 "You are here to declare that every obligation of this government is as sa- cred as its flag and that obligation shall be kept and performed. You are here because you want no depreciating or fluc- tuating currency with which to do your business. You are here because you be- lieve in an honest dollar for an honest government and for an honest man. You do not want a dollar that is worth less than 100 cents, for you were taught in your childhood in these great states that an honest dollar had 100 cents in it.
 My fellow citizens, the Republican party is an inspiration and an education. 1 wish every man in this country might read the first platform that the Repub- lican party ever made as n national party in 1856 in the city of Philadelphia. wish that every young man might read it, and I wish that every old Repub- lican might look up the old record and recall it. It reads today more like an inspired prophecy than the declaration of political organization. It declared for the unity of the states and the indis- solubiity of the American Union. It declared for free homes, for free lands, for free speech and it declared for a ! protective tariff. It decreed that the two oceans should be united by rail, the At lantic and the Pacific, and every prom ise that this great platform made has been kept. How glorious is Republican triumph. There is not q page of Repub- lican history that has been written in the last thirty-three years that any lover of humanity, any lover of liberty, any patriot would strike from the pages of | American history today; not one. You can trust the Republican party, for be- hiRd it is the great conservative force of the country; behind it this year, as in the days of the war, is the great patri- otic heart of the country.
 Democrats and Republicans nike, l thank you, my fellow citizens, for this call This is not a party campaign; it is patriotic campaign. It is not q campaign for men; it is campaign for our country. I thank you a thousand times for the long journey you have made that you might testify your devo. ton to Republican principles. l bid you 20 back home and say to all the people that Ohio, this splendid old state of my birth, will give to these great doctrines of the Republican party an unprecedent. ed majority this year.
