Sherman and Foraker Make Speeches at

Columbus Ohio, August 15.-The Re
publican campaign in Ohio was formally
opened to-day by two monster meetings
in this city The orators were Senator
John Sherman, Standardized j. b. For
aker, and Hon. 5. l.. Woodford, of Brook
Ign. Despite the heat fully 10000 people
were crowded into an immense tent on
East Broad street. Governor Bushnell
presided at the afternoon meeting. He
introduced Senator John Sherman. The
latter said:
by far the greatest injury resulting
from the free coinage OF silver will fall
upon workingmen. Their wages are
now based upon money Of the highest
value, upon gold coin of standard value.
With free coinage of silver every work
ingman ought to demand enough silver
for his daily wages to be equal to the pur-
chasing power of his present wages in
gold The struggle between working
men and employer will then commence,
and no one knows better than the work
ingman how difficult it is to get an adj
vance in pay. OF all the evils which n
government can inllict, none can he

coin or paper. Experience has shown

ing it into dollars on Government ac-
count. This has been tried. 1t is Ger
tain that before free coinage'bill can be-
come law the wide dstrust by the pend
ing of such II measure will lead to the
rapid collection of debts, the sacrifice of
property and deepen existing financial
difficulties growing ont of insufficient
revenues for the national, rs well as for
macy State Governments" ~ q
AS Senator elect Foraker was intro.
duced there was deafening applause.
His speech was n remarkable one that
swayed the immense audience with his
will. He said: The Democracy has
started n new issue, because they had
run completely ouL on the old. They
were whipped to y standstill before they
started on the tariff, and they were de-
feated before they started in on the

WORKING FOR a MILLION. t.
An Electrician Experimenting on Million
aire Rouss Substitute

aire Rouss' Substitute.
Here is something interesting from YES
terday's New York World: John l.. Mar
tin, the blind druggists clerk, of No. 1912
Elizabeth street, who, since April 20. has
served rs Il subject for alleged sight
lestorers to experiment on as II substitute
for Charles Broadway Rouss, who has
offered 81, 000,0 900 to any one who will
cure him of his blindness, is undergoing
another experiment.
The man now treating Mr.. Martin is
Walter w. Felts, an inventor from Cali
fornia, living ut No. 307 West Twenty
second street. Readers of the World are
familiar with Mr.. Rouss' atllicton and
offer. Mr.. Felts is after that million, and
he hopes to get it. He uses u primary
battery of his own invention. In treat
ing Martin he uses four cells The elec.
trodcs are placed in the outer corners of
the eyes and the current, which must pass
through the brain to reach the optic
nerve, is turned on. Mr.. Felts claims
that his battery eNcels others in that it is
not subject to polarization and does not
transmit impurities of any kind
The properties of the fluids in the cells
he keeps II close secret, and will do so I'M
til he obtains his letter patent. \ very
high voltage and amperage can he OBJ
tanned and steady current maintained.
Mr. Felts says that If he could apply an
extremely strong current he might cure
Martin in two weeks. But il would be
unsafe, as II blood vessel might be broken
and death ensue.
Martin was able to distinguish flashes
of light on the occasion of his first visit
to Mr.. Felts. This satisfied the latter
that the nerve was not dead, and with
each subsequent treatment he found evil
dence that the nerve was becoming more
sensitive. In n week, Mr. Felts added n
cell and administered current of nearly
ten volts and fifteen amperes. This
proved too strong, and the added cell was
removed
Mr.. Felts explained to World reporter
how he was induced to come to New York
to treat Martin About n year ago he
began work on primary battery, from
| which he expected grand results. And he
believes he will not be disappointed. Mrs.
| Felts about this time was terrible
| sufferer from what was supposed to be
chronic acute neuralgia, but which in re-
atty was the paralysis of several nerves
| in the jaws, the effects of which, in some
instances, closely resembled tetanus.
a surgical operation had been decided
upon, when Mr.. Felts happened to tell
| DR.. a. \. O'Ncil, of Chicago, of the new
| style of primary battery he had invented,
| and explained its main features. DR..
| O'Neil advised him to try its power on
Mrs. Felts. He did so, and in short
time she was entirely cured. But he
used stronger current on her jaw than
he dare use on Martins eyes.
Mr.. Felts came to the conclusion that
| If his battery would cure one nerve it
would another lie thought that n mil
| lion dollars was worth striving for, and
he is here to get it if he can.
