tory, and on this theme spoke of his
visit to Vermont, and the Vermont e2cc-

states OF Populism, he said 1t had had
its day; that it had no higher mission
than that of exciting the envy and jeal-

AFTERNOON MEETING.
Informally opened the afternoon

A Bushnell, among other things, said:
my fellow-citizens: The formal
opening Of the Republican campaign IN
this great Republican state of Ohio oc-
CURED in the city Of Columbus, August

that day heard words Of eloquence and
of sound and convincing argument ut

Joseph B. Foraker ad Stewart L. Wood

and, as Republicans, the peer OF any
one of that political faith. This SPLEEN
did meeting today, therefore, cannot
be called a campaign opening. But this
Meeting today has been inspired by the
idea of instituting a pilgrimage 10 the
Republican shrine. 1t is really a Ta,tifi-

glad to be 50 near our candidate and
to contribute a little more to the busy
political life of this city of Canton. 1
need not call your attention to the SEEM

of making the pilgrimage to this city.
The vast numbers Of Republicans who
have gathered here today speak for
that point.

MY" NOMINATION.


The three parties which have Joined
IN my nomination agree that while
there are other issues before the people
aside from the money question. yet the
money question rises paramount TO
them all and must be settled first.
Otner questions can wait, the money
question cannot. II has been forced
upon public attention. II has been
brought before the people and we have
to decide whether we shall continue
the present financial system wherein
a few men have undertaken 10 run the
government, or shall put the financial
policy OF the American people in the
hands Of the American people 10 b.
framed by them and for them from
now on. (Applsuse) / never lose an
opportunity 10 impress upon the peo-
pie the Importance OF this question TO
every citizen. The Republican plat
form declares that we must maintain
our present financial policy. not until
We get tired of IL, but until foreign
nations get tired OF IL and consent for
us TO abandon It

DEAR, DEAR PEOPLE.

To my mind. no more infamous prop
osition was ever endorsed by any party
and l cannot believe as I look into the
faces OF tens OF thousands Of free Amer

ton. (Applause) The Republican
party had a great opportunity before Il.
Here was a Democratic ADMINISTRATION
which was being opposed by a large
part or the Democratic party and u
IS much more difficult thing for a
man to Oppose wrong in his own party
