THEIR KEYNOTE is SILVER
Opening of the Democratic Campaign in Ohio
Last Night.
Horace l.. Chapman, Candidate for
}. Party Leaders Speak at Columbus.

The silver democrats opened their state
campaign in Ohio yesterday. In each
county they held a meeting. and the chief
gathering took place in Columbus last
night.
The speakers were Horace L. Chap
man. candidate for governor: Congressman
John ]. Lentz Mayer James A. Rice of
Canton, General A. J. Warner and Allen
w. Thurman.
After few remarks on the tariff Mr..
Chapman sounded the keynote of the
campaign in the following remarks:
Money, whether metallic or paper, is
the creature of law. and its measuring
power Of every other species of property
Is determined by the amount in circula-
ton and the demand for 1t. On this ques-
ton my position Is well known. I am in
favor of the restoration of silver at the
ratio OF 16 to L without waiting for the
permission or consent Of any other coun-
try, believing that we are able to MAIN
tain our own financial policy. 1 am in
favor of only three kinds of money-goli,
silver and legal tender treasury notes-for
all debts. public and private. In support
OF my views l quote from prominent re-
publican statesmen. who expressed their
convictions upon this subject in language
stronger ard more impressive than l can
use.
William Mckinley said on the floor of
the House of Representatives June ~.
1890: I am for the largest use of silver in
the currency of the country
Secretary Sherman said, as published in
MS speeches and reports of Finance and
Taxation April II, 1876: The two metals
have kept together with remarkable near
ness. and it is said. with great force. it
seems to me. that to adopt the gold stand
ard alone and demonetize silver would be
to deprive the people of the world of the
money which alone measures the value of
their production and Of their labor
In speech delivered by Senator ]. B.
Foraker at Jackson. Ohio, March 9, 1895.
he said: We believe in bimetallism in the
sense that silver shall be more than credit
money. 1t must be again made a money of
ultimate redemption, and as such take it's
place alongside of gold
In conclusion, let the freemen Of Ohio,
no matter of what political party, rise in
their might at the polls and crush that
nster-Dribery-which threatens to tear
down our form of government, and with it
the teachings of honor, virtue and patriot
ism, which we have so long revered. With
an honest ballot at the coming election we
will win great and glorious victory and
emulate the virtues of Paulding, Van Vert
and Williams"
