COLUMBUS, O., Jan. l0-This has

During the foreno on, the statehouse

crowds to Ret inside the capital build

dressed the multitude, one delegation
after another. These demonstration
continue until noon, when Bushnell
was escorted to the rotunda OF

other state officers were provided with
reserved seats and the crowds occupied

leries and everywhere. while the street
and statehouse grounds were crowded
with shouters Wnen cheer after cheer
was heard inside, the echo was taken
up on the outside and the air was filed
with loud responses. The O'Neil house
is directly across High street from the
statehouse, and Hanna witnessed tho
forenoon scenes in the capital grounds
from his rooms.
The exercises in the rotunda were
according to the usual program. The
oath OF Office was administered ny
Chief Justice Burkitt. The govern
or's inaugural address was very brief
and contained no reference to the
senatorial situation. Bushnell was
most loudly cheered at the close of his
address, and the ovstion continued as
long as he was in sight.

selfishness, disloyalty and coercion. A
political combination that would take
from the government it pretended to
serve the right to issu" its own

largely controlled by foreign money
changers, could be purchased by other
aggregations of capital to commit

rhe same unpatriotic power that made
President Cleveland u traitor to the
great party that honore', him has con
tinued its un-American regime in the
person of the other man, whom it will
not permit TO refer 10 his for.ner votes,
speeches and writings for free and
unlimited coinage of silver, when he
was a salaried servant of the nation in

percep tible difference between Cleve-

iicaaism, 90 far as bimetalism is con
cerned.
while We would gladly welcome
international bimetalism, the attitude
of the present administration in
abandoning its platform and its com.
mission appointed hereunder, and In
.vowedly attempting to fasten the
Gage gold standard permanently upon
the country, makes 1t clear that It is
opposed to bimetalism from any source.
The battle is not that OF republicanism
against populism or democracy; it is
the unrelenting and cruel war of
selfish, disloyal greed against all these.
The conflict is on, and involves the
peace and hapsiness of the people, If |
not the life of the nation.
"Let rs, therefore, exhort you to
,ome TO the help Of those who love
rue republicanism and thi-r country,
