CINCINNATI, Oct 21.-Music Hall
could not contain all wanting to hear
Governor Roosevelt at the mass NEST
ing here tonight. He was escorted
from the ST. Nicholas Hotel to Music
Hall by one of the largest professions
ever seen in this city, including a bat
talon of 100 Rough Riders, all veterans
of the Spanish war. In addition to the
torches and blazing illuminations along
the line of march, there was a great
display of fireworks.
Senator Foraker, the presiding officer,
made a stirring address of an hour in
support of Judge Nash for Governor
and the Endorsement of President Me-
Kinley.
Governor Roosevelt spoke as follows:
"A grimly comic feature of the pres
ent international conspiracy against
America and civilization is the way in
which the adherents of Aguinaldo in
the Philippines and his apologists here
pat one another on the back; and an
other striking feature is the wild in
vective, the savage and incoherent vio
lence of the language employed by
these apostles of peace.
Yet, after all, it is but natural. They
are repeating precisely the tactics Of
the copperheads of the Civil War
Those of you who are old enough Will
remember that the copperheads who
nounced them in the name of the gos-
pei of peace. Their cry was Peace,
even Peace at any price, and it was
these apostles of peace, who by their
furious denunciation of Abraham Lin
coin and of the Northern people, and
their frantic invectives against every
measure of the Government, finally
stirred to madness the dark and gloomy
souls that are always to be found OH
the outskirts of such a movement
In 1868 the preachers of the doc
trine of cowardly peace were response
bic for the terrible and bloody out
breaks in New York City, which we
know by the name of the draft riots.
In 1868 these same craven preachers
of peace were responsible for the muir
der of Abraham Lincoln Nowadays
their successors, who use their exact
language in denouncing our conduct in
the Philippines, have stained their own
souls with the blood of our soldiers
and of their Philippine foes.
The other day Ohio sent to New
York as a preacher of the new dis
pensation Congressman Lentz, a fit and
worthy successor of Vallandigham In
his speech in New York Mr.. Lentz di-
vided his time between eulogizing Alt
geld, the man who pardoned the An
archist bomb-thrOwers, and eulogizing
Aguinaldo, whose success would mean
and could only mean the slaughter of
American soldiers and the dishonor of
the American flag. He likened Aguin-
aldo to Patrick Henry. and called him
one of the heroes of the world, and he
denounced the war which we are car
rying on for the suppression of saw
agery as more brutal and cowardly
than that carried on by George III
against US. He took the position that
Aguinaldo was a hero for killing our
soldiers, but that if they slew him it
would be murder.
while Mr.. Lentz was thus preacn-
ing treason, Aguinaldo was sending
over a message which has only the
other day been published. He had evi-
IDENTIFY not heard of Mr.. Lentz, but he
had heard of some of the minor heroes
of the anti-expansion Chat is, anti
American and anti-patriotic) move
ment, and he praised them in terms
which, if the men were capable of one
thrill of American feeling, would make
them shudder with horror at having
won and deserved such commentator
from an enemy of their country
Finally. with a simple sincerity which
Aguinaldo's party allies here would dc
we'll to initiate, the proclamation of the
Philippine chief continues in 50 ,nany
words to state that his hope of sue
cessful resistance to the authority OF
the United States is based on the tri-
umph of the Democratic party. Con
tinuing, he says: Therefore we must
show our gratitude and maintain oul
position more resolutely than ever We
should pray to God that the great Dem
cratic party may win the next Presi-
Dental election, and Imperialism dhat
is. the American people) fail in its
mad attempt to subjugate us by force
of arms
I'm other words, Aguinaldo is fight
ing for the Democratic party, and tbs
Democratic party for him; the arms OF
his men who shoot down our soldiers
are nerved by the aid and encourage
ment given them by the anti-expan
sionists of the United States, and ht
continues the bloody war in the Phil
/ ippines because he hopes ultimately tt
win through their assistance.
mo more burning Indictment of the
Democratic party under it's presen
leadership, and of the preachers of trea
son who have taken the lead in de
nouncing the course of the United
States could be framed by any Ameri
| can.
| Bear in mind that this arraignmen
of the Democracy is unconsciousl!
