Observation-Disclosures It Would Be

Akron, O., Sept. 23.-The Republican
state campaign was opened here today
with one of the largest crowds known
in the history of politics in Ohio. Judge

o'clock this morning, accompanied by
his daughter, Mrs. Babcock; Colonel
Charles Dick. Secretary of State Kin
ney. Auditor of State Gilbert and the
Hon. H. M. Daughterty, who was his
leading opponent for the nomination
before the Columbus convention.
Governor Roosevelt and his escort,
the Tippecanoe club OF Cleveland, did
not arrive until after IL o'clock An
immense crowd greeted them at the
station, and the party was taken to the
Hotel Buchtel. From there Judge Nash,
Governor Roosevelt, Senator Hanna,
Colonel Dick and other distinguished
guests went to the Elks' club room,
where they ate dinner with the news
paper men. This was an entirely nom
partisan affair.
Afterwards Judge Nash and Governor
Roosevelt received the college delega-
ton, of which there were several large
delegations present from Oberlin col
lcSe, WGSteIH fNeSGTN6s university. ONO
State university and other institutions.
The parade began at 2 O'clock 1t
was in six divisions and in charge of
Captain A. Wagner as general marshal.
There We're 1900 men in line. The
most conspicuous features were the es-
corts of Colonel Roosevelt and Judge
Nash, the one of the veterans Of the
Spanish-American war, and the other
of the veterans of the civil war.
The meeting was held at Grace park
and within whose confines fully $4,000
people gathered, only a small portion
of whom could get within range of the
voices of the speakers. Judge N. D.
Tibbals presided; President Ira Priest
of Buchtel college offered prayer, and
the Columbus Glee club of 100 voices
sang.
Judge Nash was the first speaker
He said, in part:
Judge Nash's Speech.
''The Democracy continues to demand
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l. Again the De-
mocracy of Ohio has declared in favor
of this financial heresy This is done in
the state of President Mckinley. If
Ohio, in November, should take a step
backwards on this question, who can
foresee the harm that will be done? 1t
will open the question again as a ma
tional issue. Again we will be in finan-
cial doubt and uncertainty. But this
will not happen. The people of Ohio
are an intelligent people.
There is another very important
matter with which the Republican
party and its policies had much to do
with in the last two and half years.
Our foreign markets have been enlarg-
ed, and our foreign commerce has been
increased. We believe this to be abso-
lutely necessary for the present and flu
rure prosperity of the country. The
policy of the Republican party is to
strengthen and make larger foreign
markets for our goods. 1t is in earnest !
in this matter. We are just as jealous !
IN this cause as we. ever were in saving |
our home market for Americans.
Save Our Home Markets.
This we propose to do, even if it re-
quires that governmental assistance
shall be given to our shipping so that |
our wares may sail the world over
under our own flag. This we win do, |
even II 1t involves the construction of |
the Nicaraguan canal by our own gov
This we will do, even if it |
demands that our flag shall never be
hauled down in islands lawfully ac-
luired by the valor of our soldiers and
sailors.
THE Democrats bravely shouted at
GAINESVILLE: We are radically and I'M
llterably opposed to imperialism in the
united States. VINO in the world is in
.avor of it? Imperialism is the power,
authority of an emperor. / know of no
mperialist in this broad land. I know
II no man in it who desires to change
ne spirit or character of this great re-
oubllc as 1t was handed down to us by
our fathers. Even those who believe
nat 1t is wise policy to retain pos
session of the islands which have come
% us as part of the victory which we
yon over Spain, do not wish to estab-
lsh an empire in them, or ANYTHING
lktn to an empire.
Freedom For Filipinos.
"All they desire is to carry to their
the same enlightenment
md the same civilization which we en-
oy When they are prepared for it, it
$ proposed when congress shall act, to
i've them a government free in char
lcter and guaranteeing to them the
acred rights which we cherish.
Undoubtedly careful and wise legis-
alton will be required both on the
resent congress and the state legisla-
lres, to regulate and prevent evils
'hlch may eananate from the large cor
afely entrust to the men of the Repub-
can party"
At the conclusion of Judge Nash's
peech, Governor Roosevelt was intro
uced. He spoke in part as follows:
Roosevelt Talks On Trusts.
Our opponents denounce trusts. but
hey propose not one remedy that would
OF. make the situation ten times worse
IAN its worst now is. l have read
trough carefully the speeches of Mr..
ryan and of his followers to find out
hat they propose to do. l have found !
Ienty of vague denunciation. I have
OF found so much as an attempt to ,
national policy of relief. In
lie Democratic platform in Ohio JUST
70 measures of relief are proposed.
he first, that you should change the
riff because it favors trusts; and the
'cond, that you should coin silver in
lie ratio of 16 to /, without regard to |
lie action of any other nation.
They pretend that the tariff favors ,
uStS. They know well that the great !
It trusts in this country, the Standard
II and the Sugar trusts, are utterly un-
fected by the tariff They know we'll
lat the trust with which there is the
ost widespread and deepest dissatis-
.ction, the Beef trust, is utterly I'M
fected by the tariff; and in my own |
ate. one of the largest trusts, the Ice
ust (Which is said to have as its ;
ost prominent member and promoter
at ardent antitrust champion and
lvocate of Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Richard
,oker). is also wholly unaffected by
e tariff. c
