marks with a telegram from Jacob II. Schf.
the banker praisng Mr. OdeIl, and expressing
the belief that MI OdeIl will make good Gov
ernor. Mr. Schif Senator Depew said, is "a
dom says anything"
Senator Depew said in part:
l have been travelling continuously for forty
eight hours to help open the campaign in Ohio
and TO get back here tonight. 1t was. indeed,
pleasure to get into the Presidents own State.
What | saw in Ohio dissipated all my fears
about the chances of General Apathy defeat
ing the Republican ticket in this campaign. III
General Apathy" ever set foot in Ohio he soon
was on the run, and | think that he has been
assisted by the hot weather.
There is a Scriptural saying that prophet is
not without honor save in his own country. Mr..
Mckinley is surely exception to this rule.
This has been shown by the fact that the people
of Ohio have sent Mckinley to Congress for
twenty years, have made him Governor and
have given him. along with the help of the rest
of the United States, the highest position in the
land
Senator Platt IS another exception TO the Bibli-
cal quotation The Senator was born in Owego,
and the people of Tioga County will not allow
him to change his residence
Still another exception is Benjamin B. Odell,
ir (Here Senator Depew turned on the high stool
on which he stood. and looked down at Mr..
Odell) They surely have honored him in his
country.
The full dinner pail, which is the watchword
of each party at the beginning Of a Presidential
during the last four years Of Republican ad
ministration. But the full dinner pail means
more than to fill the needs OF a mans appetite.
1t means employment to the workingman; 1t
means good markets TO the farmer it means
continued industry to the manufacturer. The
re-electiOn of Mr.. Mckinley will mean the be-
ginning of a great industrial epoch, greater
than any in the history OF the United States
