youngstown, Ohio, Sept g.. The repub-
licans of Ohio formally opened the presi-
Dental campaign here today with large
parade followed by a meeting which for
enthusiasm, elOquence and attendance
has rarely been equalled in the Buckeye
state. Everything tended to a successful
demonstration. The weather was ideal.
The three oratorical stars, Senators
Chauncey NJ. Depew, j. b. Foraker and
Marcus A. Hanna, drew thousands of Wis
itors from all parts of Ohio and western
Pennsylvania.
At $3.50 a. m., the first train from Cleve-
land pulled into the station with Senators
Depew, Foraker and Hanna. Accom-
panying them, as guests of Senator De-
pew, We're Judge Williamson of Cleve-
land: State Treasurer Cameron, District
Attorney j. J. Sullivan, Myron T. Her.
rick Andrew Squires also of Cleveland
and Geo. p. Waldorf, collector of customs
of Toledo
The distinguished party were met by
the reception committee headed by Mr..
Caleb Wick and escorted by the Foraker
Republican Club was driven to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Wick, where luncheon was
served, followed by an informal recep-
| ton.
! Mr. Foraker's address was in part as
follows:
! Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Citizens
! The paramount issue of this campaign
! is the administration of William McKin-
ley. Shal it be endorsed or repudiated?
| That is the question.
| Money, tariffs, trusts and so-called i'm
perialism are, each and all, important
subjects, but no one of them can be
| segregated from the others and voted
upon by itself In other words, the dem.
ocratic party cannot be restored to
power as to one proposition and be eX-
luded from power as to others. 1t must

| You cannot adopt it's views as to the
Philippines without at the same time
accepting free silver. You cannot agree
with it about trusts and differ as to

the flag" is coupled with free trade, and
their lamentations about the Declaration
of Independence and the consent of the
brown men who are to be governed in
the far-distant isles of the sea, are cou-
pied with defiant notification OF the
constitution, and brutal denial by vio-
lence, rapine, blood and murder of the
most sacred rights of the negro citizens
lives for the nations flag, and with gal
lives OFF the nations flag, and with gal
liant heroism won honor and renown for
the republic on the battlefelds of the
nation. TO make long story short,
you cannot vote a mixed ticket or have
a mixed result. You must choose be-
tween republicanism on the one hand
and democracy on the other-not democ-
Tracy in this, that or the other particu-
liar but democracy in all particulars. It
is therefore the duty of every voter to
survey the whole field and then, with
the net result in mind, determine
whether the present administration
shall be continued. 1t should be enough
that this administration is republican.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Our experience with democracy has
been more than unsatisfactory. 1t has
been disastrous. There are many wise
capable and patriotic men in that party
but the party as such somehow lacks
capacity for the successful administra-
ton of public affairs. This is no new
thing. Such has been the case since
long before the war. The following ex.
tract from the annual message of Presi.
dent Buchanan shows the deplorable
{, state to which democratic policies anl
incapacity had reduced us in 1857
| He said:
1--WE have possessed all the element.
of material wealth in abundance, ant
yet, notwithstandi all these advan
! tages, our country in it's monetary in
terests is at the present moment in
deplorable condition. In the midst o.
unsurpassed plenty in all the produc
tions of agriculture and in all the ele
ments of national wealth. we find ou
manufactures suspended. our publi
works retarded, our private enterprise
, of different kinds abandoned and thou
! sands of useful laborers thrown out O
, employment and reduced to want
We have only to recall the distress tha
tovertook the country in the last admins
tration of Mr.. Cleveland to show that
possible the latest effort of democrac
was even more unfortunate than that O
Buchanan. Business paralysis, CONNER
: cial ruin, idleness and despair, with los
of credit, both public and private, over
took and almost destroyed us because O
what democracy, in it's lack of states
manship and general incapacity under
took to do for the country.
WAS ALWAYS WRONG.
The truth is that the democratic part
has been on the wrong side of every grea
question for more than fifty years.
