Guild. Messrs. A. B. White, Jane, r
Hall. the newspaper Corresponds.
and others. lef. the grounds for n,
Ohio River passenger station, where :,
ESQ o'clock. they departed FOR Is.
southern part OF the state. II wa, i,
evitable, of course. that Colonel Roou
velts departure should be the sl,r,,
for the departure of large por,Ior ;,
the crowd.
Before his departure. Mr.. White l.,
troduced Governor Nash. saving. /,
viii introduce 10 you as your mex, mn,
siding officer one OF the founders o, Il,
Republican party, Mr.. Atkinson :.
Hancock county, who was DELICATE i,

plauded. He said:
Fellow Citlzens:-On last MONDAY !

Cincinnati. get Governor Rooseyelts, an,

Virginia. (Applause.) 1 believe We 70,
here on time. 1t was not. however, u.
til we had passed through Ohio ron,
into all parts of the state, and assu,.
you that In Ohio he was received Wifi
the same enthusiasm. and by the san,
Kind Of people who met him this after.

ception gave assurance of one thIpr
and that Is, that Ohio In Noyemby
next VIII give to Mckinley and Rooss.
Welt the largest majority II ever gave h,
q presidential candidate. (Applause)
Now, fellow citizens Of West Virsis.
Ia, l take alittr interest in your can.
didate for governor. As n boy he lived
in my own city of Columbus. Hi
father Is now my neighbor, and IL.
sire to say that 1t gives us the greatest
pleasure possible to know that the peo
pie OF West Virginia honor his manhuo!
as We in Columbus honored his boz.
hood. Applause.)
Bounded by Republication.
Now. Ohio wants to have anotkg
thing done. For many years We have
had Republican state east of u, L,
pennsylvania: sometimes We have h;i
Republican state west OF us in Ind.
ana: but we want to be surrounded IL,
year by Republican states. We wa..
West Virginia on the southeast an!
Kentucky on the south. If you ca.
only surround Ohio by Republic;
states. possibly our young men viii
give up their bad idea or custom Q.
running away from home and gett!-s
all the Offices VIXEN the Republicans I,
the neighhoring states are triumphant
LauShter.)
Now, fellow citizens, It occurs 10 T..
mat there is no reason In the word
why any man who cast his ballot 70:
William Mckinley In 1896 should nos
propose TO cast his ballot for William
j. Bryan. The issues In 1896 are the Is.
sues OF 1900. In 1896 the Republican
party, In national convention Assem-.
bled, made two promises to the pcor!I
OF ms country. One of those promise!
was that 1t would repeal the odIoG!
wilson tariff law, and enact In It's plac.
n law that would give protection I:
American workmen and American In
dustries. and at the same time product
revenue enough to meet and pay the ey
penses of this great government. An
other promise made In 1896, and mon
important, was this: that the Repuhls
can party would adopt n sound finaa
clal policy for this nation, and that |
would make the gold standard 4 pa-
OF the statute laws of the Unite
states. We have been in power bu,
little more than three years and the.
promises, SO solemrly made. have brFi
kept. Now. fellow citizens, 1t occurs 4
me that 1t Is wise policy to keep I
power party that always Keeps II
pledges. Applause.)
The Height of Folly.
Fellow citizens. 1t seems to me tia
1t would be the height OF folly to sub
sti'ute for such party. the leaders Q
another party who made great prophc
Sizes and whose propheslcs are proveI
TO be false In less than three year:
time.
Fellow citizens, from 1893 unit
March, 1897, the Democratic party an
Its leaders had control Of our natora
government. During that time grsa
distress came upon the country. Cover
