 THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO

 Senators at Delaware.
Foraker Commends President Rooss- velt's Dining with Booker T. Washington-Tom Johnson
 Had Seat on Platform.


 the Ohio campaign here by the Republi- cans was considered the most largely at . tended for years. A feature of the occa- sion, from the opening prayer of Presi- dent Bashenord to the closing speech of Senator Hanna, was the remembrancel of Mckinley and the appeal for the sup port of President Roosevelt.
 When Senator Foraker referred to President Roosevelt entertaining Profess sor Booker T. Washington "as a repre- sentative of the colered race" there was quite a demonstration. The coiored voters had two large clubs present that had just broken ranks and they pressed into the crowd to join in the demonstra- tions as Senator Foraker proceeded.
 The greatest demonstration of the day was when Senator Hanna declared that he did not intend to quit politics or re- sign as Senator or chairman of the Re- publican National Committee.
 The crowd assumed that Senator Hanna was referring to his fellow townsman, although not by name, Mayor Tom L. Johnson, as he proceeded and there were cried from the platform that Mayor Johnson had gone. Mayor Johnson mingled with the crowds of his political opponents until speaking began and then he was accorded a seat on the platform till his special train left for Cleveland.
 Senator Foraker Speaks.
 Senator Foraker, on being introduced, said:
 "I have attended Republican campaign openings In Ohio for twenty years This is the greatest of them all Everybody is here. Even sinners stricken with re- pentance Qaughter)-even Zacheus is in the tree (pointing ts those in the trees} and he sees something that is coming our way uaughter and applause.) Although this is the first demonstration of this campaign the enthusiasm |. so noticeable as to show that the Republicans of Ohio are determined that their verdict on November 9th shall be heard all over this country, for t,Ilnam Mckinley and his policy and his successor, Roosevelt (Ap- plause.) And he Is a successor of whom we all may well be proud. If our Demo- cratic friends had only waited until today to hold their Ohio convention and write their platform, they would indeed nave an issue; for day before yesterday Presi- dent Roosevelt entertained at dinner Booker T. Washington, a representative of the colored race and all over the coun- try there are manifestations of Demo- cratic displeasure and even threat-we hear it given In their papers. that they will resign all the offices they hold daughter and applause.) What calami- ty that would be. Not to Ohio. for they do not hold any here. Uaughter) And in all human probability they never will hold any here" (Applause.)

 Senator Hanna Talks.
 ''I feel the inspir ration of this hour. It is a Republican day. This is Republi- can weather. The bright sunshine has pierced through the gloom which has held us like a pail for thirty days and more; and in that time, we have waited with bowed heads and aching hearts. Every prayer and every tear came from the nations heart. And now. that the time when the flag is to remain at half-mas' Is passed and can be again raised at the masthead, we are reminded of our duty
 "T repeat my text of 1900. just sung by the gIee club, Let Well Enough Alone. (Applause).
 And when vo consider the serious re- spc rsi abilities as affecting our own per- sonal as well as State and national in- terests, We must commence at the hearth stone and. finding there d contrast that we have learned by experience as between 1893 and 1897, and again from 1897 to 1900. we must I say, reflect seriously as to our duty in this emergency.
 "In that serious thought, we must ac- knowledge that the foundation of the which has come to us, is this ha he rannlp have In fhnSa who are controlling the destinies of this nation. And when you knock a single prop from under that structure, you may see beginning which will end in the de- struction of that confidence and bring us back again to the conditions of six years ago. (Applause).
 "Following that terrible tragedy from which this country will not recover for months or years. there came an awfully solemn moment to every thinking man in the United States and when President uttered these words to the American people. who have been repeated here today he did it with the most seri- ous intent to serve the best interests of his country and to insure and guarantee a continuation of this confidence among the people; and he meant every word of It. Great applause).
 Roosevelt's Guarantee.
 And as a guarantee of his intentions and purposes, he gave the further assur- ance to the people by inviting the Cabinet of President Mckinley to be his advisers. (Cheering).
 Let no yellow journals or blatant dem agogues shake your faith in the condi- tions of this country today, as affecting those who have the responsibility. (Pro- longed applause). I am not going to re- tire from politics or public duty. Gond. continued applause. during which the au- dience arose and cheered to the echo). I have no intention of resigning my chair of the National Committee" After repeated demonstrations, the Sen ator continued:
