Ohio republicans started machinery

Saturday. September 10, with consider
able Of flourish. Senator j. b. Foraker
was foremost among the orators OF the
| occasion and he spoke in his very best
form, attributing to republican policies
the unexampled prosperity of the coun-
try and reviewing the disastrous effects
OF democratic influence on the country.
The senator said:
we are approaching another election.
IL VIII be one OF great Importance.
we are to elect a governor and other
important state officials. and elect a leyls-
!ature that will choose a United States
senator
1t would be enough TO make this cleo
ton important. II nothing more were In.
VOWED than merely u choice OF men for
THESE responsible posts of duty. But more
important by far than the question OF what
man snail hold any one of these places
as the great broad question of n choice be-
tween political parties. Is Ohio to 40

body wants TO know. not only here but

and our taxes for state purposes have been

Republican Prosperity
There may not be the same unanmity
with respect to national affairs but there
should be, for all must concede that under
republican policies We are ENJOYING the
most satisfactory results We are hav-
ing unexampled prosperity. We have never
before experienced such universal bust
ness ACTIVITY 1t extends to all occupa-
lions. 1t pervades all sections and dis
penses Its rich rewards to all classes of
people. Our revenues were never so am
PIE, nor ever so little burdensome The
american name was never so honored
throughout the world. Our wealth and our
strength are everywhere acknowledged
ana our diplomacy is everywhere success
ful. IL has commanded the good will and
excited the admiration of all the peoples
OF the earth
"It is not only our privilege I'm, o,,r
DUTY, 10 continue all this. And the first
step in the discharge of this duty is tn

TO be a tit agency for the execution Of

only acceptable principles, but also a com
mon belief and a common purpose among
its members There never was a time when
our democratic friends had acceptabIe
prlnciples. put there was time when they
had these other attributes. but thai linz

To-day they have no common agree
ment on any proposition except only that
.ney are democrats. They cannot tell
why, nor can they even agree what tbo
term democrat implies on ali innor
taht subjects and policies they have the
sharpest and most irreconciiable differ-
tnces They are more hostile toward each
sther than they are toward the renubIic'
ans. Ihere is no hatred in the politics OF
our country like that which fills the bearts
OF the free silver and gold democrats To-
ward each other. The free silver men
charge that they were buncoed out OF a
victory in 1886 by the detection OF the gold
democrats. and the gold democrats charge
mat their party was discredted and dis
eraced by the free silver men who pnined
