paign in Ohio county last night by
addressing two wellattended and en-.
thusiastic meetings. Hubbards first
appearance was at the vigilant En-.
gine House, on North Main street,
where the Republicans Of Washington
district gave him a hearty welcome.
Later in the evening he spoke to an
other audience at Mozart Hall.
False Charges Answered.
The features of special interest in
both addresses were Mr. Hubbard's
sweeping reply to the llbelous efforts
TO make 1t appear that he has been
unfrlendly 10 the cause of labor. He
showed in detail that the alleged eight
hour bill which he opposed in 1881
was a bill that was unconstitutional
was not introduced by labor leader
but by Democratic politician; that it
established the most absurd and unjust
Limitations on labor, and that in 4
Legislature largely Democratic, it was
defeated bya vote of as to ii. Mr.
Hubbard also gave a full reply
to the questions asked by the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, and chal
lenged a publication of Mr.. Riley's
answer to The same questions. His
discussion Of the tax laws, and of the
benefits Of Republican administration
were effective and convincing at every
point.
