 Speech of vorys. Arthur I. Vorys, republican campaign manager for Ohio, was chairman of the meeting. which was held among the tall oaks of Wick Park. 1n introducing GOV ernor Harris MT. Vorys said: Again our chief opponent is the dem- ocratic party. Again, ignoring and re- pudiating responsibility for the accom- plished and anticipating no responsion- ity for the reforms to come through the same undaunted. oft-defeated, but never desnondent leader, as amiable and in- ventiye as ever, if not so brilliant and courag geous the democratic party pro- poses It's quicle-acting, automatic, self-ex- ecuting, shortcut. cross-lots, alluring schemes to instantly eradicate all evils and at once bring about the desirable altruistic state, of which all are required to be. and therefore will be, honest and square. free from evil, abuse or oppres- sion and, therefore, happy and contented in a Utopian equality of guaranteed pros perity. Again they build their democratic tower on their democratic platn of 'Shi- mar and again there will be the demo- cratic confusion of tongues after dem- ocratic defeat"
 Huqhes and His Double.
 The day was a perfect one for an out door demonstration. Governor Hughes was the first arrival and he was some what startled by the appearance while at breakfast to see what looked like his own image approaching. The apparition. whiskers hair, jaw. mouth, frock coat and all on the Hughes lines, turned out to be R. F. Hughes of Beaver, Pa. Hear ing of his remarkable resemblance to the New York governor the Beaver man made the trip to Youngstown to compare notes.
 Governor Harris and Senator Beveridge did not reach the city until the streets were swarming with the thousands of steel workers. clad in white uniforms, and marching clubs were ready to begin the parade through the uoWhtoWn streets to the park. They had been delayed outside of Cleveland by an accident to one of the brakes of the train on which they were travelling. The city was orna- mentally dressed for the occasion and every possible preparation made for the entertainment of the visitors under the general supervision of J. G. Butler, Jr Senator Beveridge and Governor Hughes left the city immediately after the ex- ercises.
