A Masterly Arraignment of the ItcpTlIc- mm Party mad IU policy by the EIo-- quant Democratic Standard Bearer Foraker Fully .... Answered, . Hamilton, O., September 5.

The utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and the Qov- but houses Mr. has to the Is Mr. tion? tempt sure i,n enthusiasm prevailed, ana rather ernor's masterly arraignment of the Kepuo- duties J!TJ mJL. , nn,t he administration was loudly cheered. Fol lowing is the full text of Governor Hoadly's speech: TirMw-CmtimOF Bim.ERCotTSTT: Two years ago I opened in your ni Hist the canvass which resulted in Democratic success. Sur rounded now by the friends who gave me then the magnificent majority of 2,83 In this Gibraltar of Democracy, I ask for a renewed expression of confidence and an Increased maiorltv. which hall express with emphasis mif nninlnn that Democratic success, as proved by results, means not only good gov ernment, means reform, union, personal lib erty, economy, no iraua, no aisguises, uu concealments, open dealings and candid treatment of the publio in affairs, State and V.tinnoi The Ohio election will express the opinion nf thffiwnnlA nnon mv administration and that of the Sixty-sixth General Assembly.

Of these I ask your approval, confident that Democratic success niflHDB riuu RUTrruuicm, " National, which ought not to be rebuked by rl nftnt. - - The leader of the Republicans of Ohio has - carefully prepared the appeal of his party and sent it from the stump through the Tinoa to the country. He waves the bloody shirt: be indorses the policy of alienation and hate; he seeks to transplant and culti vate In this countrv the feelinss of the En glish aristocracy towards the Irish, to array . section against section, to govern the South from the North as Dublin Castle governs Ireland as a conauered Drovlnoe, and all this in the year of grace 1885, twenty years tnd more after the close of the war. The average life of an ordinary generation is thirty years. Owing to the casualties of war, which cost our country at least a million lives, the duration of the generation now passing away has been less than this. Twenty-five years have elapsed since Mr. Lincoln's election. Five-sixths, perhaps more, of the -men who devised rebellion, the men who fought Its battles and the men who overcame It, have passed away. The great civil and the unreat military leaders. Lincoln and Grant, both sleep in graves bedewed by the the tears of the whole ration. South and North: for both died with words upon their lips and feelings in their heart of "charity to all, malice toward none." Seward and Sumner, . rhiuf and Fessenden. Douglas and Stephens. Lee and Breckinridge, these are historic, not living names. Alone of the authors of re bellion Jeff Davis survives. Boys born when the war broke out have been voting forthree - years past. Boys born after the war will vote next vear. Bovs too young to bear Anna are now mature men of thlrtv-flve. There is a new South and a new North. A new generation, full of new life. Is at work. A very large proportion of the peoplo of the South-have never seen a slave, and have lived under no other regime but that of uni versal suffrage. Is It not time for the Sher mans and the Forakers to aooept the results nf the war and no lonirer to continue in battle? Eight million bales of eotton. the probable crop of this year. Is In sight. There are no idlers in the South, why croak in the a.. mend 'on iiin have to no rebel and Kice, Here Andrew could of his Mexico, honored, blood Against he good S as tor fit to sow-belly official sible ple but and midst. some is thing taming his books, the office Hh years nation no every oe the John office a B Yes, and have nh North? White men and black men are side I been work. Tbe south is aeveioping to ,hv side at new industries, weaving cotton cloth, dig ging coal and iron, forging steel. God and nature, reliirion and the human heart, are tbe forces against which Sherman and For-1 ,aker contend and foster plots. To the policy of alienation we oppose Union; for hate we substitute love: we wel--oome tbe new South and the old South, old men and boys, fathers and sons, not as allies nerelv in a ornsade asralnst the forces of nature, but as brothers in affection and iblood. We bid them all, white and black, the nnii iblood. We bid them all, white and black, Join us in the great mareh of union and lib- tartv. to the neacefulconauestB of the future. I "Let us have peace," said General Grant many years ago. His eyes at last saw It. "I have witnessed," said the dying voice, "since 4ny sickness just what I have wished to see ever since tne war narmony ana gooa icei inor between the sections." And again, re JoTcing In the present, he prophesied the future In. words of glowing hope: "We may now look well forward to a perpetual peace at home, and a National strength that will screen us airalnst anv f oreitrn complication." i Lev js, then, banian these unmanly fears Ox ooutaern wrong-aoing, ana cease to ex aarirarate occasional xtersonal conflicts into wars of races.

Statdand Nation. - - Mr. Bnerman win mil in nis eaona to si:r the dying embers of sectional animosity. Ohio has not forgotten what General Garfield so well said: "Tbe man who attempts to get up a politi cal excitement in this country on the old sectional issues will find himself without a party and without support. The man who wants to serve his country must nut himself in the line of its leading thought and that is the restoration of business, trade, com merce, industry, sound political economy, ' hard money and honest payment of all obli gations; and the man who can add anything In the direction of the accomplishment of any of these purposes is a publio benefac tor." The Solid South! Havo Senator Sherman und Judge Foraker forgotten that there was ' once a Republican Solid South, and what be came of It, the South of Moses and Madison Wells, of Parson Brownlow and Warmouth, of Dennis, "the little giant of Alachua," who Invented tissue ballots, of tbe strumpet Betty Higgins and the chaplain who joined efforts . to debauch the Legislature and bankrupt the Treasury of Tennessee, the Solid South of Kellogg and Eliza Pinkston? But a few years ago every Southern State, except Ken tucky, had a Republican Governor and Leg islature. Where are they now? Some in exile and some in prison, and their party like Hans Breitmann's famous "barty," "all gone avay, in die Ewlgkeit" Ued away, as marsh miasma evaporates before the sun. Mr. Sherman is distressed because Lamar and Garland and Bayard, "two members of the oonreaerate congress ana one man w no sympathized with them, are at the head of rreat departments of the Government." Oh, ' yes I it was well to put Mr. Key at the head of the PostofHce Department. One Confed erate in the Cabinet was all right, but two, : itwo are a lamentable concession to treason. No, not quite this even. Akermau was a nroper Attorney General and Key a most becoming Postmaster General, but two at a . time, two at a time. Garland and Lamar to gether, aye, there's the rub. The tears of crocodiles are freely shed as Sherman softly sings, "Insatiate archer, would not one suf fice?" - Mosby. Madison Wells, Mahone and Chal mers, the guerrilla, the Returning Hoard, the repudiator and the Fort Pillow butcher, all these have had their garments washed, but Lawton and Jackson, Jonas and Lamar .and Garland, the best and purest of the South, these to our Senator are the unregon erate children of the political Satan, unfit to serve the Republic. And Bayard, too. Is a bug-a-boo with which tn fris-hten Renublicans Uavard who "sym pathized" not quite so long, nor yet so fu riously, as Logan, whose name it uned to do light the New York Tribune to adorn with the penx "d. w" "dirty work John A. Lo- an, because he boasted of his delight in oing the "dirty work" of returning slaves to their masters. And all this that John Sherman may be Senator, or, perhaps. President, with our be--oved Foster for Senator, and that Foraker may be Governor. what can an opposition Senator do for Ohio? A chronic negative, a continuing scold, a running sore of petty party com plaint, is not what will best serve Ohio. Let us put an equally sound Democrat by the side of Henry B. Payne, to join him in gen- erous support of Grover Cleveland, helping to settle the silver question, to settle tho Mormon difficulty, to revise thetar.Son the lines of nrinclnles stated In the Chicago Democratic platform, and to reform the civil service. Against Senator Sherman's appeals for disunion we set the good work of the Demo cratic party, its President anil Cabinet, and their declared aims and DUrnoscs. 1 ask for re-election, not for my own sake, but be cause it will be understood as Ohio's in- rinrftoinAnt nf these. No doubt there are dissatisfied Demo crats. Yes, and fortunately there are f at 1AaH Rnnuhlicana. How much better would either have felt had Blaine and Logan triumphed? In January, 1H63, Mr. Lincoln . said to mv friend M. D. Conway: "Most of us ham nreaont. have been nearly all our lives working in minorities, and may have got into a nauii. ui uviug uior.ninm-'i.

Now as to State affairs. Of myself and my personal administration of the trust committed to me I have little to say. When I entered upon the office of Governor I made nn mv miiiil tn nnrmit no dishonesty and discharge the duties of my office with all the wisdom I could command. How far h,va been able to keen this pledge thus made to myself the people Ohio must judge. It Is not for me to sar; so, leaving the further discussion my official conduct to others, aud to the judtrmeut of the people of the State, pass to the consideration of the action of the Sixty-sixth General Assembly, in both branches of which the Democratic party had a majority in the senate a maiurityoi more than three-fifths and in the House three fifths less three. Mr. Sherman says: "I know by general reputation that the Democratic majority of our last Legislature was a 'bad lot.' I leave others to furnish the bill of par ticulars." The Hon. Jacob A. Kohler, Re publican candidate for Attorney General, was a member of the Sixty-sixth General Assembly, and in daily contact with the "bad ot" thus spoken of. I call upon Mr. Koh ler to furnish this bill of particulars. I him to state publicly, and in his capacity candidate for Attorney General, which nasaAri hv thA SiKtv-sixth General Assembly ho would have advised Judge Foraker to have vetoed had Judg-e Foraker been so fortunate as lo havo oeen eiecrea Governor iu 183 and possessed the veto power. I take it for granted that every of the Sixty-sixth- General Assembly "bad lot which Mr. ivonior votea ior, Sherman and Mr. Foraker will not repudiate. I Invite scrutiny of the journals of the Sen ate and the House, ana an examination the acts which they passed. Let us know what thev were those evil measures which this "bad lot" passed. My own opinion the Sixty-sixth General Assembly can briefly slated. It Is that, judged by the suits or its aciion upon me omiuie uun, was one or tne wisest, ir not me very wisest hoilv of leorislators ever convened in for tho makinir of the laws of our State. me reati Trom a recent, numner or me nils- burgh Labor Tribune what this Legislature did for the labor interests of the state: "Several letters have been received of asking what measures in the interests laDorwere passea oy tne nisi r,egisiaxure. As this is a matter of importance, we would sav that so far as we can now recollect, following comprises the list of laws passed bearing directly upon labor: First To no-nnerative enterorises to incorporate der tho laws of the State. Second To crease tho number of mine Inspectors two to four. Third To increase the penal ties for the violation of tho provisions of mininir law. The old law provided for a of not more than $S0; the new laws for tines to be not less than $50. Fourth To invest mine inspectors with powers sealers of weights and measures. Fifth create the office of 'lnspectorof Work-shops and Factories.' with a force of three assist ant inspectors to enforce laws for theproper ventilation of shops and factories. Sixth To allow suits to oe urougnt against corpor ations at any place where thoy do business, inartMiri nr at the heatloiiarter!. of the pany, as designated in their articles of poration.

"1 wlU ha isea by tha abets that if Have not secured all that we have desired In past two years, we have at least secured more than we nave uoue in an. &ae previuuo history ot legislation in tbie State. That we have secured so much is due to the fact that workingmen agitated for and insisted Upon SUCH legisiaviou "I vfuhj. mm we oid proud of the fact that the Ohio Miners' Asso ciation was the first to set the ball rolling to right direction." - i... It these are the results of the labors of the "bad lot" in our General Assembly, we Sus pect that the workingmen of other States would be glad to have the Legislatures vac cinated With Ohld lymph. Besides this, how ever, at its first session It gave civil rights to colored men equal to those possessed by the whites. Perhaps this in Mr. Sherman s eyes the bod job of a "bad lot." The Repub lican party had allowed thirty years or ite publican power to pass without doing It. Moreover, it passed a registration law for Cleveland and Cincinnati a severe registra tion law. Doubtless this was a bad job of a t.i,wl ln, (n. in Taiiiimim the RenUblicllTl party broke up the Legislature itself by absenting themselves, breaking a quorum, and thus preventing the passage of a registra tion law a law which in Tennessee is con s'dered in Republican parlance an obstruc tion to "a free ballot and a fair count." It submitted, the "bad lot" did, to popular vote amendment to the constitution changing the time of holding elections in Oh o from October to November, and the Democratic platform cans upon ine uemwiraui i Ob'o to support this amendment. The Republican platform is wholly silent upon this point. The course Of this silence we are not informed, but are left to infer that it was from one of three causes. First: they may have been so intent upon waving liquid flno- dnrl simnortinir the eternal principles of regulation and tflxatdn that they forgot It; or, secondly, they may have conceived It Unwise to make a party plank favor of any constitutional amendment for fear they might not have a sufficient ex cuse for refusing to tell whether they were favor of or against prohibition, as it seems be a cardinal Republican principle that that which is to be changed in the constitu tion ought never to be made a matter of party difference only that which is to be changed in a statute; or, thirdly, it may, after all, have been a plan to keep Ohio as a nivotal State, so that Governor Foster's but us ihb of 'of hairo bf the by the the cuAnon aa a. Tmatrlnt.iR.l candidate In 1888. The "bad lot" also provided by law for the erection of a gallows in the penitentiary so as to secure privacy of executions. They es tablished a forestry bureau so as to preserve the forests of the State from indiscriminate riactmintinn Thev steadfastly refused to give away any part of the Ohio canals. In eed, It may be said of this "bad lot" that they were satisfied with- their own badness, and indulged in no steals or jobs whatever. So far as I am aware, none were even pro posed by them. They also provided for the Inspection of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Or phans' Home by women. But the good work of this General Assembly, and the most im portant, in my opinion, was the work of prison reform, which, I hope, has been left upon such a foundation that Whoever may bo elected Governor of this State the Legis lature will never disturb it. I refer Senator Sherman to his neighbor. General BrinkeiS hoff, the most distinguished advocate of tfnrm In thA State, and to the Re publican members Of tht Board of State It publican members or tne tsoara oi orate Charities, together with the retary of that board, as witnesses of the wrnnA vnrlr Hone In thin direction bv the Demoeratio Legislature and the Board of Managers appointed by me. The prison was left In the hands of the Demoeratio party, as one of the guards pithily said, with nOtning UUt lUW WUllS, lUO Ifliovusia, and the vermin," BO adequate. supplies of food or clothing being on hand, and with both parties in the State pledged to the abo lition of contract labor. The prison has been thoroughly oleansed; the men properly clothed, fed and worked, the Incitement of hope has been added by setting apart a small portion of tfiS wages of their labor as a re ward for good conduct; while punishment has been made more severe for third-torm prisoners, by requiring their detention even for life, unless they reform; cruel punish ments have been abolished; education has been encouragea oy tne eBiaonsn ment of night schools which are attended by more thah six hundred prisoners, and & beginning has been made in Mr. Sher man's own city of an intermediate peni .......

That these reforms have cost money is true. The abolition of contract convict labor is an ex- Seriment, hopeful, but necessarily costly. To iBpeuse with contract labor altogether means to spend at least tl.000,000 in the neces sary building, tools and machinery to do the untiM work- of rhn nrisnri on State account. There are four possibilities With regard to I prison labor. irst, ana worst or an, isio ihv luh uiuu 111 m i,.. i.".,.. ..... j , next, worse, to let the men out to contractors.

The General Assembly nas also be.in gen erous, though not extravagant, in its appro priations for the support of the National Guard. The administration of the .Ad jutant General's offloe has been, since I have been Governor, careful ahd economical.

Hut there is a class of legislation against which Mr. Kohler voted, and which Messrs. Sherman and Foraker would rend in their wrath. Four bills were passed by the Sixty sixth General Assembly in the nature of po litical municipal reorganizations. Two these, viz.: the Springfield police bill and the Columbus "ripper," were declared unconsti tutional by the very Supreme Court which Senator Sherman describes as having nulli fied the Scott law by a "partisan judicial de cision. HOW xnis uourx, so aevermy criti cised by our experienced Senator, and which without, hnincr nallnd a "bad lot" is evidently considered by him no unworthy associate tho "bad lot," could have arrived at such re sults. I leave it to him to answer. The Co- inmhtiB "rinner" hill was in mv opinion. aithnnirh hnld unconstitutional, intended right a grievous outrage and wrong, viz.: the fact that, taking advantage of an accidental matnritv in tliAitv Council some vears aft-o. the Republican Councllmen redistricted that rv an TnAT.

It must also not be forgotton that a Repub lican Supreme Court not a partisan tribunal, for, of course, no Republican Sup re me can ever render a "partisan judicial decis ion" sustained the constitutionality of law. as Mr. Sherman will find by referring 2D Ohio State Reports, page 102 the case the State on tne relation or tne Attorney General vs. Samuel F. Covington et al. had the pleasure or talcing part personally in the argument of this case on the success ful side; I have some knowledge, therefore, that that case was not tried before a partisan Court, and the decision in response to argument was not a "partisan juaiciai Perhaps Mr. Sherman's Idea of "partisan judicial decision is a decision bv a Democratic Court. It seems to Republican principle that whatever the do is right, but whatever the do, even if of the very same charac ter, is wrong. Right to appoint Key Akerman; wrong to appoint Garland Lamar. Right to take the police power a Democratic Mayor and give it to the of a Republican Governor: to take it from a Republican Mayor and it to the choice of the Democratic people. Right to decide the Pond bill unconstitu tional, and prevent the collection of a amount of taxes from the publio treasury was done by that decision; wrong to the Soott law unconstitutional. Wrong Ohio to take police power from the Republi can Mayor of Cincinnati, but right to do in Massachusetts only a few weeks after, has been done by the Republican party the Bay Bt.au sines tbe Ohio Legisifuur Journed.

V aui .U hnrnn.hntutni.il real question in Ohio, then, as being between prohibition and license, whether that license be in the form of a Scott law or permitted an amendment to the Constitution, the Dem ocratic principle is plainly stated in the ot our party. We are opposed to sumptuary legislation and in favor of licensing the traffic fn tntoxi cating liquors. We believe in self-control, and that the true remedy against the tempta tions of liquor-drinking is to make happy homes: and that personal liberty should be destroyed by law, except where its cise is always wrong.

The scheme of tbe "regulation and taxation of the liquor traflio"was submitted to the peo ple underthat name in 1883, and received less than 100,000 out of a total vote of 721,000 votes.

The Literature of the Weather Superstition Associated with the Ground Hog. February 2, or Candlemas Day, a religious holiday known in the Church calendar as the Feast of the Puri fication of the Virgin, is also known "ground-hog day," and is generally known throughout the United states the day which forecasts the weather the succeeding spring, lhe origin the weather superstition and of its connection with Candlemas is dimcult explanation. A popular belief, says W. P. Jones, to tbe origin oi which the memory of man can not reach, objects to sunshine on this day. Latins said i Onl anlonilnannt Maria nlirifl canto Major erit glacis post fiotum quan f ult ante. The Scotchman of to-day says: If Candlemas is fair and clear There'll be twa winters in tbe year. The French have a rhvme of similar import, and so have the Germans, and doubt the people of other European countries. It is quite impossible to say how many countries our old friend, o-rniinil-hoc. or some of his kind. rwrfnrms. on this dav. We all know of programme how he wakes up and comes out of his winter bed to iook around the world asain. If he can not his shadow he plays about, know that his winter sleep is done, lor spring is bear at band; it, on the con trary, his shadow is visioie, ne crawis back asrain into his hole and covers himself ud for another six-weeks' nap. Germany it is the badger who goes throuerh these trvmnastics; in France and Switzerland it is the marmot; in England the hedge-hog. The Scandi navian fables the bear waking up in like manner, and seeing the sun shining into his den, whereupon he turns over and goes to sleep again, knowing the winter is only nan gone. his ly persons who believe in the ground-hoir superstition more man me negroes ui to There are no Southern States, seem have brought the fable, with their tales of "IFrer Rabbit" from the shores of Africa. It is a curious custom how natural history fable like this could appear simultaneously in three conti- nents, and repeat itself interminably it through the ages. It is not because it has a foundation in exact truth, as one nay easily prove by noting absolute 1 .ather conditions on this and succeed- I ing days for a few seasons. And yet people go on relieving in iuo ittuie, uu repeatinz old saws about it, such as I the farmer would rather see a wolf in his barn than the sun on Candlemas Day;" "As far as the sun shines in on the 2d of February, so far the snow will drift in on the 2d of May," and so on. The only real foundation for this popu- lar belief seems to be the general truth in at pleasant weauier. in ituiuw; " temperate latitudes is apt to be followed by a change and a chilly spring. Such an occurrence rouses the canny Scotch man even to some not overpious utter ances, for he says : Of a' the months in the year, Curse a fair Februeer. And his cousin of Wales is even more emphatic in the matter, saying : The Welshman would rather see his wife on her bier. Than a fair Februeer. " - J St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ABNORMAL ANIMALS.
