Woodsdalr Island. O., Sept. 12. The Republican campaign opened here Satur day afternoon with an immense crowd of people gathered together from all points along the Miami valley, who came to listen to speeches from Hon. Whitelaw Reid and other prominent leaders of the party. Mr. Reid began by saying that this meeting opened the campaign in the old Ohio way. He referred to the rock-ribbed Democracy of this (Butler) county, and t aid a tribute to t he late Lewis D. Campbell. He eulo gized the old Miami university, which, he said, "taught not merely letters, but patriotism," and speaking of its eminent al-.inini, said that Hartison led them all. He con tinned: "The Democrats ore greatly troubled. They say that Harrison is a cold man. There is scarcely a doubt but that he does casta chill upon them. The ice cart at the White House door will disappear from Democratic campaign cam paign literature when they find it suits 50, 000,000 people to have a president wao doesn't play the demagogue and pretend to be the bosom friei-d of every man he meets. Contrasting the Two Parties. "I am not here to-day to discuss Presi dent Harrison's administration or the principles on which bis party confidently appeals to the country for his re-election. That task is undertaken by two from among those younger sons of Ohio who have of late so borne her standard to the front. The Republican party under this administration has matured, enforced and magnificently vindicated a sound protec tive tariff, in the interest of our own coun try and our own countrymen. Our op ponent wish to destroy it. We have coupled with it a s.-htna which gives you a free break f a-. t table and at the same time opens the best markets for the pro duce of our farms and our factories. Our opponents threaten to destro- it to shut the markets what tiiey call our sham re- ; ciprocily lias opened, if not also to tax again our breakfast table by restoring the revenue taritt duties or cpuee, tea ana sugar. I J 'Matchless National i:itukiag System." "We have niaiutai: e i that matchless national bank system originated by that great Obioan, S. P. Chase. Our opponents wish to destroy it and go back to state banks and shinplasters. We point to the prosperity of the country, to the satis factory management of its affairs at home and abroad, to the successful workings of the McKinley bill and the utter discredit that has overtaken those who prophesied its disastrous results. To the liberal re wards of labor and the enforcement of the laws for the equal security of all other citizens; to the wise, clean, strong and honest administration, and we ay that under such circumstances it is ot good business policy or good common sense to make a change and begin experi ments. Our opponents want a change right away, and warititbad.M Refers to Perry's" Victory. After a eulogy of the president Reid said he would not attempt to discuss Ohio is sues, as McKinley and Foraker would fully attend to that. He closed with a reference that the day was the date of Per ry's victory and that memorable dispatch: 'We have met the enemy and they are ours. arable, with McKinley and Foraker and Irave old John Sherman at your head, the s,ns t'f Ohio will run up again that old btttle flag. 'Don't give uptheship.' WL-n th? day is ended may the victors send the grandson the words Perry sent to t'.ie grandfather, 'We have met the enemy and the are oiiis.'" PREDICTIONS OF THE DEMOCRACY. Uuv.iMcKiulry Say that Party Is a Iis- appointment. TheVext speaker was Gov. McKinley. He begnn his address by saying that no political party can long bold public con fidence hicii bases its claims to confi dence ol trie disappointments of the people. This, he said, had been the case with the Leniocratic party for more than thirty years. It has been predicting failures of the Republican policies since 18til. The armor and armament of the leaders of the Democratic party in 1861 was that the war was a failure as a means of settling the difliculties then existing. Then they predicted that paper money could not be issued and kept afloat; that the bonds or tlie government could not be sold, and after whey were sold they pre dicted that the government would not re deem them. I The Platform of 1864. Later came the celebrated declaration of the Democratic national platform of 1864, that the war for the supremacy of tle gov ernment was a failure. And later still came the prediction-, that the government could not resume specie payments. So it has been throuitb alftbvse years, the Dem ocratic party has beet) predicting the fail ure of Republican policies until now, when they declare that the tariff of 1890, enacted by a Republican congress, is a failure, and that it will bring distress upon the Amer ican peopie. , The Late Democratic Moose. Another thing about the Democratic party is that when it does get into power it is a disappointment, and to honest and well-meaning Democrat a humiliating disappointment. The campaign of 1890 was a pile of woes which were to follow the doings of the Fifty-first con Kress, and notably the tariff law. They won 6n the prediction of those woea by alarming the people and pledging themselves to tear op, root and branch, all thia aril legisla tion. -What have they doner he, asked. and proceeded to answer by aTinir that Ex-Governor Foraker then addressed the meeting. He said: "I shall content myself with a brief statement of only the princi pal reasons why every Republican in Ohio and the nation should zealously and faith fully support Benjamin Harrison. His record is much the better. Both he and Cleveland commenced political life before the war. They began, and have ever-since j . . I . .

I "He has been identified with all the il-j lustrious achievements that have made history of the world. He has been thej friend, supporter and associate of all thej great statesmen and great heroes whoi have wrought for our country during th9j last thirty years. He has entertained he j loitiest ana purest sentiments mai ever found expression in American politics. His party has never risen so high that he has not stood on the same plane with it. He has boep constantly and zealously on the right side of every great question of our day ani generation. His record Is resplendent with good deeds and great triumphs. r'oraker's Opinion of Cleveland. "It has been made in spite of the con stant opposition of the Democratic party. In a 1 this opposition Cleveland has be longed and adhered to that party. He has no share whatever in the great victories that have been won in either the field or forum. His whole life and all his political affiliations and experiences were such as to prepare him for the work of vetoing pen sion bills, returning rebel flags, advocating free trade, and making war generally upon the patriotism and prosperity of his coun try when he became president. It was not to the credit of the American people that he was made president once. It would be inexcusable to make him president twice." Other Speakers Heard. j The remainder of Governor Foraker's speech was devoted to a discussion of the tariff, reciprocity, state banks and hon est elections. Then brief addresses were delivered by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster; ex Representatives H. Clay Evans, of Ten nessee, and Allen, of Michigan; General Houston, of Kentucky; Turner of Ten nessee, and W. H. Farnham, of Cincin nati. It was after 5 o'clock when the meeting closed. STEVENSON CLOSES IN INDIANA. Speeches at Greencastle, Itloomington, and Terre Haute. Teuke Haute, Ind., Sept. 32.

The Speech at Terre Haute. In the speech Stevenson dwelt at greater length than usual on the tariff and its effect on wages, there being a number of workingmen in the audience. He said that wages were higher in Colorado and California than in the balance of the conntrv and that showed that tariff had no i-fleet to benefit the workingman, as if it had that effect wages would be as hirh m Maine a in California. Ihe issues were a high protective tariff ou one side and tariff reform and reduction of the cost of the necessities of life on the other. Senator Yoorhees occupied a seat on t ue platform, but did not speak. When the meeting wns over Stevenson left for Bloomington, 111. They Are After Peck's Authority. New Your, Sept. 12.

A Kansas judge has decided that a mar riage license issued by the county clerk (it is the probate judge's privilege to issue licenses in Kansas) is invalid, even in the absence of said judge.
