DIVIDING TIME IN OHIO. " I tb AN EXTRAORDINARY UNION POLITI- re CAL MEETING AT ADA. ll c r Governor Ctauvbell, t h e Democritle 1 Champion, Winis the Openiig il Clos bc ifag, and Makes Good Use ofi the l'rivi- V (If. loge in Doing Up McKinley. A, fe ADA, Om11o., Oct. S.- The little town pI of Ada was in gala attire to-day in honor of its great political event, and di not only did every front window pre- ti sent a likeness of either McKinley or Campbell, but from every limb of the 0 trees were suspended above the streets q portraits of the distinguished Ohioans. A Flags and banners and bunting there b were without number, and so generous was the friendly rivalry of decorations displayed by Democrats and lepubli cans that the very horizon was obscured by the familiar lines of the national colors. Great decorative taste was dis played in various triumphal arches, the most prominent of these structures be ing the non-partisan, "Welcome" arch, which rose above Main street and boro the words, "Welcome to their leaders." From the Keystone were also suspend ed portraits of AlcKinley and Camp bell, and as the various m-larching clubs marched under the arch they cheered lustily for their respective leaders. By noon there were over live thotts and strangers in the city, and althotigh great enthusism was manifested by both parties, the rivalry was a friendly one and entirely devoid of unpleasant incidents. Many Indianians and a few Illinoistans came and they numbered In their ranks the most enthusiastic par tisans on the ground. Prom early morn ing until the opening of the meeting t.he music of bands resounded through the streets and occasionally the blast. of a tin horn distturbed the martial melody. There was an object lesson, however. in these tin horns, for they were tmider stood to be and labelled as the product of American tin. The handv walking cane, displayed with much ostentationli by various marching clubs, was alluded to as having an origin in the tin niines of Dakota, and no occasion was lost toi denounce in vigorous language the iete t noir of Ohio Republicans, the "1eno v cratic tin-plate liar." On the other hand the Democrats retaliated by displaying badges bearing allusions to the incon- , sistency and impotency of the Mclin ley bill. The ladies wore distinctive badges, which attracted much atten tion, and the Democratic badge receiv ed special allusion by Governor Camp bell. It bore a portrait of Campbell, and below it were the sigmlicant words, "American wvool, 21 cents, on account of the MlcKinley bill." An Ameri can tin badge, displayed with equal pride by epublicans, contained a por trait of Alchinley and bore the Words: "Protection and ionest Ioney." 't'here were many prominent ()io politicians on the grand Stand, alid both parties were fairly well represented. At 11.15 aspecial train hearing Major McKinley, Senator Ilinluplireys and others rolled into the depot, and cer after cheer arose fron the crowds as the features of the great exponent. of protection were recognized by the mi1 titude. The Alajor bowed smilingly to the crowd, and, (Ilickly enh-ring a car riage, was driven1 to th residnce of Prof. Lehr, undler escort ol' vari... i marching clubs, led lay an exitltant brass baud. Promptly at 1:2.30 the Hocking V'alley train, bearing about one thousand ecleering I )eiiocrats andt Republicans, drove in sight, and at tached to the rear of it, was t hie spaecial car "Bluckeye,"~ containiing (Governor at Campb elI, D r. Norton, (Chirman N or ton of thle State cent-ral coinmkit t(e. ILieutenani, G ove'rnior Aarquis, anida few other p)rorinient )emiocra s. A repetitiomn of the enthusiastic ovat ion extendedi to MtcKinilev was the recep-a t ion tendered ('amipbell. As the cheerin g mullt itud(e pr.essead around the carriage in waiting to r eive the Governor not a fe*w insist (<d r oni shaking bands and( the. proceedIingsJ~ were temporarily interruipted while C Governor C'ampbell extended his hiand ' to a few or the more demonstrative. *' 'The band struck uip "T'he Camnpbells are~ Coming" andi again a series of emnthuisi astic Democratic cheers rent the air. The Governor was rapidly drivent to the residence of P'rof. L4ehr, where hie mnet Alajor McKinley, and they took lunch with Prof. Lehr and a 'few persomau friends. For a brief hour politics and the great struggle which is being waged a~ f or partisan supremacy in the liuekeye t State were forgotten and these t wo gen- - tlemen, each acknowledged lby his op p)onents to bet "te prin1ce of goodI lel. u lows," met in special friendship in I oh ilnment of their mutual p)ledge at the ~ contest that there shouldi be a (campa)igni ! of measures nm! principles and not of " personality.t T1o-day's union political lme etinig was held ini a vast amph)lithieatre on thle " Fair grounds. Great taste was display edi in the decorations and in the centre ~ ot the groundis was a large pole0, from P which floatedi proudly the Stars andti Stripes. Artillery was called Into re- i (quisition, and as the two distinguished leaders appearedl in sight a Governor 's I salute was fired.n Among the prominient people 01n the a grand stand were Congressman Storer, 'l Congressman Taylor, Gen.

The meeting was presided ov'er by 8 two chairman, J1. M. Fleet, of IIarliii County D)emocratic central commit.tee, I on behalf of the D)emocrats, and Jlames t C. Howe, of the itepuiblicani counaty " central committee, on b ehalf of the lti publicans. It was 1.15 I'. M. when the "2 meeting wvas called to orde. by the ]tev" Mr Cam pbell, a Presbyte'ian minister. and at that time fully Seven thousandh People were on the grounds. T1he cleric-h al gentleman Introduced the twvo presid- U ing officers of the meeting, and an nlounced that Governor Campbell would ~ be the first speaker. t Chairman Fleet, the D)emnocratic I presiding officer, made a brief speech of a congratulation to everybody, and an- a nounced that Governor Camupbell had gained the privilege of opening andti closing by casting lots. The gentle-' man committed a alight bull b)y ailud lng inadvertently to Major McKinley 1 as "Governor McKinley," and the lie pnblicans cheered lustily, while the chairman blushed in confusion. GOVERNOR~ (AMPJIELL,' after being introduced as one of Ohio'st greatest Governors, launched into de- 1 bte. I regret, said Governor Campbell,t fp openmng, thiat I have not time to ' properly present the indictment of that I overgrown monster, which, masquer- a 'ading In the garb of protection0, subl ets on the wage-earner and agricul-] ...~,tuarist.

[The isue beteowni is anti between the arties for wichm thte momenit we st:andi re lixed niot by ourselves, but biy the latforms of otur respective~ parties ~here is oneo or two of thtem which I ropose to present. One of' them is the uesthon of silver, and the other the nestioni of taxation. One relates to the Landard with which we shall measutre ur exchanges with each other and the est of the world, and the other relates ) the methods of taxation by which we hall raise revenues for public purposes. Ipon this question of silver the Dem cratic platform has declared for free ,nd unlimited coinage of the silver of he world as freely as gold i1 now coin d and upon the ratios now fixed. The tepublican party stands opposed to hat, insisting that it cannot be safely Lone until great commercil nations hall have filxed the ratio between gold 6nd silver. Coming back to the tariff question fIcKinley said: The Governor's plat 'orm commits him to a tariff for revenue mily, that is, a tariff upon foreign pro luets, levied with no other object in oriew but revenue, unmindful of every ther consideration but revenue, not .aring for the industries and occupa Aons of the people. A revenue tariff will raise revenue for the Government; % protective tariff will do that; a rev inue tariff will do nothing else; a pro Lective tariff besides raising revenue will also stimulate the industries ot the people, encourage the skill and genius of American citizens, develop the re sources of the Government and secure to it as it has done in the past thirty years the first rank in mining, agricult ure and manuifacturing. Tell me why the foreign producer should be permit led to enjoy this market equally with the American citizen; why he should have the same privilege to enter this market with his competing products as the Atmerican citizens enjoys. AcKinley thein analyzed his tariff bill from his own standpoint. At. the conclusion of Major McKinley's ipeech the adherents of the great expo nent of high tariff burst into cheers and pr-olonged applause, hats and parasols were waved in the air and the band be g'ai to play. It was soni minutes be. rore 'ampbell could obtain order, and not, until NlcKinley had signalled to his frierids to subdue their enthusiasm. Ladies and gentlemen, said Governor 'aimipbell, I concur most heartily with \fijor Mckinley that this is the greatest mrid best and proudest nation on earth. 1'ut, unlike him, I would distribute that ereatness and that wealth as God dis ribittes the dews of heaven. upon un ust as well as just. I Prolonged ap )lause and cheers I I depicted the condition of the farmer, in the answer of the Major is not only hat l am a calamity croaker, but in the Nords of somebody else, you must not fritmble. 1Laughter.1 You Findlay as workers who have had your meagr~e aviges redluced(, you steel workers of leveland who have had your pittance uarther cut down, you must not, grum le, because your poverty adds to.some )ther man's wealdh.

The Plan of a New Soldier's Organiatior at Washington--Their Views of the Pen. sion Systeu-rhey Urge a Itovision o, Penmion Legislation WAsHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Au organiza tion of soldiers that has for one of itL objects the destriction of the business of the pension sharks who have promot ed mendicancy -and a low standard of honor among veterans, aud which treat8 such an opposition as patriotic and philanthropic, seenhs like a strange one to be formed in Washington, but such an organization has been formed, with veterans for its ofilcers, and with a very plain prospectus to set forth its object in full. The promoters of this new soldier or ganization hold that the soldiers who went to the army were not inspired by the hope of gain, but by the desire to secure to themselves and their posterity the benefits ofi a sound government; and that the men and the women who remained at home, inany of them as loyal and brave as those who went In to the field, are entitled to stand] togeth or with the veterans in any organiza tion that is made to celebrate the achievements of the army. Further than that, the organization of Loyal Volunteers, as it is called, as sorts that good character was as essen tial to success in the field as it was at home, and that there were men in the field who did nat come up to the re quirements of decent life any where and who now do not hesitate to live on the generous gratitude on the people as ex pressed by means of pensions, obtained by fraud and at the expense of honor. Men who had the intelligence, energy and courage to succeed in the field now have equal ability with men who were not soliers to compete with their fel lows in the pursuits of peace, and some of them wounded, but in good health, support their families with no more idea of shirking that duty than they would have shirking danger in the field. They deiand that pension legislation shall be so revised that honor, as well as the necessities of the soldier, shall be fully recognized and guarded. In the prospectus they say: "If the peo ple do not now rally to the support of this effort of the old soldiers to relieve their honor from the mercenary stain that is being put upon then by the sophistry and industry of pension at torneys, they should hereafter meekly pay, without a murmer, any demands for more and larger pensions that may be made. A society organized to teach that the duty of loyalty includes hon esty as well as courage in dealing with or defending the government, and that 'impairment of earning capacity' is the only just and honorable basis for a claim for damages sustained in the line of duty that should secure the active co-operation and suppor: of every fair minded and loyal soldier, sailor and cit izens."

"I have inl my possessionl the olicia record of a Court-martial whiich proves on the sworn testimony of Gen urime himself and Fourteen other witnesses that the above charge contains no truth The official record shows that the charge were: 'Misbehavior in the presence o the enemy' and 'absence without leave.' Gen Grimes makes no allusion, cithei in the charges or specifications, or in him sworn testiuoney, to any lack of' duty on my part during the inornin".
