Commercial Gazette, July 1. The Bepnbioana of Ohio formally inaugurated ihefr State campaign June 30, ly tho organization
of the Executive Committee, and by a grand j demonstration. Judge Forakor and Gen. Kennedy arrived about noon, they coming together from Springfield. A reception committee met them at the depot with carriages, and escorted them to the Neil House, All day long the candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor were visited by citizens of Columbus, and by Republicans from all over the State. Captain Brown, candidate for State Treasurer j Captain Sohler, candidate for Attorney General, and Gen. Jones, candidate for Member of the Board of Public Works, were on hand. All the members of the State Central Committee, except Mr, Eckley, of Carroll, arrived by evening. An informal meeting was held, and a subcommittee of five were appointed to wait upon the State candidates to ascertain their preferences for the Executive Committee. When the Central Committee reassembled at haU-past 7 it did not take them long to selwt the Executive, There was from the first almost a unanimous expression in favor of Captain Bushnell, of Springfield, for Chairman. There was, however, a spirited contest for Secretary between Mr, J. K. Brown, of Columbus, Secretary last year, and
sa. James Mayer, of J season. following are the State Executive Committeemen uiosen: Asa Bushnell, Springfield, Chair
man ; J. K. Brown, voiumonB, secretary ; y. x. Firestone, Columbus, Treasurer; Geo. K. Nash, Columbus ; Fred Spiegel, Cincinnati ; C. L. Maxwell, Xenia; C. 7-i. Kurtz, Athens ; J. B. Neil, Columbus; A, C. Cain, Somerset ; M. A, Hanna, Cleveland. Auditing Committee H, A. Axline; Muskingum ; hT7. Eokley, Carroll ; M. P. Brewer, Wood County. The Secretary and Treasurer were made members of the-State Executive Committee. This has not been done heretofore. Mr. Shinn, of Dayton, will probably bo Assistant Secretary. Judge J. E. Lowry, of Hardin County, was oleotea Chairman of the Statu Central Committee. Mr. Brown will act aa Secretary of the State Central, as well sa of the Executive Committee. The Central Committee adjourned to meet at the call of the Chairman. The Executive Committee will also meet at the call of the Chair-

It was a magnificent meeting. Certainly such a large one has never before been held at the State ftuiital. and the enthui asm was intense. Mr.
E. L. Taylor opened the meeting by calling for a song from the glee club, which was given with

Was the first speaker of the ovening. Asynop.1. nt htg remarka is as follows :
Tliaflnit raanlution of the Republican plat
form, adopted at Springfield, presents to the people of Ohio the most important Isbub in American politics the question whether Presidents and congressmen shall be henceforth selected by violence and fraud, or by a free ballot and a fair count? On this question we want the sober
iudzmmt of the North, and we want it now.
In presenting this issue and pressing it to a iWicTnn. we are not uromnted bv ill will toward
the South, nor by the half-forgotten memories of twdhty years ago, nor by any desire to diminish the legal rights and privilegts of tho people of that section, nor by any wish to render thorn uncomfortable or insecure in property, nor by any pride of opinion, nor by any desire to give the
inni-upl from thn rdoniinnt remarks of Gen. Boat-
tv, this evening, but they also pertain to our State affairs. And now that you have heard about National politics, aud in view of tho fact that we aro here within the shadow of this capitol building. I will tako some of yuurtime to talk to you about somo of those reasons that pertain to our State affairs. Now, wo have, eversiuco tho election of 1883 went iutooffeet, a Democratic State Government in the State of Ohio.

We protest against a present and continuous wrong, the existence of which we are prepared to prove by the open oonfessions of those who profit by it a wrong which effects adversely not only the freedmen of the South, but every free man of the North ; a wrong which tramples upon the rights of the majority and enables the minority to usurp the Executive Office and control the legislation of the country, T submit, fellow-citizens, that it Is wiser and better to control this wrong now to arraign it before the bar of public opinion at this time, than to wait until the evil has extended and can plead its own age and the long forbearance of the people in Justification of its existence. When the people of the North laid down their arms at the close of the war of the rebellion, they l.M ilmn thoir Amnitias. but thev did not lay

Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and other Southern States are not dealing fairly with tho North? What evidence havo you that in any of these States persons entitled to suffrage are disfranchised by violence or fraud? The evidence, fellow-oitizens, is overwhelming I A hundred volumes oould not oontiin it all ; but the proposition that men are disfranchised may be briefly
and easily established by comparing tne votes cast in Southern Congressional Districts with tho votes oast in Northern Congressional Districts. In Louisiana in 1882, ior instance, the average of the vote oast in each Congressional District for Congressional candidates was 11,500, and in Mississippi 10,000. In tho North, the average

TheBe facta indicate very plainly that at least one-half of the qualified electors in certain Southern States do not vote. But we obtain still further evidence on this point by comparing the vote cast before the Democrats usurped, by violence, the Governments of the cotton States, with the votes cast since. Take, for illustration, the Fourth Congressional w.wrf nf MionloBiiml In 1872 the Ilonublicans
polled 16,950 votes, but in 1878 they polled none at all. And whilo they hd a numerical majority nr r. mn in thA dintrict. the Democratic candi

in the North four men out oi nve vom. nniMvAtho .worn teatimonv of thou

On this point there is no rocm for further controversy, and argument becomes unnecessary. If the interest, then, of good gwornment, of honest representative bodies, of education, of justioe,6fthe dignity of labor, of protection to the libdrer, we demand that the Federal Constrtation shall be everywhere respectod, and the citi

Text of the JL'ref ace to Hi "Personal Memoir," I New York dispatch,! The preface to Gen. Grant's book will be as follow: "Man proposes, ami God disposes." There aro but few important events in the affaire of men brought about by their own choice. Although froaucnUy urged by my friend to write my memoirs, I had determined never to do so, never to write anvthin for publication. At the age ot nearly 62 1 received nn injury from a fa'l which conttn-! me closely to the house, while it d d not anwrently affect my general health. Shortly after the rascality of a business i artnec developed Itself by the announcement ot a failure. This was followed soon after by universal de ressious of all securities, which seemed to threaten the extinction ot a good part of tie income still retained, and for whit h I am Indebted to the kindly act Of friends. At this juncture thceditor of the Centum magazine asked me to write a few articles for him I c indented for the money It gave me, for at that moment I was living on borrowed money. Tho work I found congenial, and I determlnml tn ..nn thine it. The event ia an invDOr-
