JUDGE R, S. TAYLOR
W'OOHTKR. Ohio. October 5. The
Republican? of this district opened the
rad cam paign here today. Senator J
li. Foraker was the principal speaker
On the (juestion of what disposition
we snail make of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines the senator said:
In this war we hare budded Winer
than we knew. Oar fathers of the
revolution did not take np arms for in- J A
dependence out only la resistence of tyranny. K vents broadened their pur
pose. Lincoln called for troops to save the Union, but events broadened his
purpose and slavery was abolished. Oar initial action had reference only to Cuba, but Spain dec'ared for war generally and thus broadened the fi.dd so as to include Porto Rico and the Philippines, and thui we have greater
prestige tree Cuba ana territorial ac
quisitions of incalculable importance
We have al learned
some Seasons. We have learned that
it is not wise to be wholly or prac tically unprepared for war. It is t
wise maxim still that in time of peace we should prepare for war, at least to
the extent of maintaining an army and a navy commensurate
with our wealth and papula tion and interests. And in this connec
tion we have loarned that we can not
depend upon great wealth or great
population or z ;alou patriotism alone
lor our national defense. It was our
good fortune that the long peace since
our civil war, wai first interrupted by
trouble with Spain, rather than with England or some other great power
able to striae at once. We have learned the necessity for coait defenses, a good navy and a good army, both adeq iate in numbers as well as in quality. We have learned another
thing, and that is that the Nicaragua
canal is essential not only to commerce but al;o to our efficient defense.
To reach the ecene of action the
Oregon was required to sail 10,000
miles farther than would have been necessary if she could ha?e crossed the isthmus, acd now, with the Iowa as a onto t
she has ttarted to return to the Paciiic, and it is estimated that it will require five months for them to pass from our
eastern to our wostorn coast and reach their destination."
"Tho great questions of
the hour are: What shall we do with Cuba'T What shall we do with Puerto Rieot and, what, particularly, witn the Philippines? So far as Cuba is concerned there should be no question whatever The Cubans have earned their indc pendence. We have solemnly declared not only that they are free and iudependnt, but also that they shall have a government of their own choosing. We mint keep our promise, and we will. Hut this promise of independence to Cub docs not apply to Puerto Kico or io the .Philippines. We took these islands by the conquest of war, and they are ours.

to ths United States not simply a coal- j Travel ing Btation or a single island, but the 1
wnoie group oi me rumppire ismnus. i have no f ear of the ability o our people to successfully govern them, and I feel that it would be a crime to return
them to the government of Spain.
Under our protection and
guidance thty can have intelligence
and prosperity, and we can have t base t f operations in the far east high
ly essential to the securing of our fair share of the trade in China and the
rest of the eastern world- Japan has stepped to the front with a commerce that is irreatlv to the advantage of all
who trade with her. The possibilities
with China are far greater. All tho irreat nations are struggling for their
share of the trade to be developed
when China has opened up the com manication and commerce with the world. The Uuited States must have her fair shire in that tradeOne of the questions now pressing upon us is how to provide governments for these islauds and so to govern and direct affairs a to acquire the commerce t j which we are entitled and secure the consequent prosperity to all our people. Only that party should be entrusted with it that has shown itself most capable of dealing with great affairs. Both in psace and in war the Republican party has proven equal to every emergency, and the record it has made is a guarantee that it will meet these problems of the future and solve thorn with the same triumphant success that has attended it in all its brilliant career. I do not believe any fair minded Democrat would question the fitness of tho Republican party for the discharge of this dutv.
But however it might be otherwise, the work is already in the hands of
President McKinley. What he wants
isjthe support of a Republican houe of representative It is the duty of Ohio to lead him this help- If we do our dutv and come up to the full measure
:lur opportunity, there is ahead ot
ns a career of usefulness, of influence and cf honor greater and grander than
ay language can depict.

The war has done this almost before the people had given the mattei a thought, and the great question now confronts us whether we shall allow these people to remain idle in oui midst or send them forth in newly ac quired territory and into new fields ol labor. The time has come for us to grow and to bring about this end we must have those islands brought under our care by warfare. It is not because vt have grown suddenly avaricious, but the time has come for us to widen out so that we can rank with otLer nations

Mr. Taylor next took np
tion of money, giving this subject as
tne second cause for the Uepublican
to put np a good fight in the coming campaign. He said that the frte sil
ver issue was not dead, as ha some times been stated by the Kepu Oilcans
this year. In a certain sense that
may be true, but in a certain other
sense it is not at all true. The judge then gave a brief review of the history
of the silver question frutn 174, when
the first attempt was made to establish
money on a better basis, until the
present time. In lrJ-J the rauo wa fixed at 15 to 1, and after a thorough
trial it was found that the gold dollar
was worth more as merchandise than
as money, ana in tne ratio was accordingly changed to 1G to 1. After this change was made, it was found
that matters had been exactly reversed
that the silver dollar was wort!
more than the gold. In 1S7S the
government proposed buying up
large amount of silver bullion in order
to place it on a par with gold. They
did this, but in&tead of the silver in
creasing in value it fell from 93 to
some point in CO, and in later years
even lower. The last step was to
leave it in the hands of an interna
tional cotnmissicra, and a trial is neces
sary.
The third topic taken up by the
judge was the miserable attempt of the Democratic party to make an issue out of the alleged mismanagement in the recent war, and he scored them roundly
for being mean enough to take np
sunset resulting trom tne laife
charges of newspaper correspondents
He read the part referring to this
issue in the platforms cf the New York
and New Jersey Democrats. In the
first place," said Mr. Taylor, "this
no issue, ine mistakes ot a war cam
naign is no reason why voters should
vote one way or tne otner. ' tie wnt on to say that there is no doubt some mistakes were made, that it wes
an impossibility that such a short, terrible and effective war should be waged, with a few weeks preparation, without making some mistakes, or without getting a few men in the ranks of overseers, a3 it were, who were in

Mr. Chan. Williams is in receipt of
the following from his son:

tne tact that a local company is form

There was a good attendance, and
great interest was manifested in the
paper read by Mr. W. D. Foulfee on
the snljict, "What Shall We Da With
Our New Acquisitions!" The attitude
taken by Mr. ronlke was somewhat peculiar. He thought the Philippines should be retained in their entirety for
tho present, on account of the fact that we owe such action to the inhabitants of the islands, whom we have undertaken to rescue from Spanish misrule. He stated that we should, after taking the islands, cede them to England, that country being in much better condition to take charge ot the property that this country is, and the act being of such a

Thomas Murray, the blackest
in the United States, i3 in oftie
on a charge ot violating tne laws ol
the land. He has been m for everything from horse-stealing down. The offense alleged this time is assault and
battery, committed some months ago. The assault is said to have been committed on Wiley Thompson Wher arraigned this morning he pleaded not guilty. He said he wished to stand trial, and the trial was set for tomorrow morning. When the mayor went out past the jail later on to look at the site for the new ambulance building, he asked Tom why he didn't plead guilty. He said: "O, I jus' wart to show yon 'at

To another he confidentially stated
that he did commit the assault, aad
that Thompson had knocked down two or three women and then he bumped
up against him (Murray) and that what he did to him 4 was plenty." He
