Governor Foraker opened the campaign at Carpwett, Ohio, to the largest local audience. He urged support for Republican principles and discussed state and national issues, highlighting the finances of Hoadly's administration and subsequent fiscal remedies, and stressing the national impact of the coming election.
The speaker argues the preceding administration left a depleted treasury and rising local debt. He claims objections about an empty treasury are unfounded, cites oversized unpaid appropriations, reduced revenue from Scott law repeal, and increased local indebtedness. He notes borrowing $500,000, debt refinancings lowering interest, and steps to improve property taxation and revenue, including Dow law re enactment and bond refinancing.
The speaker defends election reforms in Cincinnati and Columbus, rebuts Powell on allegations of extravagance, recounts past frauds, and praises Republican victories. He emphasizes honest elections, reduced debt, soldiers' care, and strong taxes while arguing for a protective tariff to develop industries, foster internal commerce, and unite the nation. He condemns attempts to praise the Confederacy, defends Lincoln era gains, and urges unity under one flag.
The Democratic press argues Republicans imposed the whisky tax to fund war debt and should keep it while opposing protectionist policies. Ohio Democrats announce they will bring Carlisle Morrison Hurd Watterson to stump for the ticket, signaling courage on tariff questions.
