I lag leave to address my remarks directly
to the Democrats of Ohio. In view of oar for
m, reatteaus, I trust they will not for title
'apreal accuse rue cf impropriety.. When

at the State, you, ray fellow citizens, lavished
are at i expresFiehe of . applause: and coafi
ehfce, ler watch I was duly grateful. But the
Deteceratic it.flationieta seek .to discredit my
aced faith by the accusation that I have
caged rides. Let
. us sae. In 1872, I stood
tore u as an advocate of the Liberal
.1 -t-ka . f.'w hich had also •been adopted 'and Wits
seraprt. d taro Democrats. That ticket was
',alai:mud- upon a 'platform containing, as an

T . The aublic credit must be sacredly main
taiaeti, and we denounce repudiation in eve •y
t tut eral a,uise. A speedy retarn to specie
teantente is:demanded alike by the highest
orsiaerutions ot courruercial morality' and
ast gcairianent.”
That -plat torm was solemnly indo4aed anti
adopted, as the political faith of the Deinocratic
party by their National Convention at Balti
more. Upon that platform they stead then
. and upon it I faithfully stand to•day. Demo•
..ritte, where are You ? In making that decla

UNLIMITLT) INFLATION TOE OBJECT OF TIIE

But before procteding to this demonstration
I mutt notice an evasion resorted to by some
Democratic leaders, who seem to feel the sore
ness of that point. Here and there the pre
tense is put forth that the Ohio platform does
not mean an inflation of our irredeemable
currency at all, but merely adaptation of it to
the wants of trade. This argument is used to

" Thee men ( meaning his opponents) go
about and cry, ' There - is too much money in

come of it. 1 [Laughter.] They say 4is in
the banks. Is it? It might just as wcl.l, for

Lotion, of the Pacific Ocean, for if it is not in
Circulation idle no more money than so many
corn-sia ks would be. To be money, it must
citeulate as a:: medium for carrying on the ex

This, tltenj is Gov. Allen's doctrine. I do
not wish to ispeak harshly of the venerable
