WE TAKE PLEASURE in adding our in
dorsement to the proposition to make Hon.
G. G. Washburne the Republican candi-
date for representative from this county. If
long and faithful and efficient service in the
party gives any one claims to recognition
he is better entitled to the place than any
Republican. in the county. Besides his
profession has given him great familiarity
with political and legal questions and his
qualifications are therefore second to none.
By every consideration he should receive
the nomination and it ought to be rendered
him by acclamation. We have none but
the best of feeling toward the other candi.
dates who may aspire to this position and
intend no reflection on their qualifications
but all can not have it and we insist that
on the ground of both merit and ability he
is entitled to the nomination.

the best remedy that can be applied. 1t lis
vastly better than system which precludes
the imposition of any restraints. Though
it legally permits the liquor traffic, and in
this sense licenses il, it does so under re-
straints and limitations which are designed
to lessen it, and thereby lessen its evils.
This is the real character and purpose of
every license system; and just in proper
ton as the system is so framed as to bring
about this result it is useful to the cause of
temperance. 1t has in view the same end
which prohibition, wherever practicable,
more effectuslly accomplishes. There is
no reason why prohibitionist, not able to
realize his theory, should not give his
hearty support 10 the license theory or the
taxation theory, as far better than to leave
the liquor traffic, like that in wheat or
corn, without any restraint by law. The
real difference between his theory and the
license theory is one only of degree, and
not at all of purpose or end. Let him make
as many converts as he can to his theory
but let him not quarrel with or denounce
those who do not on this subject come up
to his mark

TIE SECRET is out. 1t is now certain
that Judge Hoadly paid rather high for his
nomination. j. 81. Woodward, of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, in a letter to Governor
Foster, admits the whole affair and mildly
takes Foster to task for giving what he
calls confidential talk to the public, for
the reason that it shows lack of sympathy
for Judge Hoadly in his trying situation,
and it severely pains the Judge to have the
matter made public. He threatens never
again to let Foster into any Democratic Sc
crets if he can not keep them better. The
Enquirer man is in a very embarrassing
position and makes an exceedingly lame
attempt to justify himself and throw the
blame on Gov. Foster. 1t is very touch
ing tale. An appeal to ones sympathies.
We pity Judge Hoadly, because he is a
political make-shift, q trader in votes, be-
cause he is unsettled in his political views,
and leans in whatever direction the wind
blows. We pity him because he is evident
ly without much principle. We are thank
full to Gov. Foster that he made use of his
opportunity to reveal to the public the true
inwardness of the new Democracy. That
he has given the voters of Ohio chance to
choose between political crank and an
upright, honest man. How proud we would
be of Governor who bought his way to
office. The new Democracy is evidently
| very rotten, even worse than the old. An
other new Democracy built on the same
plan as this one, won't have enough vitality
to keep from making such a stencil that
we shall be obliged to kick the whole con-
Germ out of the State. We wonder if all
the leaders of the new Democracy are SC
rotten and demoralized that they have to
put up with the outcasts of the Republican
party. Hoadly does not say how much his
nomination cost him, but admits that he
has been bled quite severely and laments
that the bleeding is still kept up with more
than usual vigor. That such a man can
dare to hope for success in politics is more
than we can understand. That he dare
offer himself for the suffrages of the people
is preposterous. We hope that the coming
elections will show by an unusuallylarge ms
jority that the sympathies of the people of
Ohio are not with man who has no opin-
ions of his own, who does not hesitate to
adopt corrupt methods to carry out his
ends; who has no religion, and who open
| ly avows his allegiance to the rum interests
can not afford to countenance the new
Democracy. 1t is rotten. Bury it.

Our PROHIBITION FRIENDS who propose
to run a separate State ticket should re-
member that every vote for that is half a
vote for the Democracy, and they have al
ready given notice that if they elect the
next Legislature, they will repeal what
laws we have regulating the liquor traffic
and give US license straight. Those who
excuse themselves by claiming that the
Scott Law is license, will have to choose
between license of $500 year and one of
one-quarter or one-half that amount, for the
complaint is that the present rate is burden
some and exorbitant. If the Prohibition
Amendment is defeated and the Republi-
can ticket also, by reason of Prohibition
State ticket, its supporters, we presume,
viii stand ready to divide up that little two
millions the saloon keepers now pay, among
themselves, and put it into the State Treas
ury. We can assure them the liquor deal
ers will be greatly obliged to them, as ii
will add to their profits cool 100000
year This is enough to support our poor
and all the asylums and benevolent insti-
tutions of the State. For our part, until
we can prohibit the traffic and so largely
reduce the necessity for such expenses, we
prefer to let those who are mostly respon-
sible for them foot the bills. Werepudiate
all responsibility and object to paying
taxes any longer, that they may go on in
creasing their i'll gotten gains. "Our Prohi-
bition or nothing" friends are regarded by
the liquor dealers as their most faithful
allies, because the defeat of the Republi-
can party, for which they are both laboring,
means the success of the Democracy and
the reduction or abolition of their taxes.
We must be very obtuse, but really we can
not comprehend the wisdom or the NOR
ais of such policy.
