Mr.. Nasty Goes 10 Ohio TO Help HoadIy
1be DISASTROUS Result.
. CoNPRpRIT y ROADS,

ners lessons the amount that he charges to
me fur likker, and felt that I must 10 to
help to bring themossbacks Of Ohio back to
their allegiance. Our candidate in Ohio
htz Il record that needs good deal Of ex.
plainin to the average Dimocrat. Like a
kicken gun, tier is great danger in Judge
Hoadly's rear. The best reasons for votln
agin him kin be found in his own speeches
OF 10 years ago.
The first pint struck was Peterville, in
the southern part Nv the State. / was re-
seeved with open arms, ez every troo
apossel OF Dimocrisy is in that sortuv a
village. The place Is very like the Corners,
the biznis consistin mostly Nv grocery or
two, and the inhabitance bein, ez u rool,
statesmen whose wives do the heft Nv the
work while they are devisin ways and
mems to pay orr the Nashnel debt, leenin
agin sign posts or sittin contemplatively
on dry goods boxes whiulin the rosy
hours away. In SIGH places Dimocrisy
allus runs rampant. There is where We
git our heaviest majorities. U
The yoosual meetln Wus called and after
a conference with the principal grosery
keepers 1t wus desided that shood speek
upon the iniamus Scott law, which taxes
the 'sloon keepers $500 for the privilege NV
getting mortgages upon the nabers farms.
| accedid to to Their request for Their amt
anything which kin so stir the blood Nv
the aynge Dimocrisy ez law which
tends TO embarass the dispenser Nv the
elixer Nv life and hamper them in any
way.
II was a good meetin. There wuz pres.
ent the citizens OF the village and all the
farmers from the kentry adjacent, and l
he'd good hopes OF sowin seed witch would
bring forth harvest in October.
] fortified myself with fax and figgers
and opened out onto EN-.
"Feller citizens" l commenced, "Dim-
ocrisy Is the champion Nv heoman rites
that is, fur wife men,"
"Rahw yelled the meetin in korus.
"Dimocrisy holds that every man htz
the sole rite to control hisself, and that any
law witch SEE wat man shel or shel not
do is intringementon God-given rites"
"Rab!" NE
"a Republican Legislacher last winter
committed outrage on the Dimocrisy. 1t
passed the Scott law. Wat is the Scott law.
my friends? Its a law witch imposed a
duty on wet groceries, 500 dollars fur the
sellin nv beer anu 500 fur the sellin NV
other likkers, witch is jgs; ez necessary e.
beer fur the sustenance w the hooman
family" .
The awjence groaned In korus.
"Wat is the RESULT Under Dimekratic
rool the sloons went on quiet, dom Their
legitimit biznes. No tax collector cum
around to disturb EN-, 700 Good all cum in
when 700 pleased and git yer sustenance,
and things wnz happy and pleasant. Wat
Is 1t now? Their is SO 'sloons in this coun.
ty, and the Republican feends hev taxed
EN- $500 each, which they hev paid. There
Is to-day $4,000 in the county trezry, wich
hsv bin wrung out OF their Diznes, and"-
Up sprung an old farmer from an admin
township.
DO | understand" seq he, "that the
scottlaw hez collected $4,000 from the
'sloon biznes?"
"That's the size Nv it." seq I.
"poes that money 90 to payin' the taxes
nv the. county,"
"It do" ! replied; $4,000 wrung from
the 'sloons."
"Ef fggers don't lie, that's about one,
fifth Nv all the taxes the county hez to pay.
My taxes afore this wuz Sl00a yeer, the
next yeer ! shel hev only about $50 to pay,
which is 90 per- cent Off"
And then this mercinary wretch yelled
"Rah for the Scott law"
"Yoo mustn't 'rah fur the Scott law"
yelled to the infatuated loonatics. "Yoo
amt here to 'rah fur the Scott law, but
agin II. We are agoin' to vote to repeal the
Scott law"
Unite ~ well hey talked to the north
wind Every blastid taxpayer in the avn
ence jined him, and they all got to their
feet and remsrkt in k0rus that persnel liber.
ty wuz blessed thing, and many struggle
Tor the maintenance Nv persnel liberty
they'd send substitoots with muskits on
their shoulders, tE gillinly az they did fur
the maintenance Nv the Yoonun, doorin
the late iratrisidle struggle, but inezmuch
ez they Good get all the likker they mite
want at the reglar price, FIVE cents fur beer
and ten cents fur whisky, strate, they
couldn't see how persnel rites wuz inter
iered with ut all. But the maxim the
sloons pay one-ffth OF the taxes wus a
sweet boon WITCH coodent be too highly
commended.
