Ihe Proposed Joint Discassiun-Thc Cost
of II uudiy's Nomination.

OF H0ndiy's nomination.
CINCINNATI, July Sl:-All the probabili-
ries are favorable for joint debate between
Foraker apd HoadIy.
The latter did not come down town yes
terday until late in the afternoon, and re.
porter asked him what he intended doing
in reply to the expressed willingness OF
Foraker 10 meot him face to face on the
platform. Judge 'Hoadly said he had tele.
graphed Nr. Ballentine, Secretary Of the
Democratic Executive Committee at 90.
lumbus to put himself In communication
with the Republican Committee, With the
object OF bringing about O joint debate il
| it was thought desirable.
Judge Foraker is quite ready for the
fight. He will 60 into it modestly but
strong heartedy. He hag already shown
that be has the true steel in him. He has
stood in the front lines before, face to face
With the enemy. Republicans the State
over have full confidence in their gallant
and talented yopngL leader.
Although Democratic newspapers outside
the State have been loudly demandinE that
Hoadly should challenge Foraker, it is
known that there was q sort Of tacit under
standing between the two gentlemen that
the campaign should be an impersonal one,
so far as they were concerned. Foraker
treated Hoadly in this spirit. HoRdly,
however, in'his Celina speech, and particu.
larly that at Piqua, undertook to attempt
10 play the schOolmaster over his political
opponent, and put series OF questions to
him. At last IL appears to have dawned
upon Hoadly's mind that the law Of oppo-
sitiou against the Scott law lac had mapped
out for himself was not tenable. For in
stance, in his Celina speech he de6ed any
one to prove that the Scott law had closed
one saloon in the State. 1t had not, he
declaredp-on the contrary he had been in-
formed that. In one county new saloon
had started since that lsy had come into
operation, Therefore it was not law ip
the interest oil temperance, but one for
"drunkard making" aud consequently he
was opposed TO it.
CLEAR OFF.
At Piqua he had very little to say on this
point. He was "Clear Off in his declara-
ton, for it has been shown that in nineteen
counties sos saloons have shut up shop
siuce old DR.. scott's $500 prescription was
administered. So he pokes lot Of ques=
tions at Poraker--or 'chucks" them, to
borrow the classic language oil the learned
gentleman. Foraker mad made his position
80 clear; had so unequivuCally confessed
his political faith, that he could not see the
"whereiore" OF Hoadly's questions. SO, at
Newark, on Saturday, Foraker said il
Hoadly could not understand him he had
better "moye up llosGr," and he offered to
divide his time with him at Corning next
Wednesday. a.,
Secretary Ballentine thinks, no doubt, he
saws something very smart when he asserts
that Foraker merely, played u game oi
HbluiT'-that he knew Hoadly would be in
Alapama on Wednesday. Judge Foraker
Is q Republican geptleman, not Demo
craticpoker player, ,apd-perhgps q little uu-
fortunately ior him us politiGian-he does
not understand the great American game
OF "bluG." Judge Foraker was under the
impression that Judge Hoadly would not

was going to make another political speech
in Ohio tirst. Judge Foraker Is not partic'
