Ohio Liquor Dealcrs In Convention.
OPPOSITION TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY-A DEMO-
CRATIC GOVERNOR OF OHIO MEANS DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENT.
TOLEDO August 10-The Ohio liuuor dealers
protective association met in convention yester-
day, 90 delegates being present William Backs,
chairman OF the association, was chosen presi-
ton, was made secretary OF the convention. The
chair then stated that the object or the meeting
was to organize for the fall political campaign
and to take into consideration all other questions
OF interest The obnoxious laws, he SAID, passed
by the republican legislature had caused great
by the last two elections. He thought that their
hopes rested with the democrats and their success
depended on the defeat OF the republican party.
A democratic governor OF Ohio Ia 1888 means a
democratic president in 1884, and the work, there
fore, for them was plain
THE RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED
were to the effect that there are rights II every
free government beyond the control OF the state.
and government ignoring them was a deSpot-
ism. The money exacted under the Scott and
Russell bills was a legalzed extortlon and rob-
berry. The Scott bill was conceived I'm demagogue-
ism and passed under false title, and is hypo-
pTstense 70 nI sne exs OF te liquor
OF legislative power Ior corrupt political purposes
1t was understandable and tyrannicaI, with no
its attempted passage was monstrous; that all
ella asses of persons were interested in warring
against the Scott law, which would otherwise
tutions OF the country; that In consequence OF
the aforesaid action OF the republican party the
association should act with the democracy, poiti-
cally, In the coming campaign. The association
opposed the first proposed amendment to the
state constitution because It recognizes the lpgtt
macy OF the trafic In intoxicating liquors only so
as to provide against the evils resulting there
from, IN the amendment 1t IS provided that the
power OF the general assembly to levy taxes
or assessments on the trafflc shall not be limited
by any provision OF this constitution; investing
the general assembly with unlimited power OF
taxation. The amendment contravenes the funda-
mental principles OF equal and just taxation:
grants powers transcendng the legitimate legisla-
tive authority OF the state, and authorizes the
general assembly under the pretext OF taxation to
absolutely prohibiting the traf1c. An issu Is
thus drawn into our annual elections that should
be kept out OF politics. but that will become the
absorbing question at the polls to the exclusion
OF great and vital questions OF government that
should be determined at the ballot box.
