lot an OuG-QOOr n6eLlng 1Or Lh6 rdLlHcd-
tion of the nominations of theDemocratic
state convention tonight were interfered
with by rain and the meeting was held in
the German Society hall, which was insult
ficient to hold the crowd gathered from
the city and brought in by special trains.
General F. Vanderveer presided at the
meeting and stated he had dispatch from
Senator Pendleton saying he could not be
present on account of i'll health.
Judge Hoadly was greeted with cheers
when introduced and began by saying he
was here as representative of the old
Democracy of Butler, as old as Jefferson,
but so new that God willing it shall
newly occupy the offices of the state and
nation. In paying high personal COM
phment to mis- opponent, Judge Foraker,
ne said the ticket was nominated to follow
the old beaten paths He was willing to
be the butt of all personal attacks as to
character and belief, but had no quarrel
with the personnel of the opposite party,
but would hold high conflict with the prin-
ciples of the Republican party.
He then proceeded to consider the Re
publican platform, saying he wished to
avoid making key note speech, as last
| years effort in that direction by Governor
Foster was disastrous. Taking the first
declaration of achievements of the Re-
publican platform he said the party had
habit of getting back of the future and to
point with pride to the past. He had
some knowledge of that past. He then
proceeded to read humorous paraphrase
of the platform as it ought to be written.
He included among the achievements the
tn eft of the presidency, the whisky ring,
| the star route frauds, the destruction of
the navy and of the mercantile marine, the
ri yer and harbor stealings, etc. These
furnished, he said, reasons why Chase AID
Greeley and thousands ofgood Republicans
should leave the party.
To illustrate the difference between the
two parties he referred to the four great
political prosecutions since the war. The
first was the impeachment of Johnson-it
was malicious. The second. the whisky
onspiracy, was failure and the third has
Just come to naught. The fourth was not
inaugurated by the Republicans and there
fore failure-the Tweed corruption in
New York. This act of publication was
done by Samuel j. Tilden of New York.
The Republicans failed to punish their
thieves, but the Democracy strangled
theirs.
Referring to the tariff plank of the Re-
publican platforul, he said it was not IN
line tonight to discuss this, but would
soon 90 so. He believed the Democratic
view expressed in its platform was Gods
truth.
i Speaking of the wool tariff plank he said
|
condemned its own action. In this regard
the confession that it was wrong in cutting
down the wool tariff, was a good reason fol
the punishment of the Republican party
He dealt with this subject by ridiculing
. the declaration that the wool tariff should
be restored at the first possible opportu
nifty.
D Passing to the resolution about the
prison convict system, he said this was q
rebellion of the Republican party against
its own legislature. The abolition OF
prison convict labor was specifically de-
feated by the late Republican Legislature.
In regard to the liquor traffic, and the
endorsement of the Scott law, he said the
platform approved of the Scott law as il
\ is, starting with the proposition tina
! that which is intrinsically wrong is not {
( wrong, when abused, the duty of a citi
zen is to regulate it. Crime against
women is wrong and deserves compromise
in its treatment, but drinking glass O.
Z wine, beer or whisky is wrong when i
reaches to abuse and any effort to prohibit
it is a revolution of private right and il
wrong. If he believed with the prohibi
t tionists that all alcohol is poison, that the
,-k@ =.
Cana, then he would go with
I the prohibitionist with all force to have
prohibition Believing that intemper-
ance consists not in the use but in the
abuse of alcohol. he believed in a gradua
. ted license system that shonld bear pro-
: tportion to the amount of the traffic and to
the amount of injury the traffic may do.
> The Scott law makes no distinction, but
; says anyone may for 5000 make as many
drunkards as he can, when license could
! be revoked in cases of abuse. 1t was hi;
honest or inion that bill that withdraws
dram shops from the law is not temper
ance measure. It will not reclaim one
drunkard in the state. No man hated the
abuses of intemper8nce more than he and
no man in Ohio would go farther than ht
to protect citizens i'll the proper use ot
Intoxicating liquor
Referring to the first amendment sub
mitted for the taxation of the liquor traffic
he declared he could not understand it:
meaning. AS to prohibition amendment
7 he argued that the decision of the
/ supreme court makes such an amendment
a unnecessary as under that decision the
: legislature has already power to prohibit
3 the traffic in intoxicating liquors and to
/ prove it, he read from the supreme court
5 opinion in the Scott law decision, by
: partly reasoning that every fragment
r used with regard to sale applies to mann
facture. -.ee7aes, tts-, ,4,.
Il He charged the Republicans with trying
| to conciliate the temperance men by max.
> ing them believe that taxation of saloons
r will reduce their number, and with trying
i. to conciliate the prohibitionists by submit
3 ting a prohibition amendment on the
5 other hand. The repeal of the dram shop
3 law was an appeal to the liquor men. He
> declared the right principle for dealing
/ with the liquor traffic to be the regulation
3 of its abuses, and not the prohibition.
3 Believing in the principles of the old
Jeffersonian Dem mocracy, which shall con-
, troll the new Democracy about to be
usbered into power, he asked support for
