Some IhIHgS t0 Think AbJut In ONO.
The Ohio campaign is going ahead with
steam engine force, although the speech
making hasn't broken out in all its threat
ened fury. The people are thinking, aud
the newspapers are giving them something
to think about. The Legislature also gave
them something to turn over in their
minds, and that something goes by the
name Of the Scott liquor law.
This law is bringing money into
the county and city treasures,
aud the tax laws are being re-
duced. In many counties there will be no
poor levy at all, the revenue IRON the
Scott law being sufficient to support the
DOOR establishments. The people are
thinking abont this. 1t isan argument
which makes itself and achieves its over.
whelming vindication in the public Golfers.
Here Is a revenue, Of which Ohio has been
deprived for thirty years, reclaimed now
without Injustice to any interest. The
reclamation will bring to the State more
than 9,OOO,O 900, and this after the State has
lost hardly less than $iO,00O,OO0 by its
wasted opportunities.
Taxpayers are thinking OF all this. Each
man is.able to apply it to his own tax bill,
and he knows how II came about; he
knows which party fought for and accom-
plished it, and which opposed tho law, de-
clared it unconstitutional and is now en-
deavoring to array public sentiment against
i Reasonable men in the liquor business
% taking a more favorable view oil the law,
accepting it rs fair solution OF the prob
lem. Those Prohibitionists who are favor
ed with an occasional lucid interval are
getting away from the fine sentiment that
the State ought to accept no revenue from
the liquor traffic. The indications are that
the Prohibition tom-fool ticket will not be
largely supported thtsyear, and that means
Republican gain.
The bran.newness Of Hoadly's Demo-
crazy means an inevitable loss Of votes to
the Democratic ticket. The old war horses
and their friends are not taking kindly to
the ticket; they are letting it take care Of
itself. National questions ara bound to
take prominent place IN the campaign.
Republicans will force them Il the Demo.
Gratis don't. The tariff issue will be pushed,
and critical analysis mode OF the crocodile
tears which the Democrats are weeping
over the wool tariff, which they forced Con
gress to reduce.
There is going to be hot campaign-it
is fairly warm now-ard the indications
favor Republican success.
