~ Judge ,lainsan's Remarks. 4

Y COLUMBUS, Oct. Jo.-The Democrati,
brethren do no agree us 10 the expedlenc,
Of having tho Scott law declared unconsti
tional on the eve OF m election for the
purpose Of catching votes. Many Of them
are fearful that 1t will prove another
boomerang and some even declare It the
most foolish thing that could have been
done and wonder what idiocy will next dc.
velop itself. !ii-: ia.
At Democratic headquarters they arc
rubbing their hands in high CLEO, aud ex.
press the belief that the decision wruns
from the Supreme Court was tho most
adroit movement of3,hc campaign. They
expect 1t TO eivo them IL lurg. sum Of
money to throw into the fight at the last
moment. In short, they expect the saloon
keepers and liquor dealers to bleed liber-
ally. They also claim Tint it will give them
Hamilton county, aud perhaps Cnyahoga.
Ihis Ilttla dodge Of proSiituting u court,
they think, will win back the German
vote to them. They caro- nothing for the
financial ,'li that thedecision has brought
about They care nothing for tho bur
uehs illAt the tax-papers will have TO bear,
N order to give them Il little alleged 10.
!itlcal advantage. The last act OF the
Democratic managers illustrates how little
they have the welfare OF tho people NJ
heart, and how little they care Tor those
who bear the burdens OF taxation.
.g'E TREASURES ROBBED. RI. Isl
Millions OF dollars are knocked ont OF
the State Treasury ut one blow, and t.isas.
ter and ruin stare the cities and towns OF
the State in the face, and all done by II
partisan decision, dictated from the rooms
OF the Democratic State Committee, at the
Park Hotel, and promulgated in advance
OF the Supreme Court from the mouths OF
ward bnmmcrs and strikers in Columbus
ana al! over the State. In fact, it seems
to be m underatood thing among the d.
mocracy everywhere that The cour, would
do Just what it did. This was privately
circulated two weeks ago among tho Dc.
morracy and the liquor interests, t
The decision leaves tho finances OF
Columbus in a deplorablc condition, For
Il long lime the city has been depending
upon the nloucyto he derived should the
laws stand, and the decision has been Il
severe blow. Tho police force suffers ter.
ribly. Atthe end OF this month the de-
partnlent will beabout $4,000 in debt in
addition to $1,000 overtrawD. Last wear
the Scott iaw tax in this county amounted
to S66, ,lol o.. vi this amount Sl9,Ol3 50
went to the poor fund, and was disbursed
among The incorporated villages, and this
city, III Franklin county.
