MUCH FORJUDGE FORAKER.

CINCINNATI, OcJ. 1U.--Ile SecOnu ana

acted for Judge Foraker. Some 800 chairs
on the stage were occupied by dissin-
guished guests of the two parties. The
balconies were reserved for ladies and
their escorts, and the remainder of the
great hall was thrown open, free, to the
multitude at Z O'Clock. In less than halt
an hour it was filled to the last square
foot. Fully 1000 people waited half an
hour for the debate to begin. The inter-
val was occupied with music and with
gOod-humored calls for the faVorite can
didates.
JUDGE FORAKER'S BOW.
Judge Foraker appeared five minutes
before eight and received vociferous
greeting. GOV. Hoadley's appearance,
three minutes later, was signalized in a
like manner. When the applause which
greeted the presentation Of Judge For
aker had subsided, he began by saying he
would briefly review the Toledo discus
sion at that place. He said:
Judge Hoadly devoted his entire opening
speech TO theAdiscussion of personal liberty,
and argued IN favor OF license. He led the au-
dience to think that the only question be-
tween the parties was prohibition. In an
swering him pointed out that there was no
such Issue except such as existed in the vivid
imagination OF the one who fired 100 guns. Ia
honor of Cleveland's nomination" H. poihf4
ed out that the issue was wholly different
that the Republicans proposed to do some
thing practical with the whisky question,
while the Democratic plan was TO do nothing.
Further, he pointed out the reasons why the
last Legislature was not worthy of indOrse-
ment.
THE WHISKY ISSUE.
When Judge Hoadly rejOined he manifested
displeasure because prohibition was not made
an issue. The party had not mt in the Mat
form what he had asked them TO do, but he.
in speeches. had made the issue. Gov. Hoadly
ended by an abuse of the Republican party.
Hence the speaker would now say something
about that party. True IL was out of power,
but it did not so out as did the Democratic
party in 1860. Instead of being condemned,
the Republican party has the unqualified APP
probation of the people. He then reviewed
the leading achievements of the Republican
| party which had been accepted and approved
| even by the Democratic party. Even Mr..
| Hendricks said there was no issue, only COR
| when examined and counted showed the
! greatest victory of all. He begged Judge
Hoadly in the presence of his audience to
utter no more slander against the grand old
| Republican party"
THE BLOODY SHIRT.
/ Referring to the charges that the memories
of the war were being recalled by the Repub
| lIcan party, he said: If that was true, then
! Ohio was behind Virginia, for there the DEM
Ocratic party is carrying on a campaign with
/ II
what the Republicans in Ohio meant by re-
viving the Issues OF the war, was the injustice
of one man in Ohio only having One-seVenth
the political power Of a Georgian. But he
preferred to talk about State politics, and re-
ferred again to the charge of corruption in
the election of senator Payne. The only an
swer OF Judge Hoadly was equal to a confes
sion and avoidance. He only SAID that when
the Democrats did wrong there was an out
cry, while the Republicans kept still.
INTERRUPTED BY THE AUDIENCE.
During this part of his remarks the inter-
ruptions were such that ne stopped, and Gov.
Hoadly rising, sald; ANY Democrat who
| interrupts Judge Foraker is acting badly"
| The house became still and afterWard main
/ tanned better order. Judge Foraker then
went on to repeat in some degree his charges
made before, against the record OF the last
] State Legislature, and said that although il
1 had been guilty OF much extravaganza he
wished It had made one more expenditure
/ that of the cost of taking Gov. Hoadly and

CAT MULLENs."
Referring TO the reorganization of Cincin-
/ natl by taking the police from the Mayor, he
! said that 1t was done that he Mullens might
/ have full sway. lConfusOn.l lie charged

fusal Of the Democrats to sustain the action
! OF the committee OF one hundred which was
trying to prevent fraud at next Tuesday Is

| that license cannot be had under three wears
! At the earliest, Judge HOadly is as much
| prohibitiOnist as DR.. Leonard, the only diff
! ference being that DR.. LeOnard wants absO-
| Lutte prohibition, while Gov. Hoadly wants to
| control by licensing the exclusive few and
| prohibiting all the rest. When his time ex-
| pired Judge Foraker remarked that he was
/ sincerely glad Of IL. lCheers.
/ GOV. HOADLY's REPLY.
Gov. Hoadly replied after tremendous ap-
/ plause. He began by saying that he had two
/ duties to perform--one disagreeable and one
/ agreeable. The disagreeabe one was mis-
/ take OF his own. lie intended 10 say William
/ ii. Seward died q Democrat. but he inadver-
| tently said that President Lincoln died n
! Democrat, and he relied now on the reporters
| to make his apology TO his Toledo audience,
The second duty was to welcome Judge Taft
| back TO his home-to welcome him because,
! though he 10 Republican, he was an open
| in favor Of the license system
/ At Toledo. Judge Foraker brought ia
| questions not In this campaign, the question

/ Judge Taft. As ID Judge, Mr.. Foraker LETT
| the bench too soon 20 learn that he could not
I occupy position neutraliy-that he could not
I be neither for nor against it. ask him 10 say
| now whether he is for or against prohibition.
| The Democratic party never cheated the peO-
/ pie on the subject of temperance Referring
| to Judge f0rakcr's statement that the Re
publican party had been proven honest by the
declaration OF the Trcasurer's bOOks, he
only said that IL did not take a very sharp
man whore he kept both the books and money
% make them agree. Judge Foraker forgot
TO say that the book OF books were the star
route thieves and the failure Of the freedman's
savings bank. Judge Foraker says there is
no difference between the DemOcraticland Re-
publican parties on the subject Of prohibition,
and that there was no difference between she
Democrats and Prohibitionste on hissubject.
