against. ! task HIM TO say now whether
he is for or against prohibition. The
Democratic party never cheated the
people OF the subject Of temperance.
Referring 10 Judge Foraker's state
ment that the Republican party hsd
been proven honest by the declaration
Of the Treasury books, he only said
that it did not take very sharp
man, where he kept both the books
and money, TO make them agree.
Judge Foraker forgot 20 say that the
book OF books were the star thieves
and the failure Of the Freedman's Saw
irgs Bank. Judge Foraker says there
is no difference between the Democratic
and the Republican parties on the sub
iect Of prohibition. and there was no
difference between Democrats and Pro
hibitionists. On this subject J stand
for irrational graded license system. /
stand Tor the right Of control. J ask
your votes. because my party has been
consistent with such principles and the
Republican party has been false to
theirs. The Legislature elected IN
1881 declared for the principles Of the.
Scott law, and it led to a revolution IN
Cincinnati the following year, giving
immense msiorities for the Democratic
Secretary Of State.
Referring 10 the partisan police power
power gwen the present city authorities
by the last Legislature, he said
- Why was it not right, If the Repub-
licans took the same methods when
johnson was the Democratic mayor OF
Cincinnati In 1854 the Democratic
party formed the temperance Legislation
which protected minors, prevented the
sale Of liquors 10 drunkards, and
gave protection by allowing civil
process il damages against those
breaking the laws and this
lasted until the Republicans tired 70
amend the morals o. the people by
enacting the Scott law. The last Legs
lzture tined 10 declare II favor Of IL
cense. and every Democrat was present
and voted II favor Of It. But three
recreant Republicans. who had before
declared IN favor Of license. backed
water. and in obedience 70 the demands
Of the Republican Caucus, refused 70

Referring 10 Lieutenant Mullens. be-
said that what the Republicans wanted
was 10 fill the negro barracks and crop
houses OF the public landing with re-
ueaters from kentucky.
As to State affairs. he said that tha
expenses Of the ordinary administrator

FORAKER's CLOSING REMARKS.
When quiet was restored Judge For
sker said .' Governor Hoadiy began by
admitting thai ne made mistake a.
Toledo by saving that Lincoln dled a
democrat. lie wished t. say that Il
wa Just a much 2 mistake 70
say thai Seward died a democrat.
The mistake T. this regarl arose.
perhaps. NON the same cause that
while Lincoln was killed DT a democrat,
+ Seward wa almost killed Dy another
r democrat a. the same time. Referring
10 Governor Hoadiy's championship O.
