JUDGE FORAKER OPENS THE BALL

And Defends the Republican Party In
t~erruptions In the Audience.
When the applause had subsi3ed, be be-
g,n by saying he would briefly resume the
Toledo discussion. At thai place Judge
Hcadly devoted his entire opening speech to
the discussion of personal liberty and ar,
1ued in favor Of ~license. He led the au'
iierce to think that the only question be.
tween the parties was prohibition. In an
sweIing him l pointed out that there wa.
no such issue except such as existed in the
vivid imagination of one who fred loo
guns in honor of Clevelaud's nomination.
he went On to Say be pointed out that
he issue was usually diferent-tkat the
Republicans proposed to do something
practical With the whisky question, while
ihe democrats plan was 10 do nothing
Further, be pointed out reasons why the
last legislature was not worthy Of endorse
uent. When Judge Hoadly rejoined, he
manifested displeasure because Prohibition
Rss not made an issue. The party had not
out in tie platform what Re had asked them
70. but be, in speeches, and made the issue.
Goy,rStr Hoadly ended by an abuse Of
Tho Republican Party,
hence II speaker would TOW say something
about that party. True it was out OF power,
but it did not go out as did the Democratic
party in 1860. Instead OF being condemned,
the Republican party enjoys the unqualified
appreciation of the people. He then re-
viewed the leading achievements of the Re.
publican party which bad been accepted
and approved even by the Democratic par.
~. Even Mr.. Hendricks said there we're no
Issues, only corruption and fraud, but the
books and the money when examined and
counted showed the greatest victory of all.
He begged Judge Hoadly, in the presence
of this, to utter no more SANDER against
the grand old Republican party.
Referring to charges that
The Memories of the War
were being recalled BY the Republican party
he said if that was true then Ohio was be
hind Virginia, for there the Democratic
party is carrying on a campaign with only
Gen. Lees memory as an issue. But what
Republicans in Ohio meant by reviViDg is-
sues of the war was the injustice Of one
man in Ohio, only having one-seventh the
political power of a Georgian. But he pre-
terred TO talk about State politics. and re-
ferred sgain to the charge OF corruption IN
the election OF Senator Payne. The only
answer Of Judge Hoadly was equal to a
confession and avoidance. He only said
that when Democrats did wrong there was
an cutlery, while Republicans kept still.
Foraker Interrupted Ey the Audience.
During this part of his remarks the in.
rerruptiors were such that he stopped, aud
Gov. Hoadly rising, said: "Any Democrat
who interrupts Judge Foraker is acting
badly" The house became still and after
ward maintained better order.
Judge Foraker then vent on to repeat in
some degree his charges made before
against records of the State Legislature aud
sold although it had been guilty Of much
extrsvsgance Re wished be had made one
more expenditure, that of the cost OF taking
Gov. Hoadly and staff to attend the funeral
Of Gen. Grant. Applause.
Referring to the bonded Indebtedness
OF OllO ALu inc ESluuNiDB SNH
tract at 365 per cent,
which Gov. Hoadly disapproved. Gov.
Hoadly said Secretary Robinson had sp-
rsovgG thet contract. II have q telegram"
he said, from Secretary Robinson saying
that Gov. Hosdly had approved the 4 per
cent" Referring 10 the reorganiz alton OF
Cincinnati by taking the roice from the
Mayor, he said it was done that Lieutenant
Mullons might have full sway. Confusion.
He charged that the disposition to have
Lieutenant Mullons in power was further
shown BY the refusal Of the Democrats to
sustain the action Of the committee OF 100
which is trying to prevent fraud at next
Tuesdays election.
Returning to the temperance issue, he
said license cannot be had under three
years at the earliest. Judge Hoadly is as
much a prohibihonist as DR.. Leonard, the
only difference being Leonard wants aoso-
lutte prohibition, while Hosdly wants to con-
troll By licensing the exclusive few and p!o-
hibiting al the rest.
When his time ez7ired Judge Foraker re-
marked that he was sincerely glad of 1t.
