| As an argument In favor OF personal

0JH VII ,Re oTdiDar CO aud not a Repn0'
lican, aud thanked God he was not II X"
publican and that he had the grace TO
leave the party when II no longer had u
m,aeioD To fulfill
No Que was Ia doubt n moment m IN
the est OF the meeting. Hoadly aimed
| " the tender point In his adversary by
bringing the prohibition question aud
sticking TO thai text. He won the favor
| OF his audience with plain statement
| of his own views, saying that he was op'
posed TO local option and prohibition
and In favor OF license, and gave reasons
| why he favored those views. His keen
irony as he spoke OF Foraker sandwiched
between o letter OF introduction 10 Re
publican Legislative candidate Baum
bach, a liQuor seller, when he came 10
Toledo, aud PrOhibiti0nist credentials
when no visited 0berlin, aw0ke no smile
on Foraker's long face, although the
audience laughed heartily.
The speaker closed with q brief legal
argument 10 show that taxation is real
ly license, and iunc0neiitutional. IRE
mendous cheering followed the speech,
LITTLE BREEcHEs sPEAKs HIS PIEcE.
when Judge Doyle introduced hls
man-"Captain Foraker" no called
him-Foraker began speaking In meas
urtd tones. like schoolboy speaking his
piece. He began by slandering dlan'
dOIf, reading a note from one OF bis
henchmen 10 the effect that Glandjff
was q disreputable, dIunken town
Thus you see," said he, why there are
no Republicans In Gland0ri." Foraker
disputed Hoadly'e assertion that LIN
coin ditd q Democrat and said the fact
was Lincoln died by the hands OF n
Democrat. The Rapub can eh0u'ers
greeted these return thruste OF Foraker
with wild cheers. H. raised his hands
IN q gesture commanding silence, which
was unnecessary for the audience soon
relaxed. Foraker thOn mais a long
and labOrpd statement In which no trltd
10 show that someone had told a fnlsa
hood IN arranging the debate
A POINTED QUESTION BADLY ANSWERED
Governor Holily asked Foraker how
he stood on prohibition and local op
ton, hut 10 the minds OF disintere led
listeners II did not appear that no IN lly
an IN 'rly answered the question. He
spent much time IN explaining what he
had said at Defiance aud at PauldiDg,
The point no made was that he could
not tell Just how he would do ", but u
Republican Legislature would surely
meet the great temperance questionl az
promised In their platform, He said
with liquor taxation that no favored ",
aud, la short that hls views on the. on
tire temperance question we're set forth
In the party platform, ave, as Republi.
cans" said he, "fayor taxation because
II means something; while license, nd
vocated by the Democrats, doesn't mean
anything" Having failed 10 anewer the
Governor, he pauaed TO remind the au
dience that the Republican party had
given personal liberty and equality TO
all citizens.
A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN.
After Foraker had mallged the Legis-
lature for electing II, b Payne, no tried
TO make point but absolutely broke
down. He started out TO compare Hoad'
ly's administration with Fosters but
lost his place and fumbIed his manu-
script for nearly ten minutes before no
was able to proceed aud try to show
that Hoadly's administration had cost
the State more than Fosters, In max
Ing the point he uttered another gram
matical treasure, eaying to Governor
Hoadly: "Your administration 10 charg-
cd the same 40 ours are"
"DoDGED AGAINW
Thanking the audience, Judge For
aker retired 10 his seat amid storms Of
applause, which were renewed when
