Referring to Lieut.. Mullen, he said that
what the Republicans wanted was to I'LL the
negro barracks and ehop houses on the pubic
landing with repeaters from Kentucky.
STATE AFFAIRS.
AS to state affairs he said that the ex-
pense es of the ordinary administration OF the
State during the last two years was $l4!,O00
less than eX-GOY, Fosters last two years AS
to legislative fraud in the election of senator
Payne, he said that the only testimony OF
fraud In that election points TO those who
were the friends of the other candidates. As
TO the last Legislature they gave clyll rights
to the colOred men. The Democrats gave the
colored man the right to testify in court The
Democrats gave them the repeal of the black
laws. II may not get their votes, but know
enough TO do the cOlOred man Justice" As to
giving posi- tiOns to soldiers, he said there were

and only wish to say one thing more and
that Is l want Judge Foraker TO tell us Whe-
ther or not he is against prohibition.
Judge Hoadly devoted great deal OF
his time TO answering questions from the
audience. There was no chance given
either j udge Foraker or Gov. HOadly for
continued argument. The confusion and
Interruptions by the audience were con-
tinual. TumuituOus cheering followedfhis

When quiet was restored Judge Foraker
said:
Gov. Hoady began by admitting that he
made mistake at Toledo by saying that LIN
coin died a Democrat. He wished TO say that
1t was just as much mistake 0say that sew
ard died a Democrat. His mistake in this re-
gard arose perhaps from the same cause that
while Lincoln was KILLED by a Democrat Sew
ard was almost killed by another Democrat at
the same time.
Referring to Gov. HOadly's champion
ship Of the cOlored race, he asked how he
could reconcile with that friendship what
he had done for this man Mullen who
perpetrated an outrage upon the c0lOred
people at the last election. How could
Judge HOadly be silent, If he is friend
of the cOlOred race, when he knows that
the cOlOred men south of the Ohio river
are prohibited from voting? The question

audience: "HOw about prohibitiOnp p
Judge Foraker said:
/ told you in the outset that the Republican
party is in favor Of taxation and regulation,
and opposed to the nonsense OF being in favor
of what cannot be accomplished
DODGER.
1t is IN favor of the practical. 1 have not
felt called on TO reply TO the arguments
Gov. HOadly has male by appealing to the
lowest appetite. Gov. HoadIy does not I'M
derstand the men Of the German wards if he
hopes to win their favor by catering to an ap-
petite or a passion.
In conclusion let me say that twenty years
ago | went soldering with the Germans Of
these wards, and know they appreciate the
elements of this cOuntry's greatness. They
have learned the demagOgism @nd hypocrisy
Of the so-caled sold sumptuary' cry
The meeting closed with mingled cheers
for Foraker and HOadly.
