Leonard, the only difference being that
Leonard wants absolutely prohibition
while Hoadley wants to control by
licensing the exclusive few and prohib-
iting all the rest. When his time ex-
pired, Judge Foraker remarked, that
he was sincerely glad Of it. [Cheers
Gov. Hoadley replied. After ire
menaous applause he began by saying
he had two duties to perform, one
d~isagreeable one was mistake Of his
own. He intended to say that VIM.
H. Seward died a Democrat. and he re-
lied now on the reporters to
make his apologies to his Toledo
audience, his second duty was to well
come Judge Taft back to his home, to
welcome him because though he is a
Republican, he was an open enemy, and
yet had heretofore argued in favor OF a
license system. At Toledo Judge For
aker brought in questions not in this
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of religion-in
which Judge Taft and tagree, and l
leave Judge Foraker to argue them
with Judge Taft. AS a judge Mr..
Foraker left the bench too soon to
learn that he could not occupy a posi-
ton of neutrality, that he could not be
neither for or against. l ask him to
say now whether he is for or against
prohibition. The Democratic party
has never cheated the people on the
subject of temperance. Referring to
Judge Foraker's statement that the
Republican party had been proven
honest by the examination of the
treasury books, he only said that 1t
did not take a very sharp mar when he
kept the books and the money to
make them agree. Judge Foraker
forgot to say that back OF the books
were the star route thieves and the
Freedman's Savings Bank. Judge
Foraker says there is NO difference be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
parties on the question of prohibition,
and that there was no difference be-
tween the Democrats and Prohibition
lists on this subject. l stand for a Ma
tional graded license system, and
l stand for the right Of
self.control. 1 ask your votes
because my party has been con-
s.stent with such principles, and the
Republican party has been false to
them. The legislature elected in 1881
declared for the principles of the Scott
law, and it led to a revolution in Gin
cinnati the following year, giving i'm
mense majorities for the Democratic
secretary of State. Referring to the
partisan police power given to the
present city authorities, by the last
legislature, why was 1t not right il the
Republicans took the same method,
when G. W. G. johnson was the Dem.
ocratic mayor of Cincinnati. In 1854,
The Democratic party favored temper
ance legislation, which protected
minors, prevented the sale Of liquors
to drunkards and gave protection by
allowing civil process in damages
against those breaking the law, and
this code lasted until the Republicans
tried to amend the morals of
the people by enacting the Scott
law. The last Legislature tried to
declare in favor Of license and
every Democrat was present and voted
in favor of it, but three recreant Re-
publicans, who had before declared in
favor of license, backed water, in ODE
dience to a Republican caucus and re-
fused to vote at all. AS to Glansdorf,
he said the friends Of Glansdorf, and
they were numbered by the thousand,
would hardly feel friendly to Judge
Foraker for saying that they were a
lawless and troublesome set. He
hardly thought Judge Foraker was
responsible for it as the information
was handed him by Mr.. Swan, of To-
ledo. Gov. Hoadley then cited two
townships in Anglaise county with
large Democratic majorities and many
saloons, but with no prosecutions for
lawlessness. He then asked again,
"Judge Foraker, are you for or against
prohibition? ?" You have another half
hour TO answer in, and you can surely
answer this question in that tine.

against the bloody shirt. There have
been two sermons on the mount lat7ly
-one from Mt. McGTegor and n
from Mt. Gilead, the one full of love
and peace, and the other full of hate
and war against n half of the people;
the one on Mt. McGregor. the other on
Mt. Gilead. l am for Grant and
against Sherman.
Referring to Lieut.. Mullen, he said
that the Republicans wanted to fill the
negro barracks and crap houses on the
public landing with ~repeaters from
kentucky. AS to State affairs he said
the expenses of the ordinary admins
tration of the State the last two years
was $14, 100 less than Fosters last two
years.
AS to the legislative fraud in the
election of Payne, he said the only tes-
timony of fraud in that election points
to those who were friends of other
candidates. AS to the last leg
islature they gave civil rights
