ACCORDING to the report, when speaking of
the taxation of the liquor traffic, Governor
Hoadly said: Eternal taxation is odious to
me-" 1t is very remarkable that the eternal
taxation of the workingman's little home and
the poor widows little personal property was
never odious to Mr.. Hoadly; it is only when
the whisky saloon is touched that taxation
becomes "odious." That is the Democratic
idea and platform. Taxation Of the saloon is
"odious;' increase the levy and rate upon real
estate and personal property.

THE South is to be telicitated over its
bounteous crop prospects. Present indica-
tons are that it will surpass in volume all of
former years. The corn crop will exceed that
Of last year by SO, 900, 900 bushels. The cotton
crop, not yet out of danger from frost aver
ages greater now in promise than ever before
at this period of the season, and it will
doubtless be much the greatest ever produced.
Other crops are equally promising, and, alto
gether, the outlook for the South is very
bright. This ought to beget a spirit of con-
tentment, and to teach the South that life is
worth living after all.

Prohibition candidate for Governor of Ohio,
the toast and ale camp-meeting story which

Infamous lie." The facts are given with a

DR.. Leonard is in a bad fx-not so much be-

A FEW days ago the papers contained an
account of an aged man in Chicago who was
refused food and shelter by his well-to-do sons
and daughters, whom he had provided for I'M
til years had rendered him helpless. This dis
tressing story served as basis for number
of editorial essays, several Of them in New
York papers, on the decline Of flial affection
in the present generation. A case almost pre-
cisely similar to that in Chicago has Just oc-
CURED in New York, feeble old man Of
seventy-fve being found on the street suffer
ing from a lack of food, which his chill
dren declined to give him. This second
instance will point the moral drawn from the
first; but, nevertheless, as two swallows do
not make summer, most people will refuse
to believe that two cases of heartlessness
prove a general decline Of flial love. The
pathway OF the old might be made smoother
than it is oftentmes, but there is evidence on
every hand to show that as civilization ad-
vances the wants of the aged come more and
more to be regarded as second in importance
only to those of helpless children.

DIR. LEONARD'S TOAST AND ALE.
G. w. GLADDEN. Makes Affidavit TO the Truth
fitness OF His Charge.
tor of the Commercial Gazette:

To the Editor of the Commercial Gazette:
I notice in the Enquirer of Aug. 10. 1886 a
telegram from DR.. A. B. Leonard dated Uh-icks-
vile. Aug. - in which Dr. Leonard Prohibition
Society, said ''the camp-meeting story in the
Commercial Gazette of to-day was an Infamous
le.' signed A. b. Leonard.
Now, | wish to say the camp-meeting story is
true, verbatim, published below During the
first summer of Dr. Leonard's pastorate at St
Johns M. f. Church, Cincinnati, o., Brother
Leonard was at my house to dinner This family,
| think. had gone to Kansas on visit. when he
took something like an inward spasm, caused by
that terrible disease, dyspepsia. | helped him
from the table to the parlor, and he
laid down on the sofa and after he
got able l said to him: Brother Leonard,
let me take you in my buggy to DR.. O. e.
Newton" (since deceased) He consented The
Doctor examined him, and said "Mr. Leonard
l can cure you, but you won't take the medicine.
You are temperance man, aProhbitionist, and
yon won't take my medicine" Brother Leonard
replied. Il will take anything that will cure
me-" DR.. Newton turned around to me and
said, Go to Walkers brewer and get him a
dozen bottles of old stock ale. the Oldest they
have GOT I went to Mr.. Walkers brewery and
told him what l wanted the ale for Mr. Walker
sent of his mel into the cellar to certain
corner and he brought up a dozen bottles of the
finest, oldest and bittere>t ale he had 1t was
five six years old, MIR. Walker said I put
the bottles in a basket and covered them I'D ard
drove home. Dr. Newton told Brother Leonard
that he did not want him to eat a single square
meal at the table, but that he should
have some bread toasted until it was
quite brown. and then soak the toast in say
half tumbler of the ale several times day.
Brother Leonard said: II will do it." The
physician told Brother Leonard if he would fol
low his advice his dyspepsia would be cured.
Shortly after this the Dayton camp meeting
came on. and Brother Leonard came to me and
said What are we going to do}' We had both
made up our minds to 60. replied II will fix
that all right" My wife went to work and
toasted him lot of bread, and ! put three
bottles Of the ale in my erip-sack My wife dd
up the toast, and we started to the Dayton camp
meeting. Brother Leonard ana would get up
very early in the morning, and would take the
grip-sack containing the ale and toast, and we
would go away out in the woods where no one
would see u.s. and would take out the ale and
toast, and Brother Leonard would take about
half tumbler of ale and soak the toast in it, and
would eat the toast and sip the ale. We would
be there for half an hour at a time. This we
would do three times day while we staid there,
which was three or four days, and we did this
believing it was right. and / know it did him
much good. DR.. Leonard has no better friend

A REVIEW of the political situation in Mas
sachusetts leads the Boston Herald (mug-
wump organ) to the conclusion that "while
it is undoubtedly true that the present tend
ency Of the independent voters is toward an
utilization with the Democrats, it is unlikely
that they will be at all prominent in the COM
ing contest" They will, in short, thinks the
Herald, prefer to save their strength for
future struggles, and 'remain very private
citizens through the unimportant campaign
which is pending This Interpretation Of
mugwump inaction at the present time is
one way of wriggling out Of hole, but it
will hardly serve to bring them out on the
"higher plane where they once so proudly
stood. The cold truth is they are in a corner
and do not know how to get out gracefully
and without further furnishing of their once
gaudy p;n-feathers. A politician with any
sort of a case does not withdraw into solitude
and save himself up for possible emergencies
in the indefinite future he keeps in fighting
trim by constant exercise, and does not per-
NIT himself to be forgotten. The mugwumps,
having no case, have no resource but the
retirement of private life. They make viz

THE Ohio Democrats have renominated
"the old ticket" headed by Governor Hoadly,
and have gone to the people upon platform
conspicuous for its full and complete indorse-
ment of all the infamies of the last State
Legislature Like the Indiana General As
sembly of last winter, the one in Ohio sue
ceeded in making itself more odious than any
other similar body in the history of the State.
With singular, but perfectly consistent
faulty, the Democratic party shoulders the
entire burden, capped by Hoadly, whose ad-
ministration of the Office of Governor has
been such as to add anything but' credit to
his reputation. Perhaps the sincere opinion
the Democratic party was best given in the
article we yesterday copied from the Wash
ington Post, the national party organ. Among
other things that paper said:
"Judge Hoadly will go into the campaign
carrying grievous load His denomination
will amount to an announcement by the party
that they have no apologies to offer for their
leSisIdlHo eAploltS uurlnB the past TWO years;
that an enlargement and aggravation of that
nauseous record may be looked for as conse-
quence Of their continuance in power There
can hardly be any mistake as to the relevancy,
and as little doubt as to the effect. of Hoadly's
renomination; but, Notwithstanding these
changes in the conditions underlying the con-
test, it will still remain singular spectacle
singular in this, if nothing else, that it will
illustrate in the action of the Democrats the
length TO which infatuation can carry po
litical party"
Despite all warnings to the contrary, the
Democracy Of Ohio have accepted the whole
burden of the Sixty-sixth General Assembly,
and on that issue have thrown themselves upon
the country. The result ought not to be doubt
full, even with the Prohibition side-show in the
field to aid the whisky Democracy.

shocked at the 'indelicacy and improperly"
of the remarks of out-of town papers and peo-
pie concerning the burial of Grant in New
York, and the deslrability of placing his chief
monument elsewhere. A part of the shock is
perhaps due to the unpleasant discovery of
how very little affection the country at large
has for New York as a city. 1t is useful
place in some respects, sort of necessary
evil; but it is not city calculated to endear

were around town hunting medicine. Well
it may have been medicine. and again it may
have been the mechanical stuff. At any rate
