Our Democratic friends profess 70 b ~
favor Of enforcing The prohibitory liquor
Law as long . il Is among our statute laws
but would prefer high license. Mr.. Bate
may not have folly coms up 70 Their idsas
on this subject but what can they expect
OF Mr. Hulipgf Il IL not many years
since be vas brought before the county
court 1t this place on bench warrant for
refusing TO obey . subpoena 10 . liquor
prosecution. We believe that Mr.. HuIing
had some excuse but the fact that the
Judge fped him and remarked, nj the time.
that . lawyer ought to know what .
subpoena mesus. would show that the ex.
cuss was frivolous TO say the least.
One OF the articles 10 the Democratic
platform reads ~ follows: I'VE commend
our candidates for assistant judges. I'll
men pledged to economic expenses 10 the
administration Of county affairs, . need
recognized by all voters" This sounds .
little like the Democratic cry in 1884,
"Turn the rsscAls ::out,' but Is consider
ably toned down. They have turned out
. great many Republicans but have not
found any rsscsls. They have 'got look |
al the books" and have fonnd no defalca-
lions. They promised to lessen taxation
and enconom,ze expenditures and have
done neither. snd yet they are on their |
good behavior. What Democrats do when |
they have long lease Of power 10 shown !
by their course 10 New York City. A few
years ago Tweed and his gang sobbled mp |
several millions. and nov new ring hes
cheated the tax payers out Of even more
than Tweed did As TO county matters W
DO not know inst what our Democratic |
Irisnds complain Of, but 70 arr SURE the
voters will be willing to trust matters 10
hands while longer.
