THE town council at Athens, Ohio,
has repealed the prohibition ordinance,
passed some time ago, and in its stead
proposes to pass an ordinance taxing
saloons s400, in addition to the tax lew
led by the State.
This is new departure, and presents
an interesting question. The Constitu-
ton forljids the issuing of licenses, and
leaves the traffic to be regulated by law.
Why can not municipality tax it, as it
would a circus or theater?

AND now ex-Auditor Billy Cofland

AND now ex-Auditor Billy Coffiand
undertakes to pass judgment upon the
Commissioners, with the fact, known TO
all men who know anything of the his
tory of the county. that the very abuses
he complains of were upheld by him
while County Auditor they had
been stamped out before he went into
Office, and could not have been revived
but for the aid afforded by he and 9TH
er Democratic Auditors. Take the
matter of claims of Sheriffs: Did not
Mr. Cofland, after such claims as are
now complained of had been disallowed
by Republican Auditor, allow and pay
them? Sheriff Hays presented a claim
for 75c per day for boarding prisoners
The claim was approved by the COmmis-
sioners, but the Law not allowing more
than soc per day the Auditor refused to
issue warrant for it. He was threat
nened with mandamus, but the man
damus was never applied for. Our in
formation is that the claim was paid
after Mr.. Coffiand went into the Audi
tors office, and from that day forward
75c day was the rule. So with claim
of John II. Heaton, except in the Heaton
case there was no authority of law what
ever for the claim. Yet it was paid by Mr..
Heaton'S Democratic friends after they
got control of the Auditors Office. Now
the virtuous ex-Auditor all at once has
become a great stickler for the law.
Last summer the ablest Democrat in
the county remarked that the COffiand-
Barrett regime had done more to corrupt
and degrade the county and was alto
gether the greatest misfortune that had
ever happened it. And he was right
There is scarcely an abuse existing in
our county government to-day that Mr..
Billy Cofl1and and his Democratic con-
federates are not directly responsible for.

A MASS MEETING TO NOMINATE HEWITT
PROSPECTS OF THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY AND
TAMMANY UNITING on Tile MAYORALTY.


Mayor Hewtt's friends are the move. The
Cleveland and Thurman Club of the With Assembly
District has taken the initiative, and yesterday sent
out circular letter to Il break ground for mass
meeting of citizens of NewYork which shah nominate
Abram s. Hewitt for Mayor. Several pages Of
reasons for the movement given and all who are
favorable TO calling such mass-meeting requested
TO meet on Tuesday evening September %, at 9
p. m. at Harmony Rooms, Nos. 135-145 Esscx-st.
The call Is signed Fred. ". DlchI, chairman.
1t seems 10 be taken for granted by the community
that Mayor Hewitt Will be the nominee of the County
Democracy and that Tammany Hall Will. perforcc
candidate against him. This IS not certain by
any The fact is that the County Democracy
leaders fearful that such surprise a. the
nomination of Mr.. Hewitt two years ago Will again
be sprung them. Nothing positive has yet been
determined by Tanmany Hall The only thing
that be said to BE- certain is that Tammany Will
not agree to support Mayor Hewitt for reelection
Should Tammany run separate ticket, as things
look, 1t would probably be male up neatly
follows: For Mayor, Judge I. Henry Dugro, or
President J. Edward Simmons; for Sheriff. Deputy
County Clerk Thomas +. GTo-, Deputy Sheriff
Bernard L. Martin; for County Clerk James A. Flacl
All the indications point to separate ticket BY
Tammany Hall and the County Democracy. Never
thelesS, the Administration and the friends Of Gov
crnor Hill arc now anxious that there shall b. a
union. They fear the effect OF trading the Ma
tonal and state tickets in separate Democratic
county tickets run, but Tammany will not accede
q union the local ticket unless Il ca.l name
the nominee for Mayor lie need not be j amnany
man. but in will the union candidate be
Mayor Hewitt.
