'eThen We did something elsa, Whsa
Governor HoAdly oams In We had the
Scott law, 40 II was called, On the stat.
ute books Of tho State, that gave local
trsAsuriaa two millions OF dollars, The
hrst thing ths Democracy did was 10
tear that statute out OF the atatute book.
The iimt thing we did when we got back
was 70 put II In again Icheersl, and va
want 70 keep II there lrenewed eheeral,
and we have been perfeotlng 10 To-day
every saloon Ia Ohio, under tho Dow
law, tho State geta $50 = year, that
amounta 10 SlbO, 900"
This IL an impudent Forakerism, The
inference from II Ia that Hoadly and his
Democratic Legislature repealed tho
Scott law, and thus lost 10 tho local
treasures two millions per annum, for
no says "the frat thing tho Democracy
did waA 10 tear tho statute out OF the
statute book" Did tho Democracy tear
II out? No. tho Supreme Court held tho
law 10 bo unconstitutional,
The gA5O,OOO per annum derived from
the Dow law should aggregate over a
million which Foraker'a administration
has had for general expense account In
excess OF HoAdly'a,, Who're has this
vast sum gone toY Why has there been
no relief 10 tho tax payera except that
which Ia about 10 result from failure ~
make tho usual levy for the payment OF
tho public deht2 Why have printera
with over duo billa against tho State
boon put of from week toweek and month
tomonth9 Why have asylum boardafailed
TO approve vouchers against the State
which were payable At aight2 Why did
tho finance committees OF the last den-
eral Assembly become paniohy over a
depleted treasury, and falling 10 obtain
practical advice from the Governor APP
peal 10 other men for suggestion, coun-
sol and guidanoo9 Tho truth IL, the
money OF the State has been squapder-
ed-in some degree under Hoadly but
to a still greater extont under Foraker
The cry has boon for more money
things 10 tax-moro ofilooa and higher
salaries, not Tor smaller appropriations
and fewer expenditures,

"You remember OF that election II
was that Governor Hoadly spoke whom,
In his celebrated speech 10 tho Demo
orAoy OF Hamilton County, he said
"Neyor again, never again, fellow-Dem'
O0rAta, compel an honorable man 10 con.
template a. had 10, with shame my
name accredited 10 700 yotoa noyor re-
oolyod In tho Fourth Ward that was too
many you soOl and my friend Judge
Foraker giyon only 10 votoa In Precinct
A Of that Ward, whom he certainly re-
ceiVed nearly 300"
remember II and have boon looking
10 nnd Republican statesmen OF Ohio
independent enough-mAnly enough,
truthful enough and patriotic enough 70
admiAiator tho aAmO Oort OF q robuko 10
tho gangstera Of my own party But !
have not found thom. The CoRea, oa-
pOllora, and Kurtaos pack conventions,
manipulate wards, Townships and eoun'
hes, and through tho caucus control
elections without question and without
restraint. Mon employed and paid by
tho State arc asaignod h party work.
Trinera, idlora and lnoompOtonte arc
carried upon tho State pay roll as ro'
warda for partisan service. Governors
ovon do not hoaitAto 10 wiOld the patron

themselves In power And yot the no-
publican who should dare 10 lift up his
voice In protoat would DO assall0d and
vlllaOd ~ II he woro traitor 10 his
country.
l assume that tho Republican party OF
Ohio Is In tho main composed OF honest,
intelligent mOni that they want whole
truths, not half truths, from those who
presume 10 instruct them from tho
Btumpi that they Aro opposed 10 olsotlng
any man for third t0rni that thoy do
sire practical sonslble man In tho or.
ooutiyo olhoo, and l therefore take II for
granted that Foraker will BE- beaton thla
fall at least $4,000 votOs Thls disingo-
nuouo and trihing XeAiA speech should OF
itself DO enough 10 condemn him.
