The Democratic iianagersAin Ohio,
like the Democratic managers in Iowa,
show the desperation of their cause by
their manner of conducting the cam
paign. Two mouths ago, when Hon.
Lawrence J.. Neal was nominated for
Governor, he claimed that 1t was be.
cause he represented the cause of tariff
reform, and he boldly asserted that
Ohio was this year TO be the battle
ground between protection and free
trade.
But Meals associate on the state ticket
has disgraced that ticket by failing to
recognize that the nominee for Lieu
tcuant-Govcruor should he n man with
some consideration FOR tho truth. Nix.

| Ho had no regard whatever for the
truth, and was in the Poulleton- PAYNE
Senatorial contest accused 10y his own
party associates of hciug a blaciimailer

newspaper correspondent he was be-
lievcd by nobody. and the initials Nv.
y. T. signed To & sensational article in
the Cincinnati Enquirer caused the
reader to ask What is Taylor lying
about now -
lie did no harm as a newspaper cor
respondent, because everyone knew his
weakness, bat many people fail to RET
oGnize in tina Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant-Go of Ohio the same
w. A. Taylor they hal known rs the
Mulhatton of Ohio. because they had
too much respect for the party to be
licve that il would nominate such a
man for office.
Mr.. Taylor has not reformed. lie
employs the same methods i'll campaign

he is Just rs ridiculous in his lying

United States Senate that 5000, eco men

Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor of Ohio is going about that
state exposing q great conspiracy he

manufacturers of Ohio 10 close the fac

such n ridiculous assertion called tor
no contradiction from the Republicans,
but Chairman Dick. of the Republican
committee. has branded il as lie. ana
offered TO forfeit $500 If Mr.. Taylor Will
show one scrap Of the evidence he claims
70 have in his possg ssior,
1t is simply another example of the
Democratic party'> starting an issue
and then trying Ia unload when il finds
the people against ii. In Ohio. ms in
Iowa, it is trying TO dodge principles
and bring up scandals and personalities.
II will fail, because the people are dis
cussing tine causes nt the depression
that has touched every mans pocket
book. If the Democrats car convince
the voters of Ohio and Iowa that the
Republican laws are responsible for
this depression they may win. but that
is the issue in this campaign. ana Just
now the indications are that the voters
