worst thing that ever happened to tn,
Democratic party was the great victo
ry Of 1899 when the Republican part,
seemed swept from place and power
for long time to come. A victory
just on the eve of the greatest panic
of modern times WAS infinitely worse
than a defeat. Out of the ashes ot
their own funeral pyre the RepubIi.
can party rose up giant purified by
the fire Of defeat and the Democratic
party in the face of it's wonderful tri.
umph was but a pulling infant in the
hands OF the new born Republican
monster.
30 1t is likely'to be with the Repub-
Gcan party Of to-day in this State
On the eve OF the assembling of the
new Legislature a large element of
the party is prepared to indorse leg-
islation that is certain to DESTROY A 4,
very large part Of the revenue of the
State and add to the burdens of other
industries those which are borne by
others now without any murmuring.
In his report of the finances CT the
State of Ohio, Treasurer Cope shows
a deplorable condition of affairs and
one which should concern every tax
payer and citizen whose welfare is
menaced by a class of people who are
determined that their views shall 90
on the statute books regardless of
the cost to the people of the state.
lt Is a story in history that while
Rome was burning Nero sat in his
palace and fiddled and made merry
at the magnificence ofthe destruction
OF the Eternal City that "sat on her
seven hills and from her throne of
beauty ruled the world" The Dem
ocratic party of Ohio will be more
patriotic than Nero in dealing with
the welfare Of the people.
Well could they dance with the de-
lirium Of joy when a Republican state
official is obliged to say in his report
that the revenues of the state are run
ming behind the receipts more than
100000 every year. For the last
three years the Republican press and
Republican orators have been filled
with ghoulish glee when a Demo
cratic Secretary of the Treasury was
obliged to make monthly confession
that the disbursements of the gov
ernment exceed the revenues. it'll |
ed them with unspeakable Joy to
think that the public credit was
jeopardized and that business men
everywhere were going to the wall
no matter from what causes so long
as the Democratic party was to be 1
held responsible for the conditions
prevailing and so long as the Repub-
lican party was to be a beneficiary of
the national distress. In view of
these facts the Democratic party will
stand in the same relation to the well |
fare of the people of this state as the
