The HOPE
OF the Democratic Party. as
Usual. Is That
Hard Times Will Garry II Into
Power.

Tom johnson expresses great hope
that the Democratic party will win
this fall. In a speech at Canton
Thursday, he declared that prosperity
was waning and that it can be no
longer preached To be consistent,
Tom should have the rooster dis
placed as the party emblem and the
turkey buzzard substituted, as he ex-
i poets the party 10 fatten on his coun-
|try's misfortunes and on the dead
bodies of hope and prosperity.
But this talk of the Democratic
party being restored to power be-
cause prosperity is on the wane is all
Tommy rot. The business of our
country was never SO large; our ex-
ports never so great; the volume OF
money in circulation was never sc
large; the amount of gold in the
treasury was never nearly so great
the productions of the country were
never SO large; wages were never 81
high measured in gold), and labol
was never so plenty and laborers $,
hard to get.
These are not signs of prosperir,
waning. 1t is the Democratic party
and not prosperity, that is waning
''Mr. Johnsing,r and it is not onl,
waning but wailing.

MISTAKEN KINDNESS
Towards Criminals Is Undp
preCidted. and Increases
Crime. So

Richard A. Butler, ex-Superintend-
ent of the Cleveland Work-house,
gives this testimony about the par
doning of criminals through sympa-
thy and mistaken kindness:
ST don't believe in the wholesale de-
livery of criminals. 1t defeats the
purpose of the law, and instead ofre-
forming man, only makes him worse.
He is not filed with gratitude toward
the man who has liberated him; he
does not resolve to show his thank
fulness by leading better life. In
stead, he only thinks that those who
al owed him his liberty are easy and
he is thereby encouraged to continue
in his career of vice, knowing well
that his offenses will be lightly treat

Hanna can afford to accept the issue.
While Hanna has stood for expan-

and capital, for his country's pros
perity, and for the triumph of the
Republican party and its principles,
and has great influence iu the halls

GREAT RESULTS
From Local Option EleC-
tiOnS in Texas.
$50 Counties Go Dry. Only
IL Went Wet.
Fifty-flve Partly Wet and Partly
Dry.

Special Dispatch to the Cleveland Leader.
Austin, Tex, August 2.-Prohibi-
tion has obtained a most remarkable
grip upon the State of Texas, and
the campaign has been carried on so
quietly that the liquor interests took
no alarm until it was too late.
The Lone Star State offers the Pc
culiar anomaly of prohibition State
that is Democratic at the same time.
Already one hundred and fifty coun-
ties are absolutely dry" fifty where
the sale of liquor is limited to the
cities, and the remainder are threat
ened with capture by the Prohibi'
tionists. A preliminary canvass OF
the vote yesterday in Governor Ian
hams home county shows that it ha.
gone
OVERWHELMINGLY DRY.
There are 243 organized counties il
the State and "a unorganized coun
ties, the latter being attached to or
ganized counties for judicial purposes
only. The counties that are entirely
"wetn number only eleven, and II
these can be added those with som,
"wet" and some 'dry" precincts t.
to the number of ffty-five. Thes'
counties contain all the large cite
of the State, places which Away
vote against prohibition law. Oh
the other side are ranged the re
mainder of the State where Prohibi
tion has full sway and in more thai
$50 counties the saloon is believed t.
be banished for good.
Thus in nutshell is presented ch
j results of untiring work on the par
of the Prohibitionists in Texas, GOV
lering period of five years of activ,
work. They have been unrelenting i
their warfare, and proudly proclaim
that they will not cease their effort
; until the entire State
HAS GONE PROHIBITION. "
1t is not likely, however, that the
will seek to force a general Stat
election to throw the State into tn
!. ranks of Prohibition, as they ar
afraid that they might fail if the
! attempted it.
Some years ago the Prohibitionist
r forced State election, and lost tn
} battle by big majority. This cure

: State one. They rested a few year
and then began the quiet work G
: carrying precinct elections. Thi
