THE OHIO CAMPAIGN. The Joint Delate in Cin cinnati. Gov. Hoadly arut Jtide TortHter Pro- Bent the Issues of the Contest from Their Respective' Standpoints. Gtkcvxxxtu Oct.

The Beeond and last debate between Got. Hoadly and Judge Foraker, candidates for the Governorship, took place to-night at the Music HalL The arrangements were atmllar to those at Toledo, except that the order of speaking was reversed. Judge Foraker having the opening speech of one hour. Gov. Hoadly following or an hour and a-balf andJudge Foraker closing In thirty minutes.

Hon- J. O'Seil scted as moderator on tehalr of Gov. Hoadly and Judge Alphonee Tart, ex-Minis-ter to Russia, aoted for udge Foraxer. Some 800 ehaira on the stage were occupied ty dlsttngnlahed guests of the two parses. The balconies were reserved' for ladies and their escorts, and the remainder of the great all waa thrown open free to the multitude at 7 o'clock.

la less than half an hour It was filled to the last square foot. Fully 7000 people watted half an hour for the debate to oegln. The Interval was occupied with music and with good humored calls for the favorite candidates. Judge Foraker ap- peered at 7:65 o'clock and received a vocrlfer-ani nvHtinr. Gov.

Hoadlv'a annearanee three minutes later was signalized in a like manner. when the applause which greeted the pre iMtAtjim Af JadaeFaraker had enbslded, he began by saying he would briefly review the Toledo discussion. At that place Judge Hoadly devoted his entire opening speech to the discussion of personal liberty, and argued In favor of license. He led the audlenoe to think that the only question between the parties waa prohibition. In answering him I pointed out that there -was no such Issue, except such as existed In the vivid imagination of one who fired 100 guns lii honor of Cleveland's nomination.

He went on to say that he pointed out that the Issue was wholly different that tne Bepubllcans proposed to do something practical with the whisky question, while the Democratic plan was to do nothing. Further, he pointed out the reasons why the last legislature waa not worthy of Indorsement. When Judge Hoadly rejoined ne manifested displeasure because prohibition was not made an Issue. The party had not put In the platform what he had asked them to do, but he, in speeches, had made the issue. Gov.

Hoadly had ended by an abuse of the Republican party, hence the speaker would now say something about that party. True, It was out of power, but It did not go out as did the Democratis party in i860. Instead of being condemned, the Republican party enjoyed the unqualified approbation of the people. He then reviewed the leading achievements of the Republican party which had been accepted and approved even by tne Democrat lo party. Even Mr.

Hendricks said that there were no Issues, only corruption and fraud, but the books and the money when examined and counted, showed the greatest victory of all. He begged Judge Hoadly, in the presence of this audience, to utter no more slander ap aloft the grand old Republican party." Referring to the charges that memories of the war were being recalled by the Republican partv. he aaia that If that were true. then Ohio was behind Virginia, for there sue AJemocraao parry was carrying on a campaign with only Gen. Lee's memory as an issue.

But what the Republicans in Ohio meant by reviving the Issues of the war was the injustice of one man in Ohio having only one-seventh the political power of a Georgian. But he preferred to talk about Btate politics, and referred again to the charge of cor-vnntion in The Elactlaa Senator Fame. The only answer of Judge Hoadly was Attinal tA rm Aat.lrtn an1 awntrl n. nnl Bald that when the Democrats did wrong there was an outcry, while the Republicans kept still. xrarmg uus point or nis remarks the interruptions were such that he stopped, and Gov.

Hoadly, rising, said: "Any Democrat who Interrupted Judge Foraker Is acting badly." The house then became still, and afterward maintained better order. Judge Foraker then went on to repeat In some degree bts charge made before against said, although It had been guilty of much extravagance he wished It had made one more expenditure tbat of the coat of taking wit. ana nan so aroena me runerai ram lm.n A nw. 1 a The Beaded Debt ef Okie ana to tne refunding contract at 3.65 per w.ti..w rv i jat Gov.

Uradllr KepHed ea ytog that he had two autles to perform one a teareeable and one agreeable. The cispgreaoie one was a mistake of bts own. jie la moea to nave saia that William H. enuy-aiatnat uiioon aiea a Democrat, and relied now on the reporters to make ii apologies to his Toledo audlenoe. ills second duty was to welcome Judge back to hia home; to welcome him, v- fceooaae, though he wasa Republican, he was argue a in ravor oz a license system.

At Toledo Judge Foraker brought in que lions net In this cam paien questions of religion, in which Jndara Tart anil auiw- mrut I leave Judge Foraker to argue them with Judge Tafw As a Judge, hlr. Foraker left the bench too soon to learn that he could not oeeupy a position ox neutrality that he could not be neither for nor against. I ask him to say now whether he is for or agalast prohibition. The Democratic party has never cheated the people on the subject of temperance. Referring to Judge Foraker's statement mat tne Repusuoan party had been proven honest by the examination of the Treasury books, he only said chat it did not take a very sharp man, where he kept both the books and the money, to make them Judge Foraker forgot to say that back of the books were the star rente thieves and the failure of the Freedman's savings Bank.

Jndge Foraker says there Is no difference between the Democratic and Republican parties on the subject of prohibition, and that there was no difference between the Democrats and the Prohibitionists. On this abject I stand for a rational graded Uoense eystem. I stand for the right of self-eontrol. 1 ask your votes because my party has been consistent with such principles, and the Republican party has been false to them. The Legislature elected In 1881 declared for ths principles of the Scott law and it led to revolution in Cincinnati the following year, giving immense majorities for theDemo-tratlo Secretary of State.

Referring to the partisan police power given to the present city authorities by the last Legislature, he asked: "Why was It not right if the Republicans took the same methods when G. W. O. Johnston was the Democratic Mayor of Cincinnati. In 185 the DemooraMo party framed tenv perance legislation which protested minors.

2 re vented the sale of liquors to drunkards and gave protection by allowing civil process in damages against those breaking the law, and this code lasted until the Republicans tried to amend the morals of the people by enacting the Scott law. The last Legislature tried tot declare In favor of license, and every Demo-rat was rresent and voted in favor of It, but Three Heereaax Republicans, who bad before declared in favor of license, backed water, and in obedience to a Republican caucus refused to vote at alL As to Glansdorf, he said the friends of Clansdorf, and they -were numbered by the thousands, would UmifiT reel Judge Foraker for saying tfcat thy were a lawless and troublesome thought Judge Foraker was wsjonsibto for It, as the information was handed to him by 1 Anglatae county with large DemocratiejBia-torSeTandmany saloons, but with no prosecutions for lawlessness. He then asked again: "Judge Foraker, are yon for or Sralnst prohibition I Yon have another half hour to answer in and yon can surely answer the question in that time." A voice What do you think of It I am against! and I am also against the bloody shirt. There have been Tvre Semens en the Meant lately one from Mount MaeGregor, and ane from Mount Gilead; the one full of love and peace, and the other full of hate and war against one-half of the people. The one on Mount MacGretror the other at Mount Gilead.

I am fox Grant and against Sherman. Referring to Lieut. Mullen, he said that what the Republicans wanted waste All the negro barracks and crap houses on the public landing with repeaters from Kentucky. As to State affair, he said that the expenses of the ordinary administration of the State In the last two years were less than Gov. Foster's last two years.

As to legislative fraud in the election of Senator Payne, he said the only testimony of fraud In that election pointed to those who were the friends of other candidates. As to the last Legislature, they gave civil rights to the colored man. The Democrats gave the colored men the right to testify in court; Democrats gave them the repeal of the black laws. I may not get their votes, but I know enough to Da the Colored Kan Jaalice. The last Legislature did away with the scrip business that was 'burdening the miners.

They provided for fire escapes in factories; tbat no children should be employed in factories for seats for women in stores for the settlement of all labor disputes by arbl-bitratlon for more assistant mine inspectors and inspectors of factories. They extended the work of the geological survey and I appointed Judge Taft's brother-in-law, Edward Orton, a good Republican, to take charge of the work- I did this probably because a Republican knows more about burrowing in the ground than Democrats do. Ton never heard of any steal In the last Legislature. It was said that they would steal the canals, but they still are ours. It was said that they would steal the Cincinnati water works, but we still have them.

The refunding scheme was killed by him after the advice was given by the best financiers of Cincinnati to that effect. As to giving positions to soldiers, he said that there were more soldiers holding offloe under this, twice over, than under any Republican Administration. xne state's prison unaer tne uemoeraao management had not made any money, bnt convict contract labor had been abolished. It was impossible to ehange from the eon- tract eystem to tne system or state account and make money during the changes. The Piece Price Plan is better than the emtraot system for two reasons.

It furnishes more accurate information on which to base State aooounts, and. secondly. It elves the State more con trol over the men and better chances for hu mane treatment We have pus Ohio In the front of prison reform States. Now my time is about op, and I only wish to say' one thing more, and that is I want Judge Foraker to tell us whether or not he Is for or against prohibition. Judge Hoadly devoted a good deal of his time to answering questions xrom tne anal ence.

There was no chance given either Gov. Hoadlypr Judge Foraker for continued argument. The confusion and Interruptions oy me auaienoe were connnaea. Tumultuous cheering followed Gov. Hoad lj'a closing and Jadge Farakera Reappearance.

When quiet was restored Judge Foraker saiu: Gov. Hoadly began by admitting that he made a mistake at Toledo by saying that Lincoln Qlea a Democrat. He wlahed to say that it waa lust as much a mistake that Hewara aiea a Democrat. The mistake In tnis regard arose, perhaps, from the same cause, that while Llnooin was killed by a vemoerat eewara was almost saued Dy an other Democrat at the same time. Referring to Auglaize county, te which Gov.

Hoaoiy naa referred to as containing- a model township. Judge Foraker said that he was in Auglaize county two years ago, and had been told of that township; that while It had the saloons and the Democrats of which the Governor sneaks. It also had not a single, solitary sohoolhouse. Cheering and laughter. He read a note sent him by a nan in me a-ocuenoe.

woo uvea in Auglaize county, saying that the township had more arunxenness ana violations ox law than any township In the county. Referring to Gov. Hoadly'a championship of the colorea race, he asked now he could reconcile with that friendship what he had done for this man Mullen who perpetrated an outrage apon the colored people at the last election. How could Gov. Hoadly be siient ii ne was tne mena oi tne colore race, when he knows that the colored men South of the Ohio River are prohibited from voting.

The question was frequently asked by persons in the audience, How about prohlbl-tlsn 1" Judge Hoadly said: I told you at tne outset tna tne xtepuDiioan party is in favor of taxation and regulation and opposed to the nonsense of being In favor of Vkat cannot be accomplished. It Is in favor of the practical. I have not felt called on to reply to the argument Gev. Hoadly has made by appealing to the appetite, and the lowest appetite. Gov.

Hoadly does not understand the men of the German wards If ne hopes to win tneir xavor by catering to an anoetlte or a passion. In conclusion, let me say that 30 years ago I went soldiering with the Germans of these wards, and 1 know they appreciate the ele ments ox -uus country's greatness, xney save iwroea ue aemaguguery ana nypoo-risy of the so-called old sumptuary cry." The meeting closed with mingling cheers for Foraker and Hoadly. TRADE AMD TRAVEL. Tb War af the Telegraph CoaapaaJes. Clxvelaud, Oct.

10. The trouble which has been brewing between the Western Union and the Bankers' and Merchants' Telegraph Companies came to an open rupture last night at the Oonnotton Valley Railway Depot. It is claimed that the Western Union men cut the wires of the Bankers' and Merchants' just below the Oonnotton Valley Depot. J. H.

Simmons, manager of the Bankers' and Merchants', with a fores of men, repaired the Western Union wires. Later this company, it is alleged, again cut the wires, whereupon Mr. Simmons obtained a temporary In) unction in the Common Pleas Court restraining the Western Union from further acts of lawlessness. This morning Simmons was early on the scene, where he found the wires out as before and the Western Union in possession at the time. He at once severed the connections of the Western Union with the Bankers' and Merchants' line and fastened the free ends of the former wires te a dismantled portable engine standing near, while he connected his line as before.

Wabiukgtok, Oct. 10. Special. The papers to-day give Judge Ford's letter, the President's and Mr. Goode's In the matter of the Bell Telephone suit.

It Is apparent to all candid men that there Is not the slightest foundation for the censure of any of those gentlemen. Mr. Garland has aoted in the most honorable manner and stands clean and impregnable. So one except the New York Tribune, which has no character to loose, would assail him. The course taken by Mr.

Goode of dismissing the suit seems to many to be over-scrupulous, but it is thought that after a reference or the subject to the Patent Offloe In the usual course of official routine for their report, there may be a trial at law which wnl open up all the Issues of fact and test, Judicially whether the Bell patent ought to have been issued or not. Mr. Goode's course has been candid and upright acd he enjoys fully the President's confidence. The only effect of these developments will be to strengthen the administration. There la no flavor abont it of post-traderahtp sales or gold speculation, or whisky frauds, or star route frauds, or of being a chattel of the land grant, railroads and foreign land stealing syndicates.

The appointment of Mr. Chas. Parian ge to be United States District Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, which was foreshadowed in the Picayune specials, was made upon an unusual weight of recommendation. Besides having the earnest support of Messrs. Gibson, Gay, Irion, Kiog and lan chard, members of the Lonisiana delegation, Mr.

Parlange was recommended by lour Justuses of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, by the Judges of the Court of Appeals and the District Attorneys in Hew Orleans and many country parishes, by six of the eight Presidential electors and by many members of the State Legislature, by numerous prominent members of the bar and by many gentlemen eonsplcuous in business and the commercial bodies of New Orleans.

C. Moncure and many others. Intense Interest is felt In the Ohio election. The letters from partisans of each side are somewhat hopeful, but the Democrats seem to be most confident. In regard to tbe Btate ticket Hoadly Is stronger than the Democratic party and John Sherman is stronger than the Republicans.

A prominent Democrat says that if Sherman secures a re-election his chance for the ne Republican nomination will be seven out of ten. Tbe result as to the Legislature is really in doubt and no one can predict the isMie. The Republicans are in great fear of John McLean. Apaautmeata, WxeHnrGTOK, Oct 10.

J. Barrett, one of Plneville's leading merchants. There has been a feud between the two parties for some time past, and the deoeased was very much under the Influence ot liquor at the time, aid probably if that had not' been tbe case tbe results might have been different.
