That gentleman's entire' speech deals with state auestlonsfexcluslve-. ly, and Is to complete a ropiy to every point even attempted to the contrary, *ato refute forever the falsehoods of Johnson and his Imitators, that the SRepnbileaiia ignore state Issues. The Republican record of.results 1 b just cause for pride, and Is In splendid con­ trast with the shameful showing for Democracy, -thrust upon that party by its present chosen chief. Johnson’s- argument is-'wel} shown up by Gov, hhsh in these -words: ■ ■ The Democratic platform avers that “the present laws for assessing the propertyof stoaija railroads * * * ’. ■ - aLquId 1)0 so changed- as to compel , the assessment of these properties at _ aptless that thelf salable value as go­ ing" concerns and prevent -their eva­ sion of just taxation.” The laws-of. Ohio which the Democratic party thus assails., and which provide for the val- -uatlon of steam railroad property for ' tiife purpose of taxation, are, more ^than 40 years',old Under them the .’ county auditors living .in. the counties . through which a railroad runs must 'meet in Gie spring'of each year- and, ’ acting together,-fix the value upon the property' of such line of road for taxa­ tion. It follows 'that we have as many . hoards for the valuation of this Mnd of property as there are railroads in Ohio. The values thus ascertained,by these boards must be returned to the auditor of state and be' by him. sub­ mitted to aij enualization board, which consists of toe state auditor^ toe state treasurer, the atk) hey general (and during too last ten years, the commis­ sioner of railroads - and. telegraphs). r This board is not a board of appraise­ ment, but a board'of equalization. If • " '.It should find that the'property of a railroad has been too highly appraiS- 'ed, it is its duty.to give relief hy re­ ducing such assessment, adding the amount taken off to the' property Of Some other .road -which, in the opin- ■ ion of the hoard, has been inadequate­ ly appraised. It does not have power to materially increase or (diminish the aggregate value returned hy the coun­ ty auditors. ’ ■ This system for assessing toe-prop- . . erty of steam railroads was'not oppos­ ed by the Democratic party when it - was first enacted into law, and is.how -denounced, for the Drat time by thajt party, in toe platform to which I have Just referred, after 40 years of most ^profound, silence. Ih these 40 years wo have had four Democratic; govern­ ors who"served the state of Ohio for v eight years; to wit: Governors lien, --^Bishop, Hoadloy and Campbell. No one of these-governors happened to • , discover, with all their honesty, learn­ ing and wisdom, that this Bystem was fraudulent, and therefore, nd one of them recommended to the general as­ sembly .that a change should ,be made, paring ten years out of 40, Ohio ’• laws havo been made by live general assemblies, each one of which was " . Democratic in both Its branches. These Democratic general assemblies did not know enough to know that the , laws then In existence for assessing the property of steam railroads should bo so changed as to compel tbs assessment of their properties “at not less than tlielr salable value as going concerns and to prevent their evasion of just taxation.” In all these years no Democratic member of a general assembly—either Democratic or Re­ publican—until last winter thought those laws were of such a Character S3 to need amendment, and no Demo­ cratic member until last winter pro­ posed a Jaw suggesting their amend­ ment, ■ The Democratic party through May­ or Tom h.

JEven every- child In this state knows that the4ieafi of the Democratic state ticket .never would have been heard of but for Jphnson, and., represents nothing but Johnson in that place. Johnson dic­ tated that nomination and others and told the members of/the convention what the platform ought to be, order­ ing Its most vital planks according to his own notions entirely. He has been running, the campaign his own way, and has added fads' of his own even to -his-own platform. •The Dem­ ocratic party never got beyond tariff for revenue, at least not for many years, but J'ohnso’u talks about abso­ lute free tradej just as he did nrhenhe bolted his party In congress. He has Ing/ted in the single'land tex andjhas repeatedly proclaimed that it is toe “thing ho really means when he talks about “just taxation."1Thousands and tens ol^ thousands of Ohio Democrats, owning their farms and their home's, have no desire for their confiscation t'O become common property,, accord­ ing tp the Henry George doctrine that all private' ownership of land is rob­ bery and all.land belongs to everybody and none, of It to anybody, Beside this’ “just taxation,"'Johnson parados another pretended principle for campaign purposes, which he calls “home rule.” Ho proves It by his con­ duct. As'mayor of Cleveland, he lets his home city take care of Itself, while ■ he goes through the state like a Streak In his red gasoline wagon, and in ev­ ery ■county dictates to the -Democrats ‘about their own candidates. He tells who they shall support and particular­ ly who they shall boll, and calls the local party nominees ue’foro him, and the officials, and gives them their or­ ders what thoy are to do according to' Johnson. In Wayne county his own authorized account tells o f how he treated the auditor, Capt A. B. Pedk- Inpaugb, although that gentleman and' most excellent officer was even then most desperately 111 with typhoid- fever. A further samplo of his home, rule . was his treatment of Judge CharleB R .; Grant of Akron, two years ago Dom- cratio nominee for judge of the' su­ preme court . He had promised to permit that geritloman to he nom­ inated for circuit Judge, but shoved him aside for a favorite. ‘ In Franklin county, he • Insulted the Democratic campaign'managers by open and're­ peated praise for the Opposing faction in the party. Ini Hamilton county he Insulted their principal party leaderby remarks aimed directly at him In their convention at Cincinnati, On top of all this he characterized John R. Me- , Lean a3 a coward and a robber, not 'caring that more Democrats voted for McLean for governor than toe party ever polled for any other nominee for that position. It is a clear case of ringmaster. He cracks his whip and expects every Ohio Democrat to jump when he gives the order, and just the way that he happens to fancy, Such IS the hosslsm of Tom John- soitt over the Ohio Democracy of to­ day. The worst they ever had before Was a mere shadow' compared to his attempted exercise of authority, and tho worst of It all from a party stand- ; point Is that Democracy Is With him always, secondary to Johnsonism.-He has repeatedly boasted that he is do­ ing-everything to push the single land t ax to the front, and as that is not as yet a Democratic doctrine no Dem­ ocrat is beholden to obey his orders at any time, particularly on electcm dhy, when he will claim for It and himself the credit of every Democratic vote. ■ • ■ McCall’s ‘fficsma allowed” patterns are the best.

In. too Chicago convention of toe National Republican league - United State ,Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana discussed the attitude Of the two parties, toward young men. He said in part:’ “Fear not too greatness of industrial organizations. ' Fear only lest you provo not equal to their magnitude and toe vastness of your own oppor­ tunity. The republic Is great—tha greatest in tho "world. ■ Its resources arc great—toe greatest In the world, its railways ore great Its factories are great, Its organizations of Indus­ try -are gteat—the greatest In too World, And the Republicanparty sOya to the young men of America: “You also must he great men,, broad men—! the greatest and broadest In the world,” Democracy is against greater America; It is little America, It is against great rdllroads; It is for little lines. It is against great organizations of Industry; it IS for their destruction, and return to the little efforts of small concerns. And therefore It is against the greatness and strength and power* In the young men of tho republic. "Heed not the advice of those who tell you that Imperialism will destroy the republic. It Is an impeachment of you, young men of America, and only of you. For howshall the repub­ lic he destroyed except as you destroy It? What armies shall overthrow tho government of the people save as you fill and officer those militant ranks? Butthoonly armies you will equip, too only ships that you will man, will bo toe armed force whose resistless pres­ ence bids other nations heed, the In­ terests and counsels of tho republic. That which top doubter and the fear­ ful call imperialism is only thosurplus energy of American character and In­ stitutions acting along lines which cir­ cumstance develops.
