The Ohio Democrat. [volume] (Canal Dover, Ohio) 1840-1900, 1842-12-08

A "DEMOCRATIC WIG" IN TRUE COLORS.
The DUzzard editor has been making himself merry
about fellow calling himself Reynolds, who ran away
from here last October; with four FIVE dollars Of dem
ocrats money and afterwards was taken up for h"rse
stealing. Kirk Patrick says he was real Algerian
"a leading Democrat" "greOt ha,er of banks" and
"favorite ofthe Vanocracy'" This be does to dis
grace the Democrats who have supported him, and took
his paper-making hem out horse thieves" and leg
treasurers. Last summer he called them Barn burn
ers and burglars. Just after election he said they
were dishonest and made out that Four ont of every
FIVE democrats wouldn't pay their debts. But now he
classes them with leg treasurers and horse thieves We
want to know ifmany democrats whose taxes go into
Kirk Patrick's pocket-are willing to continue his
slanderous paper, after such abuse!
At the time this Reynolds was taken up, we let it
pass without notice, as we did not wish to hurt tho
feelings of his relatives in neig ghborng county; but
now since the Buzzard eiitor has made handle of it
to disgrace the Democrats, a set ofhose thieves, we
shall come out with the facts and let community judge
of the meann6ss ofthe wretch who would thus throw
disgrace patty from whose taxes he has got rich.
Reynolds true name is HolLdy-he resided number
Of years in Cambridge, Guernsey county-was rip
roaring federal Whig-has relatives there, who are of
the most respectable character, and all ,ohgs Some
years since, he went to Kentucky, committed crime,
and sent to the Penen,iary. After he got out he
came back to Cambridge, and was brawlng bard c-
der whig in the coon campaign Of l64O These facts
we have from an old gentleman Of Guernsey county,
)who knows HoIlay, alias Reynolds, and his reatives
and who will vouch for their correctness.
About nine months ago, this Holly crossed over into
Observation-Disclosures HIS NAME, like other ras-
Gals who have piundered the people-came TO Phadel
pha, proessed TO be Democrat, worked little at pain
ting. and cut round here drunken vagabond, for
or months Before election, the wings got up a silk
flag, out imported silk and paraded it round as an
emblem of domestic industry and home manufacture.
When he saw this, he turned and said he dem-

is now canddae:for the ponientiary again. This is
the history ola hard cider whg which can be proven
at any time. And because he succeeded in gougInga
few dollars out ofhs democrats, and then stole horse
the Buzzard editor argues that he was Democrat g.
that the democrats are all horse thieves. This is his
MOTIVE for, ifhe only anxious to expose leg treas
urera, why did he not tell his readers ofDr Heacock
who lately swartwoued from Tippecanoe, Harrison
county, after cbeating the farmers Of forty thousand
thousand doIarsP Why did he not expose Fish, Sec
re'ary ofthe Tuscarawas Wing Convention, who run
off from Dover with 300 dollars belonging to!a Demo,
crap But no, he keeps Glent, because every body
knew they were Wings. There is one truth to remem
ber. All the leg reasurers that have left this county
were Whigs-.and all the money they got from the
Democrats. This Reynolds is the only one who has
been caught, as yet, but we live in hope; murder will
out, and the day may yet come, when other scoundrss
who like him. have CHANGED THEIR NAMES 10

the penitentiary for crimes revolving to both God and
man. Bewarel justice is slow but sure.
