SIGNS IN OHIO-"SHOW THIS TO NONE
BUT FRIENDS!"
The democracy of Ohio are truly aroused, and
from every quarter we hear of their movements,
organization and activity
letter from Jackson says call is right in that
region. One from Pickaway says: "Ican assure
you that all is well with the democracy in our re-
gion." The Richland Shield and Banner says put
down Old Rlchland at 2OO!-that the stories put
afloat by the coons are merely for effect.
A letter from Butler county, enclosing money
for two subscribers, who, the writer says, were
wings, says:
81, also, voted for Harrison; but Clay is not
Harrison, and do not think shall give Clay my
support, although, being Jerseyman, should
like much to support Frelinghuysen, if consistent
with republican principles. There are others in a
similar situation with myself, who, not liking some
ofhis public acts, cannot conscentiously vote for
him.
"Yours, respectfully"
Thus, in one letter from small post office, we
have the names of three Harrison wings, who will
not vote for Clay, and many others referred to-
We might fill our paper with extracts of letters
from all parts of the country, of the most heart
cheering character They tell the sad tale of
coonery, with all its songs, rowdyism, hard cider,
and debauchery.
But here are more "comes out" from the "foul
coon nest, and they will continue to come out, un-
til the political atmosphere is purified, and the hon.
or and peace of our country isrestored by demo-
cratic measures and federation:
From the Thomas Jefferson

PARTY"
The following remuneration from whggery has
been sent US from Mount Holly, at which place, or
near, the individuallves. Everypa we receive
contains more or less renunciatons from the coons
So we go.
"sTRIKE MY NAME FROM THE NOT
1NGHAM LIST"
.Messs. Editors: Having heretofore acted
with the whig party, under the delusive impression
of "two dollars per day and roast beef" and that
they were the friends of the mechanic, but having
lived to be witness of the fact, that there is no
uutl Ill WHlS pIOinScs, hoW tanc thiS oPPoi tuhi-
ty to renounce all connection with whggery, and
in future shall go with the democratic party; sup

MORE RENUN CATIONS, "PRO OGRESSIVE
DEMOCRACY"
The editor of the Dayton Journal appears deter
mined manfully and courageousIy to resist the be-
lief which is forced upon them that hundreds of
honest men are deserving them every day, and
hence they very foolishly call those who renounce
coonery in the Empire, set of low fellows, and
men who never have been wings. What none
sense, gentlemen. You should not talk SO, for you
will only injure your reputation for truth and be-
raeay We have looked around in order to find
some mark by which we could tell who used to be
wings in 1910, and have concluded that the carry
ing Of "eoon banner" in ls4O would betestimony
"stfong as holy writ, to the Journal men, Of the
genuine whiggery ofany man. Here il is:
