Mr.. Speaker, let US look at their own
statement, after they had deducted every
thing their eEgEing will let them:
Capital paid in. s6,654, ,426 90
Taxes paid on NET profts,6 per cent
for 1913, 40 Tc3 40
This shows their profits to have been
S677 ,889, which is traction more than l0A
per cent, upon tbe capital purporting to be
paid in, and that, too, after deducting all
expenses, bad debts, and every thing else
they think proper to deduct. II the banks
had paid the Sl28,478 SO, which they
would have been compelled to have paid il
they had been taxed upon what they receiv-
ed interest on, they would still have made
clear per cent. Mr.. Speaker, what bust
ness nets as large a profit over and above
all charges and expenses? And ye: those
banks, after this, their own showing pretend
that they cannot afford to be taxed as indi-
viduals are taxed. and the whig members
of this Senate back them up in this false and
unjust pretence."

ASA HOLMES. We have heard it said by
Democrats Of this place, that Mr. Homes is
pleagiRg himself to certain individuals in fa-
vor of the Maine law. If it be true that he
is making private pledges his Objects to de-
ceive, for it has been generally understood
that he did not intend making any pledges
one way Or the other, on that question.
Democrats say that he has been making such
pledges, and we can give their names if cal
led upon. We do not object to Mr.. Holmes
coming out in favor of a prohibitory law, for
we are in favor of the passage of such a law
ourself, but object to his making priOote
pledges in favor of it in one part of the coun-
ty, while his friends in other places declare
that he will make no pledges one way or the
Mr.. Holmes will find that it will not benefit
him. -hepuUican.
EY~Mr Holmes, our excellent nominee
for Representative has no private pledges to
make on the subject of temperance nor on any
other subject His whole life has been that
of a consistent temperance man. Ifhe should
be elected to represent this county in the
next Legislature, (of which we have no
doubt, he will use his best endeavors to
have just such a prohbitory law passed as
the constitution of the State authorizes, and
no other. He is opposed to intemperance
in every shape and form, as his whole life
fully proves. Mr.. Holmes is a man who is
not "mealy-mothed" on any subject. What
ever his opinions are, he is willing to express
them to any person that individually calls
upon him. Mr.. Holmes was interrogated at
public meeting in Georgetown, in relation
to his opinion on the expediency Of a prohi-
bitory law being passed by our next Legis-
lature. He told them that he was in favor
of just as strong and stringent prohibtory
law being passed by the next Legislature as
the constitution Of this State authorizes to
be made. These are his views on that sub
jeet.
Asa Holmes is man that is well known
to nearly every voter in the county. He was
born and raised among them, and they all
know that his whole life has been that of
consistent, temperate, upright, honest Dem
ocrat. There is not man in the county
who has the least particle ofhonor about him
that will say aught against Asa Holmes. He
is respected wherever he is known.
Friend Hatton says in the above article
that he is in favor of prohibitory law, If
he is honest and sincere in Yhathe says and
wishes such alaw passed, he must find some
other man than Reynolds x. Price to vote
for it in the Legislature. Price is opposed
to any suOh law being placed upon our
statute bo,,ks.

Our neighbor has pursued rather decent
kind of course towards us for severalmonths
past, and we had hoped that he was thor
oughly reformed, but it seems we were mis-
taken. We suppose, however, he considers
it necessary to abuse us few weeks before
the election in order to arouse the patriotism
of his Locofoco brethren, and we can very
cheerfully excuse him on that ground. AT
ter the election he will again be fright side
up with care. ."-Repabt can.
Eg~ Our object is always to pursue "a
decent kind of course towards" every per-
son. But when we see person in public
life do that which we consider to be wrong,
we always make business of exposing him,
let the consequences be what they may. This
is our course, and course we expect to
continue TO pursue. Whenever we expose
our neighbcr, he may always rest assured
that he has done wrong, for he is "prone to
err and that continually" A little exposing
of him occasionally makes better man OF
him, and We shall not case to "spale the
rod" for he often needs it.
Our neighbor can always find us "right
side up with care, as well before the cleo
ton as afterit; SO that he need have no fears
on that score. Do right, Richard. and you
will save us great deal of trouble, for we
often have to "chastise" you for your incon-
sistency.

Troubled Conscience.

A certain whig lawyer Of Cadiz, who was
one Of the head movers in getting up tenn
peranee alliance in this place, and who pled-
ged himself BY joining that alliance, that he
would vote fog no man for the Legislature
who was not kneWn to be a strict temperance
man, and one Eho would vote for strong
prohibi:ory law if elected to fill that Office,
comes out in the last Republican. under the
signature of"a friend of Temperance" and
contends that because Reynolds X. Price is
a sort OF u "HIcKoRr QUAKKR," that he must
be good temperance man. So far as our
knowledge of these Hickory Quakers ex-
tends, and that has been considerable, We
have always found them to be very "slip-
perry" set of fellows.
This scribbler in the Republiecp, knew
when he wrote the above article, that Rey-
nolds X. Price isa man who will take dram
of liquor whenever he wants to. No gen.
tleman Of truth or honor, who has been ac-
quainted with Mr.. Price will deny this. As
citizen we respect Mr.. Price; but to plead
up that he is a good temperance man or will
vote for a prohibitory law, is all humbug,
There is no truth in it. We know from our
own personal knowledge, that Reynolds K
Price has always made light of all temper
ance movements that have eyer been started
in Freeport, the town in which he lives. On
several different occasions have temperance
societies been started in Freeport, but Rey.
nolds X, Price always kept alooffrom them,
AMI if he ever did attend one 1t was for the
purpose of making remarks about it at some
whiskey shop in the place.
We pity this ''friend Of Temperance" in
the Republican, for the poor fellow has some
conscience about him, and wishes 10 vote as
he pledged himself odo. According to that
pledge he cannot vote for Mr.. Price. But
he has been told by some OF the whig leaders
of Cadiz that if he does not vote for Price, he
need not never expect any Office from them
He thereupon becames scared, and cries out
very ptifully, "what shall l do to be saved" "
The leaders respond-"vote for Price. "
Hence the communication in the last num-
Der Of the Republican, signel "a Friend Of
Temperance"

Runaway Match.

A betrothed couple from beyond Cadiz,
Ohio, stopped at the Beymer house, yester-
day, and in hot haste sought the Clerks of.
fee and asked for license to celebrate the
desired nuptials. Upon the official ascer-
tanning that the young lady lacked two
months of being of age, he as matter ol
course, refused their request, and in joe
ular manner directed them to fly to the bor-
ders of Pennsylvania where the GorGian
knot wonld be promptly lied and no ques-
tions asked. The groom received the vex-
atious disappointment with a peculiar ex-
preston Of countenance and left the Court
house with the simple dry complaint that lit
was darned hard after riding all night and
nearly killing horse to run up against a
fence in that kind Of s'yle."

Fellow Democrats, the time is short to

Der; Two weeks from yesterday. only two
short weeks, and you will be required
your duty 10 your party and your country
10 exercise the right of sufrage-that ines
timable privilege of freemen. But, there is
more than this to be done, as preparatory
to that important day. There is much work
that ought to be done, or, if left undone, de
feat will be certain.
1T is important to make arrangements for
polling every Democratic vote in the coun-
Ity.
We need not tel you, fellow Democrats,
how this is to be affected. You know as
well as we do what means to employ. Will
you not employ them? VIII you remain
idle? or will you let that old arch enemy.
federal whiggery triumph over you? Be
assured that the enemy are ACTIVE. Their
candidates are busily employed all the time
In every part of the county we hear of their
operations. They work QUIETLY, though
not the less efficiently. They hope to take
you by surprise. Will you let them do it?
We hope not--we believe not.

'rhc wings Of other townships have fears of

are founded upon this fact. In Cadiz TOW n.

members thereof pledge themselves thai
they will vote for no man fol the Legislature
unless he is in favor of a strong prohibitory
law, \ majority Of the members Of this al

know that If they do they cannot vote for

A PRoPoslroN.-Mr. Allen complains
because we did not publish certain commu-
nications from Nathan Wright and Thomas

find fault with him for not publishing Mr.
Weaver's article; and, if be will give publ
city to the certificates of Messrs Weaver
Aud, Hillyer and Hayles, through the

Quinn and Wright. Will those who hold
the reins PERMIT you to do it, Mr.. Allen?-
We shall see.-Repubtcan.

thing which has been handed to US in re
lation to to Deersville controversy, let il
come from either whig, Democrat, or free

so at the time of their appearance in the Re
publican. Messrs. Quinn and Wright in
varibly requested their communications tc
appearin both papers at the same time
We published them but the editor of the
Republican refused to give them publicity
Has the editor of the Republican, then, &C
ted as an honoroble man should have done,
We think not
We will publish these communications
that you refer to above, this week, and should
have published them sooner, had we beer
requested to do so. We are always willing
that both sides of question should have a
hearing in our paper 1t will take more
patching than MesSrs. Weaver, Aud, Hill.
yer and Hayles can do for Reynolds K
Price, to prove that he is temperance mar
or will vote for prohihitory law. 1t is
not supposAble, that a man who is in the
regular habit of drinking liquor would vote
for prohibitory law. Ifthey did, it would
be something miraculous.
The low insinuation that the editor of the
Republican, throws out about other per.
sons having control of this paper is char:
acteristic of the man. "A mean man will
do Or say anything."s There is but one
person that has any control over our pa
