DEMOCRATS BEWARE /!
The Infamous Lies Of the Opposition
Nailed to the Counter!
a v1LLAINoUs FRAUD DETECTED!
READ! READ READ!!!

ty ticket are becoming desperate, and
are circulating all manner of stories to
defeat their Democratic opponents.
We have reliable information that Mr..
GRAIL is busily circulating the story
hat Mr.. JACOBS wants the Office of
Treasurer for his son instead of for him
self, which we pronounce unqualiiedly
false. Mr.. Grail has also stated, to a
citizen of Montgomery Township, in or
der to get his vote, that he intends to
come back to tic Democratic p i2ty and
VOTE FOR BUCHANAN Every
where Mr.. GRAIL is seeking Democrat
ic votes by proclaiming himself as good
a Democrat as ever! Democrats, don't
believe a word of such trash. Mr. Grail
is an out-and-o out Black Republican,
acts with that party-counsels with it
supports their entire tickot-was a del
egate to the Convention that nominated
Fremont and DAYToN-gives all his pat
ronage to the Black Republican press
in this place, at their own prices-in
short, uses all his influence to promote
the success of the opposition party, and
is their regular nominee for Treasurer.
| Democrats should avoid him as they
would an adder.
The most desperate efforts are also
being made to elect their candidate for
Auditor, Mr.. PORTER. Appeals are
made to the sympathies of the people
because he is a cripple. They have also
Matched up and manufactured out of
whole cloth, a ridiculous story against
his Democratic opponent, Mr.. SWINE
FORD. Mr.. S. is charged with having
voted for certain candidates on the Flu
sion ticket last Fall. Again we say to
Democrats, 6crcare! If Mr.. PORTER
wants Democrats to vote for him be-
cause he is a cripple, be should have
identified himself with the Democratic
party instead of the Black Republican
faction: He has no light to ask the
votes of men whose company he is
ashamed to keep. AS to Mr.. SWINE
FORD having voted for Mr.. MUsGRAvE
or any other man on the Fusion ticket,
last Fall, we have already stated that
Mr.. SwINEFoRD unequivocally denies
the charge. Bat, admit the story to be
true, he is infinitely to be preferred by
Democrats to Mr.. PORTER, who has been
a Free Soil Abolitionist for years. Mr..
SwINEFoRD, if elected, will use all his
influence for the success Of the Demo
cratic party. and will give tho patron
age of his Office to the Democratic press
Mr.. PORTER will do just the reverse.
Mr.. SwINEFoRD has been in the Office
three years aud is well qualified to fill
the place Mr.. PORTER, on the contra
ry, knows nothing about the business.
So that in point of political-integrity-
party obligations or personal qualifca-
tions, Mr.. SwINEFoRD is certainly to be
preferred to Mr.. PORTER. VIII Demo
Gratis, who are sincerely devoted to the
interests of the party, ponder these things
But we now come to the most infa-
nous scheme of all. The leaders of the
opposition, assisted By tcw diS9Gccted
Democrats WHOSE NAMES ARE KNOWN To
Us, are e~ndeavoriDg to get out an IN
DEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR
Ovcrtures of this kind
have been made to a Democrat in this
place, which, to his honor be it said, he.
has positively rejected. Instead of Mr.
HooTMAN being an unpopular man, he
turns out to be decidedly the most pop
ular man that could have been nominal
ted, and they have started this scheme
publican candidate for Sheriff, Mr.. Por-
TER, has promised the gentlemen above
referred to a Deputyship, we are not
prepared to say. We hope he has not
been mixed up in this infamous scheme,
for the sake of his moral reputation as
a man and q christian.
And lastly, we have reliable informa-
ton that certain heartless Democrats,
destitute of every principle of honor,
have been BRIBED WITH MONEY
to secretly electioneer for certain can
didates on the Black Republican ticket.
They may rely upon it chat if they per-
sist in their course, their names qciU be
PUBLISHED! We have also good reason
to believe that money has been left in
Townships, to be used as an
c~lectionee7ang Gumd. This money, we
have no doubt, has been principally fur
by the ASHLAND BANK
arouse THERE Is DANGER
If there is a pail viHain
prowling around through your Town
hunt him out and expose him to
the indignant gaze of the public. Sound
your doubtful neighbors, and see if any
of these lies have been whispered in
ears under tile ban Of sccreSy.
Leave no stone unturned-no means un-
tried-to head our desperate opponents
in their villainous schemes. The cause
the united effort of every man.
