M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1857-08-27
what the Opposition say of our
Ticket.
The Cincinnati Tme8,an opposition
press, speaks thus of our ticket:


press, speaks thus Of our ticket:
"We must regard the Democratic
State ticket as n strong one. With
one or two exceptions, the candidate:
are new men, fresh from the people,
and do rot only possess, to a full de,
gree, the qualities essential to the Of
fees for which they are selected, but
will prove efficient on the stump
The Convention seemed to appreciate
the necessity of bringing out fresh
candidates on this occasion, and thro'
all the struggle Of faction this was ac'
complished.
The Democrats of Ohio are hopeful
ofSuccess in October, and not with
ont cause. The Republican party, in
all the departments Of State has failed
to satisfy the people. The General
Assembly was a one.idea body, that
took far more interest in the political
movements of Kansas than in the gov.
ernment ofOur own Commonwealth
1t did but little good and great deal
of harm, and its sins of omission and
commission are piled up mountain
high; and can be used with great ad-
vantage by their adversaries.
The same may be said Of the Exc
cutive. Gov. Chase, while ready at
moments warning to aid conflict
between the State and federal author.
tiles, has suffered, from sheer neg
linence, the treasury ofthe State to be
plundcred of a large sum of money
Had he exercised the surveillance that
is his duty, the huge leak in the treas
urv would have been stopped long
ago. lie mas to be sure, made sever

es, but that seems to be the only de-
partment in which he has given salts
faction. These facts-the total fail
uro Of the Republican General assem-
bly, as a reform Legislature, the start
ling developments in the treasury de-
partment and the very silly attemptof
the Republican press to shield Gibson
behind Breslin--have had great ten
dency to dispirit the Republican or
ganization, and render them power
less in he approaching canvass"
The Portsmouth Tribune, a paper
that adIeres to the American party in
all its nistortunes, speaks as follows
of Mr. Reinhard, our candidate for
Secretary Of State;
eve are personally acquainted
with Mr.. Roinhard, and have been
for tho last twenty years. We know
him to be a man of undsputed
honesty and ability. He is a German
by birth, and was raised to hard work,
and learned early to rely upon his
own resources. While many Of the
aspiring political demagogues of Ohio
were spending their money freely in
3preeing at college, Mr.. Reinhard
was driving four hcrso team on the
National Road, and hauling gravel
as sub-contractor un'ler more favored
officials. "Many time, and off,"
we've seen Jake mount his saddle
morse and crack his whip at the "of-
wheel leaders," in rain and shine
Mr.. Reinhard. though German, is
1ne OF those who are "thoroughly
Americanized," as we understand the
.erm in the American PLATFORM
And if we were going to vote for a
Democrat, we would do it as cheerful
y for Reinhard as any onein the tick
It. If he had not been possessed Of
industry and talent, he would not be
where he is now."
How few opposition editors there
Ire who will endorse democratic
candidate SO fairy and unreservedly
IS friend Mcfarland. The Cincin-
natl Commercial, having given cur
-ency to the story that Mr.. Reinhard
could not write the English language,
has been compelled to contradict it.
