H The Republican publishes glow.
ing account of the Breckinridge meeting
at Wooster, in which it states that
guns were fred, that, "a large torch
light procession, headed by bands, para
ded the streets, making night hideous with
their yells."
The Democrat published at Wooster
says the whole story is hoax from be-
ginning to end; that no guns were fired,
and that there was no such meeting there,
either great or small.
The Republican must be hard up for

Ford Charges Extravagance-
His Own Administration

HENRY FORD made speech on Satur-
day evening to the Lincoln club. We did
not hear it, but learn that the principal
portion was devoted to what he consid-
cred the extravaganza and corruption in
our county affairs. D
This question is one that is easily SOL /.
ved We have only to look at the books
of the Auditors Office and learn by the
taxes levied whether there is more money
squandered now than there has been here.
tofOre.
1t was the misfortune of this county at
one time to have FORD as one of its COM
missioners. and the commissioners have
the whole control of the tax levying de-
partment. The other officers cannot
squander the money without the commits.
sioners furnish it for them 1t was FoRD's
boast during the time he served that he
was the county commissioners and that
whatever he said was DONE. Now let us
see how the extravaganza of those six
years compares with the extravaganza Of
the present year, of which he complains.
According to the Auditors books, the
amount levied during Ford's time, and, ac.
cordimg to his boast, by Ford himself ,Oas
on an average for sir years, forty. eighi
cents and Jfue sirths Of cent, on every
hundred dollars Of val1ation. a
The levy at this time, Of which he com
plains, is but, thirty eight cents, on each
hundred dollars of valuation.
|. FORD tried to make his little squad o
listeners believe that the affairs of the
county are in an awful condition. The
truth is that our county is financially bet
ter than she has ever been, and especially
is she better off than during FoRD's term
as commissioner'(s.) Our county tax is
less than it has been for many years.
Would FoRD like to deceive the De.
mocraey into electing him commissioner
again?

Breckenridge party, is wickedly and mali.
The Republican says again:

The Republican, says again:
at will be remembered by those who
listened to the speeches of Messrs Rich
ardson and Morris, from the Court House
steps, on the occasion of the Douglas rat
ifcation meeting, that those gentlemen as
serted that the Squatter Sovereignty pol
icy of Douglas is more effective against
would be-"
A statement more destitute of truth no
man ever made. Neither Morris nor Rich
ardsou said anr thing of the kind, or any
thing which the Editor could have mista-
ken for such language.
Has the Editor of the Republican aban,
doned all pretense of truthfulness? The
above extracts look as if he had.
The object of the above, and also the
innuendo to which Mr.. Richardson re.
plies, is just this: The Republicans are
afraid Morris will get the nomination fol
Congress, and they are endeavoring to
prejudice the Brcckinridge men, especially
those Of Belmont county, against him.
1t was in the hope Of doing little te
prevent his nomination and election, tha
the Editor of the Republican manufac
tured the above, perhaps at the instigatioI
of a certain noisy politician who had i
faint hope Of being nominated by the Re,
publicans.
If the Editor will retract what he IN
truthfully attributes to Mr. Morris, b.
may retain little more respect in thi
vicinity.

Our County Fair.

By the Premium List which we pub
lish this week it will be seen that our
Agricultural Society has been quite lib
e-al. Some of the premiums cannot fail
to arouse active competition.
Last year in the hurry and hustle ol
preparing the grounds many things me-
cessarily received less attention than
they merited. This year no effort will
be spared to have everything in first rate
condition.
Now is the time to go to work to pre-
pare articles for exhibition. Let our far
mers not become so absorbed in politics
as to neglect this, matter of much more
practical Importance.

W The Republicans say that Doug
las is not in Lincoln's way. Then why
do they not let him alone? Why are
they copying articles from the disunion pa
pers denouncing Douglas and applauding
Breckinridge? Would they engage in q
fight with a mouse when lion was in
their path? Douglas is the lion they fear
and, whatever their trembling lips may
say, their actions prove it to be true.

Two Republican Falsehoods

In the last Republican we find the fol-
lowing:
"Mr. James r. Morris, in his speech at
the Douglas ratification meeting. last week,
stated that the Breckenridge party and
the Republicans had one common end
"a dissolution of the Cnion'-'and if the
ID didn't get such men, there was no
use in keeping up d-l.' Mr.. Morris
also characterized the Republicans as Alb
olitionists, which we DO not believe he can
prove at all; but, then, Mr.. Morris is an
honorable mani ~
