where Tie Difference is,

The Republicans claim TO be Union men, The
Democrats have always claimed, aud do now
claim, to be Union men.
The Republicans claim be in favor of sup
pressing rebellion and executing the laws. The
Democrats are in favor of these.
The Republicans say no CO omse. The
Democrats say no compromise with traitors ; but
with loyal Unionoving men of the South the
Democracy desire compromise so as to build up
a powerful Union party in the South that will help
crush secession now and forever.
The Republicans say let the State and National
Administrations alone denounce none of their
doings, do not question the competency or homes
ty of any Office holder Democrats will sustain
the State and National Administrations in all
Constitutional m ans to suppress rebellion and ex-
ecute the laws, but they have a right to rcprove
corruption, and they believe that all officers are
proper subjects for accountability to those who
gave them power.
Republicans claim nothing should now be said
about high taxes or official stcalings. The Dem
ocrats say that now is the time to put stop to
stealing and corruption. After everything is sto-
len there will be but little use in putting lock on
the door. Now, when vast amounts of money arc
required, when heavy assessments ofaxcs are be-
ing made, with a certainty of still further increase
every department of government should be eco
nomically administered, and every man who i,
guilty Of corruption should be held to II strict ant
immediate accountability.

A Few Plain Facts.

In no State except Ohio has the Republican
party changed its name and gotten upa pretended
new organization. In Pennsylvania, New York,
Maine, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Michigan, as well as in other States, the Repub.
lican party has made its nominations and is going
on as usual under the old name. In every State
except this they Indignantly rcpudatcd everything
like fusion with Democrats, and change of
name. The corruptions of the State administra.
ton of Ohio under the rule of ths Republican
party have been 50 gross and gnring that certain
defeat awaited them in case they did not get up
some scheme to hoodwink the people. The So.
called Union movement in Ohio is nothing more
nor less than trick ofdcsigning Black Republican
leaders to cover up their corruption in the admin
stration Of the State Government. They pretend
to oppose political excitement, yetby falsehood and
misrepresentation they are doing more to promote
strife, aud stir mp party chickering's, than any party
has done for the last eight years. They care little
about the Governor. The Lieutenant Governor
is of far more Importance, because he is President
of the Senate. The Legislature, not the Governor
holds the purse of the State. and that what they
arc after. They are making it point in every
county to secure their favoritc party friends a,
nominees for Senators and Representatives.
Generally in counties like Jefferson, COlumbinna
Harrison, Ashtabula &C., where the Republican:
have undoubtcd mJorities, they treat with con
tempt every proposition for mixed ticket. Ii
counties ike Holmes there are always a few pro
fcssional Office hunters, and who are willing t.
fall in with any humbug tina. comes up for tn
purpose of serving their own selfish ends. Thes
men will gladly embrace the Republican part
under its new name with the fond hope that it wi
confer on them some Office Or position. They ar
brawlcrs. and to hear them talk the unsilspectin
! would suppose all the world was going with then

} might think they held the people of Holm
County BY the nose and were about t
, lead them up to the polls to vote the Re
publican ticket, when the fact is there are not tel
men in Hardy township. nor twenty in IIolme
county, who voted the Democratic ticket last fal
but will support it now; while there are more win
voted the Republican ticket who will mt vote il
again, The people have been deceived enougl
by the humbug Know Nothing party, the People
party, which followed it, and the Republican part,
/, which succeeded them and they will keep OF
, breakers of like character in future.
