The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1864-1911, 1865-10-04
A LAST WORD!

This is the last issue of the Sentinel thai
viii have general circulation before the elec
ton, and we would, as last word, enjoii
every opposer Of Negro Suffrage and ad
yocate of Equal Taxation to work uuceaS
iagIy from now till the polls close on the
evening of the 10th day of October, ant
we will achieve VICTORY that will thrill
with joy and exultation the lovers Of our
country throughout the whole nation
We have no fancy for the arts Of the
demagogue; we have no hard names fol
those who oppose us and our noble party,
and when ''reviled we will rcyile not -
Our party ~ party of principle, and We
wish to speak to our readers the language O.
truth and soberness.
Our opponents are not all of that foolish
kind who rant and rave, and by making &
loud noise suppose people will mistake il
for sense, but some of them may be reach
iby reason.
We would ask our Democratic friends tc
take their Republican friends by the hanG
and talk to them privately about the issues
that now divide the people, They arc
plain and simple and no one need be de-
ceived
lst. The question of Taxation. The wal
debt is enormous and must be paid. The
expenses of the National, State and County
Governments must also be paid. While
all these additional heavy burdens must be
borne, great portion of the wealth of the
country is invested in Bonds which are
not taxcd Shall this wealth be taxed? is
one question to be decided Shallthe mar
of wealth bear his proportion of the public
burden2 The Republicans no-the Dem
ocrats say that all who receive protection
from the government should help support
it. That all property should be taxed alike
That the poor man who by his toll has
embarked in business to obtain u sustenanct
or build himself home shall not pay taxes
fer the wealtlIy-that the taxes the wealthy
should pay shall not be made up on every
thing you eat or use. Equal taxation is our
motto, and all who favor it should vote fol
Gen Morgan and the white man ticket.
ID. Negro Suffrage claims the attention
Of the voter The Republican party favor
it. Not one newspaper or leading man OPP
poses it. Some few lesser lights say they
are not in favor Of it ao1r, but they all say
they favor it at some time. The right way
to DO il to hold their 'skirmishers in cheek
first and then rout the whole body on tht
10th OF October.
Sd. The s. commutation. Some of tho
Republican papers say that their party vii
repeal it. That is but their private opinion
and not entitled to consideration on the eve
OF the election. 1t is not in their platform
and they have no authority to speak. The
Democratic platform il explicit on this sub
ject, and those who wish this law repealed
should vote the Democratic ticket.
These are the local issues. Voters choose
for yourselyesl
The general issue il az it affects the na-
tionwhether President johnson shall be
sustained in his policy Of reconstruction2-
The Republicans are bitter in their opposi,
tion to him--eysn going so far as to propose
that Negroes should take the place of the
men whom the President has appointed ia
assist him in restoring law and order. A
vote for Gen. Morganis a vote to sustain
the President
VI Voter, you cannot dodge these issues =.

other The whole nation & warehins 10
sec the decision of the people Of Ohio
