The COrruptlOn of shc DemOeras-
ic Party i'm FrnnIxlin County'


fort to show that all the members OF the
Democratic partyin FRANKLIN county are
dishonest gave to the public through the
columns of the Journal another brilliant
efiusion on the morning of the 10th. In
one sentence he says che will let others I
Judge Of that matter" whether the sixty
four hundred and ninety" who voted the
Democratic ticket In Franklin county at
the recent election are "villains" or not,
and in the next sentence he declares that he
'edid not say that the 'sixty-four hundred
and ninety were dishonest men;" bw ne
does SAY now they are dishonest men II they
persist in following their leaders, after
knowing how corrupt they are" II his
signature di not proclaim, him NOODLE"
5 these sentences, which have. their place in
9 the same paragraph, would do SO unmis-
takabiy. n'"'' Hae"A 3'sf- p" '--'''''' .
u In his first article on the Democracy OF
franklin county" he did say, in language
as direct as he could frame 1t, that the
Democratic party deserted its country and
its principles y and, as consequence OF
their desertion, he claims that ''it
is, in It's turn, deserted By aH hon
est men," If it were true that the
Democratic party is deserted by
all honest men" how isitpossible that there
should remain in the party honest men who
will degenerate into dishonest ones, ''if
they presist in following their leaders, after
knowing how corrupt they are" "NooDLE"
was not content, I'M his tirst article, with
the declarations that the Democratic party
had deserted ''its country and Its princi-
ples," and that in consequence thereof had
been ''deserted by all honest men," but he
appeared to think it incumbent upon him
to declare in this connection, thai inasmuch
''as good men long since refused to array
themselves against progress and civiliza-
ltion Negro Equality and Negro Suffrage).
this party Is led, FROM NECESSITY, BY bad
men"-from necessity growing out Of the
circumstance that the Democratic party
had been ''deserted by all honest men," 'h'
The man who has no hesitation in per-
petrating this outrageous lie against the
"sixty-four hundred and ninety voters"
who voted the Democratic ticket in Frank
lin county at the recent election, Is of course
sc"undrel enough to utter such minor lies
as that "our citizens were threatened BY
p rsonal injury If they dared tn vote as
; their consciences dictated;" that "a Dem
Ocrat can vote five tiules at one election ia
~ ,f "A, ,h,,, ,,,tf fai e
ishment;" that "hUrse thieves in Franklin
. county are in no danger of seeing The inside
walls of the o. P.;" that "crippled SOL
diers' who are entitled To vote, "are not
allowed to vote BY Democratic Judges"
that an insane Auditor has swindled
the county, aud has his crimes Gov re ups;
thatther are we'll founded 'rumors SON =
thing wrong in the Sheriff S office;" that "a
Democratic city official has presided with
more dignity at banquet at some brothel
than In his official positiOn;' that the De-
mocracy have been deceiving our foreign
population by professions Of friendship
while placing Know Nothings in Office, aud
refusing 70 give a crumb to one of their own
number" ..a ....
+ "NooDLE's" assertion, that when Presi-
dent JOHNSON "went over to the Democra-
cy, he fortunately carried all their (the Re-
publican) ''rascals with. him." is another OF
his lies. Neither of the former proprie-
tors who, through contracts and the appro-
priation of funds to his own use, defrauded
the Federal Government out Of large sums,
has identified himself with the Democratic
party or with the JOHNSON party. In the
Republican party now, as in times past,
they find congeniality, and profit in labor
ing. h ar a g.
On the Supreme Bench Of the State Of
Ohio sits JACOB BRINKERHoFF, as one of
the Judges thereof, by reason OF Republi-
can votes. This man was denounced as un.
fit for the position by Hon. JOSHUA r.
GIDDiSGs, when he was first proposed for
nomination thereto, because he was third
degree Known othing. The objection was
not bottomed on the ground that he was
unfriendly to men Of foreign birth. 1t was
bottomed on the ground that that degrees
made his obligations to the Union para
mount to all other obligation. This OBJ
lection TO Mr.. B. was waived when GER
tain Kuow-Nothing leaders and Aboli-
tion leaders united in common cause
against the Democratic party; and
CHASE was made Governor and BRINKER-
HoFF Supreme Judge-a combination that
looks to the enfranchisement Of the Negro
and the disfranchisement of the Foreign
born White man. Oh, a very charming
party, that. to be sure. l.as-
InteGrity.
