Don't Scratch.

Every Democrat should vote THE WHOLE
1IcKEr. Don't craze a name. A Democrat who
would advise You to do so, has some personal
spleen to gratify at Il Q EXPENSE Of the party.
Every nan upon the ticket was fairly nomin.
ated according to the usage Of tho party, and is
entitled 10 their undivided support. You
may have been personally aggrieved by some
candi ate upon the ticket, but this is not the
time to crafty your malice. By defeating the
candidate you mcasurely defeat yourself and the
parry to which you are attached. BY his nom
ination, the candidate becomes the repre- senta-
tive of tho party, an1 you can not bolt one
without boiling the other.
Vote the rhole ticket, and don't erase q
name.

Look Out for Spurious Tickets!

Let all our Democratic friends be
on the lookout for spurious tickets.
A party that will hire men to come
into this county and remain until
after the election, for the purpose
of voting the Radical Abolition
ticket, Gas it has been discovered
that the Radicals of this county are
trying to do So,) is mean enough to
have fraudulent tickets printed and
circulated. Read your ticket care
fully before you vote, and see that
the names of all the Democratic
cadidates are on it. Get to the
polls early, and examine all the
Democratic ticket before voting.

Buying Votes.


Some of the Radical or "Dead
Duck" party leaders are trying to
buy up votes enough to carry this
county at the election next Tues
day. We would just remind all
those, having money to expend in
this way, that those who aid, assist,
or advise men to come into any
county, for the purpose of voting,
when such person is not qualified
to vote in any such county, are
liable to imprisonment in the
Penitentiary, and that the Peniten-
tiary in this State can hold any
"shrewd fellow" even if he has
been in any other Penitentiary.
Let our Democratic friends in the
several townships see that none of
the hired men vote. Preserve the
purity of the elections. Keepyour
eye on the Radicalsl A number
of their leaders in this town ought
to be reconstructed" and then we
think they would cease hiring men,
at twenty-five dollars per month,
to come into Vinton county to get
their washing done.

The people of Yinton county
should not place the least conf
dence in the stories got up by
HomerJ ones, (who expects to be
assistant Auditor if FELTON, is elec-
ted, and published in the two pa
pers in this county, about the
"Court House Clique" "County
Treasury" "Dishonored Drafts"
"Court House Rats" &C., &C., as
there is no truth in such stories.
They are lies manufactured to
order, and are mere electioneering
inventions. Jones and three or
four other half-starved office-seek-
ing followers of Old John Brown,
who are anxious to get their hands
into the public money, delight in
circulating such stories, just before
every election, in order to make the
ard-working men of Vinton coun-
ty think that the Democratic
officers steal every cent of money
that they lay their hands upon, and
that if they (the people) will only
elect q few Abolition Gibsonites to
the county offices then everything
will be right. They want some
thing to howl about just before an
election in this county. No Demo
cratic county officer has ever stolen
one cent of the peoples money
but that makes no diference-they
want to howl about something.
They are not satisfied with plunder-
ing the county for the last five
years; they are determined to raise
the "stop thief" cry. 1t is a great
wonder that Jones & Go. do not
have something to say about
the thieves and treasury seekers in
their own party, and not continue
to make false charges against
Democratic officials a few days
before an election. Jones sent his
lying twaddle, which appeared in
last weeks Record, under the head
ing of "Tax-payers and voters Of
Vinton County," to the Zaleski
Herald last week, and the editor
was manly enough to decline pub
fishing it.
Vote the Democratic Ticket
Jones & Co.'S lies to the contrary,
Notwithstanding.

TO the Soldiers Of VintOm
County and the State Of
Ohio:

It's a fact, and we ask you, fell
low-soldiers, to put it square at the
Radicals, that their Rump Con-
gress passed a law exempting about
one-fourth of the entire wealth of
the country from taxes, and which
makes you poor men, who pelilled
your lives TO protect the rich bond
holders-such men as Mr.. Wilson,
the Radical candidate for Congress,
against the gallant Col. Moore, who
bore the heat of the contest with
you.
Soldiers, put it at them, that a
Democrat introduced a law in Con-
gress to exempt from taxation the
first $4,000 of the property of eve
ry soldier who lost an arm, or a
leg, or was otherwise crippled in
the service. This was voted down
by the soldier-loving RAIDS. of Con.
gress.
Soldiers, put it at them, that a
Democrat moved to exempt $4,000
from taxation of the soldiers prop
erty who died and left a widow; and
a like exemption from taxes for the
deceased soldiers orphan children,
until they were old enough to earn
a living; and that these Radical
bumpers voted all these measure:
down.
Soldiers, what say you-will you
support the men who want to make
the rich bondholders help to sup
port the war-worn veterans anC
cripples, as Col. Moore proposes t.
do; or will you support the Radi
cal, Wilson, who owns $4,000 il
bonds, and who is endorsing thi
Congress and their acts, and whc
is thus making the war-cripples

taxes to support these bondholder
and rich pets of aristocracy.

things-they are true as Holy Writ

Qestion State your opinion as to wheth-

Of the Union, and Union men in the South
