NIsrAKING TIIEIR MEN.

The Democratic speakers arc in the
habit of appealing to the poor man, and
the laboring man, telling them that
they pay all the taxes, and that tho rich
pay no taxes We heard one of these
stump speakers remark that the Democ-
racy depended for success upon these
appeals to the poor laboring man.
Now all laboring men know that it
is not TO their interest to pull down
men of capital How was it in 1853,
and two or three years subsequent to
that time. The Democracy then had
the Government in their hands. Tho
Furnace owners were ruined by Demo
cratic Legislation, and the laboring man
suffered more than the capitalist. La
boring men are now told that they pay
high price for the necessaries of life.
That is true, but it is also fact that
the price ofIabor is higher in proper
tion TO the price Of living, than under
Democratic rule The only true mode
of deciding this matter is to take the
general condition ofthe country. We
appeal to all laboring men, and ask
them ifthey do not have more steady
employment, support their families bet
ter, keep more clear of debt, and find
their condition vastly improved in ev-
cry way, since the Democracy are out
OF power. Compare your condition
since the war closed with your condi-
tion during the last two years OF Buch-
anans administration, and you must
admit that the present party in power
has managed the affairs of the country
for the best interests of the common
people. Never was there so much inn
prOvemcnt going on in the towns and
cities all over the land, as at the pres
ent time. Labor is in demand, aud
wages high.

The Germans of Pike County go
against Jim Emmitt.
PIKE COUNTY, ONO.
,Qsnf ~ 1897

PIKE COUNTY ONO.
Sept 10, 1867.
Editor Jackson Stdndard-SIR: want to in
form the Germans, through your paper that we,
the German Democrats of Pike county, will not
vote for James Emmitt, the nominee on our
ticket for State Senator, l want to give the
Germans of your county q history of Mr.. En-
mitt our nominee for State Senator.
Mr.. Emmitt was Wing until the year 1851
Then he became n knownothng and voted that
ticket. In 1856, he voted for Fillmore, the reg
ular knownothing candidate for President, and
was the leading Fillmore man of Pike county.
In that year he raised two large poles, with
ilmore-knownothing-h flags upon them Now he
goes around and tells the Germans that he never
voted the knownothng ticket but we Germans
know better At least we know better in Pike
ounty He need not deny it. The proof is too
strong. lie lies when he denies 1t. like too
see man honest in politics. James Emmitt is
not honest in politics.
In 1860 Mr.. Emmitt joined the Republican
party, aud defeated our county Democratic tic k
ct, so be could get the Republican Legislature to
grant vote on the removal Of the county seat
to Wayerly. Next year he found that our coun-
" would 90 Democratic again, and so he again
turned back to the Democratic party. Do you
think man who has belonged to all parties will
do to trust to send to the Legislature? We
German Democrats Of Pike county can'tsee it in
that light,
| advise German Democrats. and American
Democrats, to scratch James Emmitt off our
ticket, for we want to send al honest man to
the Legislature.
Emnitt is only looking TO his own selfish in
terest, and opposes Gen jones' the Republican
candidate, because he (Jones) was in favor Of
finishing our railroad through your place. to
Parkersburgh, Va. Mr.. Emmitt opposed this
road because it did not run through Wovcrly,
his town. This shows the true character of the
man. I'll. A. MILLER,
Democrat.

CHEERING PROSPECT.

Those Republicans who vote against
the constitutional amendment will make
the rebels rejoice with exceeding great
joy. One year ago Andy Johnson in
his celebrated swing, said that Congress
was an illegal body, and threatened
revolution. The crushing defeat Of
the rebel party made him act decently
for many months Now the Temporal
ry success of the party in California
has given new courage, and if the De-
mocracy makes gains in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, the peoples representa-
tives will never be permitted to assem-
bic again in Washington City, and an
other war, more terrible than the
recent rebellion will be the consequence
That this is not said to frighten the tim
id, but is based upon the evidence, we
can prove, and will refer to the follow
ing, from the last number of the New
York Day Book, the leading Democrat
ic paper in the United States:
1--WE notice that some editors calling them
selves Democrats, who wish to see the President
officially repudinte Congress, are still under the
impression that his act would be revolutionary.
But that is not So The President has abundant
ly proved that Congress Is not legal body, is not
In fact Congress at all, within the meaning of the
Constitution. Legally 1t is no more than mob.
1t Is body Of men assembled together by force
Of bayOnets, Of riotous and violent spirit and Of
reyo lutionary acts. 1t Is precisely such revoln-
tiOn Ns the President is bound to suppress In sup
port and defence ofthe Constitution. Ifthc Pres
idcnt may legally suppress an unlawful cOmbna-
tlOn for the overthrow Of the laws. an lnsurrec-
tion aiming at the confessed destruction OF the
Constitution, he may legally suppress this rUmp
of Congress. Kick it out! If Congress were II
legal body, the case would be different But II j.
an "lnfurrcctionary" body, IN unlawful cOmbl-
nation" The Presidents oath to support and
preserve the Constitution calls upon him to sup
press It, But he will never do his duty while
Seward rcmnins in hls Cabinet. Let him make n
new Cabinet, ofwise, brave and patriotic men.
and the great mass Of good men In every section
will stand by him in refusing to hold further COM
municatlOn with Congress until 1t Is such Con-
gress as Is called for by the people"
There is the cheering prospect that
you have before you, if you play into
the hands of the rebels, and thus give
Andy Johnson courage to commence
another bloody war. Ifyou want your
Congress kicked out, and the land again
filled with bloodshed, vote just as the
copperheads desire you to vote.

ENRENSHlS.

Those who think that the county
expenses will be less under Democrat
ic officers than under the present ad-
ministration of affairs, have only to re-
for to the past records of the two par
ties. The fact that the Democratic of
fcials loaned themselves the public
money, and never paid it all back,
ought to be sufficient upon this point
But some will say that Mr.. Vinton
Powers is a new man, and is not mixed
up in any of these frauds and pecula-
tons. We arc ready to admit that Mr.
Powers is good clever fellow, aside
from politics. but that he would be no
more economical than Mr. Schellenger
can also be proven from the records.
Some years ago Mr., Schcllengcr was
land appraiser in Franklin township,
and Mr.. Powers held the same position
in Madison township, Mr.. Powers
charges were vastly larger than MIR.
Schellengers, for the same amount of
public service. And so it would no
doubt be ifhe were elected county Com
missioner.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.

The Democratic papers are sporting
old worn out roosters over the victories
achieved by them in the recent cleo
tons. They have gained one member
of Congress in California, on account of
a division in the Union party, but they
have lost member in Nebraska. In
the 39th Congress the Union party had
I45 members, and the Democracy AZ.
In the present Congress the Union
party has l47 members, and the De-
mocracy AS.
The party is growing over victory
in the territory of Montana That
place is filled with refugees from Claib.
Jackson's rebel army, and of course it
is Democratic. 1t gave Democratic
majority last year OF 1000.
The Union party has carried YER
mont by the usual majority, and has
also carried Maine by ten to twelve
thousand, and has a very large majority
in the Legislature. Our vote fell off,
because there was no need of any effort,
our majority being SO very large.
Taken all together, the Democracy
has great impudence to rejoice over
anything in the recent elections.

AN AMUSING EPEsODE.---A
FATHER CONEPEI4S HIS SON
10 stHHHHT OHJT.1

A young man named Martin, who resides in
jackson county came here this week to see his
father who lives back ofSOuth point. They had
not met for some wears, the son having been in
the army Young Martin got off the boat at
South Point, and went back into the country
where his parents reside. lie met them, when
the usual reioicings were gone through with,
and skillets and kettles put on the stove to get
the evening meal. During the preparations for
the supper, the father and son cOnversed on va.
rious subjects, when the old gentleman asked
concerning the political situation in jackson
county. The son replied that everything had
been "knoeked to thunder" by the Constitutional
Amendment, and that most Of the Republicans
were going against 1t, and some were going the
Democratic ticket giving his father TO understand
that he was among the latter. this was too much
for the old gentleman, who arose excitedly
poured forth torrent of Indignation on any
soldier who would pursue such course, and
ended by compelling the young scion to vamose
the rancho" without taste of the feshpots. The
young man took the hint Immediately. lie pass

picture of Gen. Lee, and he has picture of Doug

boys, who murdered their fathor, and now |
would advise him TO get apicture of Davis Mack
ley and hang up beside them He here showed
the whites of his eyes, and turned out his under
lip, and looked cunning. Here j. r. Booth, the
man who loaned his name to his daddy-in-law, to
get the peoples money, began to stamp, and then
all the Democrats in the house stamptcd, clsppcd
their hands, and some few of them whistled.
This was the great argument of the young giant,
which skinned me so badly.
Mayo said that Ben. Wade had said in the Sem
ate that he wanted no union with Shareholders 81
and if he could not have slavery abolished, he was
in favor of dissolution of the Union. l denied
this, and demanded the proof. He could no pro-
duce his proof When he abused Wade, and
praised the rebel Lee, his fellows, headed by
Booth, again cheered.

region of the head of Hale's Creek, are of the
pure grit. They are led by Mr.. Turner, store
keeper at Monroe. When DUNCAN and MAYO ar

hour to commence, but they must have Tnrner.
Some time ago spoke of letter written by Tur-
ncr TO the rebel paper at Gallipolis. Since that
time have received sew eral letters giving his
tory of Turner. do not know anything about
the truth Of these statements. 1t is charged that
during the war, an American flag was raised on
the Academy at Ewington, Gallia county, and
that this flag was torn down by the Democracy,
and that Turner was a leader in tn is outrage, and
in consequence had to leave that place. After
wards, when VallandighaIn was arrested, tried,
convicted and sentenced to Imprisonment, and
his sentence had been commuted to Punishment.
and he was in Canada. waiting and watching for
the success ofthe rebellion this man Turner went
back to Ewington to take up ten cent subscrip-
tions for the martyr, when the loyal people mob
bed Turner, pcIted him with rotten eggs, and ran
him of. He tnen came to Monroe Furnace, and

ments. If true, he is perhaps the man who in

We do not see in the proceedin gs Of
the Commissioners, that Mr. Braley
has paid that money into the treastEy,
that he borrowed in the name of his
son-in-law, Mr.. Booth, When Mr.,
Booth was nominated for Treasurer, on
the Democratic ticket, Mr.. Braley prom
ised the Commissioners to pay the
money, and get Mr.. Booth out of this
Scrape. A day was appointed when
the money was to be paid. The Com
missioners came to town, but Mr.. Bra
ley failed to come. The Commission
ers offered to throw off all the interest,
as they did in the Iron Valley claim if
they could get the principal.
We have no doubt but that Messrs.
Bralcy and Booth are honest men.
They perhaps at one time were not able
to pay this money! but Mr.. DUNCAN,
in his card, written at the request Of
Mr.. BraIey, says:
This balance Of the decree Is now due the coun-
ty from Mr.. Braley, and he is able and willing to
pay it.
Then why in the world does he not
pay it? The decree stands against Mr..
Booth, candidate for Treasurer, whatev-
er may have been the secret arrangement
between himself and his father. in-law.
All we ask is, that the peoples money
be paid back before the election.

Heretofore there has been strong op-

all is changed. It is now we'll settled

EXTENSION on SUFFRAGE.


The same reasoning that would keep
the right of suffrage from the negro,
would keep it from the Dutchman or
Irishman. We have heard the argu-
ment used that this is our Government,
and if others do not like it, let them
stay away, The republican party is in
favor Of extending suffrage, not only to
the negro, but to all other nations
Hence we find that a Republican Con-
gress passed a law to admit any for
eigner to citizenship who had served
ono year in the army, The Democracy
favor the restriction Of suffrage, and We
find the party electing Judge Van
Trump, leader of the old knownoth-
ing party, to Congress, and now the
party is running Mr.. Emmitt for the
