"Play Fair"

"Wo learn" (says tho Eagle of
last week) that Mr.. AsnBRooK, the
Radical candidate for State Sena.
tor, is denying TO the anti.negro-
suffrage Republicans that he is in
favor of negro equality If by
"negro equality" is meant negro
suffrage we don't believe the Eagle
has learned any such thing. II it
has, it can perhaps tell ho0 it
learned it, and name ono individ-
ual to whom Mr.. Ashbrook made
such denial as it charges upon
him. Tho Eagle must produce its
authority or stand convicted OF
wilfuIly falsifying the position Of
Mr.. Ashbrook. We know that A..
P. AsnBRooK is not tho man to
skulk tho question, in the presence
Of friend or foe, of endorsing tho
constitutional amendment. OF
course ho is in favor of that amond-
mont, and no man can be a demo.
crat who is not, whatever ho may
call himself.
The Eagle says it kaowS that
Capt. Ashbrook is "in favor of cx-
cmpting tho wealthy bond holder
from taxation. thereby increasing
tho taxes Of tho farmer, mechanic
and laboring man." 1t is wise
Eaglc--but it might invent a more
plausible lio than that Capt. ASH.
BROOK, himself u "larmor and n
laboring man." is in favor of in.
creasing his own taxes, by exempt.
ing the "wcalthy bond.holder.'
Such mendacity is cowardly, Mr.,
Eagle. Play fair.

For What Reason ?

Comprehend papers and stumpers
always state the National debt at
hundreds to thousands of millions
greater thsn it is; their estimates
of it ranging all the way from S3,-
OOO,OOO,OOO toS7, 900, 100000. Why
do they do this2 Because it is
vital principle of the inmost party
creed that the rebel debt is legiti-
mately a part of it, and equally
entitled to payment by the United
States with that incurred to put
down the rebellion. Because il is
the party intention, should they
ever get into power, to place the
two exactly on the same footing,
whether to repudiato or pay. This
lis the handspring of the South.
ern opposition TO reconstruction on
the Union plan. This opposition
comes from the holders of Confed,
crate bonds and claims for dana
ges and losses occasioned by the
Federal armies, which they think
they can enforce against tho Uni
ted States as soon as Copperhcad,
ism gains the ascendancy in the
government. Tho rcbel claim
holders themselves will then be a
part of the government and can
vote their CLAIMS valid with the
help oftho Northern Copperheads
who are now clamoring for their
unconditional restoration TO their
old places. Every 80 called Dem
ocratic vote cast is in effect given
for the doubling or trcbling of the
national debt. Every Union Re-
publican vote given is for the
spccdiest possible reduction Of that
burden, and against an iota Of in
crease. AIlcopperhead clamor and
outcry about tho debt, taxation,
bonds, and greenbacks, are but the
muddling OF the political waters by
Democratic cutie fish to blind
their pursucrs as to their whcrca-
bouts, and 10 escape the harpoon
ready to strike them. The moral
is, vote tho Union Republican
ticket everywhere, at all elections
Vote for AsHBRooK against GOLDEN;
for HuduEs against RUTTER, and
our Legislature will bSkept right
on all questions arising out Of the
war, and the influence Of Ohio will
continue to be of com manding i'm
portance in shaping the just policy
Of tho nation.

"Let it be remembered that
"War Democrats havo neither
control nor influence in the Demo-

that tho Democratic platform was
written and introduced in conven.
ton by 9. i. Vallandigham that
their candidate for Governor is a
copperhead of tho most rampant
and unblushing sort, one who glo-
ries in his record Of shame; that
overy candidate on thoir ticket is
notorious only for opposition to
tho war, abuse Of Union soldiers
and assaults upon tho nations e

DR.. Fulton of Bucyrus, tho cop.
porhead candidate for State Treas.
urer, was tho owner Of tho drug
store in which throo veteran Union
soldiers, at homo on furlough, were
murdered by political frionds Of

The Democratic Party RespOn-
sible for the Recent issue of
Interest Bearing Bonds.


The Democratic Party RespOn-
sible for the Recent issue of
Interest Bearing Bonds.
General Hayes in his speech at
Batavia, showed how the Demo
Gratis are complainingof one of their
own acts, as follows:
Judge Ranney and Judge Jewett
both complain that the johnson
Administration is now engaged in
taking up greenbacks by issuing in
their stead, interest bearing bonds.
I heartily concur with them in op-
posing that policy. AS member
of Congress 1 voted against it a
great many times, in the Thirty
ninth Congress. And regret that
their party friends in that Congress
did not entertain the same opin
ion, and vote as | did. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer, Of recent date,
contained this paragraph:
While the bonded debt has on
ly been diminished q little over
four millions of dollars from the 1st
of June, to the 1st Of August, the
Secretary of the Treasury has re-
duced the circulating medium
twenty millions Of dollars within
that time. Tho aim Of the Secrc-
tary is TO call in the grcenhacks
and every other Government issue
upon which tho people arc not
charged interest, while he allows
all the interest bearing debt to re-
main. 1t would not do. he thinks,
to save the people the immense
sums of money they are now pay
ing as interest upon the debt"
Now, under what law is Secrc.
tary McCulloch doing this? Judge
Jewett and Rannoy talk as fit was
the work Of tho Union party. Not
at all. If those gentlemen bad cx-
amined the proceedings Of Congress
as given in the Congressional Globe,
they would have learned that the
law which authorizes this to be
done, is one Of the pet measures of
the johnson Administration; that
it was voted for by every Demo
cratic member Of Congress in both
Houses, who voted on the question;
that q majority Of the Union men,
bers of the House voted against it,
and that the bill would have failed
if a majority Of the Democratic
members had opposed it. The vo-
tcrs will be found in the proceed.
ings of tho 10th and 23d days OF
March, 1866. Tho Democratic Rep
resentatives from Ohio, Messrs,
Finck and Le Blond, voted for the
bill, and all tho Union members Of
the House from Ohio, oxcept three,
voted against it--Scnators Shcr-
man and Wadc both voted against
it, The President approved the
bill. The policy which these gon-
tlomen condemn is. therefore, pro.
we'd by the record not to be the
policy of tho Union party. lfany
party is responsible for ", as
party measure, it is the Johnson
party to which tho Democracy be-
longcd in 1866.

of the law was this: He issued
