Capt. John T. Wilson.

Capt. Wilson, our candidate
fer Congress was with us last
week, and spoke at Vinton Fur
mace, Mt. Pleasant, Hope Fur
mace, and Macarthur We had
the pleasure of listening to his
speech in the Court House. 1t
was an honest, fair statement
of the position of the two par
ties, given in plain, business
like manner, without one harsh
word to his opponents. In dis
cussing the political issues he
does not hold back any part,
but tells the whole. We are
glad of this visit, and glad to
learn that he will spend con-
siderable time in our county
during the campaign; for we
want all of our people to see
and converse with him. He is
a gentleman of the old school,
whose every manner and ap-
pearance gives the lie to the
many villainous slanders of his
opponents. No thinking man
can listen to him without draw
ing a comparison between his
manner to his opponents, and
the manner of his opponents
towards him, and we have no
doubt this alone will secure
him the vote of many honest
Democrats. Let the Enquirer,
The West Union Defender, and
other so-called Democratic pa
pers Of this district keep ON in
the false, indecent, slanderous
path they have marked out and
our word for it Capt. Wilson
will be reelected by Q vastly
increased majority.

Monster Demo-
cratic Meet
ings!
Un1nistakable Demon
strations of the Peo-
pie of Vinton
County.

Hon. A. j. Swain and Judge
Craig were duly on hand, at
Hamden, last Friday night as
per announcement and were
gloriously received. The crowd
was estimated at a great many
people, if not more. Unfor-
tunately for the speakers, the
audience was spread over such
a vast amount of territory that
it was impossible for all to
hear, and the orators, not wish
ing to disappoint those who
we're on the outskirts Of the
crowd, concluded not to speak
their pieces. In short, the peo-
pie remained at their homes,
and the orators returned to
theirs in time to see the splen-
did meeting, called to hear
Capt. Wilson, at the Court
House.
Mr.. Swaim's meeting at
Slaughterback's SchoOl-House,
the next day, was nearly as un-
fortunate. The audience con-
sisted of twelve men, three Ia
dies, and two children, and the
Hon. A. j. returned to his home
without telling the calf story,
probably ruminating on the
pledges he made last fall, and
broke last winter. A. j., where
is the retrenchment you were
wont to talk of? Low taxes?
taxed bonds? etcs The people
remember these things, and
don't WANT to hear anything
further from you until you full
fill the pledges on which they
chose you as their Representa-
tive.

Both Tarred by the Same Stick.

Both Tarred by the Same Stick.
The Democratic Enquirer ac-
cuses Con. Gibson of stealing
nearly a million of dollars from
the Ohio State Treasury some
years ago. Mr.. Breslin-the
Democratic State Treasurer
who preceded Gen. Gibson
after he got safe in Canada, &C.
knowledged that he himself
stole the money, and offered to
compromise with the State
Mr.. Gibson did wrong no doubt.
To shield Mr.. Breslin, who was
his brother.in-law, he allowed
him to turn over promises to
pay instead of cash, just as Mr..
Reynolds, candidate for County
Auditor, turned over TO MIR.
Foreman the $4,000 draft in
stead of cash. BY good luck
the Eagle Furnace property
was sold, and Mr.. Reynolds
was enabled to collect the
amount of the draft and pay it
into the Treasury, otherwise he
might have been compelled to
follow Mr.. Breslin to Canada.
Mr.. Breslin and Mr.. Reynolds
are both guilty of the same
trick-using the peoples mon.
ey entrusted to their care, con-
trary TO law, for their own pri-
vate speculation. MIR. Breslin'S
venture was unsuccessful, while
Mr.. Reynolds venture, after
nearing the same fate, was just
barely q success. That is the
only difference. Mr.. Breslin and
Mr.. Reynolds are both tarred
by the same stick. Yet the
Democracy have now nomina-
ted him for a still more impor-
tant office. Do you want to
trust him, voters of Vinton
county?

Sworn Political Organization.

Sworn Political Organization.
The Democratic leaders are
driven to desperation by their
political prospects. They see
no possibility of electing their
candidates with an ordinary
partyorganization, and a form
ing all kinds of political oath
bound, dark lantern associa-
tions. In the South, they are
known as Ku Klux Klans, and
lately a branch of it, similar in
all respects save name, to the
knights of the Golden Circle,
was discovered to exist in Mis-
souri,. We have long known
that a secret organization of
the leaders has existed in this
county, and last week we learn
ed that they are now endeav-
oring to extend it to the peo.
pie. We know but little about
its objects, further than its
members are sworn to vote an
unscratched Democratic tick.

rascality and retired. But our
evidence of its existence does
not rest upon his word alone
We have the same story from

perfectly reliable. We say to
our people to beware of this

war, and they are preparing
for another.

To IriSlnen.

A little incident occurred on
our streets last week that
serves to show the estimate in
which Irishmen are held by
Democratic leaders. & plomi-
nent Democrat was talking
with Republican Irishman
about the political prospects,
and especially about the dis
satisfaction of Irish vOters.-
The Democrat intimated that
they would whip them all in
before election day, when the
Irishman replied that it could
not be done; his countrymen
were getting their eyes opened
to the hypocritical love of the
Democracy, and he intended
to go over the county and see
as many of them as possible,
and talk with them. "Oh, that
qoiU do no good," sail the DEM
ocrat. 81 aoiU go right along
eciM you, take a bottle Of brandy
and bug all Of Mem". About
that time the Democrat got a
taking down, in plain unmis.
taxable Irish.
lrishmen, will you vote with
a party that speaks Of you in
this manner? Can a man who
utters such sentiments have
the assurance to ask Irishmen
to vote for him? He can; he
does; he now asks your suffrage.
Henry Reynolds, Democratic
candidate for County Auditor,
is the Democrat referred to-
Michael Cavanaugh is the Irish
man with whom he was convers-
ing.

"LEr US HAVE PEACE"

A1A Il ~ a - "a u AA<hSAIs
Not a day passes but the tel
egraph brings a fresh batch of
murders and outrages from the
South. There is no safety for
a loyal man in the rebel States.
The country is as nearly as pos
sible in the same condition it
was in 1S59.G0. Blatant rebel
prisoners, with paroles in their
pockets, are organized as mid
night assassins, numbering our
soldiers who settled in the
South. Quiet, peacable, law
abiding citizens are notified by
these cut-throats to leave the
country, and in case they do
not obey, the bullet or knife of
the assassin enforces the order
of the Klan. The laboring man
black or white-who does
not carry in his pocket a pass
port of the Klan is turned out
of his situation with the assu-
rance that he will not be allow
ed to work, even if he finds an
ther. Employers who will not
join this unjust combination
aginst the laboring class are os-
tracised, driven out of the
country with a coat of tar and
feathers, or murdered in cold
blood. Yet this is free Ameri-
ca, the country to which the
laboring class of the world are
fleeing, expecting protection.
We hope and believe the
masses of the Democratic party
do not sympathize with these
tyranical nabobs, but we know
that the Democratic leaders do,
and we have the first Demo-
cratic speaker to heardenounce
these outrages. Do they think
that our laboring men know no.
thing of the state of affairs in
the South? Do they think that
honest Democrats can act with
party whose leaders encour-
age this worse than rebellion ?
Whose very standard bearer
boasts that if elected he will
trample the laws of Congress
in the dust. The country wants
peace, and these laboring men
want protection. Where shall
they apply? To the Belmont
party, both Of whose candidates
are pledged to "trample the
laws in the DUST" or to Grant,
who says, If elected to the Of
flee of President, it will be my
endeavor to administer all the
laws in good faith, with econo-
my, and with the view of Civ.
ing peace, quiet, and protection

POLITICAL CHRONICLES.
DUNCAN AND DU HADwAY.

| TIE ldilu dUOuI hC AllhuI'
And ono of these was named
Levi, and his surname was
DUNCAN, whichi5 the Jacksoni-
an manner of pronouncing
"done gone"
lie received his namo after
this manner:
In the days of the draft, un-
der Abraham, the honest, a
law wass passed commanding
that lots should be drawn to
see who should buckle on the
armor against the hosts of Sc
cession.
Levi felt sore oppressed by
this law, for he believed in
estate rights" and had no SYM
pathy with the Nation.
lie was of those who de-
clared that the law was against
| their constitution, and they
would resist the officers.
Now, when the officers drew
near unto Lewis house, tie
chief knocked at the door ard
inquired of the servant, Where
is thy master, Levi?
And she replied, Levi done
gone.
From that day forth his sur
namo was known to all the
people round about as Dun
g0n.
The surname of the other
was Du Hallway, but where
fore he was so called was never
made known to the people.
Some said, By his name he
is a "carpet bagger," and COM
eth from the land of frog hams;
others, he is from the land be.
yond Mason & Dixon's line,
and bringeth his aristocratic
name among us; others said,
lie can not be an aristocrat, for
he smelleth of cod fish.
Then spake one of tho wise
men, saying, Many aristocratS
smell after that manner.
Thus spako The people, but
no man knew whence he came,
nor wherefore he was called
Du Hallway.
And their coming had been
made known by proclamation
whereon was craven an eagle
and the motto, "Come with US
and we will do thee good"
The people said, this writing
beareth the arms of our coun-
try, and it speaketh to us even
as did the Macedonian oil man.
We will visit these prophets
and see if any good can come
out Of Jackson.
On the evening of tho day
appointed they came unto the
town of Macarthur in a chariot,
drawn by two bay horses, two
abreast.
And when the people saw
them, one who knew them
said,
Behold the elder of the two;
he with the smooth face, even
such as is worn by the hypo-
critics.
Is he not the man who point.
ed out to the legions of Morgan
the houses of those who gave

Another said, lie is the man
who was chosen a law maker,
and wished to make a law that
those who were in the Peniten-
tiary should vote, and those
who were in the Soldiers Home
should not vote.
Another said, he was chosen
OF the people that he might
tax the bonds, and he went and
came many times to the seat
of government, drew bis pay,
but he taxed not the bonds oi
the bondholder.
Then spake one who knew
