THE LOVING DEMOCRACY

The severe reverses in the late
election. has not only terrified the
Democracy but appears to have had
the effect of setting them bv the
ears" The New York World came
out in an editorial i'm mediately after
the election, counseling the with
drawal of Seymour and Blair, and
the substitution Of Chase aud Han
cock. This brought out rejoinder
from the organs Of Seymour and
Blair, and they are indulging in the
game of crlmination and recrimina-
ton. The latest advices would seem
to indicate that no change will be
made in the ticket, but that Seymour
will hold on for the honor OF being
completely and gloriously vanqulshed
by Gen. Grant.

ONE MORE PULL.

Citizens of Hancock county, on,
more day must be given to your coun
try. While the election of Grant an.
Coifax is conceded, even by our oppo
nents, yet We must not neglect to ren
der assurance doubly sure, by turnin,
out to a man on the third of November
Do not let the anticipation of an easy
victory keep one of us from the polls
but rather let us strive to make that
victory sure and overwhelming. We
can do better than we did at the late
election if we only put forth the effort
Let us endeavor to at least partially
retrieve the dishonor that results from
the Democratic gain in this county
AS Sheridan said at Fishers Hill, 'let
US go back to our camps again" And
as our opponents have made their
greatest gain in Findlay, let us here
put forth every effort to recover our
good old majority. Let us bring out
every voter let US do our whole duty
and all will be well. Every man to
his post. Close up the column, and
let us "move on the enemy's works. ~

ASSASSINATION.

1t has been said that ''those whom
the gods would destroy, they frs
make mad" When Frank p. Blai
wrote his celebrated "Broadhead let
ter" in which he counselled .revolu
ton, the most obtuse could not fail tc
see that he furnished the Republicans
with the best and most efficient cam
paign document they could have wish
ed. His letter of acceptance was
scarcely less damaging in its effects
upon the Democratic party. But his
latest and most stupendous effort in
this direction, was made in a speech
delivered in st. Louis few evenings
since, in which he uses the following
language:
"Alluding to the recent Radical
victories, he regarded them as precur-
sors of the defeat of that party. De
mocracy, he said, would win. They
had everything at stake in this struG.
gle, and if they failed the Republic
would fail with them military dicta
torship would be established. Grant
aooaM never leave the Presidential man.

GROSS NATURALIZATION FRAUDS.

There has been considerable excite
ment, for few days past, over the re-
ported frauds in the Ninth District !;
and rumor had it, that Hon. +. +
Dickinson, Democratic Congressman
elect, from that district, had been ar
rested and taken TO Cleveland for
trial. Dickinson is the Probate Judge
of Sandusky county, and it appears
that fraudulent naturalization papers
have been issued, with his signature
attached, and countersigned by his
clerk, j. G. McArdle. An attempt to
vote on one of these fraudulent papers
resulted in the arrest of J. c. Nc.
ArdIe, Dickinson's clerk Dennis
Haugh, OF Dover township, who voted
on fraudulent papers; Thomas Pol.
lard, who, according TO the evidence,
procured the papers from Fremont, in
large numbers; and Edwin J. Hyde, a
Justice of the Peace, of Dover town
ship. The preliminary examination
before United States Commissioner
White, at Cleveland, reveals one OF
the most barefared frauds we have
ever heard Of McArdle and Pollard
were bound over TO the ensuing term
of the United States Court for trial.
In the sum of $4,000 each, Hyde
81, 500, and Haugh $500.
Republicans of Springfield have
made similar discoveries in Clarke
county, and have demanded of Pro-
bate Judge Pugh. of Columbus, list
of the names of parties naturalized by
him on the four days preceding the
election. They have the names of
scores of men in Springfield, who
votedfon papers signed with Pugh's
name, who were refused naturalization
In Clarke county, because they had
never declared their intention of be
coming citizens of the United States.
and they have been unable TO find the
names of such parti recorded at the
Probare Office in Columbus, as re-
quired by law.
Let the Republicans of this county
be on the alert on The day of the
Presidential election for all such cases.
While we do not for one moment think
that Judge Barnd would be guilty of
euch an act, men may attempt to vote
with such papers procured from other
counties, and the utmost vigilance
should be exercised to detect all such
attempts. Republicans, be on your
guard.

| A PROCLAMATION.
In the year which is now drawing to
its end, the art, the skill and the labor
of the people of the United States
have been employed with greater dill
igence and vigor, and on broader
fields than ever before, and the fruits
of the earth have been gathered into
the granary and the storehouse in mar
velous abundance. Our highways
have been heightened, and new and
prolific regions have been occupied
We are permitted to hope that long
protracted and political and sectional
dissensions are, at no distant day, to
give place to returning harmony and
fraternal affection throughout the Re-
public. Many foreign States have en-
tered into liberal agreements with us,
while nations which are far of, and
which, heretofore, have been unsoclal
and exclusive, have become our friends.
The annual period of rest which we
have reached in health and tranquility,
and which is crowned with so many
blessings, is, by universal consent, a
convenient and suitable one for cult
waiting personal piety and practicing
public devotion. l, therefore, recon-
mend that Thursday, the Goth day OF
November next, be set apart and oh.
served by all the people Of the United
States as day for public praise and
thanksgiving and prayer to the Al,
mighty Creator and Divine Ruler OF
the Universe, by whose ever watchful,
merciful and gracious providence
alone, States and Nations, no less than
families and individual men, do live
and move and have their being.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be Affixed
Done at the City of Washington
this Twelfth day of October, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty eight, and
OF the Independence of the United
States the ninety third.
