WHEN a Democrat talks to
YOU about retrenchment tell
him the expenses Of the Dem.
ocratic Legislature will amount
to more than twice as much as
the Republican Legislature that
preceded it. The only show OF
retrenchment made by the De-
mocracy was in leaving the
deaf, dumb, blind and insane
without sufficient appropria-
tions. That is, they took the
money that belonged to the
charitable institutions, and ap-
propriated it to themselves.

WHEN you hear any one say
it Tthe Democratic Legislature
distranchised students, tell
them it is false.-Dem. Eng.
If the Enquirer will examine
the laws of186S, they will find
on page 1O3, as published by
authority of the Democratic
Legislature, the following:
"Sec. w. Any person who
shall vote in any township, in
corporated village, or ward Of
any city, or village in this state,
in which he has not actually
resided twenty days next pre-.
ceding the election, or into
which he shall have come for
temporary purposes merely, or
for the purpose Of attending
any school, seminary, academy,
college, university or other in
stitution of learning, except as
above provided for, shall, on
conviction thereof, be fined in
any sum not exceeding five
hundred dollars, nor less than
two hundred dollars, and be i'm
prisoned in the Jail Of tho prop
er county not more than six
months, nor less than three
months"
This law was passed April
18th, 1868, and as nearly dis
franchised students as it was
possible to do. Disfranchise-
ment was clearly the intention,
and no thanks to the Democ-
racy that it has been declared
unconstitutional.

The Irish of New York have
formed a Grant Club, and is
sued an address to their coun.
trymen, from which we copy
lie following picture Of the
two parties: .."
We have then on one side
the Republican party, or as its
enemies love to call it, the
Radical party which com
prises in its ranks the great
mass of intellect and vigor of
the land. Young, loyal and
vigorous, its mottois "Onward," :"
and it is to-day the embodi-
ment of whatever of advanced
liberalism there is in the com
try. On the other side there
is the Democratic, or as its fol-
lowers love to style it, the Con-
servatiye party. a heterogene-
Gus collection of the odds and
ends of all parties, from the
open unreconstructed rebel of
the South to the trimmer whose
political convictions consist in
an unswerying belief in the in
fallibility of Andrew Johnson
and an unfailing promptness in
drawing his salary as a Federal
Office holder.

SOMETHING Of the brass OF
the leaders of Democracy may

name Of Henry Reynolds as a

Treasurer of the county.

which he claims were not paid
by Mr.. Hamilton, notwithstaDd.

that Mr.. Hamilton's taxes were

The Peoples MOney-HOw Ii
was used by Democratic Offi-
cials in VintOn County.
We were shown a draft last
week Of which the following IS
an exact copy:
EAGLE FURNACE, March Z, 1865.
SiG00,00 fyAr.
At sight pay to the order of John
Frazee Four thousand Six Hundred
Dollars, value received, and charge to
account of FRAzEE, CUNNING & Co.
To Messrs. Traber Il .Auber, Cincip-
nali Ohio. ID ll.f..I,i'I .s..l
Endorsed by John Frpzee aud lIeA-
ry Reynolds. ,r.- val ....,..
This draft was held in the
Treasury of Ninton County as
II, 600 cash, under the admins.
tration Of Henry Reynolds, and
and was SO counted at the Sep
tember settlement Of 1865, and
the March settlement of 1866,
and turned over, we believe, to
David Foreman as cash, show
i % 20 . ..
ing that Henry Reynolds not
only use;l the public money
for his own private purposes
contrary to law, but that his
Democratic friends, the com.
mittee who made the investi-
cations and the Auditor shield,
ed him in it. ..au..1 D..
The draft was finally paid in
March, 1866, by Melsar Nye,
and the Democracy will there
fore set up in justification Of
the act that The people lost
nothing by it but it was more
by good luck than good man,
agement that the draft was
ever paid. We have good ret
son to believe that Traber &
Aubern no had money belonging
to Frazee, Cunning & Co, and,
therefore, the draft was worth
less, and always would have re-
manned worthless if Mr. Nye
had not agreed to pay it as a
part of his contract in pur-
chasing the Eagle Furnace
property. 1850. ..o.ra
Mr.. Reynolds, we believe, has
never denied this transaction,
and his friends, through Judge
Craig, publicly acknowledged
it. Now, this money was ont
Of the County Treasury on pri-
vate speculation over a year,
and the interest at ten per
cent would be, at least, $3.50.
Will Mr.. Reynolds be SO good
as tG tell us what he did with
the money! II doesn't belong
to him and he should refund it
to the County Treasury. 1t is
no excuse that he didn't get it
himself, for he had the use of
the money at the risk of the
people losing it altogether, and
it was worth ten per cent. TO
them. .f. .Hi "
We want TO ask the peo-
pie of our county if u man who
thus plainly violates the laws
by which he should be gov
erned, and uses public funds in
a manner that is expressly for
hidden by law is a fit person to
trust in so important an office
as Auditor? H..s.

suggestions. The whisky tax

it will be fixed at from forty to
fifty cents; the Committee of
Ways and Means insist upon
so cents. My intention is to
vote for the lowest rate l can
get, down to 25 cents. The

.No Irish Need ADpIy!v

ANO AtfoAA ANSNo h~'RAJs
sWhy the Irish are getting
up a ticket!' was the .sneering
remark of a young Democrat
who expects his father to be
elected on the Democratic tick
ct this Fall. This remark was
caused by the presence Of a
few Irish in the Democratic
County Convention who de-
sired to present the name Of
one of their number as a can
didate for Sheriff-an unusual
occurrence for the Irish to ask
for an Office, We admit, but we
didn't see that it was an occa-
sion for Democrats to sneer at
a class to whom the Democra-
cy of this county owe every
victory they have gained. II
the Irish are unworthy, as they
appear to think, of even a com
plimentary vote in their Con-
ventions, we don't see how they
have the brass to ask them for
their votes at the polls. We
hope this action of the Demo
cratic County Convention will
undeceive some of our Irish
fellow.citizen who have looked
upon the Democracy as the es.
pecial friends of their race
They will get down on their
knees to an Irishman to get his
vote, but they never fail to un-
tremendously kick him out of
their Conventions. A Jackson
County Convention lately serv,
ed an Irishman the same trick.
But that is an every day occur
renee, and the Irish have yet
another chance to test the
truth of this assertion. Let
them present the name of one
of their number to the Con
gressional Convention at Ports
mouth, aud whatever may be
his ability we predict he will
be slaughtered. Ofthe twenty
Democratic Senators in Ohio
elected by Irish votes how
many are Irishmen? OF the
fifty.Gve Democratic Represen-
tatives elected by Irish votes
how many are Irishmen9 OF
the Democratic Representa-
tives in Congress elected by
Irish votes how many are Irish
men. OF the long list of Dem,
ocratic County Officers elected
in this county by Irish votes,
how many were Irishmen9 We
ask the Irishmen of our county
to answer these questions for
themselves and then consider
where the friendship Of the De-
mocracy for them commences,
and where it ends.

in his decisions as Chairman OF

contrary we think he endeav-

give all of the candidates a fair
show. Mr.. Richmond was ruled
out by a vote to reconsider n
