BEAR IN MIND. "A vote
for the so-called Demo
cratic ticket, is a vote to
give all the fruits of our
victory to the Rebels.
A vote to cast dishon-
or on the memory of the
brave soldiers who died
to save the Union.
A vote to make union
soldiers traitors and reb-
el soldiers patriots.
A vote to make Lee
and Johnson generals of
the union army, and to
dishonor & drive Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan
out of that army.
A vote to encourage
the rebels of the South
in their infamous work
of numbering the union
men of the South.
A vote to bring dis
honor, ruin, bloodshed,
anarchy and confusion
upon the country.
Soldiers of Belmont
county, remember these
things and vote the Un-
ion Republican Ticket,
and avoid all these dis
graceful results.

The Door SIN Omen.

Among the latest conversions to the
cause of Grant and Peace, are Hon.
Robert H. Pruyn, of Albany, and who
ran for Lieutenant Governor on the
Democratic ticket, with Hoffman, two
years ago; Colonel Hale Kingsley, who
I'm for County Judge in Albany on the
Democratic ticket; and the gallant Gen.
eral Thomas: Egan, Of Philadelphia,
known as one of President JOhnson's
most intimate friends. Leading Demo-
Gratis in Baltimore, such men us Walters
and Newcomer, the Finance Committee
under Mayor Banks, are now betting
at large odds that Grant will be elected
nor are they likely to vote very often
against their own bets. Keep the doors
wide open, so as to admit the crowd
comfortably! After next week we must
knock ahole in the side of the wigwam
to relieve this pressure.-L Pittsburgh

LOOK OUT FOR FRA UD&.


The last issue of the t-box-stuffer'
organ calls upon the Democrats of Pease
township to look out for frauds This is
theory of the horse-thiefwhe about to be
caught in the act, and is intended to di-
rect attention away from the Democratic
township of Pultney, where every year,
there are more illegal votes polled than
in all the other townships in the county
together.
To the Union men of Pultney, Somer-
set and RichIand townships we say, be
on your guard. Organize committee
of determined men who will feariessly
challenge every illegal or doubtful vote
offered, and if any Illegal votes are taken
prosecute every illegal voter, and enter
suit against the trustees who presist in
taking them. A few lessons, such as the
hallot-box suffers of Wheeling township
have been taught, will breakup this in
famous practice in Democratic townships
and give the Republicans of the county
. fair chance at the elections. Watch
tber, and don't leave them remove the
hallot-box out of your sight, either al
noon or after the close of the polls in the
evening. Your only safety is in close
watching.

REHEHRER

That Wade Hampton, Lee, Vailandig-
ham, Beauregard, Seymour, Forrest,
Milligan and Preston are the leaders OF
the Democratic party And, through
the election of the Democratic ticket
they expect toregain their Lost Cause. F"
That there is not single speaker in
the Democratic party in Belmont County
who, during the war, encouraging enlist
ments in the army.
! That the leaders of the Democratic
party denounced the war as infamous.
and called the Union soldiers "Lincoln
Hireiings."
That the delegation from Belmont
County to the rebei-Democratic meeting
on Wheeling Island, was marshaled by
rebel soldier, and had a banner carried
on which was inscribed Grant the
Butcher"
That every unconverted, unrepentaDt
rebel and rebel sympathizer is going to
vote the Democratic ticket.
That the success of that ticket will give
joy to the men who fought four years for
the overthrow of the Union.
That it will be construed to mean that
the war for the overthrow ofthe rebellion
was wrong, and that your fathers and
brothers who perished in that war, died
in an " unholy war, and that they sleep
in dishonored graves.
That it will be held to be decision
that the work of reconstruction and the
laws by which slavery and secession
were destroyed are all unconstitutional
and void, and that everything done since
the Democratic party went out of power
shall be set aside.
That the rebels shall be considered pa
triots and the loyal men rebels.
That the men who sustained the flag
the old f1ag-during the war, shall be
tried for treason, and the men who
fought against the flag shall be their
judges and executioners.
The success of that ticket will result
in the reputation of the debt; food the
country with an irredeemable paper cur
rency; destroy all values, and beggar
every manufacturer, merchant, farmer,
Iaboring man, and mechanic in the
country.
Soldiers, working men of Belmont
County, ponder well these things before
you determine to cast your vote for this
so-called Democratic party. Its success
would prove the ruin of the country.

E.yT7EP AS A ENA NCIER.

The sophmore politician set up by the
Democratic party in this District to be
badly beaten by Hon. John A. Bingham,
has a theory of finance which ought to
bepatent-righted as the most irredeema-
bly, stupid thing ever discovered. He pro-
poses to relieve the people of taxation by
paying the bonds off in greenbaeks, and
then collecting the greenbacks in by
taxing the people each year SO high that
enough money will be raised to pay the
expenses of the government and leave a
large surplus to be destroyed. Now
enough is collected to pay the expense OF
the government and he complains of
"high taxes. "but he proposed to Tighten
the taxes" by collecting enough by way
of taxes TO burn-up the entire debt in
few years. Wise Josiah! Hadn't you
better write book on political economy

Union County Ticket.
sE Union Men of Bel
mont county, a glorious
victory is within your
reach! Go to work in
earnest and YOU WILL Sc
CURE IT.

ONCE MORE TO THE BREACH
Freemen of Belmont County, We
come to you this week with the cheering
word that Victory is clearly within your
reach. The tide was against us last year,
it is in our favor this year, and all We
need TO secure success is to use the means
within our reach. The poll of the county,
which we have about completed, shows
a majority in our favor if our entire vote
is got out. viii you permit Wade
Hampton. yailandigham. Forrest and
the men Of like principles vLo are to-
day controlling the so-called Democratic
party to win a victory through your
appathy or indifference? Remember
what it has cost to prevent these same
men from destroying your government,
and then ask yourselves whether it
would be either wise or prudent to allow
them to triumph now, and at the ballot
box secure that which you would not
Iet;them to secure by armed rebellion.
Give few days no,o to secure the tri-
unph of law and the defeat of the enc
mics Of your country-the jacobin lead
ers of the rebellion-and yon may save
months or, perhaps, years of useless toll
and strife to secure return of peace after
their triumph, through your negligence,
has destroyed it. Do not be deceived!
The parties are the same; the leaders
are the same; the issues are the same
The Republican party under the leaders
who sustained the country; the Demo-
cratic party under the leaders who up
held the rebellion, are fighting with the
ballot the same issue that upon the field
of battle during the war they fought with
the bullet. IL is simply, Shall Vailandig-
ham and Wade Hampton with their Sc
cession, State Rights doctrine prevail
and the triumph of the Union cause be
abandoned, or shall Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan and the doctrine of an indivisi-
BILE, Free Republican Government tri-
umph? Shall we have Republic of law
and constitutional liberty, or shall we
have weak Imbecile government in
which anarchy and revolution snail
abound. and in which the life of the citi-
zens shall be at the mercy fthe Ku klux
as it is to-day in the States of the South?
Ifyou want peace. Ifyou wantliberty.
If you want a government that can, pro-
teet you in the enjoyment of your rights
ascitizens, you must prevent the triumph
of Modern Democracy. tiet every voter
to the polls. Let the committee in EACH
school district see that every Union voter
in the district is out. Haul the old and
infirm and such as have no conveyance
of their own, and if you get out the full
vote you will win glorious victory that
viii make glad the hearts of the loyal
millions of every State of the Uuion.-
Once more to the Breach then-yet once
more; and when the clouds shall have
cleared away from the flaming field, cur
fiag-the grand old Union fag-will be
seen in all its glory, streaming like the
thunder cloud against the wind.

THE last Gazette, in a column article
comes to the defense of the Wheeling
township ballot-box-stuffers. IF the
editor had half the honesty that the
Wickedest man in New York" has, he
would at least kept his mouth shut. In
order to screen the guilty, however, he
resorts to the contemplate trick of ch..rg-
ing wholesale perjury on the one hundred
and eleven witnesses, on whose testimo-
ny the "stuffers were ousted. The
Democratic Judge said distinctly that
the "Court were unanimously of the
opinion that the ballot-box had been
tampered with, ~ and yet this beautiful,
high-toned, moral Democratic organ
persists in asserting that no crime has
been committed, and advises the clerk
ofthe township, who knows, just as every
body else does, that he was not legally
elected, to hold OH to his office. Such is
modern Democracy. Such is Democratic
honesty.
