OPENING OF THE CAMPAlGN.--The
State Central Committee have an
nounced a number of meetings in
several counties of the State, which
will be addressed by Hon. G. II.
Pendleton, Col. G. W, McCook, and
others. The people of Athens
county will be addressed at Athens
by Col. McCook and others, on
Friday, August 2sth, and the peo-
pie Of Hooking county, at Logan,
by Col. McCook and others, on Sat
urday, August 29th. The Democ-
racy are alive everywhere. Large
meetings are being held in all the
cities throughout the State. Thou
sands of people attend the meetings,
all anxious to help drive out Of
power the entire horde of vampires
and ghouls that are preying upon
labor and the interest Of labor, and
to see if something cant be done to
restore The farmer, the coal and ore
digger, the laborer, the mechanic,
and all the woi-kmgnien to the
position which he is entitled to
occupy in society. At Columbus
the general headquarters, the Dem
ocracy are working nobly in th'
good cause-being well ORGANIZED
in every ward in the city. Meet
ings are announced for each ware
to be addressed by Judge Chairman
Hon. Jacob Reinhard, Il. B. Eshel
man, Ed. L. DeLany, the Demo
cratic candidate. for Prosecuting
Attorney, and many others. Th,
people Of Ohio begin to see that
the defeat of the RAIDS this fall will
result in fewer taxes and cheape
bread. "Keep the ball rolling!

Ma EDtFoR: fhe experience Of the
past has taught the citizens Of Macarthur.
or, at least portion of them, the neces-
sity Of providing a suitable place Of re-
sort during the long winter evenings,
where the weary hours may be wiled away
more rapidly than in the business houses,
groceries, and billiard saloon, and at the
same time .spent more laud&bly and more
prodtably.
With this end in view there has been
originated a plan, that has been taken
hold of by many Of our fOremos. citizens,
for the purpose of instituting q reading
room, at which will always be found the
latest news, the finest literature, and the
choicest company.
That such an enterprise as this is
praiseWortby, would be made appear so
no more plainly by our saying so, than by
simply mentioning the facts, and that all
our merchants, doctors, Lawyers, mechan
les and in fact all our citizens should aid
in this undertaking is as evident as that
attempts should he made to redress public
and private grievances in our midst that
make their appearance with those Of our
citizens whose tcmperaments demand ac-
tion, and for lack of it physical or mental
in better places resort to places, the repu-
tatiou of which is better unmen toned.
Asking that our citizens think literally
and act literally about this matter we
lay it over for the present. III.

jackson vs., Grant,

We have noticed in several of our
Radical exchanges silly eulogistic
articles comparing Grant to the
Hero Of New Orleaus-the Sage of
the Hermitage. The difference be-
tween the two men is most striking.
Jackson was never led by his own
party; he led it. He did not allow
his most trusted friends to dictate
his policy. 1t was laid down by
himself after the most mature re-
hection, and all the waves of popn-
lar tumuIt beat agginst it in vain.
Jackson was never found trembling,
and halting and waiting for public
opinion. He al,cdys ted public Opin-
ion.
The difference between the men
may be readily inferred from the
following extracts;
81 shall have no policy Of my own to
interfere against the will Of the people.
u. s.. GRANT.
II say again, fellow citizons, remember
the fate Of ancient Rome, and vote for ne
candidate who will not tell you with the
frankness of an independent freeman, the
principles upon which, if elected, he will
administer your government.
"The man deserves to be a slave who
would vote for mum candidate when his
liberties are at stake.
ANDREW JACKSON
You might as well compare the
eagle with the owl, as Jackson with
Grant.

More About the Thousand Dollars.

We have more than once asked
whether or not the National Bank
Eighty thousand Dollar Bondhold-
ing Wilson, the candidate for Con-
gress in this district, had sent a
thousand dollars to certain leaders
of the Bondholding party in Vinton
county to be used in buying votes,
etc, The little Filthy Record, for
the past two weeks, has filled from
five to seven columns with hard
names and bad words ''of every
description" about this paper and
its editor, but don't deny the send
ing of money by Wilson to Vinton
county, Some rattic-headed lover
of the Eighty Thousand Dollar
Bondholding Wilson Or one of the
Radical Central Committee, writes
from this place to the Zaleski paper
us follows about the thousand dol
lars:
"The radicals do not purchase votes
II they did, we think the thousand dollars
would purchase twenty such men as the
editor Of the Democratic Enquirer. MIR.
Bowen, If Wilson sends as any more
money We will be around and have YOU
weighed, and taksJOu at whit you are
WORTH"
"Thc Radicals do not purchase
votes" Let us sec whether they
do or not. last fall they purchased
a number of votes, hired some to
stay away from the polls, and at
tempted to purchase many more
votes.
"a thousand dollars would pur-
chase twenty such men as the editor
of the Democratic Enquirer F'-|
'Twentyp Well, that would be
fifty dollars each. Is that the
amount you aristocratic bondhold
ers paid for votes last fallS You
say "the RAIDS don't purchase votes,
and in the next breath say "a thou
sand dollars will purchase twenty
such men as the editor of the
Democratic Enquirer and then
close by saying IF Wilson sends an |
more money you will be around"
What moro proof do honest men
want than for Rad to publicly |
state, as above, that "a thousand |
dollars will purchase twenty votes |
and that ''if Wilson sends any more |
money ho will be around" It can |
then be taken as true that Wilson
has sent a thousand dollars to Vim
ton county.

The Radical Congress has made its bid
for the Irish Vote, The grand point in
this matter was TO make sure that there

never asserted in manner which might
possibly lead to pdr. Under the new law,
the President is empowered, in case Of an
American citizen being arrested and un-
