- During the many years of
Democratic supremacy there was
no vast National debt to eat up the
substance Of the people, Register,
The statement is incorrect If
the editor will examine the new
American Cyclopedia, Volume Ia,
(good authority he will find that
when the administration Of tile
government passed from the Demo
cratic hands of James Buchanan,
and Mr. Lincoln came into power,
he found the government in debt
in the sum Of $SS, 800, $40, and in a
state of rebellion, and without cred
it.
Again, this same kno,Oiag editor
says
"When the Democratic party was
in power, Government vessels were
then used for legitimate purposes,
and not to carry the President and
his friends to watering places at the
cost of the tax payers
This statement is as innocent of
the truth as the other. For it is
well known to any well-informed
person, that in order to give the
rebels an advantage over the true
supporters Of the Union, under the
administration Of James Buchanan,
nearly all the Government vessels
were permitted to be stolen and run
off to Southern ports for the pur-
pose Of doing service for the rebels
in destroying the Government
Every vessel, and all the arms and
munitions of war belonging 10 the
Government were stolen by Demo-
cratic officials, snd appropriated to
the use of tho rebels; and no effort
was made by the Democratic Off
cials ut Washington to prevent it.
That is the fact.

- The editor Of the Register has
the impudence to try to get Colonel
Kerr and Col. Yeoman to testify to
the good behavior and economical
legislation Of the last three sessions
of the Democratic legislature
These gentlemen we're in the minor
ity IN the last Legislature, and mi.
norities are not responsible nor
censurable for the mean acts of
reckless, dishonest majorities and
Gould's attempt to associate these
gentlemen with, and make them
equally responsible for the great
amount Of useless legislation, long
sessions and yillainous appropria-
tions for partisan purposes to par.
tisan tools, is simply ridiculous,
and in point Of impudence has but
a single parallel on record, and that
occurred a great many years ago
on a mountain, when much land
was offered by a poor deUa who
did not own ground enough to set
his cloyen foot upon.

joyment of the most perfect freedom, and
is engaged In meeting hosts of friends in
all parts Of the county and if Mr. Gould
is as he proiesocs to be, in search Of light
and knowledge as to Mr., Williams views
on the issues of tho present political cam.
pNign, he can be enlightened by going

- It appears that in the number
of the Cincinnati Commercial from
which Mr.. Pendleton quotes to
show that men are out Of employ
ment, advertisements are found
from which it appears that while
some forty men are seeking en-
ployment more than eight hundred
men are sought for by employers
who are desirous Of giving imme-
diate employment to as many la
borers as they can obtain. The
Hon. George is evidently working
the wrong mine TO obtain the ore
to suit his purpose. A man who
never did a days work in his life
had better let statistics about la.
Dor and laboring men alone. He
gets things mixed up.--Co Columbus

FACTS For TAXPAYERS We call

in the House, for three sessions in
two years, our neighbor Gould, OF
the Register, for his valiant servi-
ces, and yituperations Of his politi-
cal opponents, received $500,
which his conscience, notwithstand-
ing his pretensions (hypoc,9ticaI)
of sympathy for the poor oppressed
tax payers, allowed Gould very
quietly to place in his pocket, with
q deep sigh for the terrible oppres.

THE RFa1sTER sKU1KINa.

We told the Register two weeks
ago that Mr.. Williams, the Repub.
llcan candidate for Representative,
would discuss the political issues
in various parts Of this county, and
gave through our columns a list OF
his meetings, and advised Could
the editor of the RegiSter, by all
means to 60 and hear and be en-
lightened. But it seems flom the
last issue of that paper that Gould
has Skulhed-for instead of going
to hear for himself what Mr.. Will
liams has to say, he like Vallan-
digham, hangs over the border to
catch loose reports and rumors of
what Mr. Williams says in his
speeches and from these rumors
he undertakes to toll his readers
that Mr. Williams does not discuss
any question, except to "talk long
and loudly about the extravaganza
of the last Legislature Well, we
know that is a fruitful theme, and
Mr.. Williams does expose the prof.
legacy and dishonesty Of tie Dem
ocratic legislature in such a plain
and truthful manner, that tells upon
the people, both Republican and
Democrats.
We know it is a tender spot, and
under the probings poor Gould
writhes like a tortured snake, and
whines like whipped spaniel
And in his extremity he calls on
Col. Yeoman and Col. Kerr to give
him one word of comfort. Butno,
not one. You can't play
that game. You can't saddle your
own and your party's iniquities on
the Republican members. They
resisted and protested against your
extraVagance; butyou had the ma
jority, and would not hear them
You can't make the Republican
members par rticeps crin'intS. You
Democrats got the pay, spent the
money, drained the treasury, and
now you want to shrink from the
responsibility. just like you, but
it won't do, Thepeoplc don't want
another such Legislature; that's
settled
Now, Gould, we advise you again
go and hear Mr.. Williams, and
you will hear him not only riddle
your ungodly Legislature, but dis
cuss fairly and forcibly every po-
litical issue. You will see II list of
his meetings in this paper, and
when these are over others will be
published from time to time, He
will, before the campaign closes,
speak in nearly every neighborhood
in the county, and we request you
to keep your readers informed
through your columns, of the times
and places of these meetings, so
that not only you, but every reader
Of the Register may have ample
opportunity Of hearing him. Go
and have your readers
go, and you will find there is no
paddock on his mouth. Not much,

- The editor Of the Register in
his last issue says:
"In the campaign two years ago,
at Piqua, Ohio, Lieut. Governor
Lee said The negroes arc better
qualified 10 Uote than the Irish or
Dutch. "
The editor Of the Register must
present better authority for the
truth of that than his own assertion
beforehe can get any man Of sense
10 believe it.

it not, that the valiant Generals
sympathy for this honorable class
Of our citizens, dates back no lon

begging their votes to elect him to
Congress And here, fellow work

not coveted the votes of acorkjRg

would not hear him agonizing over

The MILKY WAY,-Eighteen mil
lion suns furnish the light for the
milky way, which is the grandest
feature of our heavens How Tar
separated these suns may be we
know not, but they are so distant
from us that light, travelling with its
incredible speed, is ages in reaching
the earth. One astronomer said he
had gone back in the milky way so
far as would require $4,000 years
for the transmission of its light.
Whether the telescope has allowed
the human eye to guage it more or
less, the fact stands that the bounds
Of creation are as immeasurable as
their Creator.

- The men who are now making
the greatest complaints about the
extent Of the government debt in
CURED for the purpose Of saving
the Union, are not the men who
were willing to place men and mon
ey at the disposal Of the proper
governmental authorities to prose
cute the war and put down the re-
bebellion, but they are Of that class
Of politicians, led by Pendleton,
whose motto was mot another man
nor another dollar to prosecute
this id Niger war" If their
policy had been pursued, that por-
ton of what is in the United States
lying South Of the Pennsylvania
line, and South Of the Ohio and
Missouri Rivers, would now form
a slave holding monarchy-a gov
eminent more tyrannical than that
Of Spain, instead Of a country en-
joying the glorious sunlight Of
rational and political liberty.

LOOK oUTl

The Democracy Of Ohio are
making desperate effort to secure
another Democratic Legislature,
and we learn that q process of i'm
porting Democratic voters from
strongly Democratic counties where
they can afford to do without them,
into closely contested counties, is
going on, and has been.
Look out! The Democracy are
desperate. They got big bite
during the last Legislature; they
want another, and are growing des-
perute and reckless for the accom-
plishment of that purpose.
No Republican can afford to
throw away his vote on any Of the
Democratic Independent Candi-
dates, nor can he afford to lose his
vote by not voting tall. You will
find that the Democracy will put
all sorts of reports in circulation,
and use all sorts of arguments to
deceive YOU
But, remember! In this crisis
the only true path of duty for every
Republican and good citizen who
is in favor Of rebuking the eStrava-
gance Of the Democracy, is to vote
the straight Republican ticket.

The DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
GOVERNOR or PENNSYLVANIA The
Democratic State Convention of Penn.
sylvania, which assembled at Harrisburg
on Wednesday, nominated Hon. ASA
Packer for Governor The nominee
when quite youth, served several
years in tannery in Connecticut and
subsequently, removing to Pennsylvania
apprenticed himself TO n carpenter -
Having served out his time, he bought
small iarm on the upper waters of the
Susquehanna. This he soon disposed
OF, and then engaged in several impor
tant ruiiroad aud coal mining enterpri
ses, and by his tact aud energy soon
amassed n great fortune, estimated ut
over Sl5,000.000. In 1865 he made
handsome return for his wealth by
founding at South Bethlehem, Pennsyl
vahia, the Lehigh University, for the
establishment OF which he donated
magnificent park, sixty acres in extent,
aud round half million Of dollars in
money. The Philadelphia Telegraph
says: While engaged in his extensive
and absorbing business projects, Mr.
Packer has devoted much of his time
and attention to political affairs. For
several years he was member of the
State Legislature, his service in that
body terminating in 1913 He was
then elected judge of the County Court
holding the position five years, and 10
1853 he took his seat 10 the lower
house of Congress as member for the
thirteenth district, holding it until 1857.
During allithis period, as at present, he
was an earnest, thorough going aud
consistent Democrat. When the Dem
ocratic National Convention assembled
at Tammany Hall. 10 New York city.
on July 4, 1868, Judge Packers name
was presented to that body BY the
Pennsylvania delegation as candidate
for the presidential nomination With
