Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1869-10-21

Our neighbor of tae Register ex
hi5its a great deal Of bad humo
over the result of the election il
this county. Poor fellow,he Doc
hoos and blubbers like a grea
BOBBY, because thepeople have cho
sen to vote just as their judgmen
dictated to them, was their righ
ard iuty; exa ,ly as o propose
to do himself, and just as he has
been urging upon the voters to do
in the election of county officers
ever since, and even before the
commencement of the campaign, as
we will prove by extracts from his
own paper at various times. In
speaking Of the result of the elcc
ton in his last paper, he in very
insolent manner snubs those Dem.
ocrats who saw proper to vote for
candidates irrespective of former
political op nj ms and patty lines
We quote the following from the
Register of the l4th. The Whang-
doodle mourneth.
The election passed off quietly.
and as usual the Democrats are
beaten - the Independent ticket,
one Of the best ever before the peo
pie Of this country, is beaten by the
"Ring" candidates. This result
was brought about by the ballots
of men who call themselves Demo.
Gratis and who promised differently,
while they intended to support the
Republican County Ticket, or at
least portion oft. In this town.
ship there were a number Of Demo
cratic tickets voted from which the
names ofDr. Cotfman and T. M.
Gary we're erased and their Repub
lican opponents inserted. About
one-fourth Of the Democrats voted |
for the Republican nominee for Au.
ditor against the Independent can
didate.
Now for the purpose Of showing
Goulds inconsistency we will show
from his own paper that he lead off
in the abandonment Of his own
party (the Democratic party and
advised and asked others to do the
same thing, and now that his party
has failed, he quarrcls with them
In the Register f the Oath Of June,
we fhd the following extract in
which Gould defines his own po-
sition.
$50 far as we are concerned, and |
we speak for no other person or
party in so doing, we shall support |
for County Olhcers, men who are
honest and capable, without regard
to their political opinions as to
National or State politics.
In the Register of the 10Th of
July, the editor says;
" Nevermind the political differ
ences Of the past. Let not preju-
dice keep US from doing good. Let
not political blindness keep work
ingmen from seeing their Interests
and the interests Of the country. "
in the Register Of the 20th Of
July, he says;
1r"The time has arrived, in our
Judgment. when working
men must look TO their otCh inter
ests, and leave purity leaders and
interests to take care Of themselves,
and being convinced Of that fact,
we shall endeavor to warn our cit
zens Of what we think is in the
very near future--we shall strive to |
De and do right, regardless Of poe
itical preferences or prejudices, +

There is a fatherly warning to a
he dear people with the Injunction y
o trust in God and the people tor Il

eem to be satisfied with the results Ii
'ius entrusted. God ana the peo n
lie seem to have disappointed him, c
md now he Quarrels with them, y
In his paper Of the I'd. of Sep Il
ember, the editor of the Register h
ays h
" As Democrats, we desire all "

ecessary to maintain our organi- a
