TIE Union soldiers recently
celebrated their victory over
the rebels at Gettysburg, in
July, 1863. The New York
Day Book, one of the leading
Democratic papers in the
United States commences an
an editorial upon this celebra
ton as follows: rs..4
The GETTYSBURG MARTYRS
The authors of the Gettysburg
slaughter have just held their
annual jubilee over their VIC
Tins, and Dragged and exulted
over their impIous and &C.
cursed work, with their usual
gusto. 5.T.'..,yr.

wished, but simply and solely

so monstrous and unpardonao
BILE. But sleep on you brave
"rebels;" however obscure
your graves or mistaken your
cause, future generations will
find the continent too small for
the monuments they will erect
to your memories.
And yet the Democracy will
attempt to make soldiers be-
lieve that no,o it is in favor of
the cause of the country, and
to carry out this false pretense,
the Democrats nominate for
Governor of Ohio a-Union sol
dier, who during the war called
them traitors. But the Day
Book is more honest and calls
Union soldiers abeastly VIII
lains," and the beating back of
the hordes of treason from the
invasion of the free States, it
calls "impious and accursed
work."

GOVERNOR HAYES speech be-
fore the Republican State Con.
yention is receiving extraordi-
nary attention from the oppo.
sition. Not only do the Dem
ocratic editors denounceit but
it was even considered of sutfi
cient importance to warrant
special mention in the State
platform of the party, put forth
at Columbus, ON Wednesday,
June 2Sth- We do not at all
wonder at this, for the arraign.
ment by the Governor, of the
party, for its various acts of
political and moral turpitude
was terrible in its facts and
logic. Here are a few Of it's
facts:
"They created be tween thirty
and forty new offices at a cost
to the people tor salaries, fees
and expenses of at least $751;
600 per annum. They added
to the State liabilities for vari-
GUS purposes about 81, 500, 900.
In order to avoid an increase
of taxes levied for State pur-
poses they diminished the sum
levied to pay the State debt,
and increased the levy for 9th.
er State purpose almost $780,
900. = = Sixty or seventy
different acts were passed au-
thorizing debts amounting in
the aggregate to more than
S25,OOO,O0O. A large part of
them bear eight per cent. in
terest, and a very small part
bear less than seven and three
tenths per cent. interest. And
they passed seventy or eighty
acts by which additional taxes
were authorized TO the amount
OF over $lO,OOO,0OO."

How 1t was Done.

A friend at our elbow sug-
gests how it was that the Dem
ocratic retrcnchment legisla
ture managed to pay Flood
and Layman, clerks of the SEN
ate and House, three times as
many days as there were days
in the year. 1t was thus: :
Eight hours make a days work,
and three eights are twenty.
four; and hence, by multiply.
ing each day by three, they
get the number OF days easily,
Don't you seea The Democrats
are the friends of the laborlng
man, you know, and Flood and
Layman are great laborers-
they do lots Of dirty work fol

The Democracy often quote
with delight from Dom Piatt,
the Commercials Washington
correspondent, and seem to
think a great deal of him.
Here is what Don thinks of the
Democracy, being an extract
from speech delivered by him
before a colored educational
convention, at Louisville:
"They appeal to the people
to put thoir truet in the De
mocracy, and so hope for reform
in the service. | can not find
much relief in that direction.
Let me tell you in a sentence
what | think of this Democrat
ic party. 1t is the organized
ignorance of the land, animated
by low prejudices and vicious
passions; and while + would
shrink from asserting that all
Democrats are rascals, l will
say without fear of successful
contradiction that all rascals
are Democrats. In analyzing
the rings | found operating in
Washington last winter, | dis
covered that two-thirds of the
members belonged to that old
organization that claimed to
have been born under Jelfer-
son, fought under jackson, and
suffered death under the ven.
erable Buchanan. Whether it
rose again at any subsequent
period is for the people to say.
| would rather look for relief,
iflt is all the same, to the cols

Democratic Financiering.

Our Democratic friends have

ty. For instance, the Ievies of
last year for the payment Of
the principal and interest Of
the State debt was S1,370,1O1..
12; the levy for the support of
the State government was ST..
141, 1929. This did not suit
the Democracy; it was spending
too much money to reduce the
State debt, and did not leave a
fund large enough to allow the
Democratic kleptomaniacs a
fair chance to line their pock.
cts. Hence they felt it incum'
bent on them to make a radi>
cal change looking to a reform
in this direction, and so at their
last session, when the leyies
were apportioned, they ar.
ranged it so that the amount
to be collected for this year, to
apply to the payment of the
principal and interest Of the
State debt should be--en the
same valuation as last year
$SOO,422 81, a reduction from
the last assessment for the
same purpose, Of S569,67S.15;
the amount for running the
State Government this year
has been fixed at S1,725, ,192.OS,
an increase for the latter pur-
pose Of 1888, 3,429.15. This is
what Democratic economy
means, what it always has
meant and what it always will
mean. Cease paying off the
State debt and squander the
peoples money by reckless
and unscrupulous legislation

A Democratic War Cry Silenced.

MADISON, Oct. 1S-For some time
past the Democratic papers, and few
Republican papers, had a good deal to
say about alleged Illegal fees charged by
the School Land Commissioners, on sale
of State Lands; and considerable has been
said also, about suit against the State
Treasurer to recover such fees, on the
ground that there was no authority for
the practice of charging a seperate fee
on each forty acre tract sold, as has al
ways been the practice, except the appli
cant demands that the whole purchase
should be put in Que certificate. The suit
was tried on Saturday, before Demo
cratic city justice and a Democratic jury,
and, after hearing the testimony of
George B. Smith, once Democratic Att
orney General of the State, and other
witnesses, and the arguments of counsel,
suit was dismissed on a verdict of no
cause OF action; thus v':.ndicating the
course of the Commiss .oners.
Secretary Allen Published a card in
the journal, on 'satuarday, in regard to
the emoezziF, ,ment Of insurance fees by
MI Spence, when acting as Assistant
oecretar y, which clearly explains the case
ana '.ne steps taken by the Secretary to
as' oe ctain the facts of deficiency which nae
, occurred through his over-aonfdence in
his subordinate, and 50 secure the amount
due the State. The course of the COM
mite in substituting Mr. Breese for Mr.
Spencer as Republican candidate for Sec
cretary of State, is warmly indorsed by the
Republican press of the State, the Racine

Gross Injustice to governor Fairchiid.

The Democratic press is just at present
engag aged IL the inetfable meanness of at
tempting d show that Gov. Fairehild
| acted corruptly in granting pardon to
Michael Gamble, case which has become
somewhat noted. 1t is trne that they
make no such distinct charge, but carry
the idea Of corruption by implication.
Everybody familiar with the facts in the
case knows that no charge of improper
condnct can with any regard for:the truth
be brought against the Governor, but
truth has no place in the democratic press
during an election canvass The facts
in the Gamble case are these:
Michael Gamble was convicted of muir
der in the second degree in Jefferson
County, Feb, ,24th 1868, and sentenced to
State Prison for life. An application
was made for his pardon In 1866, which
was denied. Additional papers were filed
in the case in 1868 and on them the par
don was granted.-It subsequently, ap-
peared that the attorneys who conducted
MIR. Candles s case, obtained ST. 200 for
their legal services, and because one of
said attorneys sustained near official re-
lation to Gov. Fairchild, the impression
is sought to be conveyed, that the pardon
was granted in consideration of the ST 900.
Ihe State journal has long article Civ
ing the entire history Of the case closing
as follows:
We authorized by Governor Fairchild
to say that he had no mtamataoa that there
had been a change of attorneyfor Gamble
and that he had not heard Of any fee in
the matter at the time the pardon was
granted, and he courts the fullest investi
cation. There has been one session of
the leg gslature since the charge was
made, in the Democrat, and no action
was taken. Why was there no charge
made in the legislature last winter? They
knew that chey were ealumniators. and
will be proven so if they dare make the
charge in the legislature next winter
There are no duties imposed on the Gov
ernor which he ha, di>cha ged with more |
careful and concentious endeavor to do |
exact justice, than he has his duties in |
passing upon applications for pardons.
The fact that Gamble saw fit to en-
ploy Madison attorney and pay him
large fee to get up his papers. and attem-
pit to procure pardon, is Gamble S busi
ness, and does not concern the public

pets, engaged in the practice oflaw, have
never been SO extremely virtuous as to re-
fuse fee in case because the fec was to

SAN Army Of DefauIters''-Practi
democracy.


The worst governed States, and the
most expensiyeiy governed, are the Demo
cratic States. The most atrcciously gov
erned city on the face ofthe earth, and the
most expensively governed, is the Demo-
cratic city of New York, and it appears
to be worse and more expensively gov
erned than any other citier under the con
troll of the bogus Democracy, only because
| it is more completely within the manage
ment of that corrupt organization.
And now we have special dispatch
to the Chicago Tribune, under the head
of ''an army of detauters, which shows
how things are carried on in the highly
Democratic State Of Maryland:
Colonel w. j. Leonard Comptroller
Of the State Treasury for Maryland pub
fishes in the Democratic paners of the
State, list of 1858 officers. Sheriffs. col
lectors of taxes, etc, who are defaulters
to the State, not having closed their ac-
counts. The list runs back as far as 1S42,
and singular to say, Ill, or nearly one
half, are men who have been elected to
Office since Governor Swans treachery
gave the State into the hands of the De-
mocracy: There has not been Republi
can Shlrltf or Tax Collector in Maryland
slce 1867, and In every county some of
the officials have been derelict in settling
their accounts.
Maryland, by the way, is as good an
illustration Of bogus Democracy govern
ment in State as we will get. 1t is not
so i'll governed as some other Democratic
States Let us compare it a moment
with the State of Iowa. The two States
are not far apart in point of population
Maryland has five Representatives in
Congress-all Democrats; Iowa has six
all Radicals. The Legislature Of Iowa
is generally very strongly Republican.
The late Legislature of Maryland was en-
tirely Democrtic We have, in short, in
the two States practical Republican and
practical bogus Democratic govern
ment illustrated, so that nobody need make
any mistake about it, And here is the
illustration:
MARYLAND.

If we were to go on further we might
show similar facts in other things. The
great charitable institutions of Iowa are
infinitely better than those of Maryland
as are the public educational institutions
schools, colleges, universities, And as
it is with Iowa, as compared with Mary
and, so it is with other Republican States.
as compared with Democratic States of
about the same population. The truth
is the Democratic party Is wholly and
hopelessly reactionary in policies and
worse than old fogy in creed \ so call
ed reform movement, based on the STRAIT
egv of putting old Democratic party
hacks in the influential Offices, as IS the
case with the reform movement, falsely
so-caled in Chicago, is selt-evident i'm
position upon an intelligent public.
