The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1869-10-21

position that our children and our chill
drcn's children would almost disown
us as their fathers, and look upon as as
unworthy Of the great trust of main
tanning a Government Republican in
form, that had been given to us ~ a
rich boon by the founders of our be-
loved State and Nation.
But with confidence in the intelli-
genee and patriotism of the people of
the county, we opened tho campaign by
procuring speakers Of ability to address
the mass meetings, and by holding
meetings in all parts of the county
and the people seemingly with one ac-
cord entered into the spirit of the work,
and rallied to the polls, so that Jackson
county now is entitled to the proud
position among her sister counties as
one Of the reliable Republican counties of
the State Not only did you redeem
the county from the Democracy in the
Legislature, BY increasing the majority
on the State ticket over the majority
of 1867, but you have increased the
majority of 227, Of 1868, to 254 in
1869, with a reserve force in Jefferson
and Madison townships of at least 100
voters, who failed to go to the election
How it thrilled and overjoyed the hearts
of those having the charge Of the po-
litical affairs of the county. How it
delights the hearts of the lovers of free
institutions in all parts of the State, to
read the news that Jackson county
gains Over her majority Of 1858
You have covered the county all
over with glory, and aided very mate
rally in preventing the defeat of the
reconstructive measures of Congress,
and placing the Government back
where it was at the breaking out of the
rebellion, by electing our candidate to
the State Legislature.
All praise be given to the people Of
this county for the noble manner in
which they acquitted themselves on the
second Tuesday of October, in defeat
ing the unscrupulous men of the oppo-
sition, who by the circulation Of all
kinds OF falsehoods on our candidates,
and spurious tickets,expected to steal,-
yes we repeat it,-Stea! into Office.
Let us not sleep on our arms, but
constantly TO stand to our duty, and in
80 doing, our State aud Nation will be
saved from the hands and control oI
those men who did every thing in their
power to make the rebellion a success,
and blot our country as nation from the
map Of The porM.
The reconstruction policy Of Con
gress by the adoption Of the 18th
Amendment, is now secured, and the
great National question that will here
after divide you and the Democracy,
will be the future financial policy of the
Government. The Democracy will en-
deavor to gain power, and exercise il,
so as to disgrace the Nation by repu-
dating the debt made in saving the
Nations life The Republican party
will contend for power 80 aS to exer-
cise il to maintain the integrity of the
Nation, and give us a standing among
the people of the earth, as one of the
great pOwers; not only great power in
military review, but great power in
moral sense, capable not only of beat
ing back foreign foe, and crushing
out internal dissentions, but capable of
doing right and Furnishing ,CrOng, and
writing in living characters on our ma
tional escutcheon, the golden rule of
"Do unto others as you wou'd have others
do unto yOu," by enacting into law the
principles embodied in the platform of
the great Republican party, of which
you make part.
And now in conclusion, without find
ing fault with any of our fellow citizens
for the unaceOuntdbie manner in which
some scratched their tickets, and roted for
their life long political enemies hazarding
the well being of the party and the gov
ernment, we only have to say, lot us
forget those trifling matters, and again
close up our ranks, and form in solid
phalanx, and at the proper time again
move on our political enemies, and
certain victory will again be Ours, for
let it be remembered, "Umted Ws stand,
dipidcd we tdR."
