Are Won Ready,

Republicans are you organized and
ready for the fray on Tuesday next. On
that day the Republicans of Ohio will
do themselves a great honor, or will
a cover themselves with shame. They
have it in their power to elect that
honest and capable soldier and gentle
man, Gov. R (. B. Hayes, and they should
do it But it can only be done by
every man doing his duty, and determ-
lining that his vote shall not be wanting
to effect so glorious a result Remem-
Der, Republicans, and every man who
stood by the country in its dark days,
that the opponent of Gov. Hayes, was
one of the bitterest opponents of the
government and that he did all in his
power to prevent the consummstion
which has given to our nation united
government and let no vste of yours
be cast for him, and let no apathy, on
your part prevent your going to the
polls and voting for Governor Hayes
It is the old question over again,
whether you will have loyal, brave
and true man for Governor, or whether
you will have one who exhausted all
the means at his disposal to swamp the
government in its hour of trial. Let
every Republican vote be polled for
Governor Hayes and his election is
certain; let every Republican vote, also,
be polled for our county ticket, to show
that you are active and vigilant and
that you will yet be victorious. Give a
good account of yourselves on Tuesday
next, and you win he repaid in feeling
that you contributed to a great success.
Every Republican who fails to vote
helps to render the result uncertain, and
by his failure aids the Democracy.
= Every Republican who fails to vote,
neglects a positive duty. He has no
right to remain an idle spectator. Vote,
and let your vote be cast in favor of
your political sentiments, that they may
become effective.
Every Republican who does not vote
will, in case of failure, have to reproch
himself with not preventing that failure,
as be might have done.

DelinnuencH.

On the 7th of May, 1869, the Demo
cratic Legislature passed An Act 70
provide for taring Bonds, Treasury
Notes and Fractional Currency of the
United STATES, held or oUnsd By indi.
OidlQEs, companies or corporation IN this
State. The act provides that the as
SCISSOR of each township and ward in
the State shall, on or before the goth
day of June, 1859, return to the Audi
tors of the several counties, in special
lists, all bonds, treasury notes and frac-
tional currency, and said Auditors shall
cause the same to be placed on the
duplicate for taxation. The Democratic
Auditor of Sandusky county has failed
to require the Assessor to return the
bonds, and they are not listed for tax
alton. Why have they moi fulfilled the
lawl And yet they pirate about taxing
bonds. Now you can see what their
professions amount TO-

A Specimen.

The Democracy claim TO be the especial
champions of the labOring men; yet they
passed law soon after coming into power,
increasing the road tax from 50 to $3l As
this is the only tax that reaches the very
poor man, it does not show such great re-
spsct for the working man to increase it,
Their speakers advocate the PrOpriety oi
abOlishing the tax on incomes, and favor
tax on all property. Tax the widows mite
as well as the rich mans millions. How dc
our laboring men like such Democracy?

new white metal tip, which by wear has the
appearance of silver and is decidedly

Appraisers of Real Estate

There seems to be much lack of fnEor-
nation in regard to the mode of,conductinC
the election of Appraisers of Real Estate, at
the approaching election, whether separate
boxes, poll books, returns, de-, are to be kept
and made. In view of this fact, James II.
Goldman, Auditor Of State, his furnished the
furnished the following statement, which
fully explains the matter: The statute
provides (Swan d SlylOr, pp. 75l.2) that
each township outside of cities shall eonsti.
tute an election district; that the COmmis-
siOners shall divide each city into election
districts, to consist of not less then one, nor
more then five wards, in each OF which
districts an elector, resident of the district,
should, at the October election in the year
1869, be elected Appraiser of real property
in such district; that " The Judges of cleo
ton shall keep separate poll book for the
election of said Assessors, and the return
thereof, duly certified as in other case s, shall
be made to the County Auditor, who, with
bnO NlSLh Vi Inc OuuII Ol common Hie4S, and
Probate Judge of the county. shall open the
same and declare the result" rr'
1t isperfectly clear therefore, that separat,
poll books must be kept, and separate returns
be made of the election of these Assessors,
convenience requires that separate boxes
be kept and separate tickets be used in these
elections; but if the tickets used in the elect
ton of other officers, contain the name of the
assessors for the proper districtand be placed
in the same box with the tickets for the other
Offices, the Judges would be obliged to credit
the votes to the party named on for assessor;
and an election thus made, will undoubtedly
be lawful; but it viii be found very difficult,
and inconvenient to count out the votes from
the same box and keep two separate tally
sheets correctly at the same time. It will
be far better therefore, that separate tickets,
aud separate boxes be used 10 the election
Of Real Estate Assessors.

FMNEFRocK in a speech few nights
ago, attacked some of our wealthy citi.
zens because they paid so small an
amount of income tax. He neglected
to state that these men paid thousands
of dollars of local taxes, where be paid
cents, and that the same law which lev
is an income tax provides that all local
taxes shall be deducted from the income.
Hence, many times, men whose income
is large, but who are extensive owners
Of real estate, and heavy taxpayers, re-
turn but little income, because it is al
ready paid outin taxes. Yet this little
souled stranger, an eighteen month old
resident, whose Democracy, even, had
to be vouched for by Tom Holder, of
the Marion Mirror, and for whom the
court house clique, (which is ruling the
Democracy with rod of iron,) cast
honest old Chris. Doncyson overheard,
must attempt to villify old residents,
who have aided in building up the
community in which he has, as yet,
scarce gained residence, How much
taxes as does Finefrock, the ambitions
aspirant after Probate Judgeship honors,
pay. The statements of such men
should be taken with many grains of
allowance, as they have no scrgples
about defaming others.

The Messenger denies that Toney Young
made speech at the depot, before he went
off to the war, iniwhich he denounced his
former fellow democrats as traitors, copper
heads, DC. The denial is of no account
The speech is too well remembered; and
even as late as the fail of 1866, he INDUCED
in the the same kind of abuse of Democrats
The next spring, however, they elected him
constable,au he went over to their embraces
But he proved so nOtOriOusly incompetent
for the duties of the Office, that they in
duced him to resign, and had Mr.. H.
Remsbaugh appointed in his place. He
would make nice Sheriff.

REPUBLICANS! would you like to list
en- to rejoicing shouts of triumph over
the election OF Finefrock, Young & Co
Sleep on, then; stir not, stick to your
farms and shops, on election day, and
you will surely hear the music you de-
sire.
Would you like better to hear that
other song, that Ball, Fabing and our
other candidates are elected, and that
the right hath again triumphed glori-
ously? Wake up, then; spend time, and
give little. Go into the fight next
Tuesday, with a viii, aud all join in the
good work of bringing every Republi-
can voter to the polls. Cease not, flag
not, until the ballot box is locked, and
the day closes on a consciousness in ev-
cry Republican heart, of DUTT DONE.

The Public Debt.

The Copperhead RepudiatOrs having be-
gun their annual Justification about the Pub
lie Debt, tending to show by erroneous fig
ures that it is increasing instead of dimin-
ishing we give below statement from the
official documents issued by the Secretary of
the Treasury.
The National Debt, March 3lst, 1865,
three months before the close of the war,
amounted to 80, 1885, ,956 O7s.
The three months which followed were
the most expensive of the whole struggle,
because in them the army was paid of, in
cluding a large amount for back pay and
and bOunties, and the debt in those months
increased $7O7. .535 ,945.

Correspondence,

Clyde, Oct. I'd, 1863
Editor Of Journal:
Your article in yesterdays issue giving
the political status of the Democratic candi.
dates, reminds me of little incident that
occurred in this place few years ago.
Mr.. Winslow, was the Republican candi-
date, for Prosecuting Attorney, and canvass
ing this part of the county for votes. Being
pretty sharply iuterrOgated by an Irishman
as to the rights of foreigners to vote and
hold office, Mr.. WinsloW declared that
they SHOULD REMAIN IN THE OOUN-
TY TWENTY ONE YEARS FIRST, and
for himself be would say, that he did moi
want any FLANNEL LIPPED IRISH.
MANS VoTEl he could get enough with
out them to be elected. Can he do it2
Yours &c. D.

Note the Contrast.

An exchange pertinently remarks; "In
1868, Mr.. PendletOn made a speech in which
he showed that State taxes in Ohio had In
creased in ten years from $4,000, 900 to SI6,
600, He charged this to the Republican
party, and promised reform under Demo-
cratic rule. The Democrats carried the
Legislature in 1867, and the taxes are now
S22, 1000. In eleven years taxes increas.
ed S8,OO0OOO under Republican rule. In
one gear taxes increased $4,000, 900 under
Democratic rule, Let taxpayers note it.

IT looks well, don't it, to hear mer
talking of "enormous taxes" "appres
sive, burdensonre, grievous" DC, &c.
who though they aspire to control the
body polite, yet never pay a farthing
of taxes, either to educate the youth Of
the land, relieve the suferiDgs of the
poor, build bridges, repair roads, or any
other of the many expenses to which
people contribute by taxation? If you
would like to find out how much the
Democratic candidate for Representative
pays or ever has paid, in this way, take
a peep at the tax duplicate, and see if a
single 0 will not express the sum total.
Now, its no disgrace to be poor, but
it is rather despicable to have such men
arraign those who pay the taxes, and
support the government upon which he
dependent for a recognition of his rights
as a citizen, and to the support of which
he never pays a cent. Yet this man
wants to go to Columbus to represent
the taxpayers. Nice representative
aint he.

If you wish the duties of the Audi
tors office performed, and with salts
faction to the people generally vote for
John Lynch. He understands its du-
ties thrOughly and will perform them
for the benefit of the taxpayers. Gurst
has already, as Mr.. Haff's Deputy, been
assisting in violating the law passed by
the last Legislature, requiring bonds to
be listed, for taxation. If be will violate
one law, he will another, and SO you
have no assurance that the taxpayers
interests viii be safe in his hands. Vote
for Lynch, if you wish to be sure.

practice it that's the question! TIL,
total amount of taxes levied by the las
Republican Legislature was.

Or sac millions, and halt more tares
than the preceding legislature, and this
too while preaching economy, retrench-
ment &c. Now, it would have been
reasonable to expect, with this large ad-
ditional taxation, that they would have
reduced the public debt more than their
predecessors. But not SO, the Republi-
cans with $37, ,486, Ala, II paid So, 54s,-
$50 of the public debt, while the Dem
Ocrats with 100000 have only paid
$2,29S,o35 of the public debt That's
the kind of economy and retrenchment
Democracy gives the people-takes six
and half millions more from them,
and pays but little over half as much
debts as their Republican predecessors.
These same honest and economical
Democrats paid their clerk of the Sen
ate, Flood, of the Statesman for s45
days service in two years, when there
we've but 73l days in that period, Sun
days included, and the Senate was not
in Session half of that time. Layman,
Chief Clerk of the House, was allowed
pay for ll6O days in two years. Hon
est farmers need no figuring to tell |
where their taxes went when they con-
slider that Flood and Laymau together
were paid for 543 days service more
than there were days in the two years,
at the rate of $5 per day.
But this was not all. All the assis-
tant clerks in the House were voted
from $50 to $75 extra, while the clerks
in the Senate were voted from 500 to
5000 extra. The Ssrgeants at Arms in
the House were voted from $45 to SI55
extra, and the same officers in the SEN
ate received from $50 to $75 extra.
Fifteen hundred and forty dollars were
giUen a1Oay in this manner, and to cap
the climax ali the Messenger boys were
voted so cents extra for every day of
the Session, and the laws were violated
by these Democratic eneonomists in or
der to vote milage to all these officers
for the three days extra Session of 1868.
That is the way they spend the peo-
ple's money. Will you try them again.
Vote for Oscar Ball, for Representative
and you will secure a Representative
who will play no such tricks on the tax
payers.

MoRsE's INDIAN RooT PILLs.-We have
lately been shown the formula from which
these Pills are prepared, and from this our
experience IN the use Of them; can honestly
pronounce them a good safe and reliable
medicine. Being entirely free from all
poisonous ingredients they can be safely
used while performing the active duties of
life. We would advise all TO use them; and
BY fair trial you can see at once the bene-
tit derived from them. Use Morse's Indian

The question has often been asked by
those interested, "Oan l have my grew
hair restored to its natural color, without
cOloriDg the skin2 and can my thin locks
be thickened up9" We answer, alt cam"
and would advise you to read treatise on
the hair, which is published by R. P. Hall
d Co., Nashua, N. H., who send it free,
upon application. They are the proprietors
of Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer.
We learn from it, the hair, in perfect state
of health, Is constantly falling out, and new
hairs grow from the same tubes; but, in case
Of any disease Of the scalp, or by the use of
alcoholic preparations, the hair-tube becomes
contracted at its mouth, and prevents the
new follicle from reaching the surface. Their
preparation will create a perfectly healthy
condition Of the scalp, and, by its tonic
properties, will preserve and strengthen
the roots Of the hair.
