The Nominations.


To-day we place the names Of the
nominees of the Republican prinia
ny elections for the several Offices
20 be filed in this county at thC
October election, before the people
We regard the ticket as good one
and one that will be elected. Tht
people have had fair opportunity
TO make their choice Of candidates
for the several offices, and they
4 have, Of their own free choice, pre-
scented us with a good ticket-one
that Is worthy OF the support Of
every Republican in the county
Other aspirants for nomination may
have been equally as meritorious
and worthy but the tribunal to
which the compromise between can
dlQates Tor nominations was sub
mitted has In accordance with the
provisions Of this reference, pre-
scnted us with the names oC gentle
men who are entitled to our res
pect and our sufragcs and with
the proper spirit Of union and con.
centration Of our votes upon these
candidates, we can elect every man
on the Union Republican ticket. -
Ii there has been disappointment
on the part Of some, let us lay
aside all PERSONAL feelings and mi
nor obstacles, and cast our influence
and our votes for the nominees OF
the primary elections, remembering
that the contest now Is not between
Republicans for nominations, but
between Republicans and so!called
Democrats for the election for the
asccndency,

Those "Rascals" Supported By
ID. ..r Taxation,

"Tbe laborlng people arc worn
out with bearing the burdens Of
taxation to support these raseals. =
Not much longer will the laborers
go up TO pay tribute-not one tenth,
but about one half, in some cases. "
"Where is the money to pay our
taxes to come from?" Extracts
from Col, j. III CoaneU8 Speech
atMc Pendlctoa Rat!fcation Meet
{ng, WcdaeSday EUeRiag, Aug. IL,
1869. .... ..-...
Col, Connell was Internal Reye
nue. Assessor of the 18th District,
under Johnson. 1t is q notorious
fact, which is being daily demon
strated, that "not one tenth, but
about one hall" the taxes, ''in some
cases." went to "the support of
these rascals'' during A. Johnson's
reign as President, Col. Connell
was one ofthem, and should thor
oughly purge himself of the stigma
of having been an Internal Revenue
officer during those times. Gen.
Grant, when he determined to have
an honest aud faithful collection of
the revenue, turned out all whom
he thought were dishonest, and put
new men into their places, and the
result shows the wisdom Of that act,
in the fact that since the 4th day OF
March, 1869, the Government has
paid off about fogtyfue millions Of
tile National debt-forty-lve mil
lions which had previously gone to
"the SHppoU QftheSe rasoalS sand
this, too, in the face Of the fact that
the tax Oh manufactures has been
re3uce9 from fWy dollars d MoHS-
and to TWO DOLLARS thousand -
"WhGre is the money to pay our
taxes to come from f"--from the
faithful execution of the laws, and
the honest and economical collec-
ton and disbursement of the tax
collected; and soon the "burdon"
can be still further reduced so that
nothing but wealth and luxury will
be taxed, Col. Connell should be
the last man to cry out against the
taxation Of the people. We would
not accuse him of being dishonest,
but this we will say that while dis
tillors were compelled to close their
houses In some districts because
they would not comply with the
law, for nearly two years, the dis
tilleres in the 10Th District were
running in full blast and making
thousands of barrels of spirits. III
q distiller in one part OF the State
Of Ohio could not pay 81 tax on
his whiskey, how is it, Col Connell,
that a distiller IN another part Of
the State could run in full blast,
everything being equal? Support
these rascals Thank God the
winnowing process has been going
on, untilraseals in the Internal Rev
Onue Department are getting scarce
-~or it any still remain they will
soon wish they had left the service
before the doors Of the Democratic
party were closed against them -
The cry Of "stop thiefP' won't do
in this case, Colonel Better let
the job out to the valiant Baber-
"phe burdens oftaNation to support
these raSca1s' is good. 1t is like
the recoil Of badly constructed artil-
lery,-- D. 81 Journal.

-- The Republican Mass Meeting
at Wilmington on Thursday last
was said to have been the largest
political meeting that has been held
there for 30 years. The people
came from every quarter, BY cars
and by every other conveyance
by which Wilmington could be
reached. The estimate Of Cincin
natl reporters is that there We're
from 10000 to $1,000 persons
present, Gov, Hayes made u most
excellent speech, thoroughly vonti-
latlng the unwise and partisan leg
islation Of the late Democratic Leg
islature, and their reckless waste Of
the peoples money in the State
Treasury
In the afternoon Senator Morton,
Of Indiana, spoke about two hours
and a quarter, with his usual force
and power lie thoroughly iddled
the Democratic platform adopted
at their late State Convention, talk
ing it up, plank by plank, and
completely shiyclins each ono of
them.
The speakers were listened to
with great attention, but the crowd
was 50 large that all could not hear
and a portion Of the time speaking
was going on from two stands. II
looked asthough the campaign had
fairly opened. And the opening is
auspicioue, and everything but chi
oouraging to the chop fallen De
mocracy, who, by the declination
Of Gen, Roseorans to accept their
nomination, have been thrown back
upon Pendleton, and forced, during
tho campaign, to meet q record
that they are ashamed Of, and want
as little said about as possible.
But they cannot dodge it. They
have got to face their old record,
their opposition to the prosecution
OF the war, their discouragement Of
enlistments, their declaration that
we could not whip the rebels, their
efforts to discredit the currency OF
the country in order to embarass
the government in prosecuting the
war, &c. These may still be un.
pleasant remembrunces, but they
win come up, and the Democracy
have got to meet them ON every
stump in this State,
