Assertions versus Facts.

It is perfectly easy for the Demo
cracy to assert that the Republicans
are running the country by their ex-
travagance and mismanagement, but
it is not so easy for them to contro-
vert the official figures which go to
show that under the rigid system of
economy adopted by President
Grant, and his faithful department
officers, the finances Of the nation
are in most prosperous condition.
Most nobly is Gen. Grant redeeming
the pledge contained in the verbal
message sent by Mr.. Dawes to the
people of New Hampshire a year
ago last March, wherein he said:
"1'eU the people Of New Hampshire
that during my administration there
shall be no ascending scale Of the pub
Tic expenditures; that l0hereUer and
achenerer the closest scrutiny shall dis
close the possibility Of cutting off q
dollar 1t shall be DONE"
Elsewhere to-day, we publish an
official tabular statement from the
Treasury Department, which places
the whole matter in its true light.
1t is a faithful comparison between
the Democratic administration of
Andrew johnson, and the truly Re-
publican administration of U. S.
Grant. There is no uncertainty
whatever in the argument presented.
1t shows during the first eighteen
months of Gen. Grants administra-
tion an increase in the revenues,
over the last eighteen months of Mr.
Johnson's administration, Of $751;
2l3, ,762 60, while during the same
period the public expenditures have
decreased $82,853,O6O 77-making
the real saving to the country $17O,-
O66,8 81.
Under reduced tariff it has cost
Gen Grant less to collect 1924, 1885,
139 q than it did johnson and his
blood-sucking democratic officials
to collect $251, ,973,708 19, while the
faithful internal revenue officers Of
the present administration have col
lected $53, ,264,9 Is more at a cost
of more than a million less than was
done under the preceding admins
tration in a corresponding length of
time. To sum it all up in a nut
shell, while the Democratic admins
tration of Andrew johnson, during
the last eighteen months ofits exist
ence, reduced the public debt only
81, ,3S3, 400 81 the Republican admin
istration Of Gen. Grant, during the
eighteen months of its existence,
with diminished facilities, reduced
it $169,542,106 60. Difference in
favor of Republican over Democratic
economy $168,158,648 SO. Here
have the people assurances of fnan-
cial wisdom, of sterling honesty and
a most rigid economy, a condition
of things they will not be inclined to
disregard in the casting of their bal
lots, either in the immediate or re-
mote future.-AEro8 Beacon.

The Ninth District.

The contest in the Ninth District
is quite animated and the Democrats
are evidently alarmed for the safety
of their candidate.-Foster's person
al popularity and fitness for seat
in Congress will unquestionably
secure many Democratic votes, and
it is hoped by his friends that enough
independent, honest Democrats can
be found in the district to secure
his election. A correspondent of
the Cleveland Leader, writing from
Gallon, thus speaks of Mr.. Foster:
Charley Foster is daily growing
in strength and favor with the peo-
ple. Where the people know him he
needs no one to advocate his cause.
His personal acquaintance in the dis
trict is quite extensive and his per-
sonal popularity unbounded. Per
hans, no man in the district has so
much personal popularity and SO
MANY personal friends. And he well
deserves this popularity and friend
shin. The purity of his life: his
district integrity and honesty; his
uniform kindness, generosity, and
liberality, with many other noble

1t is reported that the French
free-shooters on Saturday ambus-
caded distinguished party of Prus,
SLAMS, including King William and
the Duke of Nassau, while on theil
way from Rheims to Chslons. The
Duke'is said to have been mortally
wounded, and one of his staff was
killed, while the carriage containing
the King was struck with several
bullets but no one hit. The guerril
las made their escape.
Garibaldi has issued manifesto
on the French Republic. 1t is bet
ter than Victor Hugo's in that it is
briefer, more coherent, and more
consistent with common sense. He
recommends policy ofpeace, and
deprecates fighting our German
brothers, who have destroyed the
empire, "the germ of the tyrany
which weighed on the world" He
also reminds the revolutionists that
they have heretofore made mistakes
and hopes that the republic may be-
come "wise by the lessons of the
past" Encouraging proof of wis
dom is seen in the exclusion of the
rhapsodists and social disorganizers
from actual power in the control of
affairs. No better evidence of the
character of the revolution can be
found than in the moderate and con-
servative tone of Garibaldi.

a BRiTIsH importing firm in New
York, has sent ten thousand dollars
into the Third District Of this State,
in order to try and compass the de-
feat of Schenk. This is a genuine
free trade movement, and working
men should understand that when
British interest and British gold are
to be used to elect a free trader like
Lew Campbell, that free trade is not
favorable to American Industry.
How can they, then, vote for a free
trader who is bound to labor for
British interests as against Ameri-
can. Dickinson is Free Trader,
and the same interest which supplies
money to Lew Campbell supplies
money for this and other districts,
in order to aid in electing Democrat
ic Congressman. Dickinson is using
some Of it.

The Democratic Candidate and His
Onlv Merit.

@tAOA4Ls
As Probate of Sandusky county in 1868, he
took charge of the business of issuing natural
ization papers during the campaign, which re.
suited in his election. He made no canvass OF
the district, but confined himself to his Office,
claiming that his official duties occupied his
time. He did not deliver single speech dur
ing the campaign, and did remain in Fremont
up to the day of election. His Office at Ere
mont was made the headquarters for system
of naturalization and voting frauds, which has
not been surpassed in magnitude and villainy
even in the Democratic strongholds Of New
York City. Hundreds of illegal naturalization
certificates were issued from Dickinson's office
during the two months prior to the October
election of 1868. All of them bore the sigma
ture of Dickinson and the seal of his Office
placed thereon either by himself or his preten-
ded deputy. Democratic candidates in other
counties and districts availed themselves of
Dickinson's naturalization mill to send on to
him lists of names for which fraudulent GER
tidcates were made out. AS His man Friday, his
willing tool in this nefarious work, Dickinson
had one McArdle, at that time and now the
most active and the most unscrupulous, De-
mocratic politician in Sandusky county. Nc
Ardle had free use of the necessary blanks and
the seal of the Office, by which to issue to all
who desired these illegal certificates. This
McArdle was subsequently arrested and taken
before Commissioner White at Cleveland, and
there admitted enough to more than Justify
the officer in binding him over for trial Dick
inson himself, frightened by the appearance of
a storm, admitted freely that frauds he'd been
committed, and that his name had been signed
to illegal certificates, but with the basest cow
ardice and ingratitude charged the full blame
upon McArdle. Similar frauds were praoticed
in Ottawa county. In addition to these frauds
Dickinson had in his political employ one
Tyler, pot-house politician of Fremont, who
as Judge OF election induced minor to vote
for Dickinson, he, Tyler, knowing the voter to
be under age.
Such is the sole merit of the man Dickinson
Are the voters Of the Ninth District prepared to
say that such merit justiies them in voting for
Dickinson on the l1th of next month.

Every Republican should make it
rule to get his vote in as carly in
the day as possible. In this way a
full vote is secured, and if any lay
behind, there is ample time to look
them up and get them to the polls
before they close. Vote early, then,
and see that your neighbor also
votes. Remember full vote is q

The Chicago Times still contin-
ues its Democratic war upon the
Germans. In late number, in an
editorial article on the Franco-G Ger
man war, the editor of the Times
said:
"The Dutch of this country have proven a
most stupendous fraud. The records at the
War Department at Washington show one
continuous line of shelved Dutch Generals
during our late row. Charlottesville was re-
peated on q smaller scales wherever Dutch bat
tallions were placed in battle array. They
vote Just as they fought, on the side offering
the most lager beer and the most money. 1t
is useless for the Democracy to pander to the
Dutch vote. 1t lis a curse to any party"
Germans, such is the language,
the leading organ of the Democracy
uses against you, and it is very evi-
dent it believes all it says. 1t is the
accepted organ of Dickinson, and
Notwithstanding he may fawn upon
you, he none the less endorses its
sentiments. Teach him that you can
not be purchased with "the most
lager beer and the most money" as
the organ of his party declares.

Why Every Laboring Man Should
Vote with the Republicans.

Because the Republican party, since the
hour of its birth, has been the especial cham.
pion of free labor.
Because it was the party that preserved
'free men," while the Democratic party, the
tool Of slave ohgarchy, sought to surrender the
great West TO enslaVed labor.
Because we protect American industry
against foreign competition, and thereby en-.
able laborers to support themselves in better
circumstances and with less than any other
nation Of people on the broad face of the earth
Because all the laws passed by the Repub.
lican party, since it gained power, have been
foc the protection Of labor against capital
Because the Republican party has reduced
the hours of labor and made it more honora-
able, because free and more remunerative.
Because we only tax the capital and luxu-
ries OF the country, while labor and the neces-
saries of life are exemt.
Because it is to the Republican party we
are indebted to-day for our existence as a na-
ton, by conquering Democratic rebellion,
whose corner stone was the enslavement of Ia
Dor.
Because, lastly, for the benefits OF free,
economical and prosperous government, feared
and respectable among all the nations of the
earth. And, then, labor has been elevated;
humanity morality and religion prospered as
never before. For these reasons, and for To-
yalty, honesty and respectability, the laboring
men OF the country should vote with the Re
publican party, against the organized ieno-
rance, rebels and repudiators on the country.

New National Era, that, while he
respects the right of men to vote
with whatever partyhor for whatever
men they please, and while he should
deem it a crime against the govern
ment TO seek to preventl-them by
force from exercising this right, he
crn only conceive of a colored vote
for Democratic candidates as the
act of one who, while wearing the
the outward semblance of a man,
carries in mis- breast the heart of a
spaniel, cur-one who licks the
foot that kicks him and the hand
which chains him; or as poor fool,
who does not know enough to go
under shelter when it rains, OF that
knowing it, is too lazy and cowardly
to do so.

Look Quit watch your Tickets.

Look Outl Watch your Tickets.
The Democracy have fashion of
imposing fraudulent tickets upon
voters, as well as making voters with
fraudulent papers. They do it, as
they are often able, by procuring a
genuine Republican ticket, and then
printing as nearly as possible fac
simile, except that they substitute
the name or names of candidates
whom they are particularly anxious
to elect. They have even been
known to paste one name over an
other, when they could not counter
felt the original print, andso secure
a vote here and there for q particu-
lar candidate. Eight votes thus
fixed up, were voted at one election
in the city, a few years back, and
such trick may be resorted 20 again.
BY all means examine your ticket
and see that there is no name print
ed or posted on it except the names
of such as you intend to vote for.

We learn from the Tifin Tribune
that Dickinson has been resorting
to dodge, much like selling Cadet
ships, in order, if possible, to com
pass his election, which he begins to
think is very doubtful. In each
county in the district the Tribune
says:
"He has selected two or three townships
from which TO take a person for recommends
tion-and he agrees to recommend either O
Republican or a Democrat, owing to the DO
itical complexion Of the place, and the benefit
he hopes to secure by such action, from the
friends OF the party recommended.
This move is very ridiculous, but it Is Just
in keeping with his abilities.
We would like to inquire Just how many Mr.
Dickinson is entitled to recommend end what
the prospect is for the selection OF any OF them

Yes, but the dodge won't work,
nor will Dickinson win. Next
Tuesday night he will be the sorest
man in the Ninth District.

of it to deceive. Several of

The Democracy are constantly promising
what they will do when they secure political
power. An exchange gives the following as
a sample of their work where they have pow
er. "The Democracy are in power in Franklin
county, and there the Treasurer was removed
from office before his term expired for being
defaulter. It Butler county, Ohio, the Demo-
Gratis are in power, and the Treasury was found
empty when it should have contained over
hundred thousand dollars. In Coshocton
county the Democrats were in power, and the
Treasury was robbed by its own Treasurer.
In Hancock county the Democrats are in pow
er, and three Democratic county Treasurers
have proved defaulters in succession, and the
last Democratic Sheriff was also defaulter to
the amount of $4,000" "By their works ye
shall know them"

have been and are, in power. and |
