The sixth District.

Ihe sixth D1SCrIct.
faH .,.a- Ji 49, il @
tThe Cincinnati Daily Times is
saying some pretty hard things
against our candidate for Congress.
Hon. John A. Smith. Among 9th
nrtlfings, sadly wanting in truth,
the Times of the 23d ult. says:
i1"Seventy eight men, consisting
Of national bankers, internal reve
nue. officers, and their little subs
aud tools, have said the Honorable
John A. Smith must run again
and the othertwo, or three, or more
Thousand voters of the district don't
know what to do about it,"
The Times does not claim to be
o Republican paper; tits out of our
district, and politically has no sym,
patty with the Republicans of the
district and ought to be satisfied
to let the Republicans of the Dis.
trictmanage their own business -
-Eerthermore, it is untrue, as isinti.
~Wated in the above quotation, that
Is of the delegates were National
bankers, internal revenue officers,
" inFgpm this eountythore was or e
ollice,hOlder in the convention, and
perhaps butlone delegate who own
ed stock in National bank: and
we have yet to learn that being n
banker on revenue officer Is good
cause for which a man in our r y
publican government should be
DISTINGUISHED Mr.. Smith, we are
well satisfied, was as fuirly and hon
orobly nominated as any candidate

imOuse Listen to 1t:
.rWe dOlnot believe, though, that
Johpny. Smith is in "cahoots" with
Denver, the Democratic candidate,
and playing into tie hands Of the
latter by persisting in running for
Congress, so as to insure Denver's
elaelipn, We do not believe thl,.
We bHink, on the contrary, that
Johnny Is just exactly the silly,
cohiplaceht creature to believe he
can be elected
EFhatis generous in the Times. -
Butieis not altogethcrso clear that
The Times isRot ia "cahoots'' with
Denver the Democratic candidate,
and plnying into his hands to Sc.
cure his election. If the Times
thinks, by its meddling in the affairs
of tds Congressional District, it
can defeat the Republican candidate
and elect Denver, we can assure it
that IL is counting without it9
hosts Smith will be elected, and
our Democratic friends, and those
who eoaleseo with them to defeat n
tncdand true Republican candidate
for Congress, may as well chang
their harps upon the willows" De
feat, to them, is Inevitable; and all
their fancies Of victory before the
election will, on the evening of tho
second Tuesday in October, vanish /
into thin air, and their plethoric
canQidate for Congress will be IN.
wiling TO own that he ever was n
.o9nlidqte for that Office in the 9th
pistglet Of Ohio, and conclude that
he bad better staEat home in Wash.
ipglon City, and next time let the
Democrats Of the 9Th District SO
lect for their candidate n citizen of
the District.
