AMBLER---HIS RECORD.

A year ago, at Salem, Jake Amber,
Radical member of Congress from this
District, declared:
THE NEGROES AND CHINAMEN
ARE TO-DAY BETTER QUALIFIED
TO VOTE THAN THE IRISH OR
DUTCH"
Again, in speaking of the Working
mems movement in this District, Amber
said:
Gas FOR THE GREASY MECHAN-
les AND DIRTY WORKINGMEN,
HE DIDN'T CARE A On; HE COD
BE ELECTED WITHOUT THEIR
AID"
Amber is now perambulating the Dis
trict and making speeches with a view to
reelection. Let the Irish and Dutch, 1.-THE
Mechanics and Workingmen, remember
him when they come to vote on the sec
ond Tuesday of October next. Consign
him to political oblivionl Let him no
longer disgrace this Congressional District.
He is devoid Of talent, without character,
a stranger to dignity, and does not pos
sess one qualification for the position
His record is bad. Down with the aris-
tocrat and nabobl If the w-orkingmen
do their duty, Jacob will be compelled to
remain at home.-Ohio Patriot.

The Radical nominating Convention at
pittsburgh, Pa, refused to give a single
German a place upon the ticket. Thev
were almost wild in their enthusiasm for
the Germans-on the other side of the wa
ter however.
The Radical committee at WASHINGTON
Is loading the mail bags with lying cam
paIgn documents. Nearly a million Of
these have been printed, and are being
sent out as fast as Congressmen's franks
can be put upon them. The labor will
not save the party, however. 1t is hope
lessly corrupt, and the people know it.
John sherman, who represents the Ma
t!onal banks in the U. S. Senate, is going
over to Indiana. He will tell the Hoos-
iers all ne knows about banking, of course
and how the Government pays the banks
a bonus of twenty millions a year, and in
dorses their paper for three hundred mil
hons, to compensate them for doing what
1t should do itself.
The first political battle in Delaware, at
which the Radical recruits were allowed
to fight, has taken place at Wilmington
m the result is a decided Democratic
victory. Wherever the Fifteenth Amend
ment fraud has been brought into opera
ton, 1t has been shown that enough whites
formerly Republicans, affiliate with the
Democrats, to c~ounterbalance the negro
votes.
The Detroit Free Press is after the tar
if robbers, who misrepresent that State
IN Congress, with a multiplicity of sharp
sticks. 1t p~ropounds a conundrum or two,
and offers a word of timely advice, as fol.
lows; eve ask the people Of Michigan
II this is to continue? VIII they send
fools or knaves to Congress to be the tools
OF eastern avarice and to -misrepresent
themselves? The election is approaching.
and it will be well to examine the record
OF those Republican members from this
State who have been renominated, and see
how loudly they have howled out for tar
III reform, and how persistently they have
'oIeu the other way. Whether Ignorant
or corrupt, they should not be permitted
to continue to misrepresent the interests
of Michigan.
Senator Wilson thinks the Radical can
dldate for Governor in New York is the
weakest man who could have been nomi-
mated, and comedies his defeat-in which
opinion all well informed people Will read
lily concur. The Senator also apprehends
defeat for Congressman Twitchell in Mas
sachusetts. He thinks that the Radical
overthrow in North Carolina will strength
en- and consolidate the party elsewhere at
the South, but we are happy to say there
are no symptoms of such a result visible
to the naked eye.

The Radicals are breaking to pieces all
over the country in the selection of their
Congressional candidates. In Missouri
the nominating conventions are splitting
on the Brown aud McClurg issues the
liberal Republicans and the Jaeobins both
putting up candidates. In Pennsylvania,
IN several districts, there are divisions.an ans
and the same is the case, to q more limi.
ted extent in Indiana. a position in
Congress now is considered a fortune TO
man in two years, who enllsts in the
lsnd-grabbing and tariff rings. This ex-
plains the grand scramble among. Radical
politicians for the place. Men go to Con-
gress now. not to serve the country. but

OUTRAGED.

Many Of the leading Democrats in
this part of the District feel outraged at
the conduct of their late Congressional
Convention. They declare that McGregor
& Co. had no authority to sell them, soul,
body and breeches, to Mr.. Ball, and more
than that, they won't be sold, at least for
so trifling a consideration.
Letters have been written to Hon. c. N.
Allen, urging him to come out as the
Democratic Candidate, and Democrats will
support him. The Bal is rolling-SaLem
Republican. Gamblers home Organ.)
Instead of many leading Democrats -
it should read many leading" radicals
"feel outraged" at the Ball rolling" This
accounts for the balgL of the Amber or
gan at Salem, and the alarm of his "broad
guage," free love, spirit friends. Many
sensible Republicans have been anlbzing
long enough under heavy taxation and
tariff robbery, to say nothing of their DIS
gust at the land grabbing business. They
fear too that the Negro equality party is
also a Chinese equality party. The creed
is, mo distinction on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude." Is
not that the radical catechism? Many
think that two years ago

EPHRAIM BALL AND JACOB A. AM.
RLEH

Are the two gentlemen now running foI
Congress in this the 18th district. Mr..
Amber is serving out one term, having
been elected two years ago, beating Mr..
Lawson, Democrat, by 1896 votes.
As at present advised these two gentle
men will be the only candidates in the
field and between them the people of this
district Will have to choose.
Although Judge Amber has served as
Common Pleas judge for years and one
term in Congress we are not aware of any
thing he has performed Indicative of great
ness, or goodness or remarkable merit
1t is true he made one speech, so far as
we know, on the "belligerent Rights of
Cuba"
Amber it seems has made a discovery
of the Rights Of Cuba, but we have not
learned Of him having discovered that the
laboring men of this country have any
rights. What measure did Amber ever
propose for the farmer or Iaborer? What
has he done or proposed to protect or pro-
mote the interests Of labor? In short,
where is the evidence OF Ambler's useful
ness TO the world compared with that of
Colonel Ball?
These are questions every good citizen
should seriously consider and on election
day choose between.
To Democrats we would say, human
affairs are wonderfully mixed with good
and evil, and our action is based oftentimes
on choosing that which appears likely to
be most productive of good. No Demo-
crat in his sober senses will hesitate in
this instance. Col. Balls platform speaks
for itself and is in this paper. He is not
the radical, b~ondholder or plunderer's
candidate, nor yet the tool of any corrupt
ring Of office holding vermin.

WHO ARE THE STUMPERS FOR
J.

The Office holders hereabouts are active
for Ambler's election. ]. Dunbar, Of
S~teubenville, Senator in the Ohio Senate
from that district and who is looking for
ward to be Ambler's successor is around
with his poor twaddle in defence of all the
corruption and robbery at Washington
Perhaps he would like a chance to make
a few hundred thousand in two or four
years out of a fave thousand yearly sala-
ry.
Old Thad Stevens said before he died
he wept for his country at the corruption
at Washington. He had seen men get to
Congress poor, spend more than their sal
airy in living and yet become immensely
rich in a few years.
So much for land grabbing, whisky
rings, selling West Point cadet ships, vo-
ting high tariffs to enable manufacturing
capitalists to rob the labor of the country
of millions. No doubt Z. S. Senator John
Sherman understands it all.
OF course our county officials are get
ting alarmed at the signs of the times for
their friend Amber. Hence Mckinley
Prosecuting Attorney, is posted all over
the eounty-so, James w. Underhill,
Probate Judge, which he has held going
on twelve years-a fine example his Of q
life lease of office.
We understand these worthless try to
make people believe that call is we'll
that honesty and economy prevail at
Washington under radical Grant rule
that all is lovely with law and equal tax
es and glorious prosperity. They defend
the carpet bag rule and military ~despotisn
south-approve giving negroes and rat
eating Chinese the right to vote and say
amer to the continuation of the disfran-
chising of the white people in Missouri
and other states. And this they proclaim
to be glorious freedom
The Office holders and carpet baggers'
party and the Peoples or Workingman's
party are now the two parties of the
country. Choose We between

TIL GERMAN VOTE IN MISSOURI.

The approaching election in Missouri is
likely to be exciting. The Republican
house hold is divided, each division having
a ticket in the field, while the Democrats
have made no State nominations. One
feature in the present conYass is that the
German Republicans are arrayed against
the negroes. The eloquent CARL ScHURz
and the Germans declare for the removal
of political disabilities from all men, and
for the overthrow of the protective tariff
policy. The negroes there, though they
have Just secured the right to vote, are
very anxious to prevent thousands of the
best citizens of Missouri from having that
privilege. We understand the St. Louis
Democrat the old and able Republican
organ goes with Schurz. General CARL
ScHURz, who introduced the amnesty res
olution in the Chicago Convention in 1868,
claimed its fulfllment as follows:
"A pledge has been made, the time has
come to redeem 1t, and he felt sure that
the people OF the State of Missouri would
redeem 1t What were the issues at the
present moment before them The oues-
ton to be discussed was not negro suffrage.
for that has been decided. It was not a
single one Of the great questions that agi-
tated US IN former years. There was but
one issue now before US, and that was the
northumberland of those who were
against US in the rebellion, and who we're
now tosbe taken back into this Union of
free people, and who were to assist in de-
yeloPing the prosperity glory of the coun-
try"

VICE PRESIDENT CoLFAx writes TO
Theodore Tiltsn that

would inevitably be the candidate. But
he IS not u man Of sufficient calibre and

on Revels.

THE Democratic party are opposed to
tariff robbers. Opposed TO the robbers Of
the public lands. Opposed to the plumber
rings of all kinds at Washington and else
where. Opposed to returning to Congress

or any OF their tools.
Let the PEOPLE vote right at the next
election and break up this whole bust
ness.
Is it not time the people were sending
honest men TO Washington Is it not
time the robber and plundering rings in
and around Congress were broken up?
Let every good citizen answer at the
