The number Of it's writers is increased, but its

Miss SUSAN b. ANrHoSY also remains 1t the head

fifteen cents per line for articles ad-
vocatinc the election of our candi-
date for Congress. 1t is the usual
stvle of Democratic argument, mere
" denunciation without proof. They
make no argument, and never pre-
sent a passable reason why the thing
they denounce is what they denounce
it, but expect their readers to swal-
low their statements without proof.
In the present case we have only to
say, that an editor who has so poor
an opinion of the profession, as to
charge his brother editors with We
nality, for supporting the represen-
tative Of their oft proclaimed princi-
pies, must evidently at some time
have been guilty of what he now
charges upon others, sndhe is simp-
ly measuring them by his own stan
dard. Otherwise he is a most un-
considerable liar. The amiable
neighbor can take his choice.
The only party that pays for
such services is the Free Trade
League, whose tools the Democracy
are. This league makes no effort to
conceal the fact, nor does DR.. Perry
on Gen. Brinkerhoh,, deny that their
services are paid for. This league
is supported by English and other
foreign capital, and supports the
same principles which Dickinson
maintains.

1t is a nice thing, sir, to charge upon
your party. To appear before our
constituents with the semblance OF
virtue, and with protestations OF
economy and retrenchment, make
the American Eagle spread itself be-
fore them it all its glory and beauty.
In gazing upon its efulgence, they
become lost to the facts of the case,
sir, and are not inquisitive as to how
such things can be. To tell the truth
it is an object to get them lost, as
soon as possible, sir, so that leading
questions may be avoided, and gilt
tering generalities, and high sound
ing phrazes substituted. They
tickle the fancy, sir, and bewilder
the imagination, while the national
bird scars away in its empyrean
fight, higher and yet higher, until at
the altitude of the sun, its shadow
is cast over the whole world, sir, for
casting a grand universal govern
ment, based upon "liberty, equality
and fraternity" except as to niggers
and Chinese, who are the especial
horror of our adherents.
Here he paused, and drawing
his linen across his countensnce, as
sumed a thoughtful attitude. Glib
erty equality and fraternity" is a fine
theory, but the application is diff
cult and dangerous, he murmured,
and so musing he retired.

The war.

The war news presents no excit-
ing feature beyond rumors of the
approach of the Prussians to Paris
near which they are now in force.
The news from Italy is of peace
full character, though the moving
ofarmies, and the taking possession
of the Roman States looks not so
peaceful. The Italians, however,
are not meeting with any organized
opposition, and it is reported the
Pope will give theKing of Italy quiet
possession of the Etarnal City. Ru
NOR says he will take refuge upon
an English vessel, and proceed to
England.
Rumors of peace proposals pre-
vail. and counter rumors are cur
rent that the French will fight to the
bitter end. Then there are rumors
that the Republic will be short lived
and that an Imperial government
will be formed. But the rumors of
one day are superseded on the next
by a fresh batch, and all is uncer-
tainty.

Dickinson on ''Frohigacy and Extra
vagance.

In their State platform, the Dem
ocracy charge the present Admins
tration with ''profigacy and extrava-
gance," in the management Of the
affairs of the government, and as the
convention which nominated Mr.,
Dickinson placed him upon that plat
form, it is presumable that he en-
dorses the charge. Is it not so, Mr..
Dickinson.
DIcK1NsoN-Yes, sir, we boldly
charge that the government has been
extravagant beyond all precedent.
Is not this a time Of peace, sir.
Truly; although we believe you
folks still keep up the idea that the
South is kept down and controlled
by the bayonet, and you voted
against the admission of Georgia so
as to be able to continue that
charge, didn't youP
D1cKrNsoN-That.was the real idea,
but we veiled it under another plea.
But, this is time Of peace, sir, and
the expenses Of the government are
enormous, sir, enormous. In time
of peace, just think of an admins
tration spending $292,124,O52,19. I
tell you sir, it is enormous,
Was not the country at peace dur
ing the administration of Mr.. John
son, and especially during his last
year, when nearly all his officers were
of the Democratic persuasion?
D1cK1NsoN-Yes, l admit that, but
l am not examining the record Of his
administration, but of this one.
But how are you going to deter
mine the relative value of this ad-
ministration? You must admit that
Johnson's last year cost the country
$348,655, 5,245,S7-or $56,532,193,17
more than Grants first year.
DIcK1NsoN-Well, amt going to
talk about that. In the time of
James Buchanan, his administration
cost the country only $63,O25, 1894,
Now, look at the difference.
Well, we will look at the difference.
The Buchanan administration by its
imbecility left a war upon the hands
Of the country, which cost an enor-
nous sum of money, and left an i'm
mense debt to be paid. You were
out in the commissary department,
we understand, and know little
about what it cost; you may not

uniformed as to the extent and meaning of
the law of Naturalization
We took that mild view of the
case, certainly, and think we did
them but justice 1t is too late to
pretend that numerous fraudulent
papers were not issued. The proof
is cumu Iative on that point. Many
of those papers were issued to per
sons who had not even been in the
country a year, and in another
column we give a paper Of this kind,
which was issued to a person less
than two years resident of the coun-
try. Now, we prefer to believe that
such men were ignorant of the law,
and the dupes Of Dickinson and Nc
Ardle, rather than believe they were
well informed in regard to the law
and the wilful vislators of it, which
the Forum would make them to be,
by the following:
The foreigners who come here have a far
better knowledge Of our country, its govern
ment, history, tradition, and customs, than
our native population with all its boasted
intelligence has of the government history,
traditions and customs of the countries from
which these foreigners emigrated.
We do not desire to detract a par
ticle from the intelligence of foreign
ners. The points is this, however.
That fraudulent papers were issued
in large numbers, is a fact that is
not denied, and of which we have
proof; but in order to shift the res
possibility for the crime from the
shoulders Of Dickinson their candi-
date, the Democracy is obliged to
charge the foreigners with wilful
and criminal violation of the law, as
it does in the above, where it says
in almost so many words-"these
men knew the law and wilfully vio-
lated it." And that is the way the
Democracy serve foreigners; first
they use them to attain their purpo-
ses, and then shift upon them the
responsibility for their crimes.

'OA QUA ONLY COW
The Reason Why.

The Bucyrus Forum thus ginger
ly seeks to palate the offence of
which Dickinson was guilty in 1885,
Suppose it were true as claimed, that Mr..
Dickinson naturaized several thousand for
eigners without authority of law, these per-
sons so naturalized are all criminals and liable
TO fine and imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Why do not these generous fellows who hap
pened TO be born on this side Of the Atlantic
prefer charges against these illegally natura-
lized foreigners before the Grand Jury, cause
them to be indicted, and punished to the full
extent of the laws severity?
Well, there are several reasons.
One, and the most potent, was, that
those men were the dupes of Dick
inson and McArdle, and while they
committed crime did it, in the
main, ignorantly, as most of those
arraigned admitted, and it wopld be
unjust in a certain sense to make
them suffer for the guilt Of their
principals. But if they had been,
then this same delectable Forum
would have paved the earth, and
lashed the air, in its mad fury, to
show that they were prosecuted.
Another reason, and a strong one
was, that as soon as the fraud was
discovered, and there was likely to
be an investigation Democratic run
ners toere sent ont Orer this county,
and doubtless in others, to gather up
the erideaces Of the guilt of their
Congressman, that they might be des-
troyed, so as not to appear as evi-
dence against him. That's what
was the matter. But it adds:

plead that these foreigners were ignorant and

The Way They Do Il.

The council some time since, made
appropriations for fixing Front
Street, and different other streets,
among them Ohio Avenue, which
lies on the east side of the river, and
runs past the residence and grocery
store of one Of the Democratic mem
bers. Now be it known that the
Council is Democratic 4 to p
which is accounted for by a super
fluffy of Democratic voters in the I'd
and Sd wards-that the street Com
missioner is Democratic, and his en-
ployees mostly if not entirely fthat
stripe, yet the Democratic Council,
of which Mr.. Cores is President, had
not confidence that the commissioner
would do the work satisfactorily (al-
though he had done SO in other
streets, and Mr.. Cores was appoint
ed to see that he did the work as di-
rected. Time sped along, and 1t be-
came noised about that the entire
appropriation was being expanded
in front Of the residence of the afore-
said member Of Council, and not as
directed by Council, in repairing the
street IN its entire length, as had
been done on the others. Here was
management for you-here was STRAIT
egy;-the street Commissioner could
not be trusted, and a superintend-
ant was appointed. The superin-
tendent diverts the appropriation
from its channel, and has it applied
solely to the improvement of his own
property, while the rest of his neigh
bors must live in the mud, and the
balance of his townmen must pay
the expenses of improving his
wing his property. How do you like
that tax-payersP What do you
think Of the "proAigacy and extra
vagance" part Of the Democratic
platform now? Here's an exemplif-
cation of Democratic economy for
you, of a kind you can understand,
The said Councilman has had nice
job done, a splendid job; if you want
to see what it looks like, just walk
over on the hill and "view the
ground" And the best of it all is
it didn't cost the Councilman one
cent-nary a red. There's where
the economy comes in. But it cost
the taxpayers just the amount ex
pended, and every one of the citizens
have paid towards making the nice
little improvement,
But the Democracy is death on
"prohigacy and extravaganza" and
Dickinson proved it by voting against
reducing the taxes $6O,OO0,OOO, and
the import duties $2O,OOO,OOO. The
Democratic Council also proved it
by votiRg to make the PUBLIC PAY. for
improring Mr.. Cores property. Let
it be recorded in VANS favor that,
before the vote was taken, he declar-
ed every councilman who voted to
pay for the Improvements before Mr..
Cores door, SHOULD be impeached."
But he did not peep when the deed
was done. Not he, although it is
said he and Cores had a lively pass +,
age after the adjournment of Coun-
Gil.
By the way, that Council meeting
was a high old time, and will be re-
membered lengthily by those who
were present. OF course when the
bill for work on Ohio Avenue-front

We have shown fraudulent vote
in the District of 800 for Dickinson,
which if deducted from his majority
of 1,645, would have left him but
S45, as all the majority he was leg
ally entitled to. The increase we
have shown above, is enough to car
ry the District, by a majority Of %,
the balance of Grants majority be-
ing occasioned by a falling off in the
Democratic vote of Huron county.
If we take last fall as a test, we
find that in Huron county, taking
Grants vote as a basis, land then
the Republican vote was not SO heavy
as for Lincoln by 422 votes, while
the Democratic vote was only 153
heavier for Seymour than for Nc
Clellan J that there were 626 Repub-
Iicans who did not vote. In Erie
county, there were 789 Republicans
who did not vote. The Democratic
majority last fall was but ], 1,3l9, and
that would have been overcome, if
those stay-at-homes in Huron and
Erie had voted and left a majority
of SO. But besides these there were
268 in Sandusky county, 396 in Sen
eca county, 220 in Ottawa and 1913
in Crawford who did not vote
enough to have given US majority
last fall, had all voted, of 1903, in
the District.
We claim we can carry the Dis
trict, on the old vote alone, if each
Republican will but do his duty and
go the polls. We do not want them
to think the party is going to have
an increased vote from the new vot-
ers, or from our Candidates known
popularity, but rather that they
would determine to DO as well as
they have done, at other times, and
the result will be sure, and all that
we gain from other sources, will but
add to the majority of our standard
bearer. We can elect Charley Fos-
ter, and every Republicans determi-
nation should be expressed in the
phrase "we will do it." Let them
but 60 to the polls as they ought to
do, and we promise good fair ma
jority for the Republican Candidate,
and a gain of one from the Ninth
District, in the next Congress. Let
Dickinson look to the ides of Oc-
toher.
