BI-Our neighbor, in an article on
the cartoon which appeared in the
Butler County Democrat, asks the
Democracy of Preble county how they
like it, and wishes us to inform him
whether we "depart" OF not. We are
emphatically i'll favor of the platform
adopted by the Democracy of Ohio
We don't think a better platform was
ever framed. After denouncing the
extraordinary means by which they
were brought about, the Democracy
accept as accomplished facts the three
amendments recently adopted, and by
so doing they have, in the broadcast
manner, declared themselves a law
abiding party, and fairly and honestly
admit the amendments to be part and
parcel of the Constitution, and no
longer issues before the people.
The departure" that is worrying
our neighber is, that we have adopted
a platform that will defeat them, and
cause us to depart" in Ohio from a
minority to a majority party-a ode
parture" they are alarmed about-and
a departure" every true Democrat is
i'll favor of.

introduction from a Radical sheet, the
Pittsburg Commercial:
A FAIR-SIZED STEAL.
Pennsylvania swindled out of $685.
900 in the collection of her war claim
from the General Government.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. II.
The Evening Bulletin this afternoon
contains an exposition of an alleged
d~efalcation in the collection of the
Pennsylvania war claims from the
General Government, amounting with
the interest to over $365,O00, which has
not been accounted for.
AS these alleged thieves are Radicals
of the most approved pattern, we sup
pose what a Radical sheet says of
them must be true. The Radical dis
temper took a pretty good hold on
them, and they made a fair-sized
steal.-Enquirer.

RESNThe Radical leaders, a short
time ago, protested to be in favor of
giving public lands to actual settlers.
Ii they are not speedily turned out of
Office, there will be no land for home
steads. Since the Radicals came into
power they have given to corrupt
railroad rings 162,OO0,OOO acres of the
public land. This at 81 so per acre,
amounts to $2G0,OG0,OOO, and if sold
would have lessened the taxes of the
people; but it was given to corpora
lions and rings. How long will the
people suffer this corrupt extrava-
gance?

BGg%A negro made a clean breast of
it in North Carolina the other day
as he stood on the gallows. lie not
only confessed to the murder of which
he had been convicted, but he gave the
assembled crowd of negroes some
wholesome political advice. He adj
vised them to keep clear of the Rad
ical party, and enforced his eXhorta-
ton by saying: "Therc is a party
called the Union party-the Radical
party. They never do us NJ good
They do us harm. They make lis do
mean things" Many a white man has
been made to do mean things by the
same corrupt party.

B5FThe Democratic State Central
Committee made a great mistake (says
the Fremont Messenger,) in asking
John NJ. Cornell, of Lancaster, to make
a canvass during the campaign. In
the first place, he is not now, nor new
er was, a Democrat; secondly, he can
not make a speech. We are very glad
to know that he will oppose the cleo
ton of McCook. 1t will add votes to
the Democratic ticket.

General Heron is a Republi-

that Grants United States Mar

who oppose Grants renomina-

ard, Casey & Co., could easily

that a pretext for numbering the
Republican leaders opposed to
Grants denomination. There
was the design, if General Her

the bayonets, the Gatling guns,
the troops and the numerous
Deputy-marshals made for the
occasion. There were no assas-
sinations for the troops and the
Marshal's deputies Selected from
