Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-09-28

duty is to see that no illegal voting
takes place. Mr.. Groesbeck com
plains that it will be hard for him to
cnme up and vote in the presence OF
these supervisors, and yet, this will
be much less a grievance. than to
have the votes of honest men render
ed nugatory by being swamped by
illegal votes, or altogether thrown
aside by fraud.
This bill simply aims to protect in
its purity the most important institu-
ton in our political frabric, by place
ing it under the control ofthe Judges
of the Supreme Court, men who are
supposed to be farthest removed from
prejudices and undue influences.
But let us look to these sensitive
gentlemen, when and where they are
in power. We will find in the
TAoMANY FRAUDS
strong refutation of their profess
sion of economy. To day, for the first
time during this campaign 1 have
had the pleasure of hearing q Demo
cratic speaker condemn these scoun
drels. Ali honor to General Ewing for
the bold words he uttcrs against them.
But why has not this been done be-
fore? They dare not denounce Tam
mann, for Tammany controls New
York City-New York City controls
New York state. For whenever an
election IS to be carried, all that is
| necessary is for the managers in the
rural districts to telegraph to the
metropolis the number of votes need
ed and they are supplied. New York
State democrats, rule the demo cracy
of the whole country, and though ii
may be true in some sense that these
frauds are local, the same set of men
who have proved on the city will il
the Democratic party comes into
power, prey on the nation. They have
been building Court House in New
York city, land before it was completed
had spent millions for repairs. They
spent for carpenter work and furniture
S2,620,00O, repairing and altering
plastering, 51,20I, 900. They have
bought acres of chairs. They
spent 81 800 for thermometers, they
have purchased enough carpet to
stretch from Newly ork to NewHaYen
They have paid moneyon bills signed
by persons who can not be found.
In 80 months they have in
creased the city debt $4,000, 900.
These New York managers want to
get their fingers in the national treas
ury, when that happens it will be 9
good day for thieves, but deviiish
hard time for honest men.
Hon G. n. Lamison, the last speak
er on the stand, Who'll believe, is the
Representative in Congress from this
district, called the particular attention
of the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio, to the statements
which he said he was about to make
| was at that time by invitation sit
ting on the platform occupied by the
Democratic speakers and in most
conspicuous place. He said, ED
ward f. Noyes, while Probate Judge
of HaIniltol county, collected S25, 5,0OC
or $4,000 fees for which the law re-
quired him to account and pay into
the treasury of the county, after de
ducting 4 salary allowed This he re
fused to do, and he had finally to be
indicted, and prosecuted for violation
of the law" All of which is q lie
inexcusable and uncalled for. 1 have
the law to which he alludes, befor,
me, that law went into effect on tht
9th of April 1870, my term of Office
expired in FEBRUARY, 1870. This Law
went into effect at time when | wa!
out of office, and on the other side o
the ocean, in Europe. l called Mr.
Lamison's attention to the above fact:
as we walked down stairs after til,
meeting, He wrote and sent me :
note OF opology, which is even more
insulting than the original statemen
made here in public 10 day, he says
"If you were not indicted under thi
law YOU were under some other"
The law alluded to applies to ;
Democratic officer, do not say tha
he has in any way violated the law
There was another law, that provide,
that the Probate Judge should keel
an itemized.fee bill filed with the pa
pers of every case. Now these fe,
bills were kept by me and duly file,
in every case, and the law in every
particular was fully complied With by
me. As TO this man, know nothing
his statementswere false and can no
but consider that his conduct in stat
ing them, even if he believed them
was in very bad taste. For l was a
that moment their guest, placed in ;
position where l conld not delen'
myself, but Iwould say in
CONCLUSION
that / believe that the best interest o
the nation demand that the Republi
can party be continued in power ant
looking hopefully to the futnre, W.
ask that our record be fully, fairl,
and impartially investigated.
Grateful for the blessings free institu
tions. and for the abundance with whicl
our lives are crowned, we look trustiull
, to the future. Remembering the glori
, Gus traditions of our state. and the grea
name whose lives adorn the history o
Ohio. the wise counSels of her statemen
and the brave deeds of her soldiers hav
ing confidence in the patriotism and in
telligenc: of her people. and faith in tht
providence which overrules us, we dar,
to hope for the success OF such principle:
now and hereafter. as will insure pros
perity. and wealth, and happiness to tha
Dosterity whose inheritance We hav,
helped TO secure.
After the cheering subsidcd, Gen
Moves, in few deservedly compli
