Look here, you men of practical
common sense. New York is under
Democratic control exclusively, and
has been for years, What is her
credit in the money markets of the
world? So low that the Berlin
Stock Exchange has declined to al
low New York city bonds to be quo
ted in It's list. This fact having
been disputed, j. W. Simonton,
Gen'l. Ag't. of the Associated Press
has published a card showing it to
be true and quotes from Berlin pa
pers corrobborating the telegraphic
statement.
On the other hand, the United
States Government is under the
control of Republicans and has been
since 1869. The result is the rails
ing of the public credit 13 per cent.

DEMOCRACY, $132. 66 =
PUBLICAN, $59.22.

The New York Times tells us that
the debt the Democracy has fasten-
ed on New York amounts to $132.66
for every man, woman and child of
the population of that city. The
enormity of this will be better per-
ceived by the additional statement
that the entire National debt amount
to but 1922 per head of the entire
population Of the United States.

= Eight Republican members of the
New Jersey Senate hold over, and
the Republicans will need to elect
but three members this fall to secure
majority. Seven counties will
elect new members, and five Of these,
last year; gave decisive Republican
majorities. Four of them at least
are regarded as certainly Republican
this year.

The Banner is trying to prevent
Democrats from voting for Mr..
Devin, by charging that he is pledg
to vote for John Sherman for u. 5.
Senator. This is not true. We
have it from Mr. Devin that he has
made no pledges or promises on
this subject. He is an Independent
candidate, and if elected will vote
and act for the best interest of his
constituents, regardless of party
considerations.-Mt. Fernoa Re

The Signal office, Washington, has
recently shown its usefulness by de-
tecting and announcing the approach
of the cyclone on the Southern
coast from As to 72 hours in advance

of the Savannah Ga, Herald that
it saved a great many lives and u
vast amount of property.

The people of Minnesota are to
vote upon two amendments to their
State constitution at their next elcc-
tion. One prohibits the Legislature
from relieving any railroad from the
tax upon its gross earnings, and the
other authorizes an increase of the
State Indebtedness, for the purpose
of erecting buildings for the deaf,
dumb and blind, and for the State
prison, to the amount of $3.50, 900 in
excess of the quarter of million
dollars now authorized by the Con-
stitution.

In relation to these enormous
frauds, Secretary Delano, in his San
dusky, Ohio, speech, says: tr5
"This example ought to be suffi-
cient. It illustrates the venality,
peculation, and political prostitution
which cover the Tammany Democra-
cy, and render its moral atmosphere
and presence feculent, obnoxious,
and infamous. Here was paid a
larger sum for repairs, carpets, and
furniture for county offices, than the
present Administration paid, in the
same year, for mail transportation
throughout the United States; near
ly three times as much as the entire
diplomatic expenses for two years
past; as much as the yearly cost of
collecting the customs revenue;
mere than all the miscellaneous ex-
penditures of the Interior Depart
ment for either year of the present
Administration, and more than the
entire annual expenses of the Indian
Bureau. Here IS a larger sum paid
in eleven months for plastering than
the. entire expense of the United
States for foreign intercourse during
the present Administration; and
more for plumbing and fitting,
in one year, than the expenses at
tending all the public buildings and
grounds in Washington city. There
was paid more money to three men
for such expenditures, in one year,
than was paid for the collection of
the entire internal revenue of the
country in any year of the present
Administration; more than double
the expense Of the United States
courts for two years, and more than
all the expenses of the Forty first
Congress.
with such a policy as this trans
ferred to Washington, the Demo
cratic clamor that the national debt
must not be paid off now, would be
found full Of meaning and full of
danger. Public credit. would fall,
and distrust of all public securities
be openly avowed. The Govern
ment could not long survive such
mismanagement." ..I .H- --.i

"Two mills on the. dollar is the
state tax just declared by the Iowa
state board of equalization. On
this sum they propose to run the
state, and pay half a million this
year toward the construction of a
new capitol. This is what comes OF
a Republican administration. In
the city ofNew Y York the tax is about
six cents on the dollar, and the new
court house has already cost a doz-
en- million, and has not yet begun
to be completed. That's what
comes of Democratic administra-
ton. -.l - ~ ~ -

Can not any sane man see at
once that there is no earthly excuse
for such heavy taxes. If our county
is out of debt and has money on
interest, why, We ask every candid
thinker, should the people be taxed
to the very extent of their purse:
We can't explain. Gentlemen when
you GO to the poles think of this.

Now every person that has ever
visited Lorain county knows that
their public improvements, which
are 100 per cent. better than ours,
would naturally make the rate of
taxation much higher than in a
county like ours where there are no
public Improvements, and yet how
does Holmes compare with Lorain,
the hot-bed of Republicanism? We
give below, the same as in Lorain,
total rate for all purposes in this
county, and the rate for each town

KENTUCKY FINANCIERING.

elf it shall be objected that Dem
ocratic financiering in New York
does not correctly represent it's
average ability and integrity, then 1
propose briefly to refer the objector
to one other example. Kentucky
has never been corrupted by the
control or direction of Republicans.
1t has been and is the refuge and
asylum of those who, like the Rev.
Petroleum v. Nasby, are compelled
to leave other localities for right
eousness' sake. / will, therefore,
present the condition of financiering
in this State as it was recently sta
ted by the Republican candidate,
General j. NJ. Harlan, for Governor.
The Republican party charge the
Democratic party with squandering
the public money of the State of
Kentucky. l desire to say some
thing to you about the State debt.
1t is question you are all interested
in. / make this statement, and my
friend will not dispute it. You pay
over a million dollars annually for
the support of the State government.
The sheriffs collect it, and it is paid
into the State treasury, Since 1867
the Democratic party has been in
power. They have collected this
vast sum of money annually, and
spent it each year, and to day there
is not dollar in the treasury. Not
a dollar. They have not only col
lected million of dollars annually,
but $65O,000 from the school fund,
and spent that, and at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature they passed
an act authorizing the Governor to
borrow 100000 more out of the
sinking fund to defray the ordinary
expenses of the General Assembly.
They have collected over 81, 900, 900,
and spent every dollar of it; bor-
rowed 100000 more, and author
lied the borrowing of an additional
100000. l ask my competitor,
what have you done with that mon
ey? How have you appropriated it,"

A Washington telegram to the
Boston Post says:


"a package was received few
days ago at the State Department
from our Consul to Venezuela con
tanning specimen of coral snake
whose bite is said to be generally
fatal. The snake bit cat, which
instantly, while writhing with pain,
scratched the hand of its owner.
The poisoned hand of this man i'm
mediately swelled to an enormous
size, and the famous cundurango
plant was applied with success, the
poison being removed at once, and
the hand restored to its natural size.
The cundurango party here still ad =
here to their faith in its wonderous
medicinal virtues.

$350,000 of your money was paid
could have been purchased for 81 200
Do you suppose that the men whose
names appear on these bills kept the
larger portion of this money? OF
course not. They are silent.

only from Republican authority, we
will give brief extracts from the
speech of lifelong Democrat, Rob
ert B. Roosevelt: @
UNDoUBTED GUILT OF THE CITY Off
"That they are guilty no man
who has read the statements doubts
for moment, and no one believes
that any such sums were actually
Expended on the court house. New
ertheless l have been informed that
this building, instead of costing
$3, 100000 or S., 900, ,000,as is alleged
the latter being supposed to be the
extreme limit, has actually cost over
$12,0O0,OOO. To prove this 1 have
been shown the figures purporting
to have been taken from the Con-
troller's books, but l hope / was de-
ceived, and that they were exagger-
ations. But of the facts distinctly
alleged in the public press there can
be no question. 1t is admitted by
default that millions on millions of
the public money have been paid to
a few obscure individuals, for which
they neither did nor could have per-
formed equivalent labor, while lit
tie printing company of $4,000
capital has received 81 500, 900 from
the county alone in one year. .s'

posing these shameless iniquities,
rather in defence of Democracy
than in arraignment of it, rather
extenuate, and set down naught in
malice. By a combination of GER
tain Democratic and Republican of
fice-holders in this city, the votes Of
the people no longer express their
will. They are falsified in three dit
feren ways, so that, no matter how
honest the mass of the voters might
be, the corrupt Ring would appar
emily be retained in power. To eff
feet this three forces are brought in
to play. There is the use of re-
peaters at the polls, the manipula-
tion of ballots as they are deposited,
and the false counting of them in
making up the canvass. Precisely
how these things are managed 1 will

in which the people are cheated by
voting repeaters, the manipulation
and changing of ballots by the in
spectors, and the false counting by
the canvassers. He says that "be

utterly stifled until last fall" when,
