That the Radicals have de-

Have burdened us with
heavy taxes;
Have placed us under mill

CAMPAIGN ENQUIRER,
THE IMPORTANT ELECTION

The election on the 10th of
October is the most important
ever held in Ohio. A Legis-
lature is to he chosen, which
will elect a United States Sen
ator and re.district the State of
Ohio for Congressman for the
next ten years. A Governor
and many other State officers,
as will be seen by referring to
the ticket in another column,
are to be chosen, besides an
Important ticket in this county.
The result in Ohio this fall will
have an important bearing on
the Presidential election Of
1872. A Democratic victory
in October next will no doubt
settle the question where Ohio
will stand next year, and go
far towards deciding the Pres
idential contest. 1t therefore
behooves Democrats to be up
and doing; and there is no
better mode of arousing the
party in every school district
in Vinton county and bringing
out every vote, than the wide
circulation of Democratic pa.
pers during the campaign.-
We are sending the Macarthur
Enquirer for 4 months for
only 70 cents, and an extra
copy free to any address for
every club of ten. And if
there are persons who may be
too poor to pay that amount,
send us their names, and we
will send the paper to them.
Now, Democrats, and all the
Republicans who are with us
this year, go to work in every
school district, and send in the
names and all the money you
can. No postage to be paid in
the county.

Col. G.. w. McCOOk Unable
to Speak.

w CpCuAs
We regret to announce that
Colonel McCook, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor
of Ohio, has been compelled to
withdraw-temporarily, per.
haps-from the canvass, owing
to i'll health. The Columbus
dispatch, conveying this intelli-
gence, says that the Colonel
takes this step with great re-
luctance, and only upon the
advice of medical men of emf
nence, who say that his system
is so prostrated by his labors
in the intensely hot weather of
the last three or four weeks, as
to make rest absolutely neces.
sary. The meetings appointed
for him will be held by other
speakers supplying his place.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, in
speaking Of Col. McCook and
the canvass, says :
We had hoped that there
would be no necessity for more
than a passing notice of the
illness Of Col. McCook, the
Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. We looked upon it as
a case of over exertion, which
would pass off with a few
days rest. But the Hines;
seems to be of so grave a ma
ture as to require from the
Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee a card
announcing that Col. McCoob
has been compelled to suspend
for the present, his canvass O
the State. From all that WE
can learn of Col. McCook's i'll
ness, we do not think he will
again appear on the stump
A repose of a month or two is
absolutely essential to recuper'
ate his PROSTATE system. Un
well when he commenced th(
canvass, he has prosecuted i
through the hot season with
vigor and unyielding persist
ence that could be maintained
only by the most robust health
He was not in the possession o
the physical power he suppos
ed. Pride and ambition stim
ulated him to persevere, bu
nature could not hold out, an,
the Colonel is compelled t.
yield to her demands. Othe
speakers will fill Col. McCook'
appointments.

The New Orleans Custom
House, owing to recent occur
rences, is just now the subject
of a good deal of talk, and de-
velopments of a rich character
are coming out. Casey, the
Collector, who brought FEEDER
al bayouets to bear on the anti
Grant Republicans, is a broth
er.in.law of Gen. Grant, and q
et-bagger at that. He
was appointed Collector be-
cause Of his relationship, for he
has no other qualification, He
is ignorant and corrupt. or
course he appointed his rela'
tions as subordinates and they
appointed their relations, and
so the stream Of nepotism ran
on until it reached the coal
hole and water closet guardi-
ans. The Deputy Collector of
New Orleans-the man who
provides brains for Grants
brother.in. n.law---according to a
recent speech by Governor
Yarmouth, Of Louisiana, has
closely initiated the president
in looking after his kith and
kin. The deputy's brother is

ment, brotherin.law owns

another brother-ih-law is Chief
Weigher, and still another
brother.in-law Chief Appraiser.

The Ku-Klux Investigating
Committee.

The Committee appointed by
Congress to investigate the re-
ported Ku-Klux troubles in the
Southern States have remained
in session at Washington since
the adjournment of Congress-
A number Of pleading citizens from
different States have been exam
ined as witnesses. In regard to
the testimony elected the Chica-
go Times says:
eff the investigation before the
Congressional Committee h a S
proven anything, it has proven
that there is no such thing as a
Ku-KIux organization in t
South, and that the bill c%onferr-
ing extraordinary powers on the
President was utterly unwarrant-
ed by the condition of things in
that portion of the country. Ac-
cording to a dispatch from Wash
ington, however, the administra-
ton has decided in the face of
this fact, to proceed with the en-
forcement of the law, and to app
point a number Of special attor-
neys for the purpose of securing
conviction. No one need be sur
prised at this, since the whole
DILL was devoted and passed SOLE
ly as a part of the political en-
ginery of radicalism in the south.
