]. Park Alexander. the regular
candidate for representative of the
Republican party in letter to-day
to the Central Committee, with
draws from the canvass.
He says:
'This opposition toward me has
been of the most bitter, malicious
and nnscrupulous kind, and wholly
unsubstantiated in any of their
charges, after canvass of several
weeks. This contest can but result
unfavorable to the great and good
Republican party, and does in Its
very aspect lend aid and comfort
to our enemy, and may, if fought
out to the bitter end, result In
the selection of Democrat to
represent the Republican county of
Summit in the next Legislature. In
this view,a and having at no time any
personal ends to crafty, I can af-
ford to be magnanimous for the in
tegrity of the Republican party and
the election of a United States Sen
ator." tLtt .tft u II

GO TO WORK.

Republicans and friends of econ.
omy,we appeal to you in the name,.of
justice and right, to GO to work, if
you have not already, and see that
every voter is got out on election
day. If the people of this County
wish to be relieved from an unjust
and uncalIed for rate of, taxation,
the, quickest and surest way is to
elect new set of men and make
those who have run this county for
years, take back seat. If you do
not do so.the time is not far distant
when you will wish you had. Read
ers, we present to you a ticket this
year, composed of men, which if
elected, will do honor to the county
and will serve the whole people and
no particular party, and that eco
nomically too. We cannot refer to
each and every candidate on our
ticket, as We have not the space, but
every man on it is deserving of an
election. We say then, go to work,
and work diligently until six p. m..
on Tuesday, the 10th of October.
Take this paper to your neighbor-
and show him what taxes he is pay
ing, and show him the difference
between taxesin this and some of
the strong Republican Counties. r.

WHAT DEvIN DID FOR HOLMES.

q. We clip the following from the
J Holmes County Farmer of March
9th 1871, which speaks volumes in
favor of J. c. Devin, our candidate
for Senator, against II. d. Mcdowell.
Voters of Holmes, will you not use
your votes and influence to elect a
man who has been instrumental in
saving the tax payers of our county
many thousands of dollars, The
Farmer after Speaking of several
persons who aided in this matter
concludes as follows: ll u!ai a.
For our success in this matter. we were
largely Indebted to Mr.. Liey, of Medina
County, and member of the Board
from tho Lorain and Medina District.
Also to J. c. Deyin, Esq, of Mt. Vernon.
And to number of others. Under the
bill passed by the Legislature II per
cent. was taken off all the real estate of
the State. These reductions leave the
real estate of Holmes County per cent.
less than returned by the township as
SCISSORS, and the average valuation per
acre s2O.14. The deduction of per cent.
will save the tax payers of Holmes
County many thousands of dollars du-
ruring the coming ten years.

But the great question is, will it

that coal roads pay good, per cent

Road pays 25 per cent, with only
Cleveland for lake market and la
boring under all the disadvantages
of having but. that single point.
Our road will have both Cleveland
and black River for lake ports, with
vastly more favorable arrangements
with railroad lines, and will of
course pay much better than the
Mahoning Road. The time has
passed for coal roads to be sold out
on the foreclosure of mortgages.
They are the best paying railroads
that are built and invariably yield
the stockholders rich retasn for
their Investments. a.

1T beginning to be believed that
no Ku-Klux bill can pass the present
Congress, authorizing the President
10 use the army, except on the call Of
the Governor of a State. The &C
cession of a strong Democratic vote
10 the FOrty-secOnd Congress,
coupled with the opposition Of many
moderate and usurpation-hsting Re
p~ublicans, will likely be sufficient to
scotch the mischief. But Grant d
Co. have attempted if, and viii fare
no better with the people than if sue
cessfuI in the villainOus act. There is
some life in the good old Constitution
vet; the legislative and judicial de
usrtments are not wholly subOrdi-
mated to the Executive, and the eOun-
try is not vet ready for the rule Of the
mIfputisn Cesar. The submission Of
the people to measures on the preten-
SEES of war necessity has reached its
limit, and partisan leaders who have
a future are not so blind as not to
see it. They begin to divide against
the dictator, and already have they
pronounced against his attempted
decapftation Of Sumner for disagree
ing with his policy and acting with
the true dignity and freedom which
belongs to the Senate and a represent
alive Of the people. The American
people are not ready for despOtism, to
which they begin to see the whole
scope, measures and spirit Of the
present administration tend. When
Grant, the soldier, "fought it out on
that line" he had millions at his
back. But when Grant the states
man, makes his dash for empire, he
viii find each man a Brutus, and at
the very mention Of the base design,
coupled with proof Of the ambitious
purpose, he already finds that enemies
multiply, and too late but swiftly will
read his coming doom. His Presi-
