FAY ETTE COUNTY HE1
Come ont to the polls


This is the last appeal we can make
to the voters of Fayette County be-
fore the State election, and let us now
urge upon the Republicans of the
county to come out to the polls on
Tuesday next, in solid phalanx, and
cast your votes for the Republican
candidates. You never can maintain
and perpetuate the principles for
which Republicans have so long, so
nobly and so successfully labored, by
going outside of your party to vote
for men who have opposed the princi-
Piles of the Republican party at every
election and at every point, and whose
only object now is manifested in their
declaration of anybody to beat
Grant" That is the only plank in
their platform. They propose no great
national principle to you. In the
days of jackson; Van Buren, Polk,
Pearce and Buchanan, they presented
to the people platform in which the
principles they proposed to carry out
were written and plainly understood
by everybody and with these princi-
plies, and this banner flying at their
mast head, they went into the canvass.
But in these degenerate days of the
once unterrifed Democracy, what
kind of banner do they present to
the world
They rear pole, upon the top of
which, as their banner. They place a
huge old white hat upon it, inscribed
''anybody to beat Grant," and then
they all march round it playing .'Sister
Phebe" That's all there is of the
Democratic Liberal Presidential, State
and County canvass for 1872. It's
really the biggest farce of this farcical
age.
Again, we appeal to our Republican
friends to be at the polls early, and
do your duty, your whole duty to
your country and to the noble prinGi-
pies that through your vigilance and
loyalty in years that have passed,
have achieved more for the rights
and liberties of the human race, and
a greater degree of National, State and
local prosperity than has ever been
achieved in any other twelve years Of
the existence of this Government
How are these glorious achieve
ments to be perpetuated ? Not ce,-
tainly by placing the power of Gov
ernment in the control of the men
and the political party that did all in
their power to defeat you and the
principles your votes have been in
strumental in establishing We ash
you to think calmly, and reflect sober
Ely upon these matters before you cas-
your vote. Act judiciously in tht
matter and we feel confident you viii
stick to the old ship that has carried
this Government safely through th,
most trying test that nation ha
ever been subjected to.
Rally, then, Republicans, rally one
again to the rescue of your dearl,
cherished principles.

Tbe German Millitarv ACADEMY,

= The German Military Academy,
composed of all tue officers of the
German army during the late war, has
elected General Grant, as well as Gen
eral Sherman and Lieutenant General
Sheridan, to its honorary membership.
The men who shed their blood for
their Fatherland, says the St. Louis
Democrat, are apt to be as fair judges of
neutrality in a foreign power as the
windy orator who only sheds his
speeches at 5000 a night in advance.
Won Moltke's opinion to say the least,
is worth as much as that of the Cen
eral for whom Sherman could find no
use except drowning.
= The usual hegira of roughs from
New York to Philadelphia, which oc-
ours every election, has commenced
The Greeleyites think they have man
aged the thing this time so that it
will not be known. Their plan is to
send repeaters on in small detach-
ments of about twenty on each train
(Which will account for their begin
nIng thus early, in order to get their
full number in by election day, avoid
ing, at the same time, any appearance
of rush. The precaution, it seems,
is unnecessary, as the entire arrange
ment is fully UNDERSTOOD Cleveland

MIC Polls,

Every Republican should be at the
polls early on Tuesday morning next
and vote the whole Republican ticket.
The ticket is good one, one that will
not suffer n comparison with the tick
ct of the opposition in any respect
There is no question that the cand-
zitlutes upon the Republican ticket
are perfectly competent to discharge
the duties of the several offices for
which they are candidates; and in
point of moral worth they stand as
high as any men of either political
party in the county, and whatever
charges of corrupt rings, or of steal
ing from the County Treasury, there
Democratic orators may falsely charge
upon the Republican party, and the
office holders elected by the party, no
one of the orators dare charge dis
honesty upon single one of the Re
publican candidates boldly 70 his face.
They may and we know they are
sneaking around eowardly, charging
that there is corrupt ring in Wash
| ington, that controls all the elections
in the county. We pronounce this
an eIectioneering falsehood. The
primary election system was adopted
for the selection of candidates for
the very purpose of giving to every
Republican voter in the county 8
chance to 60 to the elections and vote
for the man he wished to be the candi
date; it was to avoid nominations
by few men and to give every man s
chance to vote directly for his indi
viduaT choice. The present candi
dates of the Republican party wer'
nominated under this system. They
are emphatically the candidates of tn
people, and if the Republicans of tn
county do their duty, we have not
doubt they will be triumphant
ly elected. Let us all go to the polls
then, and vote the ticket, and the
} whole ticket We cannot do bette
: by voting for single candidate pre-
; sented on the other side.

Does Horace Greeley, at this pc
riod of his life, grow wiser, or other
wise? On the 18th of August, 1871,
he said in the Tribune-over his own
signature:
Should my views be overruled and
General Grant nominated, hold his
election Infinitely preferable to that of
any candidate whom the Democrats
may nominate, 70 a Democratic tri-
umph involves ! eturn to power of
the great mass of hose who for years
plotted the disruption of our Union,
and at length forced the Southern
States into secession and rebellion
contrary to the wishes and the Judge
ment of decided majority of their
people.
That is just how the people feel
about it now. They like his last years
opinion.

= There are 10000 Liberal Repub-
licans in Ohio. They are all ready to
vote the Liberal State ticket Demo-
Gratis, do your duty, and Ohio is re-
deemed.-TC Gin. Enquirer.
The idea is that if the 100000
Democrats with the aid of the 10000
Liberal Republicans, as the Enquirer
claims, will all vote the straight
Democratic State and County ticket,
the Democratic party, will be redeemed
and reinstated in power Is this
what Liberal Republicans are laboring
for? 1t seems to be the only use the
Democrats have for these Liberal Re
publicans. They have no other use
for them, than to help boost Demo
Gratis into office, for they never will
nominate Liberal Republican for an
Office where there is chance to elect
him.

- Here is another little paragraph
we desire to commend to the atten-
ton of the Commercial. The sagacious
editor of that great paper, you know,
claims that the result of Greeley's elec-
ton will be the death OF the Demo
cratic party. Here is what the New
York World thinks = Cin. Gazette.
In party view, we have much to
gain by the election of Mr.. Greeley
If Grant is re elected every Federal
officer will be Republican; if Gree
ley is elected a majority of the FEEDER
al officers will be Democrats. In
Grants Cabinet, Democrats can not
even get hearing; in Greeley's, they
will have a majority of the votes,
and will largely influence, if not vir
tually control, the policy of his ad-
ministration If Greeley is elected,
we shall elect with him majority of
the House of Representatives a ma
jority of the State Governors and Leg
islatnres, and the local and municipal
officers in the States that give him
their electoral votes. With such a
balance of advantages, a Democrat
must be idiotic or insane to be indif-
ferent between the election of Grant
and Greeley.

How many men in the United
States would have believed. it, if we
had said few months ago, that at
the Presidential election in November
next, the name of Horace Greeley
would be at the head of the Demo
cratic ticket for President of the Unit
ed States? Yet, in accordance with
the Democratic idea of anybody to
beat Grant, the man among the Re-
publican party they despised most was
Horace Greeley, and preposterous as
the idea may have seemed to Democrats
and Republicans he's the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. Was
there ever q more ludicTous farce enact
ed, than the nomination of Mr.. Gree
lev by the Baltimore Democratic Con
ventions. The idea was anybody t.
beat Grant But Mr.. Greeley ha.
said that Grant never has been beater
and never will be beaten, and SO i
will be recorded in November next
Any body to beat Grant, won't WIN.
