SPEECH OF SENATOR JAMES O'BRIEN.
What He Will DO II Elected Mayor
All the Heads Of Departments To BE


Removed.
At the meeting OF the Excelsior James O'Brien
Club Of the Eighteenth ward, last evening, at
Constitution Hail. corner OF Third avenue and
Twenty-second street. Senator James o'Brien ex-
pressed his views to a large gathering of his
admirers He prophesied that II he was elected
Mayor he would, judging from present appearances,
receive $4,000 majority. He did not look for the
votes Of the rich but sure of the votes OF the
workingmen and adopted citizens OF New York. He
said that he had stood by Tammany as long as they
were honest. but when they robbed the people he
helped to hurl them from their power like char
before the wind. He would not accept the posi-
tion OF Mayor unless he could remove ali the
heads OF departments, and 1t would be on these
grounds only that he would take 1t. He had
programme to throw them all out and with the
assistance OF his friends he would assuredly win
the coming battle. He would fight for the power
and when he got 1t he would hold il. He
also reviewed the acts of several OF the
heads OF departments, particularly in relation to
the reduction of the wages of the workngmen. In
relation to the course he would pursue regarding
his support OF the Presidential candidates he said
he would when the time comes let the people know
whether he was for Greeley Grant. During his
speech he was frequently Interrupted by applause,
and when he had finished the applause was deafen.

Mr.. Johnson did not fail to compliment the lades,

GOVERNOR M'MULLIN,
OF washington Territory, brought his stove pipe lat

MAYNARD's SPEECH.
Mr. Maynard was In about as good condition as

their characters and public services, and sapthese
pitiful charges were evidences there were nigrave

A Word Of Cheer.

To our friends all over the county
we say, with glad feelings that the
political sky is bright. Here u
our work has been thorough and will
tell. From all parts of the county we
have cheering news. The people,
tired of corruption in high places and
in low, sick of military despotism-
opposed to a centralized government
and anxious for peace, and a cordial
reunion of all the States-determined
upon a publication of the public af-
fairs, are rising in the majesty of their
strength, and on Tuesday next will
deliver a blow at ~rascality and official
m~alfeasance, that will be felt all over
the land. Let Preble county, always
among the foremost in good works,
on that day make a record of which
her sons will ever be proud.

To thu VOTERS of PrahlaI

We have certain information that the
two per cent a month candidate for Con-
gress, is, during this week, to bring into
this county additional money from the
Soldiers Home. In Eaton our friends
are thoroughly posted, and every move
ment of the money bags will be closely
watched. The United States Grand Jul
ry, which meets on Tuesday next, will
have under consideration the case of at
least one Granite from this county, for
purchasing votes two years ago, and we
propose to SO hedge these rascals about,
that their fraudulent efforts to defeat the
will of the people, shall be met with the
penalty of the law. Their efforts to in
fuence votes by means of money, will
not be confined to this Township, and
our friends are advised to be vigilant
and firm. Vote early, and give the bal
ance Of the day to watching the corners.
See that no negroes have been imported
into your township-challenge every
man whose right to vote is doubtful
this is your right and your duty-and
when you know a man is attempting to
cost a fraudulent vote knowingly, arrest
him on the spot. Justice demands this,
and the law of your country will pro-
tect you VOTE EARLY.

The SheriHalitv.

On next Tuesday the voters of this
county will be called upon to elect a
Sheriff. This is an office of much re-
sponsibility, and consequently the Sc
lection should be made on the grounds
of qualification and merit. Whenever
this IFS has been pursued by the
electors, a good Sheriff has invariably
been chosen. There are two promi-
nent candidates before the people, and
but little has been urged against either
of them. John Townsend, of Cam
den, is the Liberal Democratic candi-
date on the side of the people ; and
Rev. Hiram johnson, of Eaton, is the
Radical candidate, on the side of the
Radical party for the office. They are
both men of sobriety and integrity, so
far as we have learned. Capt. Ed
ward Cottingham is also an Indepen-
dent Republican candidate for the
same Office. He is also a man of good
habits and deserves well of his coun-
try, as a Union soldier, who under
went many hardships during the war.
AS between Townsend and johnson
there is this difference One is pre-
eminently qualified for the office as a
competent business man; and the
other is not SO well qualified, either
by education or habits of business in
line with the office. MI. Townsend
runs as an Independent candidate,
outside OF the Court House Ring and
Mr.. johnson presents himself as the
representative of a party manipulated
and controlled by this infamous Ring
revolving around and about the Court
House, and which has plundered tco
much already. Well grounded fears
are entertained that if Mr. johnson is
elected, he will rather consider him
self to be the Sheriff of the Court
House Ring than of the people of the |
county but Mr. Townsend is clearly
an outsider, and if elected, will come
into the Office untrammelIed. He is
no fanatic, either on temperance or in
religion, but is a moral and temperate
man in all things. He neither blows |
hot MOI could on the temperance ques-
ton, about the time of elections, as
many schemers do, but is one and the
same thing all the time. He makes
no parade in religion to draw into his
support Church members, but presents
a uniform moral department, and car
ries with him the confidence of his |
IF elected he will make a
canital Sheriff
Eaton weekly Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1866-1875, 1872-10-03

The very reverend Hiram johnson,
and the most honest man in Preble
county, the great mistake maker, are
rushing about frantically, denying
that either of them ever advocated
temperance-they never made tempe
n speeches-they never favored
the prosecution of liquor sellers and
drinkers-no, no, the gentle lambs
we + always bitterly opposed to the
prosecution of liquor men-Johnson
never attended a public meeting in
Eaton and never subscribed a cent to-
ward prosecution! Oh no, of course
he didn't. Hiram never thought of
such a cruel thing! Hiram is too
good a man, too good a christian to
prosecute anybody-and Delofama,
did he not show his love and affection
for the liquor seller by voting steadi-
ly in the Lodge against any interior
ence with the liquor traffic. Ofcourse
he did, he told Mart. Randall so, and
that he didn't subscribe cent for
prosecution and was opposed to the
whole thing-so did Hiram-and De-
Iorama and Hiram would not tell a
lie for a vote! OF course not, that
would be very naughty in the cody
Hiram and honest Delorama-and did
not Delorama go round among the Sa-
| looms, and treat his friends, and play
at the innocent and healthful game of
ten pins, and drink powerful lemon
AIDES and make other great sacrifices
| out of his abundant love for the liquor
sellers-of course he did-and now
how ungrateful these wicked liquor
men. are to even think of going back
on two such eminent friends as Hiram
and Delorama. 1t is sad!

LOCAL DEPARTMENT.
Our County Fair,
Oct. 8, 1879.

The Preble County Agricultural
Fair, which came off last week, was,
except in one or two points, about as
successful an exhibition as any that
has preceded it. The weather during
the exhibition was splendid and the
turn out on Thursday and Friday was
immense, and everybody seemed to
be pleased with the show. We had
intended making an extended notice
and particularizing somewhat, but a
press of other matters prevents us
from doing so. The exhibition in the
stock department was really the best
shat has been for several years, and we
are glad to notice that the farmers are
taking more pride and interest in this
Important business, and we may soon
look for Preble to compare with But
Ter and Warren county. The display
of poultry was quite large and credi-
table. Almost every class of the do
mestic fowl was represented. Floral
Hall wa not so well represented as
usual-veg etables and grains were
simmer than heretofore-fruit was
very light-the agricultural and me-
chanical department was somewhat
acknowledgements Hall had about
its usual variety of crochet work, pat
terms, stitched covers, mats, tidy
cushions, &C., SC.
The races all came off in order and
good style, and give general s~atisfac-
ton SO far as we could learn. Upon
the whole it was as good a Fair as
ever we had, and the Officers deserve
praise for their success.
The Premium List is made out but
cannot be published until passed upon
by the Board, which will be done at
their meeting on Saturday next. The
receits amounted to about $25OO,0O.
An election for President, Vice Pre-
sident and four Managers, was held
at the Secretary's Office on the last
day of the Fair, and the following
excellent men were elected to serve
President, John Ne. Doughterty Vice
President, George Deem Managers,
j. L. Chambers, John A. Kaylor, w.
G. Randall and John M. Hendrix.
About 800 votes were polIed.

Mr. Morrow and his Troubles.

No one in this community regrets
the difficulties of Mr.. Morrow more
than we do. No mi regrets to see q
fellow man get into trouble more than
we do, and we would be the last one
to add a single drop to his woes, but
in the discharge of what we consider
ed our duty or privilege as the pub
Usher of a newspaper, we have doubt
less said that which was not pleasant
to some men, but we never have ma
liciously, or for the mere purpose of
finding fault, objected or made charg-
es against any official, O personal
attacks upon any man. The official
conduct of every officer is proper sub
ject for criticism, and when we gave
rumors of misconduct OF errors in any
officer, it was not because we had any
antipathy against him as a man, but
to warn the people to be on the look
out. We have heard many rumors of
fraud and incompetency on the part
of County officers, and so reported
them heretofore, but in too many in
stances, as in Mr.. Morrow's case, the
public mind has been set at rest by
the partisan cry Of "a Democratic
Lie" or personal abuse from the chris
tan editor of the Eaton REGISTER, and
the majority of the people have &C
cepted the apology, insufficient as it
was for thoughtful men, and paid no
farther attention to the matter. But
we believe it is bubbling up too high
to be smothered this time. We think
the time has fully arrived when there
should be "a new deal" for the benefit
of the public-if the people agree with
US, the remedy is in their own hands ;
if they do not, the responsibility must
rest with them. Our County Officers
have been for years going round in a
certain "Ring." That IS A FACT
that no one observant OF public affairs
will gaihsay or disbelieve, however
much it may be desired by those in
terested in the succession to official
position, and the people ought in JUS
tice to themselves, smash "old states"
and commence a "'new deal" These
are our views, and we submit them
for what they are worth, not as a pa;-
tisan,: but as a candid man, who de-
sires the public good above all PARTY
or personal considerations.
