The people of EIdorado and vicinity,
are anxiousiy awaiting the advent of
Burly Freeman to enlighten them with
another TRADE of Grant scryility. Bra-
vo! Our reporter is ready.
At West Alexandria, the Liberals and
Democrats had a meeting on Thursday
night of last week. The Greeley Club
of Eaton paraded and made Il splendid
appearance. The meeting was address
ed by Judges Gilmore and Haines. On
the same evening the GRANTEES attempt
ed to get up a rally and to procure an
audience. Their Club consisted mostly
of boys out in full costume, headed by
the Eaton Cornet Band, and the occasion
was intensified by the presence of Nancy
Freeman, Col. Harris, james Sayler and
the Gauger, but with all this parade it
was no go Their audience was so small
that Sayler declined speaking and the
few present were soon dispersed by the
servile panegyrics of Freeman and Har-
ris-the Gauger obtained no hearing
The meeting of the Democrats and Lib
erals opposite Davis corner was large
and enthusiastic, and listened attentive
ly to Judges Gilmore and Haines and
dispersed at a late hour with three cheers
for Greeley and Brown. So rolls the
ball in old Twin and Lanier.
The Clerk proposes to refund the over
taxed costs, but says nothing about
TREBL the amount imposed by the stat
ute. Let it be demanded.
On Saturday evening last Zoos and
Campbell were posted for speeches at
Lewisburg for Greeley, Brown and Re-
form; and l.. B. Gunckel for himself,
Grant and money Rings in particular,
but a negro show broke the whole thing
up No hearing could possibly be OBJ
tanned, except in a lively conversation
on the street with the great grand ON of
Thomas Paine, who like the immortal
j. N, under full pressure and ready for
incarceration for his master Grant next
as he said, if not superior, to the Nc
siah! He must have been at Conference
and learned of Parson Moody.
Police officers are in demand at the NJ.
E. Church, and when Rev. Hiram john
son is elected Sheriff, doubtless a squad
of the sanctifed will be detailed from
headquarters to keep order, in imitation
of Gen. Grant and his orderlies at the
White House, for toadyism is = catching
disease with all hunkies. We speak for
Il position in advance for the Gauger i'll
that Gun Squad.
The Sheriff has issued his proclama-
ton to the faithful, through the organ
of county jobs, to come and vote for the
"Ring' ticket. We issue OURS to the
honest voters to come OH the I'd Tuesday
of October and defeat it.
Tie "Ring'' have called for John Sher-
man to come and help them nj of their
troubles. Two weeks z some of them
were denouncing him because they said
he had sneaked away to keep from show
ing his hand!

he is the choice of a "Ring," and 9
very dangerous one at that. We OBJ.

lister purposes.

Democratic Officers.

The Ftroutine" editor of the Regis
ter seems to be worked almost into
spasms at the idea that, if MI. Quinn
should be elected to the Office of Clerk
of this county, a thieving Democrat
might possibly take charge and run
the Office, and thereby hangs q "raw
head and bloody bones" which he
holds up and shakes at the outraged
and robbed taxpayers of this county to
brighten them into the support of the
"routine" frauds that have been per-
petrated upon them for years by the
"RING" of this county, and the candi-
dates they carve out for them to vote
for. We are not aware that Mr.. Quinn
or Mr.. Townsend, have either of them
made any pledges as to who will
run the offices should they be elected,
consequently this "scare crow" of "fee
bills in gross" amounts to nothing,
but only serves to show to the people
how hard pressed he is for an excuse
to bolster up a man who admits he
has defrauded his constituents. But
suppose that it was even true hat a
Democrat would run the office, a ma
jority of the voters of this county do
not think like Isaac Morris, that to be
n Democrat, is necessarily TO be dis
honest and a thief. The citizens OF
this county have trusted them with
important offices heretofore, and we
never heard any complaint of corrup-
ton. Isaac Stephens, Esq, was a
Democrat, and served as Recorder,
and nobody ever heard him charged
with taking illegal fees. James Samp-
son was a Democrat-he was twice
elected Sheriff of this county, and was
never compelled to disgorge any over
charges. Judge Gilmore a Democrat,
served as Prosecuting Attorney, and
was never charged with brow-beating
a Grand Jury out of indicting a broth
er officer fol malfeasance. Judge
Campbell a Democrat, served two
terms as Probate Judge of this coun-
ty, and he was never charged with ex-
torting illegal fees. John Z. Deem a
Democrat, has held the Township
Treasury for several years, and has
never absconded with the funds or
misapplied them. J. H. Zoos, Esq,
and Michael Ryan, both Democrats,
the former as Mayor and the latter as
Marshal, have been twice elected, and
yet there have been no charges of dis
honesty and corruption, but on the
contrary have given universal salts
faction. just as all the Democrats have
done that have been trusted with
offices i'll this county. So you see,
Mr.. ''little inaccuracies" your effort
to alarm the people of this county
against trusting Democrats in office,
is rather thin and will effect nothing
but disgust for your nonsense

A Word to Voters.


Democrats and Liberal Republicans
of Preble county! there remains but
two weeks to the first election. The
great battle is raging f~iercely every
where over the State. The enemy is
frantic, vehement, desperate! No eff
forts are being spared, no machina-
lions however foul, INSCRIPTIONS and
corrupt, are lett unemployed, for the
purpose of defeating the honest ver-
dict of the people at the polls. What
have you been doing in your locali-
ties to arrest the great torrent of in
EQUITY? First of importance is tho
rough organization. Have you a Club
organized i'll each School District? If
not-go TO work ut once, and organize
a Greeley and Brown Club in each
township, school district and Village
in the county. The time is short, and
we have the best of from
oil parts of the State that all that is
necessary to carry Ohio is to organize
thoroughly so that every vote will be
polled, and there is not a particle of
doubt of the result. Each school dis
who will prepare a list of voters, and
make arrangements to get every Dem
ocrat and Liberal Republican to the
election, which is the most important
business of the canvass, and must not
be neglected. Democrats will have
to attend to it, as a duty they owe
themselves and their country. Radi-
Gals are using the money the Rings
carry Oh their canvass, and are max
ing desperate efforts to keep their
places where they can conceal their
robberies and continue to plumber the
public. AS it is in your OWL county,
so it is all over the country. A long
lease of power will corrupt any party.
Look at the desperation of the Radi-
cal organ in Preble county. After it
has been proven by the records of the
ofice-after the admission of the in
cumbent himself that he has violated
the most solemn obligations of his
trust-this paper asks you, nay insists,
that you shall, by your vote and sup
port, endorse and continue these frauds
and populations, simply because party
feality demands It'll Will you do it
Let your votes on the second Tuesday
of October answer in tones of thun'
der-NOt THE RING MUST AMI
SHALL BE BROKENl

$40 w

We will pay the above sum for the re-
turn of the Book containing the "rou-
tine" cases over-taxed by the Clerk, and
which was stolen from our office two
weeks ago, by some sneak-thief deeply
interested in Mr.. Morrow's business
We understand that some of the "stump-
ers'' are stating that the cases we pub
lished were all that were found with
over-charges. The book contained over
ONE HUNDRED cases, and the illegal fees
collected therefrom amounted to more
than $500! Messrs. Hubbard and Free
man copied most of the cases from the
book, and know what we state is correct.
Freeman observed, "By G. it was more
than he thought it was and that the Re
publican party would not jeopardize the
success of the balance of the ticket by
undertaking to carry such a load!' But
the ''Ring'' demanded it, and the expe-
riment is being tried.

The Card Of B. F. Larsh, Esq.

We this week reproduce from the
last issue of the REGISTER, the Card of
B. f. Larsh, Esq, in which is given a
true statement of MI. Morrow's "rou-
tine" discrepancies in the Clerks Of
flee. Mr.. Larsh is known to the peo-
pie of this county as an honest man,
and a Republican, and that his state
ments with regard to this matter are
true, no man can deny. And yet, the
''little discrepancy" editor of the coun-
ty printing, takes up a half column of
his valuable sheet, not i'll an attempt
to answer n single charge against his
peculiar pet Morrow, but with Il ramb-
ling, idiotic attempt to suggest that
Mr.. Larsh is an interested party-that
he has wandered from the great party
of Grant, and is perhaps to be the De-
putty of Mr.. Quinn if he is elected
He still insists that other Officers have
charged illegal fees, and therefore
Morrow is to be excused. An argu-
ment of that kind is the horse thiefs
argument, nothing more or less. But
the assertion of the gentle hypocrite
of the Register, that other Clerks have
done the same thing, is the best evil
dence in the world hat an entire
change and thorough publication of
the County offices is absolutely eces
sary. In fact a GENERAL OVERHAUL
ING. OF THE FAIR OF ALL THE
COUNTY OFFICES would probably open
the eyes of all our people not in part
nership with the "Ring." Suppose,
most pious, i~ncorruptible and tempe
rate Isaac, you demand this general
investigation?
Mr.. Larsh asks the very pious and
christian "routiner,' if he wants the
public to know how, and by what
means, good men in this county were
defeated for offices and inferior ones
nominated-how it was Gunckel was
nominated? But this paragon of
h~onesty-this model individual, whose
honor is SO o~utrageously shocked at
Butler county democrats, pays NJ at
tention to these questions, Oh no, his
mouth is sealed on this matter the
same as on the temperance. Mr.. Larsh
says these will be made public, and
we hope 80.

The statement of Morris that Judge
Winans is now, and has been for a
long time, an Incorporate man, and
that this fact was known to members
of this Bar, both in Butler and Preble,
is a lie. NJ. F. Stephens, Esq, a Re-
publican who never scratched a tick
ct, and who has known Judge Winans
longer perhaps than any man in this
county, can set Isaac right on this
score, if he has honor enough in him
to do an opponent justice.

The "routiner" of the Register says
that if it be shown to his satisfaction
that the Clerk has Intentionally wrong
ed one man out of m cent, he will
not only not vote for him but will use
his influence against him. If the safe.
blower, Dave Bard, received the Rad
ical nomination, you would advocate
his election and vote for him in pref
erence to a Democrat, and argue that
blowing open the safe was done gin

was a s.routine error ]"

Some persons find fault with us for
not publishing this, and some for pub
fishing that, all imagining no doubt,
that they could conduct the paper
much more efficiently than we do

over HIS OWN name. Pitch in, gentle
man, and ventilate everything you
think for the public good or that the
people ought tor know.

Isaac in n place says that if Quinn
is elected, some infamous Democrat
will be Deputy /; in another article he
intimates that Esq. Larsh may fill that
position. The poor devil is in a des-
perate frame of mind, and tells one
lie only to contradict it by another
Isaac is not thoroughly ssnctified, but
after the election, when he returns to
his favorite theme of prohibition and
denouncing saloon-keepers as worse
than 1'forgrrs," "horse-thieves," and
''murderers," we look for his rapid
growth in grace.
