Come to Time Isaac,

We would respectfully inquire OF
the good man of the Register if he
charges the County for Assessors
Blanks din CROSSE" If not, as they
cost about double what they can be
printed elsewhere, we suppose he
charges by "routine." We would also
ask a little light on another natter
How is it Isaac, that You print the
same matter for the Agricultural So
ciety NOW for LESS THAN HALF the
price you charged when you thought
you had them as you have the county
printing? In short, while you are ex-
planning things, give your readers a
general explanation of YOUR mode of
taxing the county Treasury-whether
Gin gross" or by "routine," and if not,
why not?

The Camden MeeEino.

The Democratic and Liberal Repub1i-
can meeting at Camden on Saturday
night last, was q splendid success, and
shows that the voters of Somers town
ship are alive to their interests and the
prosperity of the country. The Camden
Brass Band discoursed some splendid
music to assemble the people-our young
and active democratic friend, il. l.. Rob-
bins, had his residence on h corner,
in front OF which the speaking was held,
beautifully illuminated, and from each
window luttered a flag; Cap. Wilson,
on the opposite side, had his establish
ment decorated with Chinese lanterns
all burning brilliantly, which gave life
and animation to the affair. Charles
Guild, Esq, was made Chairman, and
introduced Judge Winans, who made a
most excellent and effective speech, and
was listened to with marked attention by
the audience. We heard it spoken of
by many of the Grant men as being the
best and most gentlemanly speech they
had heard this campaign, and we are
satisfied ii done good. Judge Winans'
course of leaving abuse for his two per
cent a month opponent, is making him
h osts of friends in this county. j.. G.
McNutt, Esq, discharged a few grape"
at the condition OF our county affairs
iu1der the control of the "Ring," and
then Judge Gilmore closed the meeting
n one OF his happiest and best speeches.
In connection with this notice of the
meeting, we feel like rendering the
thanks Of all interested, to Mr.. FoIkerth,
the commander of the Grant Club of
Camden, for a postponement of their
parade Which was to cone off on that
evening. If such a gentlemanly spirit
would control all the commanders of
Clubs, how much pleasanter it would
be, But it don't.

The Great Carpaign Work.

We have received from those wide
awake publishers, Messrs. E. Hannaford
81 Co., 177 West Fourth sire ct, Cincin-
natl, a copy of their great "Campaign
| Chart for 1872" 1t is brimful of very
valuable information, showing at a
glance, not only the political, but also
the economic history of the country for
the past fifty years.
In addition to the statistics, ETC., of a
political character, which is exceedingly
full and complete, this multum in parvo
contains a tabular exhibit Of the popula-
ton of the u. S., by States, at each cen
sus, from 1870 to 1870; the comparative
rank of the several States at each census
"a most interesting and instructive fea-
ture; the leading productions Of agri-
culture in each State and Territory, from
the last census, giving the amount of
over twenty of the principal products in
each State, together with much other
interesting agricultural statistics, &C
cording to the census returns of 1870, to-
gether with other important matter. a
large portion of the agricultural statis-
tics have never before been published
From the foregoing items, twill be seen
that the chart, besides serving a hundred
useful purposes during the campaign, is
permanently valuable. The Chart is
handsomely printed, colored, and var
nished, and mounted, maplike on rollers.
1t is a real ornament to any room or Of
flee, and ought to sell fast everywhere.
1t is sold through agents. and publish

mo Temrarance church,"

The "Routine'' editor of the Regis
ter says the Methodist Church is not
a "PRCFEssEDLY" temperance Church.
1t looks a little strange for an outsider
defending the holy Church from the
assaults of one of its sanctitied mem
bers! OF course it is not "professed-
ly" but in FACT temperance organ
ization of the most Radical and eX-
IRENE character. The following reSo-
luton, passed at their Conference, is
proof that cold fee bills i'll gross" is
undertaking to traduce the reputation
of his Church for political purposes.
AS Nj. johnson was a member of Con-
ference, VIC would like to know if he
voted for this resolution:
8. RESOLVED, That every owner of
real estate who rents or leases his prop
erty knowingly in the interests of the
liquor traffic, and EVERY Rso who
SELLS GRAIN to the distiller for the
manufacture Of liquor. is guilty before
GOD, and is PARTICLES CRIMINIs with
the vender and maker.

The two per cent a month candidate
for Congress, Gunckel, who is run
ming this election on money belonging
to the Soldiers Home, said in his talk
at Camden that he never knew a
"horse thief that was not a Democrat"
Of course he is a liar, but did he ever
know anybody but a Radical that
would rob the poor decrepid soldier,
and with his plumber undertake to
buy himself into position against the
will OF the people?

The ''fce bill in gross" fossil of the
Register says, that from personal
knowledge" he can assure the people
of Preble county that the overcharges
i'll the Clerks Office as existing under
Mr.. Morrow, extend back to the term
of Major Cunningham. A PERSONAL
KNOWLEDGE is that obtained not thro'
others, but by an actual examination
of the facts by ones own self. 1t is
therefor a natural and fair conclusion
from the language of Isaac "Rontine,'
that HE HAS made a personal examina-
ton of the Records of the Clerks Of
fee, running through a period of over
twenty one years! To do such a work
intelligently would require the labor
of at least five or six months. Now
then, has the "Routine" editor done
this? If not, he is simply guilty of
telling his readers a falsehood-but
that's nothing. Isaac is accustomed
to that sort of thing, and it comes nat
ural, you know. If he HAS made such
an examination, and undertakes to
compare the FEEs,of a Clerk under the
Code, with the administration and
fees of a Clerk under the CoMMoN LAW
PRACTICE, he has simply confessed to
the people generally, what the major
ity have known fer some time, viz
that he is an ass, and a very dumb ass
at that. The act regulating fees OF
Clerks of Courts of Common Pleas,
and by which MI. Morrow was to be
governed, was passed and took effect
April ID, 1865, (see Swan & Sayler,
page $780, TWENTY. YEARS after Gun
ningham's term OF office, and even af-
ter he had died, and while Hiram
Shank was performing the functions
of the Clerks ofiee-in other words
only five years before the election OF
Morrow! Thus you see, Isaac, that
you have "r; utined" too muchly. But
again,-under the Common Law prac-
tice, it was invariably the custom OF
the Clerks of Courts to make copies
of all pleadings and other papers APP
pertaining to cases, which copies were
furnished to the Attorneys engaged
and the original papers were Away:
on file in the office of the Clerk. Fol
these copies the Clerk was allowed
fees to be taxed with the other costs
in the case. The difference between
Morrow and the old Clerks, was just
this-they made the copies and were
entitled to their fees, while he charged
the fees but fails to make the copies
We refer Mr.. "fee bill in gross" an6
his terribly explained friend Morrow
to some other dead man to cover W
his little inaccuracies"

When the routine" editor of the
Register says we have always opposed
and abused the Methodist Church, his
ideas must have been so completely
~engrossed by the pursuing of sanctifi-
cation as to lead him estray. About
election time Isaac's ideas are always
''nebulous,' and he is unable to dis
tinguish truth from falsehood-in fact,
we notice as Isaac grows older, that
he becomes unreliable, and there is an
odor pervading his presence like unto
that of a toad stool freshly broken
from the tree-in short, Isaac is be-
coming slightly "FUNKY." We would
suggest to the ring" that they procure
a galvanized corpse to II the county
printing, while he passes through the
sanctification period.

The Register "routiner" knows that
Grant is honest-his Cabinet and all
his Office holders are honest-his
friends in Senate and House are hon
est-all the countyTofficers are honest
tho Treasurer of Clark county is
homeland nobody but a Democrat
can, by any possibility, be dishonest!
1t is even believed by some of Isaacs'
friends, that he occasionally, when
under the influence of sanctification,
believes himself to be honest. The
book-keeper on high is not a "routin-
er," Isaac.

"Fee bills i'll gross" of the Register,
says if it be shown to his satisfaction
that the Clerk has Intentionally wrong

Let the voters of this county remem-
Der that Mr.. Townsend, our candidate
for Sheriff. and Mr.. Quinn, our candi-
date for Clerk, entertain the same
views upon the temperance question
to-day that they did previous to their
being candidates for these Offices
They are not extremists nine months
in the year-subscribing money to az
rest and prosecute their neighbors
who take o glass of beer-and the other
three gioing hand in hand with the
business because the votes of these
fellows are needed to help them into
fat offices. MI. Townsend and Quinn
are temperate men, but don't play the
hypocrite when they want the votes
of these men, nor the tyrant when
they don't want them.

Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel

The disgusting inconsistency and
damnable hypocrisy of the editor of
the county printing, vas never more
glaringly exhibited than in the last
issue of his paper. He has howled
and yelped like a cur with a tin pan
to its tail, for about nine months of
every year he has conducted the Reg
lister, on the temperance question-he
has explored the Dictionary for long
words with which to abuse all men
who sold or drank liquor-he has de-
manded the enforcement of the liquor
law, and cried out for prohibitory
laws, as well as for a thorough and
formidable organization of the tenn
perance army, and what now? Some,
Eve know not o care not how ma
n.y. of the REAL, GENUINE temperance
men, acting IN principles, a thing
unknown to Isaac, have placed in the
field a temperance ticket, not only for
County, but for State and National
purposes. On these tickets both Dem
ocrats, Liberal Republican and Grant
worshippers are found as candidates.
Now, we oppose all this thing, just as
we opposed the introduction of
Church bigotry into politics, because
we honestly believe no good can come
OF such movements. But the Register
man, (or rather an indistinct likeness
of a man,)a violent upholder and ell
courager of just this thing BEFORE
election time, the very moment he
hears the crack of the party lash, puts
his tail between his legs and whines
for the caresses of the holders of the
public purse. He devotes a lengthy
article to the temperance ticket, and
claims it is rus of the enemy to steal
votes from his master, Grant. For
u part, we say to every Liberal and
Democrat, VOTE YOUR OWN TICKET.-
Every man, from our candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency,
down TO the smallest county Office, is
good, honest and competent, and de-
serves, aud we believe viii receive
YOU hearty support. The "routine"
man of the Radical organ, with his
usual consistency and honesty, can
abuse the temperance candidates to
his hearts content, and they certainly
deserve it for ever having been found
in his company.

his honesty to have such sneaks as

by adding burglary and theft to it.
