SUPREME JUDGES. = The State
Convention found it necessary to
select the most able candidates for
judges Of the Supreme Court. 1t
is we'll known that the present Su-
preme Court Of Ohio needs recon
s%tructing, and the shortest way To
perform the work is to elect H. G.
WHITMAN and c. II. ScRIBNER, our
candidates for the positions-the
former for the long term and tho
latter for the short term. They arc
the finest lawyers in Ohio.

The call for the Democratic
County Convention, as the reader
observed, appeared in the last pa
per. Let the Democrats of each
township assemble between the
hours Of ard 8 on Saturday even
ing, Sept. 6, and choose the best
men in their respective townships as
delegates to the County Conven.
ton to be held on Monday, Sept. 8.
Let there be full delegations from
each township.

The Radicals never fail to talk
about l~essening the taxes and re-
trenchment before on election
Last fall they howled loud about
the reduction of the expenses of the
Government, promising that they
should be lessened if GRANT should
be elected. Instead of being de-
creased, the burdens of the people
were increased Immediately after
Congress convened. These Radi-
calls, now that another election is
pending, say that the salaries of
Congressman, which they increased
since the last election, must be re-
duced to the old figures; but not
one of them, however, demands the
reduction of GRANTS salary. 1t is
hoped that all honest men in Vim
ton county will vote against every
man brought out for office at the
next election. The Radicals all
went up together last fall; let them
all come down together this fall.

watching its own interests rs any
other class Of men, the Herald ed
itor to the contrary, notwithstand'
ng. Humbuging has become sec
ond nature to the Radical party.
They think a certain amount is
necessary to give politics a tangible
shape. If humbuggery gets into
the farmers camp, it will be snug
glcd there by some foul bird from
the Radical flock.
The farmers move is not q secret
speculation to get some rascal into
Office or another one out, but is
based in the wants of an agricultu-
raj people, who have no friends to
serve mol enemies to punish in apo
litical point of view.
Mutual hopes ana u common IN
terest with sound political instinct
and what humbuggery they have
learned from the Republican party
will carry them through without
the help fthe Cleveland editor.
Tho Tiharol NOVA in 10 took
the honest politicians from the Rad
icsl party. The farmers move in
'73 will take the same element or
honest men of the laboring class,
while the disconsolate balance may
gaze at each other for u season,
and then die of their own hideous
ness.

sGovERNoR,-For the first time
the people Of Vinton county will
have the pleasure Of voting for .
farmer for Governor of our State
Hon. WILLIAM ALLEN, of Ross
county, one who is known through
out the land. Why the mere Sc
lection of this noble man by the
late State Convention was so full
Of meaning and so unequivocal in
its significance, as almost to dis
pense with the necessity of any
formal platform--the candidate
himself being a far better platform
than any that could be formed on
paper. This was never more truly
the Ease than in the expressive
nomination for Governor made by
that convention. Who does not
feel proud over the selection Of this
eminent man as q candidate for
the high position? No man in the
State so completely understands
the needs of the farmers and the
working men, as we'll as the inter,
ests of all classes, Since retiring
from public life, almost twenty-five
years ago, he has led the life Of
a cultured farmer anda student.
Should he be elected Governor,
he would exercise his influence to
prevent all useless legislation, and
would exert such o power for the
general good in the executive posi-
ton as has never yet been therein.
Let the farmers, laborers, me-
chanics, merchants and everybody,
cast their votes for WILLIAM ALLEN
for Governor Of on Tuesday,
October 18th, because all, in voting
for him, will be paying a justly de-
served compliment to a good and
pure mana man who has spent
years in the study of the philoso-
ply Of government.

man with your votes you will also

The Biggest Steal of All.

1t has now been discovered that
a ring formed by the leading direc-
tors of the Central Pacific Railroad,
calling themselves the Contract
and Finance Company" let con-
tracts to themselves for building Of
the road at such orbitant rates, and
then sub-let the work to bona-fde
contractors at such low rates, that
in the operation they swindled the
U, S. Government out of over two
hundred and eleven million dollars
More than ten times as much as the
Credit Mobiliers stole. OF this
amount, vast sums were expended
to secure favorable legislation by
Republican Congresses.
