OUR CANDIDATES.

Republican and salary grab candidate
for Senator, and Dir. j. d. KEMP, o
the same city, is the Independent
Democratic nominee for the same pc
sition, and as the people will soon be
called upon to choose or make theiI
selection between these and other can
didates in this county, q brief review
of the men seems to be eminent!
nroper for the consideration of the
voters.
Mr.. Corwin is a young man of very
questionable moral character, and is
no doubt pledged to the support oil
Schenck or Delano for the United
States Senate. He was introduced
here on the day of Howe's circus, by
Col, Rob't. Williams, the Revenue
Collector, as the Ring candidate for
Senator, but made a poor impression
with the yeomanry of Preble county.
He is the Ring-masters candidate for
Senator, with no moral worth as a maj
to recommend him to the suffrage of
the people, a mere tool and representa-
tive of the Whisky Ring at Dayton.
He has no sympathy with the toiling
and laboring millions, for from his
stand point in life, he only looks up
on them as fit subjects for pillage
and taxation.
On the other hand DR.. Kemp is a
modest and an unassuming man: of
good habits, and comes from the mid
die classes in life. A self-made man
and a true representative ofindustrial
labor, he is presented as an independ-
ent candidate for Senator, and we o
licit for him the suffrage of the peo-
pie, unbacked by either whisky or
monied rings. He has represented
Montgomery county i'll the Legisla-
ture with credit to himself and to the
entire satisfaction of his constituency.
He is now in the field again, and the
voters will soon have to choose be-
tween him and the whisky ring can
didate, for Senator.
For Representative of Preble
ty, A. SILVER and G.. FL. Edison are
before the people. Mr.. Silver is the
candidate of the fag end of the old
Court House Clique, and it may be
truly said, that he is the last of Mohe-
gans! FIe was presented as a candi-
date by the old disintcregated Ring
Republican party, n few survivors of
whom convened at the Court House,
on the 9th of September, and brought
-. I'll ~. H. " Do
publican nominal. Oh. The announce
Iment of his name as a candidate for
representative fell still-born, even a
mong the Republicans themselves, for
as one of them remarked at the time,
.Mr. Silver would not have been
thought of for Representative, if the
remains of the great mastodon
had not been recently exhumed in
county," ssTrue," remarked an
the latter fossil brought forth
The former, and the Die has as much :
ife as the other-but let 'em ripw :
But to be candid, what is Mr.. Silver?
He is neither positively an affirmative /
a genuine negative, but rather a :
ross between, with bewildered nom |
He is a Justice of the 5
Peace and a Lawyer upon a very mar c
row scale, at Winchester, in this coun- '
y, and there is nothing in his ante c
to recommend him to the sup @
,ort of the people, except his very Il
views of men and bust t
Tess. He represented the county C
nee, but all the good he done vas L
himself, in drawing his per diem g
llowance from the State Treasury, c
or after he arrived at the Capital, t
he nor the county he propos- c
d to represent was ever heard from. L
lie made a still Representative, and Il
he only claim that can be made is his L
pehalf as public-spirited man is, 81
hat he is a Grand Templar and voted Il
Dr. the Adair Liquor Law. The coun- C;
? has had enough of such Represen-
It is humiliating to the citi- IL
and will continue so long as the N
send old fossils and one-idead is
to represent them. W

llents as lead to success. This is a. e
undantly proven in the management G.
f his own private affairs, for he that tt
.presents himself we'll in life, as a o
eneral rule, will properly represent e.
ne public. While Mr.. Edison, by jc
lose attention to business, has work IL
d himself up in life, he has not been
arrow or selfish in his views, but at
II times kept the welfare of the COM "
strictly under consideration,
uiIding houses and thereby affording
lbor and employment to mechanics
f all classes, and with all giving aid 9
nd comfort to all improvements cal "
ulated to develop the town and coun- .
in which he was born and lives
lie is a live man all over; a repre- y
entative of the laboring classes, and :,
) just the kind of a person the farm -
RS and mechanics want to represent =.
