THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

For some time we have believed that
the Grange foolery, seized upon by such
demagogues as l. 7. Monahan, would re-
suit in serious and terrible calamities to
the country. The insane and wicked
war upon the railroad interests of the
country, can only result in evil. Every
demagogue, whether he be Democrat,
Prohibitionist- or Republican, has had
the word monopoly in his mouth for
months. The beginning of the end has
commenced. The great banking houses
of Jay Cooke & Co. failed last week
Then went the bank of Fisk d Hatch,
and general panic ensued, and now uni
versal financial ruin overspreads the en-
tire country. Jay Cooke & Co. under
took to build the great Northern Pacific
Railroad, and the war upon this, and
other roads, did the business
The Democratic party never could for
give Jay Cooke & Co. for furnishing the
money to put down the rebellion, and this
war upon them has been mostly parti-
san Spite.
The New York Tribune says:
"But nothing can wipe out the debt
the country owes the patriotic and mar
velously energetic bankers who in the
darkest hours of our civil war popular
lied the great loans, and furnished the
money to pay our soldiers nothing can
obscure the fact that the very enterprise
which has finally dragged them down
was of national concern. Whatever
may be the result of the crisis in Wall
Street, we shall regard the disaster to
Jay Cooke d Co. as nothing less than a
public calamity"
The United States Government has
been appealed to in order to see if aid
could be extended to save the business
of the country from ruin, but President
Grant and Secretary Richardson have
decided that they have no constitutional
power to interfere, further than to pur-
chase bonds.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.

1 am sorry that my good friend, Mrs.
Kirkendall, is always suspecting some
one of rascality. She accuses me, or my
printers, of garbling her articles. We
have never Intentionally done so. Mrs. K.
ought to remember that those who are
suspecting some. one all the time of
fraud, trickery or dishonesty, need to be
watched.
My friend spends much time in telling
about the evils of drunkenness. What a
waste of time or space. l said some time
ago that this was not neces sary. All ad-
NIT this. While my friend cites the ac-
ton of the Methodist. conferences, will
she tell me about how mahy Methodist
preachers are Democrats? Yet, like all
Prohibitionists, she seems to possess a
venomous feeling, scarcely womanly,
against the party which embraces forty
nine fiftieths of the religion, morality,
temperance and decency of the country.
She will not let me say that Prohibitionists
are yet Republicans. Very well. Let
them go. They are past praying for, or
listening to argument. The enemies of
God and humanity tried the same trick
last fall with Horace Greeley, but God
made the wrath of man to praise him,
and the result was the most terrible and
crushing defeat of the party of traitors,
and the miserable man who betrayed the
glorious principles of lifetime now fills
maniac's grave. 1t will be SO again.
Your little squad of sorehead renegade
Republicans have hired man of talent
to come all the way from New York to
jackson county to abuse and attempt to
defeat the Republican party. What for
This is close county, on Representative.

ing off some (former) Republicans for

here to-day that Leo Miller was paid for
his two weeks work in our county out of

man in the close counties. Somebody pays
him. Where does the money come from?

good field for him to work in.
You talk about the Prohibition Era. 1t
is one of the meanest papers 1 ever saw.

The esProhibitionists are boasting that
the Prohibition Era is attaining wide
circulation in Jackson county. We had
occasion, some time ago to speak of an
attack made by that paper upon the
STANDARD, and the Republican party. We
only saw the one number of the paper,
sent to us with that article marked.
The Columbus journal had the follow
ing editorial short time ago:
Among all the devices of political
slander, the most thoroughly contempt
ible is that of assailing the character of a
crippled soldier with calumnious accusa-
tions against his courage and sobriety
while in front of the enemy. Such
charges are generally made with impuni-
ty, because it is as unpleasant for really
brave soldier to defend his courage as
for a pure woman to answer ISLANDERS
upon her chastity, and while it is easy to
affirm or insinuate improper conduct on
the battlefield, it is difficult if not impos-
sible, no matter how unjust the charge,
to disprove it. There will always be
found some ca-Ip sneak or hospital bum
mer who will vouch for such calumnies,
as well as some editor who Is mean
enough to publish them. recent illus
tration of this is an attack ON the militia
~ character of Governor Noyes, which
we have observed in the Prohibition Era,

I. T..

1t will be remembered by many, that
one year ago DR.. l. T. Monahan bolted
the Democratic nominations, and led off
little squad of dozen or so with him
He called little meeting and had him
self appointed as delegate to a national
bolters convention at Louisville. That
convention was pro-slavery, secession
affair, but l. T. supported the ticket then
and there put in nomination. He op-
posed the regular Democratic ticket
throughout, and the day after the Presi-
dental election, when then of Grants
triumphant election came over the wires
from all parts of the country, no Repub-
lican rejoiced more heartily than did 1.
T. He went around with broad grin
upon his countenance, and as the disap-
pointed and defeated Democrats went
moping around, 1. T. would triumphantly
say to them: IL told you so. Good
enough for YOU
To show the state of feeling between
l. T. and the Democrats only one short
year ago, we take the following from the
STANDARD of August 20. 1872:
The following card was handed to us
on Monday morning by DIR. L. T. Mona
han. He said the editor of the Herald
refused to publish it:
JACKSON, August 26, 1872
To the Editor Of She Herald:
notice an article in the Herald accus-
ing all Democrats who differ with you,
and who are not willing to be sold by the
political traders and tricksters, of which
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1873-09-25

you number one, of being in the interest
of Grant, and that they are bought by
the administration money, DC.
When an editor of paper or a politi-
cal party has to resort to such contempt
ible meanness as to willfully malign and
misrepresent the motives of those who
honestly differ in sentiment, we think it
time that the honest people should pause
and seriously consider whether an editor
or party is worthy of their confidence
or support, who will thus misrepresent
the motives OF men who were never
known to finch or to abandon principles
during the darkest days of Democracy
We challenge you sir to point out one
single man in the catalogue of the COM
mIttee that could be bought with Grants
gold. Who are the movers or the COM
mitteemen, of the Louisville convention?
Some of them | will name and let the
people judge if they are purchasable, or
whether you are slanderer of the dark
est dye. We will name Hon. Samuel
Bayard of New Jersey, Hon. VIM. NJ.
Cory of Ohio, Hon. A. H. Stephens of
Georgia, Hon. J. J. Van Allen of New
York, Hon. Blanton Duncan of Kentucky,
and others, that neither gold nor office
could buy, or cause to deviate from the
true principles handed to them by their
| fathers.
When men barter fundamental princi-
pies and become the tools in the hands
of traders and tricksters who openly pro-
claim that they are not honest, but seek
to gain power for profit, we may expect
their sordid motives to become so cor
rupt as to compel their lying deceitful
| tongues to accuse others of dishonesty.
Now, | say to you and all others that
dare say or insinnate that |, or any other
straight Democrat is bought with Grants
money, that you are fool, or that you
knowingly misrepresent the motives of
those are more than your peers in every
respect. No honest man can for a mo-
ment believe that the movers in the Lou
isville convention are actuated by any
other than the purest motives; that they
believe in the Jefersonian principles of
Democracy, which have been the leading
feature and corner stone of almost every
national platform from 1898 up to this
time. They know that these principles
were abandoned by the Baltimore con-
vention, and that a representative was
placed in nomination who has fought
and battled these principles for the last
forty years. And now because we ad-
here to these principles, and believe they
ought to be perpetuated, is it reasonable
to suppose that We are purchased with
Grants gold? 1. T. MoNAHAN.

. he EJ;tor Of he ,Nandard

To the Editor Of the Standard:
1 am a quiet, peacible, unpretending
woman, and would not write peice for
the paper if l wasn't forced to it, but
when somebody writes peice and gifts
up in it and says that they are Mrs Eli
Backus, and that my husband is poor
drunkard. Now | think that is more
than a christian woman ought to bear
with silence and that is why l write you
this letter, to say to you and to the peo-
pie, through your paper that | have been
imposed on by somebody claimin to be
me when they amt.
That what they said about Eli laying
about the doggeries in Hamden is all
false. Eli don't drink strong drink and
what is more is in favor of prohibition /;
and as to warnin saloon keepers not to
sell whisky to him, l never need do that,
but | will warn them to quit the internal
business of sellin to anybody and save
themselves the disgrace of being forced
to quit it after the election this fall.
Prohibition is strong here and En- says
the pen is mightier than the sword and
he intends to fight with it right along
till the election. His hand is steady and
his head is level, which you know it
wouldn't be if he was low drunkard.
Now Mr.. Editor don't put that little peice
of poetry over my peice what you did
over Mrs. Kirkendall's, for you know the
cock has crowed and the hen would have
kept silent if they hadn't somebody
called my husband, "a respectable gentle
man) drunkard and tryed to make the
people believe it was me that said it,
Now Mr.. Editor good by. Eli and me
intends to attend the water mellon festi-
vel and hope to see you there and git
acquainted with you.
Yours, not in sorrow and shame but
with hope and pride,
Mrs ELI BACKUs

Prohibition party to attain power. Yes,
power to destroy the destroyer of her no
bic young brother, who though no drop
of that which intoxicates ever passed his
lips, was nevertheless one of its slain vic
Tins. Killed by the demon of intemper
ance. Sent to death by drunken officer.
1t was this that pointed the arrow that
pierced our hearts Our loved brother
doubly sacrificed, murdered by this foe of
humanity. Mr. Mackley. !, like you,
am in favor of forgiveness. l can forgive
the rebels if they repent and ask forgive
ness; but ! can never forgive this muir
derer of my brother. l saw my brave
young brother go forth in all the glory of
his early manhood, to do or to die for his
country. l saw him brought back in his
coffin sacrificed to this moloch by drunk
en- Col who when his officers protested
against being led into such a trap, swore
he would go through that night, or go to
hell; at the same time he was so drunk
he could not sit straight on his horse.
Do you wonder that | vowed undying
warfare to the monster. Do you wonder
l should teach my sons and my daugh
ters to hate it and to avoid it as they
would the Upas tree; ah and more so tor
this can only harm the short lived body,
but that destroys both soul and body.
Another case l cite in point. Lieut..
McMillin; one of our best neighbors and
citizens who while attempting to quiet
drunken brawl in camp, was felled to the
earth by missile from the harh of one
of these ruffians the injuries he received
resulting in his death. And these are
not isolated cases. Had it not been for
this death dealing scourge in the army
how many of our best loved ones might
have returned to US who are mourned as
slain in defense of liberty. They were
simply slain by intemperance. Where
treason slew its thousands whisky has
slain, and is to-day Staying its tens of
thousands.
Please tell US what you wish to prove
by Mr. Bryant? Who will dispute but
that it is better to have no law, than to
have brok en- law? by which l suppose
he means one to which no attention is
paid. I do not understand Mr.. Bryant
to argue against the law but that the law
should be enforced. Now let US strive
to bring up public opinion to the point
of enforcing it. And where is the force
of the quotation from the Gazette? In
effect, the editor declares simply, that if
he were engaged in wrong, and were
| called an unpleasant name, he would, for
revenge, set his face like a flint to do
evil. Now who would be accountable for
the sin? Does the editor of the STAN
DARD indorse the sentiment of the
Gazette that fine men are engaged
in the liquor traffic? Does he indorse O.
B. Chapman's license system based on
local option? Please answer.
