WE occupy considerable space this
week in producing the Acknowledgment
of Hon. Lorenzo Danford, upon accept
ing the denomination rendered him by
the united voice of the Republican
Convention assembled last week in
Bellaire. This speech deserves the
careful attention of all the voters in
the district. It deals boldly with the
great material questions at issue and
shows conclusively the direful results
of return to Democratic rule, upon
the manufacturing industries of the
country and the consequent distress
to the workers in our mills, glass
houses and f0uDdries.
1he people of our river border, and
in fact ALI of us, are especially interest
ed in the question Of protection to home
industries. as will be seen by Mr.
Danford's speech, we have in him an
uncompromising champion and friend
to every shadow and form of law look
ing to the protection of our laborer;
and our important industries.

Constitution and license.

We print to-day a table comparing
the vote by counties on license and for
Governor in 1873, which is curious
and very interesting exhibit. Thirty
five counties gave maiorities for Ii
cense, and fifty-three against. OF the
majorities for license, 2,35S were OBJ
tsined in Butler county; $50 in Cuya-
hoga; 1871 in Hamilton; 3,172 in
Montgomery; 747 in Lucas, and 936 in
Erie. These counties include Hamil-
ton, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton,
Toledo, and Sandusky. These majori-
ties aggregate %, ,1S9, leaving only H.
1872 majority for the rest of the State;
that is, the total majorities aggregate
36,9Sl, of which the counties including
the cities named gave 25, ,1S9. We also
find that eighteen counties that gave
Democratic msjorities in 1873 voted
against license, while eleUell counties
that gave Republican majorities in 1873
voted for license.
The question was not party one, of
course. Nearly all the Republican
daily papers favored license, as did all
the Democratic daily papers. The vote
in eleven Republican counties, there
fore. for license is not remarkable as
the vote in eighteen Democratic coun-
ties against license. .5F
The aggregate vote on the license
question in 1851 and 1874 compares as
follows. -r e =

THE payment of the five-twenty
bonds in greenbacks would add not less
than thousand millions to the present
circulating medium. There are already
$40 millions of legal tenders aioat, and
the substitution of that species of cur
rency for the National bank notes
would give us 400 millions more, max
ing a grand aggregate of nearly eight
teen hundred millions of irredeemable
paper. This Isl moderate estimate of
the imitation which the Ohio Demo-
cratic platform proposes, and would be
equivalent to the downright repudia-
alton of one-half of the public debt. 1t
would also utterly ruin the public cred
it. and would make the American
name kissing aEd a by-word forever
more. Nor would national shame and
humiliation be the only penalty we
would pay for such rascality. With
the currency Of the country depreciat-
ed, as it would be, TO mere nominal
value, labor and production would be
the-chief sufferers. It's bad enough to
pay labor in false dollars already far
below the value OF real ones, bat it is
as nothing to what would happen un-
der the condition of things proposed.

redeemable currency -afioat and there

THE DEBT AND TAXATION BuGABoo.


We are told frequently in Democratic
speeches. in Democratic newspapers and in
Democratic conventions that the people of this
country are u tax-ridden and debt burdened
people. How is it with the people of Ohio that
has been under Republican rule for more than
twenty years? The State of Ohio has been
steadily reducing the public debt ever since
the Republican party came into power in the
State; and we have now State debt of but
about eight millions of dollars. You scarcely
know when you pay your State taxes. How
Is il with the people of the Sixteenth district as
to debt, and taxation? So far US your debts
are concerned, If you will examine the report
of the Auditor OF State, you Will find that the
entire county, township and town debt. togeth-
er with all the school debt, in the Sixteenth
district amounts to less than one-half of one
million dolars-between $500 900 and 800, 900;
and that is principally the debt CT the city of
Bellaire for her water-Works and other i'm
provements and of the county of Jefferson fol
ner new Courthouse. That is about all the
Indebtedness you have in This entire district
The people of this country have been prosper
Gus in the last ten years. They are not in debt;
and take it they will not discard the party
that has done so well for the country, for the
purpose OF putting into power some party or
ganization that claims the spells of office.
WHAT IF THE DEMOCRATS WAS GIVEN THE
REINs?
Suppose you would elevate to power in this
country, in the coming election, the Democratic
party, what would you expect from them upon
the finances? What would you expect from
them in relation to your revenuesp What
would you expect Of them. so far as an en-
forcement Of those laws that guarantee the
rights OF the people under the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution? Gentlemen,
you would have chaos In your finances, you
would have confusion in your revenues, and
you would have war and bioodshed in the
Southern States.

you seek to attach yourselves to some party that
is camped high up on the hills under the

into the Democratic party-wherever you may
go when you come into power, if you ever shall,
remember what l say here to-day that those
men who, like Sanborn and others, seek icon.
tracts'' for their own pecuniary profit, those
who creep into power and into place for the
purpose of prostituting their place or power for
their own personal advantage, will be found
in your camps They will get among you; and
like Ruth unto Naomi, they will say: "Entreat
me not to leave thee Thy people shall be my
people, and thy God shall be my God" They
will stay with you, because wherever there is
victory there you find these men.

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS AND WAR CLAIMS
II the Democratic party shall ceme into pow

the Democratic party is concerned, one object

ing is extant in the North; that is, that every
