The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1874-02-12

put themselves down on the. record in
apparently an awkward position, when it
Is done Tor the purpose of reconsidering
or securing something else
Why did not Democrats vote for the
first resolution. which we published last
week, and which was what it pretended
to be--a simple business-like demand
for the repeal? Because it came from
the other side too soon for them, and
robbed them of some of their buncome.
Had they substituted something as fair,
no republican would have voted against
it. Here Is where our friend OF the
Standard missed it. He says: Opposing
resolutions expressing the will of nine
tenths of the people
OF course they do on one subject, but
do not on others. The resolution
charges the Legislation of Republicans
with precipitating a crisis upon the
country in September last" &c. Any
man, Republican or Democrat, who will
read all of the resolution from which
substance of the above is taken, and en-
dorse it, is more lacking in wisdom than
honest men should be- We have no idea
! any Democrat voting for it believed
word in it. 1t was written purposely to
be Objectionable to Republicans, and to
1 a
for a repeal of the salary bill. Much
more in the resolution is equally so. TO
lind an old-liner who can't see through 1t
is what astonishes us. Like Jefferson,
We tremble when we think of our
country ry.-Narietta Register.
The Democrats missed it when they
voted against he'resolutions introduced
by Republican But is this any reason
why the Republicans should act the fool,
and vote against similar resolutions
because they were introduced by Dem
ocrat? Why not have courage, and
dare do right, under all circumstances
The trouble seems to be, and Why it is
so we cannot imagine-that nearly every
Republican paper in the country is afraid
of President Grant. We do believe that
if the President would seize ten millions
of dollars in the public treasury, nearly
all the Republican papers would sanction
it. A short time ago we showed that he
now receives over four hundred dollars {
day, while thousands of persons as good
as he are starving to death. Read the
