Rataer ThIn-rhe DevII !. sick.

The trick is 80 plain that it glimmers
in blind mans eye. To prop up their
sinking cause, the Radical schemers in
Warren county have put Capt. Flana-
gan, the Democratic nominee for sheriff,
at the head of their ticket. The act is
a confession of weakness and impotency.
Whoever before heard of an act of dis
interestedness and iberality on the part
of the grasping managers of the Radical
party? Their rule has been to prescribe
every man not within their circle and
fill all the offices from constable up to
Governor, with men of their own faith
and following. But now, presto, change!
In Warren county, as elsewhere, in the
State:
The Devil is sick,
And the Devil a saint would be-
We know the material of which the
Warren county Democracy are made of.
and that they are not to be caught with
chat. The cunning Radical managers
have thrown their chances for sheriff
overheard that they may save the bal
ance of their ticket from the wreck and
ruin that await the whole of them. But
the men of Warren don't intend to be
cheated out of their victory in that way.
Let the RAIDS vote for Flanagan if they
will, but that must not keep the boys
from scuttling the piratical craft and
sending the whole crew to the bottom to-
gether.

The Desperate Game of Desperate
Men.

The Radicals, since the beginning of
the present canvass, have become desper-
ate. They first tried buster. 1t did
not work. Then they tried cajoling.
With no better success. Then mobs to
get Federal troops. They met another
failure. Then intimidation through
their press and Warmers war-whoop.
Still another failure, the white people
could not be inundated. Then the mi
litia-no better success. Their hand is
almost played. They hold only two more
cards: One to pack the polls on election
day, so that Democrats and Conservatives
cannot vote. If this card is played
break the line at all hazards. The other
card Is to let the Democrats do the voting
and Radicals will do the counting. If
you carry the election by the ballot, see
to it that you carry it upon the count
also. Let it be understood that if any
superserviceable Registrar, Inspector or
Clerk attempts this game that he does it
at the peril of his life.

Our distinguished and eloquent towns
man, Gen. A. M. West, will address the
Central Democratic Conservative Club
on next Monday night. We hope to see
the court house crowded to its utmost
capacity. Gen. w. is not only one of
the most eloquent speakers in the State,
but is a close reasoner. His speech
Monday night will be worthy the cause

We have heard that there is a pur-
pose expressed among the old friends and
constituents of Gen. West to get up a
mass meeting and barbecue at Durant, or
some other central point in Holmes, in
compliment to him and that they may have
the benefit of his counsels in the pending
election.

to-day dissolving the injunction in the
case of Jas. ID. Stewart Us. w. III. Gibbs,

THE OHIO ELECTION.
John q. Thompson, Chairman OF

Committee. I'm Answer 10
the Republican Exec.
utiVe Committee

COLUMBUS, Oct. 15-The following
decisive dispatch has been published by
Hon. John @. Thompson in response
to the card of the Republican Committee;
Hon. II. B. Wright, Chairman Of the
Democratic State Committee Of PennsyL
Uamia, Philadelphia
| observe in the Press of to-day card,
signed by the Republican State Executive
Committee, in which am charged with
willful Justification when | asserted that
the Democratic vote is twenty thousand
larger than was cast for any man ever
elected governor OF Ohio. Our defeat was
the result of the most lavish expenditure
of money which ever characterized politi-
cal contest, the colonization of fraudulent
voters, and introduction of the false issue
on the public schools, which excited the
prejudIces and bigotry Of religious hate.
The denial is marked by the same subter.
fuge which has been practiced by the Re
publican Executive Committee through
out the contest when it has appeared in
public. 1t will be observed that the denial
is only given to that part of my dispatch
which refers to the frauds perpetrated,
and to the lavish expenditure of money
and this is qualified by the contemplate
ruse that the Republicans of this State
had not contributed the money for cor
ruption. l am aware of the fact that
the Republicans of this State contributed
scarcely a 1.-THE of the morey used, and
the qualification Of the Committee is
weak invention. | unhesitatingly re-
assert every statement of my dispatch.
The Republican Executive Committee,
like all parties who commit crime, or
who are accessory thereto, realize their
infamy, and, like the criminal, are quick
in their denial. A thief or Il murderer
pleads "not guilty" when arraigned.
Would this Republican Executive Com
mittee do less?

This may all be true, brother Thomp-
son, but the belief remains that the

which was in their grasp, when they in

lesson which has been learned in full time
