There will be a Common Pleas
Judge to elect this fall in the Judi
cial District composed of Darke,
Montgomery, Butler and Preble
counties, through the election of
Judge GILMORE to the Supreme
Bench. 1t has been agreed by the
several Democratic Executive Com
mittees in the District, that Judge
HUME, (now filling the vacancy by APP
pointment until the election be de-
clared the Democratic candidate for
the position without the formality of
a Convention, which action of the
Committees we feel safe in saying,
will meet the appreciation of the yot-
ers of the District. That he will be
elected by a huge majority there is
no doubt.

The Maine Republicans UNLOAD
ed"-to use the phrase of President
Grant. In the platform adopted by
their recent Convention, they ignore
entirely the third-term letter of his
Excellency, and-tell it not in Gath
they. don't say a word about the
administration of the capable and
judicious statesman" This looks
very much like a desperate effort on
the part of the Maine Republicans to
avert the fate that befell their party
in other States last fall, by washing
their hands clean of Grant, his adj
ministration and all it's iniquities.
The Ohio Republicans will endeavor
to carry the load and force it upon
the people as a distinguished sue
cess"

A short time ago the Eaton Reg
i;ster was the champion organ of the
temperance Crusade, but now it
speaks very ~fippantly about the
temperance life of Hon. SAM. CAREY,
and undertakes to make some CAPT
tai out of the fact that he was once a
temperance orator. That is about
twenty-five years old, but here is a
little scrap of history, taken from the
Fremont Messenger, a paper pub
lished at the home Of Gen. HAYES,
which would be interesting news to
the Crusade" readers of the Eaton
Register, and for the benefit of that
class we hope it will find a place in
its columns:
"Goyernor HAYES dare not deny
that he contributed $500 to the cru
saders of this city for the purpose O
carrying on the crusade. Governol
Hayes dare not deny that during thu
memorable crusade, last year, tina
he furnished the crusaders with
hall for their meetings, and with ga
to light said hall, free of expense
and thereby aided in keeping up tn
fanatical crusade in this city"
1t would be more consistent 70
the Register to stick to its crusad
doctrine, and defend its crusad
standard bearer.

The New York Sun has ciphered
out the exact amount that Grant has
Sacrificed by giving up his posi-
ton as General for that of President.
1t finds that eight years salary in
the former office would have given
him $685. 900, while his eight years
salary as President, exclusive of per-
quisites, will come to 100000, so
that it would have taken him until
1891 to draw as much money on the
pay roll as he has drawn on the civil
list. When we add about $4,000
for household expenses and such,
not to mention rail road passes and
presents, it does seem as though we
had almost made it up to the "capa-
BILE and judicious' General.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-01

1t is remarkable how well - post
ed in Preble county political affairs
the gentleman is, who resides in the
city Of Dayton and edits the Eaton
Register! The correctness o. with
which he scoops up the political sit
uation of his opponents, stamps him
as a keen scenter of astonishing
events! 1t is a pity this genius had
not been turned to use long ago in
the steerage of a hand-organ for the
Long Branch loafer. Scat!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-01

Our position in regard to the edi-
tor of the Register being attached to
the party Of Credit Mobilier swim
dies, Railroad Schemes, and Salary
Grabbers, is pleasant to US, whether
it suits him Dr. not. The proof that
he is attached to them is, that he has
never yet condemned a single one
of those committed under the
Grant dynasty, but hold an Office un-
der the national robber and indorses
all his usurpations and plumber. Mr..
WILLIAMS is attached to them, but
whether he has received any benefits
from the robberies, we have not said,
and don't know whether he has or
has not-that is for him to answer.
But had the writer displayed a little
common sense, he might have discov-
cred that saying he was attached to
the Rings did not imply that he was
stealing, and consequently he reach
ed a little too far, and exhibited toe
much "true inwardness' in denying
what had not been charged upon
him. However, 'if his present posi-
ton is pleasant we are content that
he shall enjoy it."

The Long Branch lounoer charge

The Long Branch lounger charges
the taxpayers Of the United States,
$4,000 extra to keep him lettering
on the seaside and driving fast
horses, and the Republican party of
Ohio approve his conduct as "capa-
BILE and judicious," and all the organ
grinders, satraps and minions of his
administration sing out "great is
King Grant," and ask the poor rob
ber-ridden tax payers to vote on for
this kind of distinguished success
and Republican rule! Can the peo-
pie do it? Will they?

1t should be borne in mind that
the Prohibitionists placed a ticket in
the field in this State before either of
the other great parties. To the end
that sincere Temperance people may
know who they + expected to vote
for this fall we print the ticket in
full:
For GOVERNOR. Odell, of Cleve-
land.
For Lieutenant overnor-H. A.
Thompson, of Franklin county.
For Auditor of State-Belmont
Locke, of Lawrence county.
For Treasurer of State-Edward
c. Young, of Champaign county.
For Judge of the Supreme Court
C. Dwight, Of Montgomery
county.
For Attorney Generals. E.
Adams, of Cleveland.
For Member Board of Public
Works-John R. Butchel, of Summit
county.

HOW THEY DIFFER?

While the champion crusade organ
of Preble county would make the
people believe that the Democrats
have turned a complete somersault,
and gone over to the crusaders, the
Miami Helmet, a rampant Prohibi-
ton paper, and edited by ISAAC Nor
RIs, late of the Eaton Register, thinks
quite differently and speaks thusly
of the temperance plank in the Dem
ocratic platform. We frankly admit
he is very nearly correct:
"The fourteenth and last, saws, as
plainly as it could if it used the
words: Drink what you please; keep
the Sabbath as you please; sell whis-
ky as you please, this is none Of our
business"
OF our candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, who seems to be the great
bugaboo for the crusade organs, to
brighten the whisky influence to the
support Of their crusade party, the
editor of the Helmet says:
GAS to Gen. S. F. Cary, our say
shall be short. We know him per-
sonally and well. X x As to
Temperance, we believe him to be
an entirely sober man, but he has nc
principle in it. He don't drink, but
it makes no difference to him who
does. That, he says, is none Of his
business. For such a Temperance
man who would make his ballot tell
for ~sobriety and good order should
not vote"
We give Bro. Morris credit for be-
ing entirely correct in regard to Mr..
Cary's temperance views. Like ev-
cry other sensible and reasonable
man, Gen. Cary would ofcourse, pre-.
fer seeing all men sober and indus
trious, but is not in favor of ''crusa-
ding" the whole country because 3
few will violate the law of decency
and propriety in the use of liquor
He is no bigot or fanatic on this
question, hence the Helmet will not
support him, but will go for Gov,
Hayes, the $500 contributor to the
crusade movement. Let the Dayton
city gentleman have this Btckham
lied for the benefit of his Preble
county readers.

THE FOURTH OF JULY,

AS we draw close upon another
anniversary of the glorious day
which gave birth to our nation, amid
the preparations for its celebration
with due honor and enthusiasm,
thoughts of the struggle of our fore
fathers for the liberty we now enjoy,
and the self-sacrifices and daring
deeds by which it was obtained,
crowd upon the mind. And fore
most, most prominent, because the
first and most important of all
stands the action of the Third Con-
t%inental Congress, during the first
week of July, 1776. The tyranny, op-
preston, and misrule of the British
Crown over the American colonies
for a long series of years, had rem
dered the yoke of bondage distastc-
full to them, and for several years be-
fore the decisive action of Independ-
ence Day, the leading minds of the
colonies had resolved that after ur
gent appeals to the ruling powers for
redress ard protection, if their petit
lions were not responded to, they
would renounce allegiance to the
crown of Great Britain, and estab-
lish an Independent government.
When the Third Continental Con-
gross assembled in 1776, Richard
Henry Lee, of Virginia, offered a res
olution declaring the independence
of the united colonies, which he sup
ported by an eloquent and forcible
speech, detailing at length the tyran-
ny and grievances to which the col
onies had been subjected, and urg-
ing the dissolution of the ties which
had so long held them under subiec-
ton. After much free discussion
the resolution was adopted, and a
committee offve was appointed to
prepare a Declaration of Independ-
ence, which consisted of Thomas
Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Rob't.
r. Livingston. The drafting of the
Declaration was assigned to Jeffer
son by the committee, who thus be
came the author Of the most memor
able document which history records
The document was slightly amend
ed, reported by the committee of tn,
whole, and agreed to by the House
1t was signed on the fourth, and or
dered by Congress to be read to til
assembled multitude in Independ
ence square, and was immediatel
proclaimed throughout the colonies
1t was received with shouts of TO-
and every demonstration OF approba
ton. This immortal manifesto ha
been esteemed by every t~rue-hearte,
American as the charter Of our coun
.try's freedom, and posterity not onl
delights to honor the event whic
teemed with such mighty results, bu
the memories of these glorious fifty
six who affixed their names to til
document, which was to consiG
them to destruction CT render thel
immortal, are revered and cherished
and live green in the hearts of the
descendants.

Let every Republican in Preble
county take the two platforms and
read them carefully and candidly
and then contrast them. Upon the
financial plank alone how do the two
parties stand? The Republican par
ty have declared in favor of a con-
traction Of the currency, for what is
a return to a specie basis hut a con-
traction, whilst the Democratic party
declares in favor of an expansion
according to our necessities. The
contraction theory is well understood
by all by this time. The past couple
of years experience have taught us
something that we think many of us
will not soon forget. A more COM
plete paralyzation of the industries
Of u country never before in the
history of living man was expert
enced, than has been within the two
years past. The inirmaries, soup
houses and calabooses of the land
can tell the tale, and should the poll.
cy advocated by the Republican par.
ty be put in operation, business
would again be Frustrated and the
whole country would be overrun
with tramps and laborers seeking
employment. Do the people want
this condition of things continued
with ten-fold? If they do, let then
vote for the party of contraction
and if they do not let them vote the
Democratic ticket.

cause it has Endorsed the admins

sanctionedthem las a capable and ju-
dicious statesman The Third Dis
trict Revenue Collector and Dayton

giving encouragement to, and uphold
ing barcfaced robbery in high places,
they should support the Republican

THE GREATEST INSULT EVER
OFFERED TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE,

THE GREATEST INSULT EVER
OFFERED 10 THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
"But 1 was made to believe that
the public good called me to make
the sacrifice. = But it must be
remembered that all the sacrifices,
except that of comfort, had been
made in accepting the first term"
|-TGeneral Grants letter to Gener-
al White.
A few years ago there was a man
who had been educated in Il West
Point Academy at the public OK
pense. He had dropped out of the
army and become a hauler of cord
wood to the st. Louis market. Com
mon report says he used to be found
dallying long by the roadside on his
way home.
Later he was a clerk in a leather
store in Galena, very poor.
He was appointed q Colonel in the
army, and promoted and promoted
and promoted, until he had the COM
mand of all our armies. Many per-
sons always thought that much, very
much, of his success was owing to
the superior opportunities that were
given him.
Finally, a rank and title never be-
fore conferred in this country we're
created especially for him. He was
made the General of the United
States Army. Then he was nomi-
mated for President Of the United
States and elected. Next he was re-
elected. Elected and reelected to
what? To the highest elective office
ever created by man! To an office,
to hold which, in the infancy and be-
ginning of the Republic, George
Washington was proud! An office
which Thomas Jefferson and James
Madison and John Quincy Adams
and Andrew Jackson gloried in the
privilege of filing. And now look
upon the beggar on horseback-the
penniless wood hauler-despised
then, not for his poverty, but for his
gross weaknesses and faults, coming
out in a letter and splitting in the
face of the whole American people,
and insulting them in the most obi
Gus and offensive manner, and pra-
ting upon the "sacrifices"-"sacrifi-
ces," that's the word-which he-he
-HE-Ulysses S. Grant uses-the
sacrifices he made in becoming their
Chief Magistrate! Out upon the
poor fool! Who does he imagine he
is? Let the contempt of the whole
great American people he has insult
ed cover him countless fathoms
deep!
This is a pen picture of the man
that the Republican Convention in
dorsed as a distinguished success
and a "capable and judicious states
man," drawn by one who knows him
well. If the people of this county
desire the continuance of such 'cap-
able statesmen" at the head of ouI
national affairs, let them vote the
Republican ticket and we will be
sure to have them.
