The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1875-08-26

to business transaction, no man here
after would be willing to trust them
And why should not this rule apply to
deception and dishonesty whenever and
wherever practiced. If we tolerate dis
honesty and corruption in political con-
ventions, and applaud those who succeed
by unfair means, why not, then, applaud
and uphold those who by fraud and de-
ception succeed in business relations
The rule should be strictly applied, and
l propose to apply the rule, and sever the
heads of dishonest tricksters wherever
opportunity permits.
''In connection with these facts. wish

brass and tlnkling cymbals, without any
good or harm in them. As to the nomi-
ness of the convention, where the people
asserted their rights, as they ought to do
in everything, and had an opportunity
to vote their sentiments independent of
selected committees, they did their work
well, and no better selections could have
been made. The nominees are worthy
the support of every honest Democrat or
Republican in the county, and if they
Will keep themselves free from the dicta-

being elected. But if they permit these
tricksters to go over the county, and if it
is understood that they (the candidates.

ty will not indorse or submit to the die

who are determined to rule at all hazards,
and destroy all honest principles hereto

trlckster, or Booth the dupe and tool
who can be led astray by deception and
talsehood. Booth is to be pitied more
than blamed; his imbecile nature and
weak intellect make him easy prey to the

We have but few comments to make
upon the foregoing. People may think
that we sometimes say pretty hard things
about the Democratic party, and Demo
cratic candidates. But did we ever say
anything one-half as rough as the above
Mr. Booth has been a candidate for
county Office five times within the pas
eight years; twice for Treasurer, twice
for Auditor, and now for Representative
Did we ever call him fool and knave
Search our files, and see if we ever &C
cused him of dishonesty or imbecility
And we have indorsed DR.. Monahan as
man of truth, and we will stand by tha
Endorsement. By his own printed record
in the STANDARD, we intend to prove tha
both he and his party should be defeated
in the present contest. The above shoulC

Monahan is liar and a slanderer.
he is he should be laid high and dry upo1
the shelf. We suppose DR.. l. T. Mona
han will not permit DUNCAN the trick
ster, and Booth the dupe and TOOL "t'
go over the county" and indorse him, o
his defeat will be certain, unless he is
liar and slanderer in the foregoing arti
Gle. Unless both Monahan and Bootl
are low-lived, dishonest men, utterly un
worthy the support of even their owl
party, they cannot vote for each other.
