PORTSMOUTH ITEMS.

The Times in this city is yelping cru
sader at General Hayes and j. 7. Sell
lards, our candidate for Representative.
The reason of this is because in the mu-
nicipal election in this city in 1874 the
whiskyites carried the day. Then in the
fall election of 1874 the Democracy which
is sold to, and owned by the whisky inte-
rest, carried the election. The Times takes
this as an Endorsement of the liquor in
terest by a majority of the citizens of
Ohio, and hence is very jealous in hunt
ing down any Republican candidate who
had any connection with the great tenn
perance movement of 1874.
The majority of the persons in the
country are in favor of temperance, and
the Times by its course of attacking per-
sons on account of their sentiments in
favor of temperance, is in fair way to
arouse the temperance people in such
way that on the second Tuesday of Octo-
Der it will find out the sentiments of the
people of this county on temperance
In the spring of 1874 large sums of
money were spent by the liquor interest
in this city to elect those Councilmen
who were run in the interest of the liquor
party. The Liquor Dealers Association
of this city gave Col; Warner, candidate
for Council, $75 to carry the Fifth Ward
in the spring of 1874, and like contribu-
tions were made in each ward
The Liquor Dealers Association of this
city are now preparing to spend large
sums of money in the present campaign,
to elect the Democratic ticket
The Democratic party before the war
was the creature and tool of the pro-
slavery party of the South, as it is now
the creature and tool of the Liquor Deal
ers' Association, and of the Roman
Church
1t is the whisky interest which is we'd
ded to the Democratic party. The beer
interest does not control it.
Many of the Germans may be fond of
their beer, but they are too shrewd and
have too much sense to be deluded by
any Democratic rag money notions. They
know they can't get more money" un-
less they work for it, and produce the
values which they can exchange for it.
They know that the more rag money
there is the more it would be depreciat-
ed, and that a man who earns $700 per
year now, would, in case of a larger in
crease of rag money, have his earnings
per annum reduced to $500.
tion has been controlled and operated in
the interest of some faction whose pecu-
liar tenets or objects have been danger
Gus to the welfare of the country and
the existence of the Government.
Haller, the great international and
communist has joined the Democratic
party, for the sole reason that he be-
lieves that party can be lassoed and op-
Grated by the international and commu-
mist. If Haller spent the time he uses
in shooting off his mouth in trying to
earn a competency, he would have no
occasion to be communist.
1t was in the Democratic party that
the pernicious doctrine of State Rights,
as fostered by Calhoun, was fostered and
grew until when arrived at its culmina-
ton, it nearly destroyed the country.
Every institution which has been or is
dangerous to the country, has, when it
sought it, found ready apologist in the
Democratic party.
1t was this same party which had so
few fixed principles as to allow few
bowling rag money idiots to capture it
in Ohio on the 18th of June, S75,against
the protest of the only men in it who are
worthy of regard.
The creed of Sam. j. Huston Demo
cratic candidate for Probate Judge, is
as foAsws: "Whatever is is right, more
