PERSONAL RECOLLECTIoNs.
BY THE EDITOR.

l intend to give brief history of the
Democratic party from the time of its
formation up to the present time. will
do this in regular order of time, with one
exception. This week will skip peri
cd of twenty years, and hereafter go back
to my regular order.
The absorbing question now, is that of
finance, and hard times. Democratic or
ators, down to the meanest loafer on the
store box, or steps of the liquor shop, is
bowling about hard times, and here
comes the eloquent orator S.. F. Cary, and
tells the people that starvation is immi-
nent-that the issue now is one of bread
and butter. Some young men may not
be aware of what was the state of affairs
during the last Democratic administra-
ton. You will hear men saying on the
streets that times are hard, and we must
have change. In order to have some
idea of what change back to Democrat
ic rule means, propose to make few
comparisons.
have heretofore spoken of the price
of several of the necessaries of life dur
ing the last Democratic administration,
this county could then only get fifty
cents day. The last school | ever
taught was in the winter of 1854, and
1 received twenty dollars per month
That was the highest wages l ever re-
ceived, and no country school teacher
! I,
Democratic administrations from 1888,
when the school system of Ohio was put
into operation, up to the year 1861;
teachers in the country only received
from ten to sixteen dollars per month.
At the late Democratic county conven-
ton asked c. c.. McKinniss, Demo
cratic school teacher what wages he is
now receiving, and he promptly told me
fifty dollars per month. So you see that
there has been great advance in this
direction, as we'll as in the wages paid
for common manual labor.
With the exception of one month
March 1941, and little over one year,
in 1S49, the Democratic party had full
sway from 1882 to 1861. Whatever can
be fairly charged or credited to Govern.
ment as to the financial con dition of the
country in the years 1S57-S-9, must be
laid to the credit or discredit of the
Democratic party. After Millard Fill
more retired, in March, 1858, Franklin
Pierce, a Democrat, served full four
years, with a Democratic Congress.
James Buchanan came into Office March
4, 1857. L was practicing law in Jack
son during all of Buchanan's s administra-
ton, and had the means of knowing
something about the condition of inan-
cial affairs in this county at least. Now
l propose to show the number OF judg-
ments rendered at each term of the
Court of Common Pleas in this county in
the years 1S57-S-9, with the aggregate
amount of such judgments Then l will
give the number of judgments and ag-
gregate amount of the same for the years
1S72-34 When you hear Democrats
bowling about destruction of business,
distress smong business men, &c, show
them the following figures, which l took
carefully from the Court dockets, and
they are correct. These books can be
seen in the Clerks Office.

DR.. l. T. Monahan, of this place, was
nominated by the Democratic conven-
vention at Portsmouth last week as can
didate for State Senator. The Ports
mouth Republican gives his speech. ac-
eepting the nomination, as follows:
DR.. Monahan then arose and spoke as
follows: 1 thank you, gentlemen, for my
selection. l have sought this position,
worked for the nomination. Everything
is worth working for. l now feel just as
well satisfied as though had not been
so bitterly opposed. am your standard

not be elected without your aid, we must

necessity of it. l am now the fastest
man for Senator in this district. l hear
Democrats say they intend to vote against
Cary, hear them say they will vote
against Allen. But we must arrest this
business. 1 have hard county to fight
in. did not vote for Horace Greeley
l may have been wrong,I may have made
mistakes, you have made mistakes. 1t
won't do to let these differences disturb
US, especially as l am candidate.
thank you, gentlemen.
DIR. Monahan is the last man in this
world who should open his mouth on
the subject of stealing, or plunder. And
we give him fair warning, that if we hear
of his uttering word more of this false
and general charge against the Republi-
cans, we will again publish that little
school transaction of his, with the Dem
ocratic proof on file against him.

The payment of five thousand dollars in !
into the business operations of the coun-
ty, instead of paying it to the bankers of
Wall street, is great advantage to our
people, if they kept the money. But this
is not the case. Instead of the stock
holders keeping this money, they actual
ly pay back every dollar of it in taxes
This bank pays to the National Govern
ment, in round numbers twenty-one hun
dred dollars and State, county and cor
poration taxes, in round numbers, thirty
three hundred dollars. 1t pays four hun
dred dollars more than it receives. but
as it receives gold and pays taxes in de-
preciated paper, the amounts are about
equal Is not this so. Mr.. Chapman? Is
not this so Mr. Armstrong?
But the Chillicothe Advertiser says
that the farmers pay all the taxes. l will
ask Mr.. Chapman, President of the bank,
if the bank does not pay taxes on the
full amount of capital. one hundred thou
sand dollars will also ask him if there
are not lands in full view of my office,
and of his bank, that are taxed on a
valuation of fourteen dollars per acre,
which have been sold within the past
two years for one hundred dollars per
acre? And yet the farmers pay all the
taxesl
The Democrats well know that bonds
never can be taxed. They have had the
Ohio Legislature for two very full ses
sions, and they never even thought oi
passing law to tax bonds. But here
are bonds to the amount of one hundred
thousand dollars, in one bank, right ii
our town, paying much more tax in pro
portion to their actual value, than the
lands, horses, cattle, &c, of the farmers
Let the demands of the Democratic plat
form be complied with, and this bank bt
"extinguished," and the thirty-three hun
dred dollars now paid to our county
Treasurer will be added to the taxes o
farmers and others. Extinguish thi
bank, and the stockholders will still owl
their bonds, and will still draw their fiv,
thousand dollars per year in gold, bu
[ then, in reality, they will pay no taxes

MEDICINES.

A prominent New York physician lately
complained to DUNDAS DICK & CO. about
their Sandalwood Oil Capsules, stating that
sometimes they cured miraculously, but that a
patient of his had taken them without effect.
On being informed that several limitations were
sold, he inquired and found his patient had not
been taking DUNDAS DICK q cos.
What happened to this physician may have
happened to others, and DUNDAS DICK & co.
take this method of protecting physicians, drug
giStS and themselves, and preventing OIL of San
dalwood from coming into diSrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the Cap
sules will continue to do so, for they contain
the pure Oil in the best and cheapest form.
DUNDAS DICK & co. use more Oil of San
dalwood than all the Wholesale and Retail
Druggists and PerfumerS in the United States
combined, and this is the sole reason why the
pure Oil is sold cheaper in their Capsules than
in any other form.
OIL OF SANDALWOOD is fast superseding
every other remedy, sixty Capsules only being
required to insure safe and certain cure in six
or eight days. From no other medicine can
this result be had.

physicians, of how to avoid the nausea and dis

POLITICAL MEETINGS

The Republicans had a meeting on
Wednesday of last week, and the Demo
Gratis had a meeting on Thursday.
Wednesday was the first clear day for
a long time,an the people staid at home
and worked in the harvest and hay
fields. A few scattering persons came in
from different parts of the county, but
there were not more persons from the
country than generally come to town on
Saturday. The Democrats laughed, and
the Republicans looked and felt blue.
But when they all collected, and the

One of our greatest objections to the
Democratic party, ever since we can re-
member, has been its constant appeals
to the prejudices and lowest passions and
lowest instincts of the very lowest and
most ignorant and debased classes of the
people. 1t has ever tried to array the
poor against the rich. If man was in
dustrious and economical, and by such a
course accumulated little property, and
built himself a comfortable house and
kept his hair and beard trimmed, and
put on clean shirt, the hatred of every
idle, drunken loafer was to be excited
against him, as bloated aristocrat, whose
property ought to be taken from him.
That dirty demagogue, Sam Cary,
makes this the burden of his harangues.
He tried this at Ironton, as. the follow
ing, from the Journal, shows:
Sam Cary is a foul-mouthed black
guard, as everybody pronounced him to
be who heard his base insult to the ladies
at the Court House yard. Not being
content with his filings at the wealthy,
all of whom in this region were once
have curvature of the spine and curvature of
the morals A man who could be guilty
of such language in public address to-
ward the ladies or any class should be
sent back to the brothels of Cincinnati
from which he sprung.
We close with the following truthful
article from the last number of Harpers
Weekly:
THE RAG-MoNEY CAMPAIGN.
The manner in which the Democrats
are managing the Ohio canvass is well
worth the attention of all honest and
honorable citizens. The financial uues-
ton is, by general consent, thus far the
essential issue in that State. The Dem
ocratic Convention pronounced for sheer
imitation and rag money, and the Demo
cratic candidates, Messrs Allen and
Cary, Mr.. Kelley, Pennsylvania Repub-
lican, and Mr.. George H. Pendleton,
have taken the chief part in the debate
upon the Democratic side. The argu-
ments of the three frst-named initiation
lists have been the most eXtravagant ap-
peals of the classes and the hostility of
the poor toward the rich. They have
represented the bond-holders-a phrase
which their hearers, of course, interpret
to mean all who are opposed to imitation
AS thieves and tyrants, oppressors who
grind the faces of the poor, and heartless,
naughty despots who plunder the peo-
pie. These orators, indeed, assume to-
lay down principles and to conduct ar
guments, and they speculate and theo-
rize with the air and tone of philosophers
and masters of finance. But these alb
stractions are not forcible or effective
parts of their speeches. In crowd of
miners, or in any miscellaneous throng
at political meeting the number of
those who can comprehend a strictly
financial or economical argument and
theory is not many But every hearer
knows what thieving and oppression and
aristocracy and plumber and profigacy
mean; and when a political orator, spea-
king to crowd of laborers in dull times,
when work is scarce and wages scant, de-
nounces his opponents as scoundrels and
knaves who are bloated with ill-gotten
gain, and fattening upon the poor man,
he does what he can to destroy the mu-

careful examination, a single case of official

that were wrong. nothing that was corrupt.
