'.an absurd and preposterous platform.
We have seen the brains of the party,
even in Ohio, opposing this platform and
denouncing it, or preserving a grim 81
lence toward it,. We have, against all
this, nearly twenty3years of Republican
administration. without pretense on
the part of tssbitterest enemies of NAL
feasance or misfeasancei in any depart
ment-nay, more, with the enforced GER
tifcate of Governor Allen that the Dem
ocratic Executive has been unable to find
any evidence of fraud or misconduct in
Office on the part of any Republican State
official. aUr tGct 54sntrlasa5
And now we are asked to repudiate
this Republican State administration and
indorse the Democratic failure, because
the National Congress,-by the help of a
minority of Republicans and a majority
of Democrats,-has been implicated in
the Credit Mobilier; because times are
hard, (they are always hard-did you
ever know a time which was not hardly
because crops are short and men are out
of employment; because a Democratic
rebellion has cost handreds of thousands
of lives and hundreds of millions of trea-
sure; because Chase (who came near be-
ing the last Democratic candidate for
President) created National Banks and
an irredeemable currency; because there
was too little rain last year and too much
this year. because the grasshoppers eat
out Kansas, Nebraska and parts of Min
nesota; and because-because we are not
all happy and rich; and for various other
equally good reasons.
Are you prepared to adopt this style of
reasoning2 Then vote the Democratic
ticket. Tyox preferytO accept the record Of
the Republican party in the State Of Ohio,
aohich has ertorted praise from its most inter
ested enemies, then vote the Republican
ticket. AS men of sense, we appeal to
you. Choose ye this day" 9ea-

We are having the full benefits OF
Democratic administration in Ohio. We
have small reduction of the State levy,
accomplished by leaving the State debt
due on the 31st of December next un-
provided for, leaving the Central Luna
tic Asylum half provided for and leaving
the Sinking Fund not reimbursed for a
transfer which saved $4,000 in interest
to the State. We have seen the manage
ment of the Central Lunatic Asylum
Building fund taken out of the hands of
an unpaid Board of reputable Trustees,
and put into the hands of an expensive
ly salaried Commission, with the work
delayed from inadequate appropriations
and inefficient management. We have
seen Democratic Superintendent of the
Soldiers Orphans Home convicted of
lawd practices and permitted to resign,
after a short administration which
largely increased the running expenses
of the institution. We have seen an at
tempt to oust the Superintendent of The
Reform Farm, and put in partisan sue
cessor, before his term expired. We
have seen the Ohio Penitentiary demor-
allied in discipline, and its net proceeds
reduced to nothing, while the number of
convicts has been larger than at any pre-
vious period in its history, and the pro-
ceeds should have been correspondingly
increased. We have seen the Superin-
tehdent of the Northern Ohio Lunatic
Asylum secretly examined on charges
similar to those against the Superintend-
ent of the Soldiers Orphans Home, the
reporters of the press excluded, the wit
nesses discharged for testifying, and the
Superintendent allowed to resign" We
have observed the ruling price of one
hundred dollars head for a Democrat
ic reform Legislature. and the suppress
sion of material part of the record of an
investigation, under a resolution of the
body implicated. We have seen a Dem
ocratic Governor unable to sign his own
name, and carrying on the Executive
functions by means of stamp signature
in the hands of subordinates. We have
seen the only creditable performance of
public duty in institutions still under
the administration of officials appointed
under Republican control. We have
seen the Democratic party rent into fac
tions, and its platform the laughing stock
of Democrats and Republicans alike, ev,
erywhere outside the State, We have
seen senile candidate for Governor eat
his own forty years record in the vain
hope gaining votes on what is declared

Cold CoURT1NG.-On Saturday morning

Sam Cary Pitches Into the Dutch Saloon
Keepers.

Thurman has done it, Theodore Cook
has done it, Durbin Ward has done it
and now comes Sam. Cary to express his
opinion of the Democratic prospect 1t
seems as if there was suicidal mania
among the leaders of the party. NO
sooner does one of them speak his mind,
showing the utter rehabilitation OF the
head centers, than another follows suit.
Recently Sam. Cary met a Preble county
Republican on train. They had acted
together in years gone, by when both
were ardent temperance men Ana SO
Cary thought here was good chance to
do a little private electioneering and
make raid upon the temperance Repub-
licans. Sam. took up his parable and
endeavored to make an impression on
the Preble man He said: "Will my old
Republican friends in your county vote
for me this fallY' The Preble gentleman
replied, mo, sir; L don't believe they
will ~,
Thereupon Sam, finding the game was
against him, played his strongest card.
well" said he 'they ought to support
me. The Dutch saloon-keepers have all
gone back on me, and it about time the
Dutch should be taught they can't rule
this country"
Now this may seem an. improbable
story. But it is no more improbable
than many other things which Cary has
said and done, about which there is no
dispute. At all events the gentleman as
we are informed, who reports this con-
versatjon which he had with Cary, is one
of the best citizens of Preble county.
Thus, one by one, the great leaders of
the, party depict their hopeless condition.
Thurman and Cook take their turns,
Durbin Ward takes his, and Cary brings
up the rear with denunciation of the
Dutch saloon keepers, p the sagacious
declaration being superadded, a"That it's
time to show the Dutch that they can't

What Rag Money Costa Strong Ap'
peal by an Able Man.

Reverdy johnson, who is generally rec
ognized as the ablest constitutional law
yer in this country, writes a powerful
letter on the finance question to the New
York Tribune, from which we quote;
LOSS BY AN IRREDEEMABLE CURRENCY.
The effects of an irredeemable curren-
cy are very obvious. They fall upon
every department of human industry,
and injure all the dealings between man
and man. The indirect loss to individ-
uals are necessarily heavy, and to those
are added increased taxation, sure to fol-
low. This can be readily illustrated.
Money being the representative of the
value of the labor of the country, and
used for the purpose of exchanging the
same, the amount is limited by what is
required for that purpose. If such value
is less than its nominal amount the loss
to the laborer is the difference between
the one and the other. The. tendency of
an irredeemable currency is to Its own
increase. Story, in his Commentaries,
correctly tells US that "the history of
paper money without any adequate funds
pledged to redeem it, and resting merely
upon the pledge of the public faith, has
been in all ages and in all nations the
same. Ithas constantly become more
and more deprecated, and in some in
stances has ceased from this cause to
have any circulation whatsoever whether
issued by the irresistible edict of des-
pot, or by the more alluring order of a
Republican Congress" This is proved
by the history of such money during our
Revolution, and up to the adoption of the
Constitution. The first issue authorized
by Congress in November IT'S, was $3,-
100000, and Notwithstanding promises
to the contrary, the issue was increased
to the enormous amount of $500. .000,0 900.
And then in spite of various Legislative
contrivances, penal as we'll as civil, to
give it a value, it died valueless in the
hands of its possessors. The creation oi
such @ currency being attended with very
little expense whenever the people or the

A case of mistaken identity took place

A case of mistaken identity took place
as the cars left the Newark depot. A
pretty girl, with her handkerchief up to
her eyes, had seen her lover seat himself
in the last seat of car, but while she
was bathed in tears, she did not see that
the train had backed, and a different car
stood in front of her; but presently she
looked up and with sweet smile said
''good-by darling" to an astonished and
bashful young man who was sitting
there, in the place where the other fel-
low should have been. Ira

Nuts for the Caryites.

The Ohio Democratic platform states:
That the the contraction of the curren-
cy heretofore made by the Republican
party &c.
Gen. Cary amplifes this contraction idea
when he says: ls,I. 5s.s.s..al, saf Laa5f ssfJ
When we take into consideration the
extent to which contraction has been car
ried it is matter of no surprise that our
iron furnaces, rolling mills, glass works,
cotton and wooden factories, in short,our
entire manufacturing industries are pros
trated.
We call Gen Durbin Ward to the
stand, a Democrat of twenty years stand
| ing, fighting for and earnestly upholding
the principles of the party when Cary
was crusading against beerjerkers and
drinkers, calling the Germans who drank
their beer. "a dwarfed, diseased and -infe.

is his testimony testimony
