John G. Breslin, the last Democratic
Treasurer of Ohio, stole 1868, 900 of the
public money, an amount equal at the
present time to million. There was no
sestitution. Under Republican manage
ment not one dollar has been lost. Now
come the Breslin party and ask to be re-
stored to power in that important office

And the last Democratic Treasurer OF
Jackson county caused the loss to the
people of the county of over ten thous-
and dollars, and we would not be sur

For two or three years past fool
named Donaldson has been going up

one toe, with his head down, or hook his
nose over a trapeze, or some such foolery

that his violent death was only a ques-

across the ocean by balloon, but failed.

We have received copy of the Lima
Democrat, in which we find a charge
made by an Iowa paper that Gen. Young,
candidate for Lieut.. Governor, hid in a
creek during the battle of Resaca. The
name of the Iowa editor who made the
charge is Bailey. And now comes the
Lima Gazette and says that this man
Bailey bought type from that Office,
started paper, and then ran off in the
night without paying for the type. The
Gazette also says that Bailey forged the
name of Peter Davis to a paper in order
to get the type. The Democrat does not
deny these charges. We should think
that this scoundrel, and criminal, is just
the kind of Democrat to get after Tom.

Since we wrote the article about the ex-
animation called by Congressman Vance
we have received the Gallipolis Ledger,
in which we find the following:
james Aleshire, son of Reuben Ale
shire, of this city, receives the appoint
ment of Cadet to West Point Military
Academy. He is cousin to Congressman
Vance"
So it seems our Congressman did have
a pet, a cousin of his. This shows how
much honesty there has been in the par
ty while it has been bowling for the past
seven years about Grants ''nepotism.

The ticket nominated by the Republi-

haps the strongest ever presented to the
voters of jackson county, when we take
into consideration the localities from
which the candidates have been selected,
as well as the character of the men. We
will speak of the candidates next week.

There was another bloody murder at a

There was another bloody murder at a
saloon" in Cincinnati, Friday, July 9Th
An Italian named Badrack kept liquor
establishment, and had an Italian bar
keeper named Guidi We select the fol-
lowing from an account of the affair in
the Gazette:
at appears that about o'clock last
evening little daughter of Badrack,
about twelve years of age, went down
stairs from the rooms where the family
live to the saloon below, and went behind
the counter to get glass of ale. The
bar-keeper became angry at the way in
which she used the glasses, or something
of that sort, and after calling her some
hard names, attempted to kick her out.
John Badrack, a brother of the girl,
about tWenty-four years of age, saw the
proceeding and at once commenced to
quarrel with Guidi for treating his sister
in such manner Words ran high, and
a moment later the two men were fight
ing on the sidewalk south of the saloon.
Three or four men were standing near
but made no efforts to separate the COM
batants, until Guidi was seen to draw a
dagger and raise it in the air. A man
named Thompson then grasped him by
wrist of the hand which held the knife,
but young Badrack was lying on his back
under his bloodthirsty antagonist unable
to defend himself or escape. An instant
later Guidi broke away from the hold of
Thompson, and plunged the dagger in
his opponents neck.
The blade, which was seven inches in
length, and sharp on both sides, entered
just at the base of the neck, severing the
jugular vein, and causing death almost
instantly. Without waiting to see the
result of his bloody work, the murderer
threw away the knife, and ran, closely
pursued by the bystanders and four Off
cers-Sissman, Murphy, Butler and Lii
lis-who had just reached the spot
He ran like deer down Broadway, out
Fourth and down Lawrence street, turn
ing aside into an alley below Third.

Why does not some one accommodate
the Portsmouth Times? 1t wants the
books of the County Auditor examined.
1t would take but slight examination
to show where the editors of the Times
attempted to draw from the taxpayers
of the county some eighty odd dollars
that had been once paid. But then the
Democrats are so down ON corruption,
rascality, and plunder, you know.

We have not seen in any of our Demo

Large extracts from both of them were
published in the STANDARD short time
ago. Come, brethren, don't be owardly.
Let the dear people know what the two
highest candidates on your ticket have
been saying.

"The Democrats came into Office last JAN

years, but we couldn't find, after the most
careful examination, n single case of ofAcial

that were wrong. nothing that was corrupt.

taxed people could well bear, but they didn't
steal any."-Speech Of Governor Allen at Wash

Scioto county, makes it necessary to es-
tablish an editorial department in Ports

lows:
PORTSMOUTH NOTES.
The only thing that makes brakes lit
tie Globe interesting or amusing is the
blunders therein. Last Sunday Rev. DR..
Pratt preached his farewell sermon, prior
to departing for Europe on the next day,
On Monday following there were the
races here. In Mondays Globe, Drake
announced that on the Sunday before DR..
Pratt preached from the text, Acts, Xxx,
7-"And upon the first day of the week
when the disciples came together to
break bread, Paul preached unto them,
ready money for the races tomorrow"
etc. Hereafter brakes blunders will be
carefully edited for the comic column of

The backwater from the Ohio is now

A good Democrat says the disastrous
floods here are caused by Sam Cary being

to Lazarus. (Luke xvi "a
The Times of this city ignores the
Democratic platform. 1t does not repro

boriously undertaking to dictate to one
of the Republican Councilmen how he
shall live in private life, while at the
same time it has at least one candidate
on its ticket who does not so much as
know whether there be any seventh
commandment or not.
The Times has raised the cry of 'cru-
sader' against J. T. Sellards, Republican
candidate for Representative from this
county, while at the same time it gives
its unqualified support to that flame
breathing temperance orator, General
Silvermine Fiasco Cary. Our people
would like to know which is the most of
fensive to the hummer element which
the Times represents, the man who only
believes in praying down intemperance,
or the man who believes an exterminat-
ing its supporters by fire and sword, hail
stones and Goals of fire.
A few days since we were informed by
Bourbon Democrat that at the time
Gen. Sam F. Cary was about to engage
in his campaign as labor candidate, he
went through course of rubbing his
hands with powdered rosin, that they

shaking hands with the begrimed sons
