The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-05-27
n BIDS GaaD-RY

The Eaton Register, the old organ
of Bro. MORRIS now IF the Miami
Helmet, bids him "good by" because
he refuses any longer to aid and as
sist in keeping in power the corrupt
and thieving Republican party, and
like all good and honest men, who
have become sick and disguised with
continued robbery and plumber, is
asking that tie people lay aside par
ty subserviency and march to the
polls and hurl the cormorants from
position and power. The fact of the
matter is, that as long IS Mr.. MORRIS
had charge of the Eaton Register, he
was under the control of a Ring and
Clique, who ruled the political desti-
MES of this county and moulded his
political opinions, and he was COM
PEELED to indorse their party and acts
OF lose his position. This was dem
onstrated the very next week after
he quit that journal. A gentleman
of talent and political honesty was
selected as editor, and in the first
issue denounced the corruptions OF
the Grant dynasty, for which the
Ring demanded his head, and it roll
ed from the editorial chair Of the
paper as suddenly as did that of
Lady Jane Gray, under the %imperious
order of the adherents of Queen
Elizabeth, and his place was filled
by those who would continue to sup
port the usurpation and corruptions
of the Republican party. The editor
of the Helmet is now away from the
influences of this Ring, and speaks
like a free man. After summing up
all the iniquities of the Republican
party, through its land grabs, defal
cations, salary grabs and Credit Mo
biliers, he closes as follows in hi:
last issue:
"Now, are we not right in saying
that a radical change is demanded
Is not the whole country ripe for
change? Are not the people hungr!
to get honest men of their own choos
ing-men who do not rant office, bu
men who will do honor to themselve
and their constituents in any plac
of trust? Is it not time then for tn
great people, the sober, honest, in
telligent men Of the country tired o
chicanery, of malfeasance in office
of cheats, defalcations and stealing
to pave the way for = 4 4 q part
: that shall be of the people and 70
the people"
f Yes Bro. Morris you are right
Any man is right in demanding
, change in the present political MAI
agement of u country and in de
nouncing rascalities wherever the
exist, and when it is done by the &C
+ herents of the party that are con
: hitting the outrage upon the ta1
l payers, it shows honesty and ind'
= pendence, and it matters but lit
whether the wickedness is correcte
f under the name of Republican, Lii
eral or Democrat. The people d
mand a change. They are ripe fl
it. 1t cannot be brought about
any other way, than by the complet
overflow of the present party
power, and if the Democrats put 70
ward honest, incorruptible men, NJ
t office seekers, it will be done beyor
a doubt, and the third term adv
e Gates and organ grinders of the a
ministration may as well, like Br
Morris, be getting their houses
e order for the happy event.
= In our quotations from the II,
i met, it is not the intention to lea
[. an impression that Mr.. Morris
W coming over to the Democratic pa
D. ty, but only to show that he is |
,S coming disguised with the rotten a
m sinking ship of Radicalism, and
advocating a new deal.
