The Stay-at-Home Vote.

But the great resource of the Republicans is in
the stay-at-home vote of the last two years. The
actual number of voters in the State is unknown,
but is probably 55N,OOO In the Presidential elec-
tion of 1872, $50 49s votes were cast. When Allen
was elected two years ago, the aggregate vote
was only 44s,s7s. Last year for Secretary of State
the vote was 467, ,4o5. From this statement it
seems &C., 900 voters did not vote last year, sO
900 the year before. When Thurman beaten
by Hayes in 1861, he received almost $4,000 more
votes than Allen had when he was elected. The
defeated candidate in 1871 also received nearly
1000 more votes than elected Allen in 1873 These
facts show that by far the greater proportion of
those who last year stayed from the polls Re-
publicans.-[Ohio Correspondence N. Y. Times.

Gov. Allen Declares i'm fav-
or of Repudiation--The
N. York World DenounceS


An Ohio correspondent of the n.
Y. Tribune gives a report of con-
versation he held recently with Gov.
Allen, in which the Governor dis
tinctly declared himself in favor of
paying off the U. S. bonds in green
backs, in violation of the sacred
obligation of the nation, under the
act of Congress of 1869, to pay the
principal and interest of the
bonds in gold. Here is what he said,
as related by the correspondent:
@. Do you think the payment OF
those gold bonds in greenbacks
would be repudiation?
Governor Allen-Repudiation OF
an act of Congress, certainly.
@. Would you call such q repu-
diation an act of bad faith ?.
Governor Allen-There was no
good faith in the passage by Con
gress of the act of 1869.
@. Vel, ifttat toas not an act Of
good faith, aooatId 1t be bad .taih to
repeal it j.?
Governor Allen-NO.
The New York World, the leading
Democratic paper of that State, thus
Indignantly denounces Gov. Allen
for bis open declaration in favor of
breaking the faith of the Govern
ment with its creditors:
"zHe Democrats Of Ne'o York re-
pudiate this hoaryrepudiGtor.
"But what will the honest Demo
Gratis of Ohio and Indiana do? We
listen for the voice of Hendricks and
Pend1eton. They frankly and hon
esty accepted the full force of the
act of 1869 in respect to the FIVE
twenties. But that act was not need
ed to affirm the obligation of the
United States in respect to all the
rest of the fund debt. The obhga-
ton was complete and nowhere
doubtful in the explicit enactments
under which the bulk of our debt
was funded. If they stood by the
honor of the nation when new ele-
ment was imported into doubtful
contract, much more should they
stand by the honor of the nation as
plighted in contracts, never question
ed till now, and bearing the promise
of gold upon their face.
"Goy. Hendricks should lose no
time in repeating has old pledge.
'Ihe nation IS in honor bound.
George H. Pend7eto,e should make
haste again to sag, We d6hor repu-
diatio,e :. ace refuse to 6rectk the con-
tract. ,"

WELL PUT.-The Columbus Jour
nal says:
We would be glad to have any one
point out what religious tenet of the
Catholic Church has been assaulted
or complained of by the Republican
press. We have nothing to do with
any mans religion. Politics only
has been made the topic of discus
sion by the Republican press. If the
Catholic Church finds herself receiv-
ing punch occasionally. it is be-
cause she has stepped into the po-
litical "bull ring" and got mixed up
with politics.

The most vindic,ive abuse of the Democratic
press and rostrum for several years past has been
heaped upon the Republican party for its tendency
to Capitalization" Yet the Democratic politi-
clans of Ohio and Pennsylvania are throwing their
every energy now TO centralize the entire financial
interests of the country at Washington, by placing
the business interests of the United States under
the complete control of the Administration and
Congress, which, should these men have their way
can, at any time, revoutionize values and initiate OIL
contract the currency at the dictates of their fancy
or to further party measure.

Father Murray, the Roman Catholic priest of
st. Mary's church, in Chicothe, has issued an or
der forbidding his parishioners from sending their
children to the public Schools of that city, under
pain of communication; and accordingly u num-
Der of youth have been withdrawn. The SciotO
Gazette says:
''The voters of Ross county, without respect to
party, will teach these mcddlesome gentlemen a
lesson this fall which they will not soon forget.
The Catholic priesthood can dictate in Spain, but
in this country they have to take their cuances
with other religious sects."

Gov. Allen declined to make any
political speech here, though he had
good opportunity to do SO on Fri

he did not care to speak after Gov.
Hayes able effort the night before.

How dotic is Governor Aliens attempt to iI4
flame the farming classes with the idea that they
are badly used. The farmers have never had bet

And now, while the manufacturing interests of the
country are depressed, they are receiving large
prices and have ready market for all their produce.
With wheat above dollar, and corn in the neigh
borhood of IS cents, while calico is selling for and
10 cents yard and other manufactures in propor-
tion, is certainly no cause for serious complaint by
those who till the soil.

Spurious Republican Ticket
A Sly Trick of 81 Democratic
Candidate.


Candidate.
We have in our possession piece
of paper, headed Republican Tick
et," and containing the names of all
the Republican candidates for State
and County offices, excepting for
Treasurer of Highland County.
The following certificate will ez-
plain the origin of this document:
GREENFIELD, Oct. 2, rs.
Sec'y Highland Co. Central Com
mittee: In reply to your note, I
have only to say, that Mr.. Johnston
ordered 400 tickets printed, of the
Republican party, with the name Of
w. S. Patterson omitted.
GEO. W. SPRUNG.
Now our Republican Central Com
mittee have had plenty of Republi-
can tickets printed for the coming
election. Why does Mr.. Johnston
take it upon himself to get up this
spurious ticket? Does it not look
suspicious, to say the least? The
campaign has been carried on honor
ably, SO far as we know, up to this
time this Fall, and we had hoped
that the honorable men of both par
ties would show that they were above
resorting to tricks in order to carry
their objects-which all profess to
be the election to office of the best
men presented for our votes. We
regret exceedingly that Mr.. johnson
has seen fit to adopt a doubtful
method to secure his ends.
Tie fact, that two years ago, in
seeking the same office, he attempted
the same game, renders his actions
doubly suspicious.

The "Rocky Fork" candidate for Senator will
find, unless are greatly mistaken, that the
"Whisky Ring" may control nominations, but it
is quite another thing to elect its candidates. A
great many good Democrats have taken firm

who represents the interests of whisky, and they
will quietly "scratch" DR.. Holmes name from their
tickets next Tuesday. From all we can learn of

The in1ationists impndenty charge the Republi-

The Republican policy is TO increase the value of the

many of them that they can be redeemed.
That is the whole truth in nutshell.
