SO Irulnluliy OSSCEAOCu III MS view orh
speech, and in his Nixon letter, cannot,
and ought not, to be forgotten during
the present generation.
1 find the following in the Independ
ent Register, of Columbiana county, and
close this part of the subject by adopting
it:
"How can any Union soldier be so far
lost to his war record and the patriotic
principles that led him to risk his life
for the sake of his country, sustain by
his ballot, men who supported jeff Da-
Wis and the rebellion during the war !;
men who laughed whenever the rebel
veil gained the day in any engagement; !;
men who discouraged enlistments, and
threw every obstacle possible in the way
of the success of the Union army men
who offered insult in every way they
could to our soldiers, by branding them
as ''Lincoln's hirelings." and other like
names The children of such a soldier
will some day feel their faces tingle with
shame, and wonder how their father
could oppose the party that sustained
them in his absence, and gave to the
widow and orphan pension because the
husband and father died to save the ma
ton Soldiers, think of this, and then
contrast the conduct OF Gen. Hayes and
William Allen, as well as that of any
other candidates both on the State and
County tickets, before you cast your
votes on the second Tuesday in October
You complain about the legal tender
feature of the greenbacks. Your party
complained of this when they were is
sued, and said they were demonstrations
- L i laA
them Lincoln's rags, Lincoln scabs, goose
-, &c. If am not mistaken, you also
opposed enlistments, drafts, &c. The
legal tender feature was a forced loan,
made absolutely essential to the saliva
ton of the nation. when assailed by
Democratic treason. The Government
was compelled to seize the property of
the nation, and also to arrest the able
bodied men, and compel them to fight
Democratic traitors, or permit them to
destroy the nation. Now, that the war
is over, we propose to let the men and
property free from such seizures.
You refer to the soldier being paid in
paper. This is low demagoguism. Val
IGndigham, your great traitor martyr,
for whom Monahan and Aleshire, two of
your candidates voted, tried this in Con-
gress, by moving that the soldiers be
paid in gold, when he he know that there
was not gold enough in the United
States at that time to pay the army for
one months services.
Your assault upon the hated bond
holders, whom your party can never for
give for having frustrated your rebellion
by aiding the government with money,
and your argument in favor of repudia-
ton, deserve some notice, because they
are the main issues in this campaign.
If there ever was a class of bonds that
were payable in something else than
gold, it was the 5-20s. When that loan
was to be negotiated the Government
put it into the hands of Jay Cooke. and
he authorized the great Advertising
Agency of Peaslee & Co., of New York,
to advertise it in every paper in the
United States. The following advertise
ment, which l take from the files of the
Jackson Standard, was in every paper in
the United States, even including the
little rebel paper then published in Jack
son, the Iron Valley Express. use the

The whole amount of the Loan au

Prudence and self interest must force

have idle money on their hands, to the
prompt conclusion that they should lose
