The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-06-24
THE DEMOCRATIC (

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The ticket placed in nomination
by the Convention, which assembled
at Columbus on the 18th inst, is I'M
exceptionable in every respect, and
one that cannot help but command
The support of majority of the voters
of Ohio. Of the head of that ticket,
Hon. WILLIAM ALLEN, it is hardly
necessary that we should speak. In
him the people of Ohio have found
an Executive without suspicion or
stain, the most prominent feature OF
whose character is his integrity.
Never was this quality more con-
spicuous in a public servant; it has
adorned every day of his life, and
under all circumstances remains as
unsullied as that of childhood, and
all who have come in contact with
him, whether in private life or upon
public forum, bear witness to the
rectitude of his purposes and the
practical integrity which has char
acterized his conduct, during the
fifty years of his political life, and
the unanimity with which the peo-
ple of Ohio indorse his administra-
ton, insures his election again by an
overwhelming majority.
The nominee for Lieutenant Gov
-ernor, Hon. SAMUEL F. CAREY, is a
recognition of one of the finest ora
tors in the west, and his devotion to
the producing and industrial classes
of Ohio, deserves for him the sup
port of every laboring man and far
mer in Ohio, and we are satisfied
they will stand by him at the ballot
box on the second Tuesday of Octo-
Der, Notwithstanding the efforts of a
few spectators and political enemies
Ito defame his character on the eve of
the Convention. He was a Republi-
can so long as that party remained
honest and faithful to the Constitu-
ton, but when it openly t~rampeled
upon and disregarded the laws of our
land, and became rotten and corrupt,
like many other good men, he got on
board the Democratic ship.
THOMAS Q. AsHBURN, of Clermont,
was nominated for Supreme Judge.
Judge Ashburn has occupied a seat
upon the Common Pleas Bench Of
Clermont, Brown and Adams, and is
a gentleman of fine requirements
and a high order of liability.
Hon. E. NJ. GREENE, of Shelby
county, was nominated for Auditor
of State. He has served severa
terms as Auditor of Shelby county
was a member of the Legislature il
1878 and IA, and is a gentleman EN-
inently worthy the important trus
for which he is now proposed.
JOHN ScHREINER, nominee for Urea
surer of State, is an honest German
and halls from the county of Meigs
is capable, and his word is ever a
good as his bond.
THOMAS E, POWELL, for Attorne..
General, is a resident of Delaware
and enjoys a most enyiable reputa
ton as a judicial and legal scholar
He IA a Greeley Liberal, and lik
nearly all the independent portion c
that party, stepped into the Demo
cratic party, rather than go back
rotten Republicanism.
II. E. O'HAGAN, Of Erie, is tn
candidate for Member Of Board &
Public Works, and his acquaintanc
with the peculiar duties of the pos
ton for which he is named, is almos
unrivalled, and if elected will max
q faithful and competent officer.
The ticket is an excellent one, an
we predict its success by a majorit
which will make the day of the ele,
ton one long to be remembered Q
account of the complete route an
overthrow of Grants third-term az
yocates and shameless indorser
You may as well come down, gentl
men; you have sinned grieyously an
UNANIMOUSLY; your race is run; it
not in your power to mislead the i
dependent, honest, and tax-ridde
people of Ohio, by the howl of Scat
Ole influence" and a division of IL
School Fund; the handwriting is u
on the wall; like the monarch
Babylon, you have been weighed
the balance and found wanting;" "
have been probed to the bottom.
your vessel has been struck belc
the water line, and found to be re
ten to the core; and there is no Il
developed power in your condemn
organization that can avert the pc
ular storm.
