TO THE VOTERS OF belmont
COUNTY,

On next Tuesday you will be called
on to decide by ballot the different po-
litical issues now in controversy in this
County and State. By your votes the
great State of Ohio may be saved and
the honor of the nation kept inviolate.
The Democratic party ask you to vote
for their dogma of imitation. What is
imitation? 1t is national dishonor.
They tell you if they succeed in getting
into power that money will be plenty
and cheap. And so it will be, too
cheap; you will then be able to put
your provisions in one side of the scales
and your money in the other, and the
money will outweigh the provisions.
Don't he deceived by any such soph-
istry. The Democratic party have
been weighed and found wanting. In
their insane efforts to get into power
they will tell you anything, promise
you everything, and then, if reinstated,
will put the iron heel on you aud grind
you to powder. Is there a man in
Belmont County who will not change
his dollar greenback for golden dol
lar? Would you wish to live to tell
your children that you voted for the
nations dishonor? for that is what
you will be competent to do if you vote
the Democratic ticket. Do you want
our public schools, the poor mans
blessing, closed, and your chiIdren's
education dictated by Romish priest
If you do, vote the Democracy into
power, and you will find that we have
told you no idle tale. The Democratic
organs tell you there is no truth in the
assertion, that if they get into power
the public schools will be in danger;
but the Catholic organs tell you differ
emily. They tell you that the Catho-
lies are most important part of the
Democratic party, and that the solid
Catholic vote will be given next Tues.
day for the Democratic ticket, and in
return they demand, in language not
to be mistaken, Democratic assistance
to abolish what they are pleased tc
term, our pernicious public school sys
tenn. A,ad mark as they WiU get it,
Voters of Belmont County, ponder
) we'll over these facts, for facts they are
and then 60 to the. polls on Tuesday
next and deposit your votes for the
straight Republican ticket.

The New York World draws d pen
picture of its Democratic friends in
Ohio, not at all f1attering to them, but
which it will not do to question, as the
World claims to be an authority in all
matters concerning its party friends,
from which there is no court of appeal.
This is the way in which it describes
the men who rule Ohio, and who will
aspire to rule the country if Allen is
elected: 1.-THE correct coterie repre-
sented by the Cincinnati E'lqurer;"
"the men who bawled for peace in the
midst of war;" "who offered howls for
repudiation of the pledges of Govern
ment and defeated Seymour in 1861"
these laundering lunatics;" 'these
red-mouthed statesmen;" "these cor
ruptionists;;" "blind guides;" "heroes
of every ditch dug for the defeat of the
Democracy since the war begun, who
blighted the promising career of Pen
dleton, who slaughtered Hendricks
when his time was ripe, who NJ ow have
poisoned a cup for Thurman's drink
ing"

CONFIDENCE is the commodity want
ed now in the business world, not cur
rency. OF course the success of polit-
ical party that virtually advocates re.
pudiation would not restore confidence.
While it could not increase the volume
of currency, it would further unsettle
confidence and thus further POSTPONE
the revival of business. 1t is apparent
to every intelligent person that there is
an abundance of currency in the coun-
try, but much of it is not in circulation,
for the reason that those who own it or
could obtain it, are afraid to use it..
Here lies the difficulty, and it can not
be remedied by make-shifts or meas
ures caleslated to render uncertain the
future. Let the people of Ohio decide
by large majority against imitation,
and in favor of returning to specie pay
ments as soon as it can be done without
an unnecessary shock to business, and
confidence will be so far strengthened
as to insure steady and marked re-
covery in all departments of trade, and
this will put IN circulation the money
which is now stagnant at all the centers
of trade.

WHEN Carl Schurz opposed the Ad.
ministration, the Democrats called him
a high-toned statesman, and patriot
of the first water. But they preferred
a Confederate Brigadier General for
United States Senator. Now that
Schurz speaks against imitation Democ-
racy, the followers of that party sud-
denly discover that he is "hireling," !"
"selling himself TO the money power. -
They praised the man when they
thought him an enemy to the Republi-
can party; now that they find him its
friend, they treat him with the vilest
abuse.

KIRKWOOD TOWNSHIP.
OCTOBER 4, 1875.

OCTOBER 4, 1919.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE-The questions
involved in the present political cam
paigD, are the absorbing topics of the
day. Shall we have sound currency,
and the perpetuity of our free school
system in Ohio guaranteed To us by the
election of honest and caPable men to
Office at the coming election-Or shall
we bid adieu to freedom, by allowing
a party that has formed an affiliation
for the sake of a few votes) with the
sworn enemies of our schools, to come
into power, and thus place another foul
blot upon the escutcheon of our noble
State! Methinks 1 already hear the
measured tread of three hundred and
fifty thousand voters in Ohio, march
ing to the ballot-box, ballot in hand,
for Gen. Hayes & Co., to save us from
this threatened dilemma. Old Kirk
wood may safely be put down for al
least one hundred majority for General
Hayes-a sound currency, and an un.
divided school fund. There are few
of the" "bleating, unterrified" here, who
when they get fully inflated occasion
ally, 'Rah for Bill Allen and the
Gig-em Bill;' but it is only faint
squeak, and 'Allen and Gig-em,' as
they call them, will take their Catholic
hybrid and travel up the same river to.
gether, after the 18th inst, else we miss
our guess. But we do not propose tC
argue the question here, we wait fol
Hon. ID. and Capt. T., to come as an.
nounced, and tell the people all about
it. Come on, gentlemen, the latch
string is out. -.
Farmers are busy now saving the
corn-fOdder, and making sorghum mo.
lasses. With plenty of potatoes, mo-
lasses, buckwheat cakes, and spare-ribs,
we hold ourselves in readiness for iu-
bilee over the defeat of the Democratic
ticket this fall.
The general health of the people of
this community is better than a few
weeks ago. There has been a good
deal of diptheria and dysentery, but
the health prospect is better.
A smaller area of wheat than usual
has been sown. Some farmers are prac-
ticing the theory that small area well
titled is much better than large sur
face carelessly skinned over.
Mr.. j. X. Murphy, Mr.. Samuel
Groves, and Mr.. p. G. Myers, have
each built nice and comic, table resi-
dence during the past summer.
The tobacco crop has been saved in
good condition, Notwithstanding the
recent frost, which swooped down upon
Us, changing the forest leaves to varie-
gated colors, reminding us that autumn
is here.
The recent rains, with the genial
sunshine, is bringing on the wheat
nicely. CITIZEN.

THE Democratic papers charge that
the national banks make enormous
sums of money, and that they have ex.
traordinary privileges. But if that is
so, the privileges are open to all. They
are not a monopoly. Any one with
the requisite capital can start a nation
al bank, if he chooses. If the privi-
leges are 80 great, and the chance for
making money 50 enormous, why do
not the Democrats take hold of the
chance?

REPUBLICANS! to your guns. Stand

the enemy. Why should there be:
You have ticket composed of uneX-

faith, why then for a moment think
of doing else than supporting your own
friends. Stand by the men who stand

IF the premium on gold has materi-
ally advanced since the beginning Of
the present campaign, it is because OF
the unsettled condition of our currency.
The Democracy of this State propose to
issue an unlimited quantity of green
backs, so as to afford better opportunity
to Wall Street spectators, to traffic in
them. The success of the infiationists
in Ohio would undoubtedly initiate gold
and in the same proportion increase the
cost of all the necessaries of life.

THE Gazette, as usual, was neck deep
in its filth last week. Because Capt.
P. Tallman saw fit to make two or
three Republican speeches upon invi-

became necessary for the imp of that

abuse him. This same dirty little
sheet was lavish in his praise when he
furnished the brains to defend the

To Republicans of Belmont County
one serious word. Do any of you
contemplate voting anything else but
straight, clean Republican ticket ?
Let US ask, if you do, why? Is the
well being of your County and State OF
such subordinate importance that you
will sink all your patriotic impulses
out of sight, for the mere qualification
of some slender personal consideration.
We implore you weigh calmly the i'm
port of your action. What claim has
the unscrupulous enemy ukon your
confidence and support? Can you point
to single man on the Democratic tick
ct that h,.s ever done else than oppose
you and that line of policy you regard
ed as essential to the perpetuity and
happiness Of your country. Is it not a
solemn duty you owe yourselves and
your children that by word, act, ard
influence you send down free from un-
hallowed touch the nursery of the ma
tion-our free schools--aud give pros
perity to yourself and to your people
honest money, rather than by yonr
vote encourage the enemies of both.
Quit you like men-be hOneSt-be true
be right.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1875-10-07

REMEMBER, when Democrat asks
you to vote for any man on their tick
ct, that every man on the Democratic
ticket would support Democratic party
measures, whether they be to give aid
and comfort to an armed foe of the
government; to refuse to appropriate a
dollar or cent to sustain loyal soldiery
to crushing out a democratic rebellion;
to resist draft; to discourage enlist
ment; to send greetings to their breth-
ern in the South; to repudiate the ma
tional debt or bring reproach upon the
national honor.

TAXPAYERS, who think of voting
the Democratic County ticket should
remember that there is a bequest to
them of $24,50O outstanding bonds
through the inefficiency, mismanage-
ment and fraud of Democratic officials,
on the WarnOck and SomertOn pixies,
yet unpaid. S17 900 of this Indebtedness
is on the Somerton read, and 1900 on
the Warnock's. The five years limit
during which levy could be made on
the property holders on the line of the
roads having expired, it is contended
that a general levy will have to be
made to meet these outstanding bonds.

Court which will determine the ques-
ton. Do you want more of this Dem.

THE arrogant Democracy are already
proclaiming their confidence in a ma
majority of thirty thousand for their
ticket in this State, and that blatant
sheet, the Cincinnati Enquirer, puts it
as high as fifty thousand. Republicans
let it be made manifest at the polls
that none of that majority can
come from Belmont County. Let every
Republican do his duty, and victory
is ours.
