Two years ago, when Mr.. EDISON
ran as the Independent candidate
for Representative, the Republican
Ringmaster's abused him f~earfully.
By their nomination of him fol
Senator this year, the leaders proved
that all they said about him were
lies; and they were willing to sup
port him and his vote for the Geghan
bill, without a why or wherefore
Edison is vindicated, and great is
Republicanism in Preble County!

Even Senator John Sherman is

Editor Of Democrdt-In your is
sue of last week you ask if Samuel
Oldfather was i~ncapacitated for store
keeper while employed by Govern
ment at my Distillery, how could he
be entrusted with the complicated
affairs of the county. 1t affords me
pleasure to say that he was in no way
incapacitated for such duty, but was
fully competent to discharge all his
duties as Store Keeper, and I only
reply to the card above referred to
in order that the voters may have a
full and proper understanding of
this matter. He is both honorable
and honest, and is fully capable of
filing the Office of Auditor or any
other office within the gift o the peo-
pie of Preble- county.
PERRY TURNER.
In the above communication sign
ed by Mr.. Turner, (Which he did not
write the all important question We
asked in regard to Mr.. Oldfather, is
entirely ignored and avoided. We
wanted to know of the editor of the
Eaton Register "why he dismissed
Mr.. Oldfather from the Distillery of
Mr.. Turner a few years ago as Store
Keeper" Mr.. Turner steps forward
800
and says he was in "no way incapac-
lated for such duty" athing no one
has called-in question. We assert
what we said before, that if MI. Old
father was dismissed from his posi-.
ton for unfaithfulness, he is not o
proper person to fill the Office of Aud
itor. Let MIR. Turner or the editor
of the Register answer if he was dis
missed, and why?-[ED. Dem.

After the Radicals Of this county
had abused Mr.. Edison for two solid
years-after he had voted for the
Geghan Bill, the Pierson Bill and to
change the Adair Law-theyn omina-

and a clean party vote! Voters OF
Preble County, what do you think OF
the honesty and consistency of such
party leaders?

ANOTHER CANDIDATE !

After considerable roofing around
the Revenue Collectors and able-bo-
died Pensioners of this Senatorial
District, have dug out a victim to
patch up their ticket. He was found
over in Germantown engaged in the
dry goods business, and JOHN A.
|ZERING is his name. We were a lit
tie uneasy least there would be no
opposition to Judge HAINEs. They
swore JOHN that he would stick, be-
fore announcing his name, and we
can therefore rely upon the patch
adhering. OF course there is not
the ghost of a chance for the fellow,
and he was only put on fill up and be-
come a sacrifice for the Money Pow.

were so foolish as to vote for taratio1
and starvation for themselves ant

The Radicals of Ohio are reduced
to a terrible strait. The "cross
bones" of the war being nc longer
able to hold their rotten and demon
allied party together, and the cry of
"No Popery" failing to get the Far

and hear their speakers make lieing
promises, they have resorted to the
miserable humbug of offering roast

ing premiums in gold, to induce these
poor tax-ridden people to come out
and hear how the rich can be made
richer and the poor poorer. In this
county roasted Ok and a banner is
offered if the people will come and

The supe of the ring that sent the
dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette,
stating that Gen. Cary,,s speech was
so vulgar that the ladies of the
audience left the room, simply told
a bold and infamous lie, but as he

together with a yacuity of brain,
Divine Providence will doubtless
number him with the heather and
not hold him responsible.

The Bankers and Bondholders,
not satisfied with the enormous in
t%erest, want their Bonds payable in
GOLD, and the Republican leaders
controlled by the HONEY Pow
Err, yielded to the demand of the
shylocks and passed a law for the
resumption of specie payments on
the LIST of January 1879! Immedi-
ateIy CONTRACTION of the cur
rency began, and rich men COM
menced boarding up their paper dol
lars so that they could get gold for
them when the suspicious day ar
rived. Money became scarcer as
Contraction went on, until the en-
terprise and industry of the country
became paralyzed, and thousands of
laborers were thrown out of en-
ployment, because there was no de-
mand for the products of their skill
and labor, for the reason that there
was not money sufficient in circula-
ton to do the business of the coun-
try.
Now what the Democrats demand
is that the internal system of

THEN NOW.

Why Is it that lands, some five
years ago, were worth from sixty to
seventy dollars per acre, and the
same lands are now worth only from
thirty to forty dollars per acre2
These lands are now as productive
asthey were then, and in general
improvement the County has not
went back, and yet real estate de-
clines. What has caused this de-
cline? The Republicans and Bank
ers say we have money enough, and
consequently they claim that con-
traction, with a view to a forced re-
turn to specie basis has nothing to
do with the decline, but what is it?
The laboring man is vitality interest
ed in the solution of this question,
and should therefore look into the
matter closely. The truth is, capt.
tai rules labor, and has graduated
the price of it for the last several
years; and as the circulating medi-
um is contracted, the more valuable
the Bonds become, under the monop-
oily of the National Bank charter, and
correspondingly the value of labor
is deprecated. In proof of this as
sertion, the following statistics Oh
the volume of circulating medium Of
the United States, Great Britain,
Germany and France, in proportion
to the population, will satisfy any
one:
United States per capita, $16.72
England 24.2S
Germany 1890
France 34.62
This table explains the matter t,
the satisfaction of all laboring men
We want more money to accommodate
the legitimate ends of trade, and
further contraction, with a view t.
forced specie basis, will bankrup
the nation.

ALBERT =. HUBBARD.

This gentleman whose name heads
this paragraph, is presented to the
Independent voters of Preble County
as a candidate for the position of
Probate Judge. 1t having come to
our knowledge that certain persons
in the pay of the Ringmasters are
circulating largely over the county
statements that Mr.. Hubbard, if
elected, will be incompetent to dis
charge the duties of the office, we.
feel it our duty to present the follow
ing facts for the information OF the
people. Mr.. Hubbard was chief
clerk of the Probate Court of Darke
County for two years, and was in
1.-THE same office in .this county with
Judge Cans, near four years, thus
giving him an experience OF the
duties of the office of over two
terms. He was assistant in the
fTreasurer's office in this county,
with Joseph Brewer, Col. Williams,
DIR. Ebersole, and during q vacancy
run the office himself for a year and
a half. He was Deputy Clerk of this
coumty for one wear, and acted as
deputy for Sheriff Mccleaf for one
year. in all of these positions, Mr..
Hubbard has given the most entire
satisfaction 10 his employers. His
knowledge of the law as administer
ed in the Probate Court, learned by
six years experience, is greatly in
advance of that of his opponent, and
his thorough and practical knowl-
edge of general business, and fami-
liari.y with bookkeeping, give GER
tain assurance of entire ability to fill
the office for which he is offered. This
is Mi. Hnbbard's record, and we know
of nothing to especially recommend
his radical opponent, save the fac
that as a State Senator he was {
miserable failure, and as an inUaltt
pensioner he is a mistake.
In connection with the above, w
tgive place to the following letter o
Endorsement of our candidate, from
an uncompromising Radical o

Dear SIR. As an old friend, /
feel like congratulating you on the
nomination Of your son, Albert, for
the office of Probate Judge of Preble
County; and, although he is, accord
ing to my way of thinking, on the
wrong side politically; yet on ae-
count of the warm personal friend
ship that has always existed be-
tween us, l can not but wish him
success, if a man on that side is to
be elected. And further, he served
as clerk for me two years, while !
was Probate Judge of this county,
and thus enables me to know and to
say that he will fill the office, if
elected, with credit to himself and
satisfaction to the people, for he is
industrious, steady, honest, correct
and eyeryway capable. I repeat,
therefore, that / congratulate you
and wish Albert success as | have
said, if a man on the other sids IS to
be chosen.
