GRAND RALLY!

GEN. HAYES, the Republican candi-
date for Governor will positively be
here, and probably other eminent
speakers to address the people, on
Tuesday afternoon next, 7th inst, on
the great political questions of the
day now being agitated, and in which
all are interested.
Everybody, Republicans and Demo
Gratis, are respectfully invited and
earnestly requested to come in and
hear. Governor Hayes is an able and
eloquent speaker, and if any voter,
Republican or Democrat, white Or col
Ored, is in doubt as to the correctness
of policy of the political parties on
the questions at issue, he should by all
means come out on Tuesday and hear
what Gen. Hayes has to say on these
great issues. Do not let any thing
within your control prevent you from
availing yourselves of this Opportuni
ty for hearing speech fron one of
our noblest pratriots, a general who
was brave and generous on the field of
battle in defense of his country dur
ing the late struggle with rebels for
its salvation, and who served his ma
tive State two terms as it's Governor
so acceptably to the people that not a
sentence has ever been uttered against
him to mar the name and fame of his
administration, even by those who op-
posed his election at the ballot box
No official ever filled an office that gave
better satisfaction to the people than
Governor Hayes, and no official ever
retired from the highest honors of the
State with a more honorable record.
Come out, then, on Tuesday after
noon next, and hear our old General
and late Governor of our State. Lay
aside your business, hitch up you
teams and bring all your families, anG
be on hand at one o'clock p. m. lie
every corner of the County be fully
represented, and let us have an old
fashioned Republican reunion, ant
give our gallant and pratriotic candi
date for Governor hearty and cor
dial reception on Tuesday.

Great Bank Failure.

The California Bank failed last week
for $6,O0O,00O This bank was char
tered by the California Legislature
Had it been National Bank it could
not have failed for any such sum, as
these banks are secured for all their
issues by Government Bonds held at
Washington City. 1t is the policy of
the Democratic party to abolish the
National Bank, and as a result, finally
to return to the old State and Wild
cat system of banking. Are the peo
pie of this country willing to exchange
the best banking system ever this Gov
ernment had, for the old rotten system
we used to have before the Inauguration
of National Banks We are slow to be
lieve they are ready for a retregrade
movement of this kind.

- How is it that farm that could
have been sold a year or so ago in
this county for $50 per acre, and
which the owner refused to sell for
$95, can not now be sold for $50 per
acre ?-Register.
The only way we account for it, Bro.
Beasley, is by the fact that the Demo
cratic party has been running the State
of Ohio for just about SO year or SO :"
and if that party can depreciate the
value of property to that extent in so
brief control of affairs, VIII at would
be the state of things at the end OF
anoth er term of Democratic rule in
the State? And how long would it
take to bankrupt the country at that
rate? Please sit down and figure q
little, Bro. Beasley. The people of
Fayette County would be glad to know
the exact rate at which the value OF
their property will be deprecated un-
der Democratic rule, before they vote
to continue the party in power anoth-
er term in this State.

To the Voters Of FaV0tte C0uHtYa-Th
GehRm Catholic Law

To the Voters of F9YOtte COuatys-The
GehRn Catholic LaVEo
The Fayette County Democratic Central
Committee have requested ~ to publish from
this date until the October election, the Ge-
hsn Law, passed at the last session of the Ohis
Legislature. The law has been heretofore pub
lishsd in the HERALD; but We eheerfully com
ply with the request.
It is we'll enough to state, as we have done
on former occasions, that the Gehan Law, sim
ply of itself, does not amount to very much; ;
but the bill was passed in obedience to the de-
mands of the Bishops and Priests, and in the
interest of the Catholic Church, Nobody else
asked for the passage Of such q law. 1t was
demanded by the Catholic priesthood OF the
Democratic Legislature of our State, and pass
ed by it under threats of Withdrawing the
Catholic vote from the Democratic party at the
election, and thus leaving the party without
its ally that gives it prepondersncs in the
State. In proof of what We say we here pub
lish an extract from letter written by GshAn
himself to Mr.. Murphy, on the subject, and
also some extracts from the Cincinnati Cath
Ole Telegraph:

cations to US, and we have perfect right to
| demand of them, as party, inasmueh - they
are control of the State Legislature and
State government, and we, by both our means

''The political party with which nine-tenthe
/ of the Catholic voters affiliate on account OF
past services that they will never forget now
controls the State. Withdraw the support
which Catholics have given to it, and it will
fall in this city, county and State, as speedily
as it has risen to its long. lost position and
power. That party is now upon trial. Mt
Gehan's bill will test the sincerity Of its pro-
| fessions."- Catholic Telegraph, under super
vision of Archbishop Pursell.
The Democrats whO dared to vote sgainSt
the Catholic Gehan Bill ct the command of the
Catholic Church, have this notice served upon
them by the Catholic Telegram:
'When Gny Of them appear in the political are

"It will be glorious day for Catholics in this
country, when under the laws Of justice ane
morality, our school system shall be shiv"re6
! to atoms; until then, modern psgani sm will

These extracts show the power of the Gath
Olic Church upon the Democratic Legislature,
and the ready submissiveness of that body o
the dietatiOn of the Catholic Church when il
threatened the withdrawal of the Catholic
vote from the party.

So far as the school question is con
cerned the Catholic Telegraph makes
the issue plain in its issue of August
&c. 1t says.
1--WE have agitated, and shall contin-
ue to agitate, for our share of the
school fund as long as we are taxed
to support schools which Catholic
children can not attend. We look in
the future for the abolition of this ter
rible grievance, not from any party
nor from politicians like Judge Taft,
but from majority of citizens, who,
regardless of party, will be willing to
do US justice"
This confirms all that was alleged in
Judge Taft's Cleveland speech. He
asserted that it was the purpose of the
Catholic clergy to keep up the agita
ton until the division Of the school
| fund on a sectarian basis should be
accomplished. The pretense of the
Telegraph that it does not look to the
Democratic party to accomplish its
ends is pretty thin. Mr.. Geghan stated
the relation of the Church to the party
when he said the former had "a prior
claim" upon it. The Church had
been the auxiliary of the party, and
the party was expected to come to the
rescue of the Church. The Church
must work through human instrument
alities, and finding in the Democ ratio
party the one most willing to comply
with its demands, as in the case of the
Geghan Bill, it naturally afiliates with
that party. This is the secret of the
alliance of sympathy and interest be
tween the party and the Church. Ii
the reliance to do the Catholics justice
in the matter of the division of the
school fund had been upon citizens
irrespective of party, what necessity
existed for pledged of the solid, IN
broken Catholic vote to the Democrat.
