The distinguished success of his
administration, which, to the fame
of the patriot and soldier, has added
that of the capable and judicious
statesman, entities General Grant to
the gratitude of his countrymen-
Republican platform.
"The exposition of corruption and
frauds has created in the minds of
many a distrust and desire for a
change of leaders, &c."-Eaton Reg
tster NoU. 5, 1874.
SIT is unquestionably true, (disa-
greeable as the fact may be to Re
publicans,l that for more than four
years the National Administration
has been CORRUPT BEYOND
PRECEDENT"-Eaton Register,
Jan'y, 4,1S74.
"What other party than the mod
ern democrats could successfully cary
such loads as Credit Mobilier, Sal
airy Grab Notifies, Iniquity, San
born Richardson contracts, Williams,

Nov. II, 1874.
Now we ask every honest and in
telligent voter in Preble county, to
contrast the declarations of the Re
publican State Convention, that nom,
mated Hayes for Governor, with
those of the Eaton Register. This
same journal now floats at its head
as editor, an office-holder under this
rotten and thieving administration.
and his chief effort is to make the
tax-ridden farmers and laboring men
of Preble comfy believe that, what
that paper solemnly declared'a short
time ago, was a lie, and that they
should march to the polls and sc
vote. If men are mere machines
if one year they can be told by this
party organ, that the party they plac
ed in power is corrupt beyond pre-
cedent," and that a "change is desir
ed,"-and the next year, deny it ant
persuade them to still vote that par
ty in power, what is the electiv,
franchise worth! If the Eaton Reg
lister was controlled by any other per
son than one who is holding offic
under this unprecedented corrupt
administration, there might be som,
excuse for such a fragrant outrag,
upon the independence and honesty
of its readers. All we ask of the in
= dependent and liberal voters of thi
county, is to read the Endorsement
of the Republican Convention o
3 Grants administration, and then tn
comments of the Register upon it
distinguished success" and if the,
can continue to swallow it, then tn
Lord have mercy upon their robbed
tax-ridden and oppressed souls, i
our prayer!

The Republican party is common
cling to reduce the public debt again,
and publish monthly statements.
They always do prior to an election.
If the debt had been reduced at the
rate they always claim for it before an
election, the confounded thing would
have been overpaid long ago. The
people can't be fooled by them any
more, though, thank goodness, and
all their blowing about reducing
the debt is simply bumcomb, fol
electioneering purposes, and no heed
is paid to it.

Slang and ~scurrility are the weap-
ons employed by Republican editors
in this campaign. They have no IT.
gumcnts with which to go before the
people, and they seek to divert pub
lie attention from the issues invol-
we'd in the contest, by the most dis
graceful and demoralizing appeals to
the passions and prejudices of their
readers, but although that kind of a
dodge may have been successful in
other years, it will not win in this
contest, because the people know that
the leaders of the Republican party
are responsible for the hard times.
and they will vote for more money.

pairs of boots stolen therefrom. On
Saturday the thief was arrested at
Richmond, Ind, and the plumber

A prominent Republican in Eaton
was heard to remark the other day
that, "the Democrats have us on the

playing out, and I must confess it

Cling for the prosperity of the pro.

the rich banker and bondholder.

Every poor man, whether laborer,
mechanic, farmer or professional
man, who favors and votes for Hayes
and his ticket, is voting for his
enemy-an enemy who is daily tight
en:ng the chains already coiled "a
bout him. So there is no excuse fol
a man who will vote for his own i'm,
prisonment. Time and the condi
ton of the country, together with the
circumstances of the laboring man
go TO prove this. Be not deceived
by their promises and lies, but vote
the ticket whose candidates are
pledged to the interests of the labor
ing classes.

The Republican editors presume
largely upon the gullability of their
readers, when they fill their papers
with slang about Governor Allen,
yituperation concerning the Demo
cratic party and falsehoods generally,
and expect such stuff will be receiV-
ed as arguments why the oppressed
farmers, mechanics and laborers
should vote for Hayes, and to con-
tinue in power the party that has
marked its history by broken prom
Uses and unredeemed pledges, and is
the cause of the present stagnation
in business and scarcity of money.
These leaders will discover their
mistake on the second Tuesday Of
October.

1t costs the country twenty mill,
ions of dollars yearly to keep up the
Republican system of National
Banks. This vast amount is drawn
from the people as interest, and the
Banks issue a currency which is re-
deemable by greenbacks. To such
a system the Democracy is opposed.
The National Banks are the "leaden
weights that fetter industry and sti-
file enterprise"

REPUBLICAN POLICY.

Let the Government take care of

REPUBLICAN POLICY.
Tax the farmers and laboring men,
but lay no burdens on the rich bond
holder, How do you like it, We men
who till the soil, dig in ore banks
and coal mines, ye men who labor
for your daily bread?
LABORING MEN,
We who are the true source of wealth
to the nation, can you tell why you
are out of employment, why Furna-
ces and Mills and manufactures are
idle? 1t is because Republican lead
ers have
MADE MONEY SCARCE
that rich men may grow richer.
How long will you continue to vote
for the party leaders who pursue this
policy? 1t may do well to call Dem
ocrats slang names and try to be
witty and funny, but the time has
come when the
LABORING MEN
who work on farms, in mines of iron
ore, and coal, and work shops, want
money to buy bread and clothing fol
themselves and families, and saying
that Democrats look like thieves, OF
any such slang, will not answer fol
argument nor the cry ofthe Laborer
for Bread! We want
