That's the doctrine the Democracy

LOOK OUT. Rumors of Democratic
frauds are current, and eUery poll
should be guarded. Let no confidence
in the integrity of the opposition pre-
vent you from watching them, and by
all means wait and see that the ticket
you give the judges is deposited IN the
ballot bor. Tickets have been changed
in going from the hands of the voter
to the ballot box, by experts, and all
such chicancry should be guarded
against, The law will compel the
judges of election to permit from one
to three friends of the candidats to be
present tn the room with the judges,
to see that everything is conducted
fairly. See to it that this right is con-
ferred upon you q, every poll. If you
are refused, refer them to Swan and
Critchfield, page SAG, where the follow
ing provision of the law will be found
SKC. XIII. The judges of election
shall, if requested, permit the respect

ceeding three of their friends, to be

THE TENTH DISTRICT
EXPECTS EVERY RE-
PUBLICAN TO DO HIS
DUTY ON TUESD A Y
NEXT.

You KNOW that every ten years real
estate is re valued; the Price is in
creased or reduced in proportion to the
prosperity which each locality enjoys.
The re valuation of Hancock county
showed a large increase, and the same
rate of taxation as existed before the
re valuation produ ,es much more
money. Now, if the amount raised
before the re valuation was sufficient
TO meet the county expenses, why
is this additional amount taken from
the people3 Why is not the rate re-
duced? The county roads don't show
any improvement, the bridges are not
superior to the old time; the county
officers are not more efficient, but the
levy goes on all the same, and the peo-
pie still bear the burdens of their
rulers. Vote for the Republican ticket
and bring about change in these
matters.

Democracy have been in power long
enough in this county to demonstrate
their ability to govern it with economy
and prudence; yet the amount of taxes
collected from the people increases
yearly. Apply their own argument,

and may do much better. Give them

ON NO ACCOUNT STAY
AWAY FROM THE POLLS
ON ELECTION DAY.

EVERYWHERE the skies are bright
ening, business is reviving, and conf
dence is becoming more assured.
Workmen are obtaining employment,
and there is rejoicing at firesides where
grim visaged want was intruding his
malignant countenance. Now, if the
Republican administration was respon-
sible for the depressed business condi-
ton of the country for three years past,
give it due credit for the revival OF
business, and the bright prospects
ahead. Even Democratic stupidity
ought to be willing to do that much.
But instead, they deny the revival OF
business, and paiLt the future dark as
q thunder cloud.

THE COURIER CLAIMS CONNECTI.

The desperation to which the Corr-

untruthfulness. No other reason

keep up the courage of its adherents.
And now it publishes with the same

THR fight made by the Democracy
upon Colonel Milton Barnes, our can
didate for Secretary of the State,
has been based upon lies of the most
unfounded description. They were
begotten and put forth from the Office
Of William Bell, Democratic Secretary
of State, and for no other purpose than
to effect his defeat if possible because
first, it wonld be good thing for Bell;
second, because Barnes heads the Re
publican ticket, and if he could be de-
feated, the Democracy could claim it
asa defeat for Hayes, and go into the
fight with more vigor for the Presiden-
tial Canvass-hence their. desperation.
First, they charged Barnes with intro
ducing a bill into the Legislature to
prevent members of secret societies
and Hebrews from sitting on iuries.
But when they discovered that Barnes
had never been a member of the Legis-
lature, they had to amend their story
and now you never see it in tha' shape.
The amended story is that he was an
active co worker with the opponents
of secret societies, and had signed
petition to the Legislature to pass
law disfranchising them. sc. To this
charge Mr.. Barnes replied pronouncing
it false in every particular, and anounc-
ing himself as member of several Sc
cret societies. This was followed by
card from members of the various Sc
cret societies in Mr.. Barnes town, pro-
nouncing him all right. Yet notwith-
standing ali this, the Democracy repeat
the storyfrcm day to day and their jour
nails adhere to it upon the principle
''that lie well stuck to as good a. the
truth" Don't on any account per
init yourself to scratch his name from
the ticket. A vote against linn is prac
ticially vote against Hayes.

owing to the economical character of
the Democratic House, which prevent
ed the passage of appropriation in

case had appropriations been made in
