The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05
Campaign Notes.

Thirty millions of dollars saved by
the Democracy IN one year
TnDEN clubs are rapidly increasing in
number among the colored people in the
South. The Vicksburg Herald reports
several in that section of Mississippi.
Nor single Democratic vote has been
polled at Vergennes, Vermont, during
the last ten years. At the last election
seventy-seyen Democratic votes were
thrown.
HERE'S another case of intimidation in
the South. The President of the HAYES
and Wheeler Club at Hartford, North
Carolina, has been indicted for larceny
and put in jail
The New York Graphic calls upon the
Republican leaders to " "charge along the
whole line," and the Worcester Press
says: "That's just what they are doing
charging two per cent"
THAT there is no conflict between the
negro and the white races in the South,
except such as is created and kept alive
by Republicans, for political purposes, is
absolutely proven by the harmony ex-
lstlng between the races wherever the
Democracy is in the ascendency.
HAYES and Wheeler are taking like
wild6re" in Salem. A club has lust
been organized there consisting, all told,
OF one mail contractor, one postmaster,
two deputy postmasters, and one revenue
agent. Their motto is, Reform within
the party"
The people versus the office-holders,
reform versus the continuance of old
abuses, honesty and economy versus dis
honesty and waste; these are the live is
sues of the canvass of 1876 all over the
country. Every true man who seeks to
remove the wrong and establish the right
will vote the Democratic ticket, and SO
insure the long hoped for and greatly
needed change in the Federal Admins
tration.
LOUISVILLE Cowier-Jomnal: A Co.
lumbus letter-writer adds to descrip-
tion of the Radical candidate for Presi-
dent: Thus you have Gov. Hayes, a
man among thousand, to be singled
out for one who would lend willing ear
to story of distress" And the last one
among the thousand, too, to lend to that
distress anything more substantial than
a willing ear. Distress finds no relief
in the wealth of millionaire controlled
by the instincts of an ayaricious pauper.
The story that Hayes contributed
$50, 900 to the Ohio Crusaders two years
ago is absurd. He was with them in
spirit but not in pocket. He is of the
style of man who keenly serutinizes
every dollar bill he receives, smooths il
lovingly, folds it carefully, and deposits
it confidently in pocket-beok with 8
strap which winds several times around
it. That style of man wouldn't lend 8
dollar to the Lord without taking mort
gage and deducting the interest in ad
vance.
THE Republican party has been il
power sixteen years and have been goin,
from bad to worse. They haven't quietet
the country they haven't united the sec
tions; they haven't paid the nationa
debt; they haven't improved the cur
rency they haven'teven kept the powe
conided to them they haven't reforme,
the civil service; they haven't puuishe
criminals, but excused, defended, an
pardoned them. The people demand
change, and they will have it as sure a
the ides of November come round.
The country is bitterly ashamed of il
Boss Shepherds. its Schencks, its Be
knaps, its Babcocks, its Delanos, Harrins
tons, Orvil Grants, Colfax's, Indian rim
swindles, straw-bid swindles, crooke
whisky frauds, soldiers headstone fraud
post-tradership frauds, safe burglarie
and all manner of uncleanliness. 1t
bitterly ashamed of all this, and desires
change. Grant and Taft, call out the ma
shals, and the deputy specials, and th
troops, and say there shall be no chang
but that the frauds and swindles shall 2
