PRACTICE VS.. PROFESSION.

PRACTICE VS.. PROFESSION.
At each Convention held by the
Republican party, resolutions in fav-
or of REFORM have been passed,
which were promises made to the ear
to be broken to the hope. Each year
since 1860, has witnessed this kind
of performance on the part of Repub-
lican party leaders for the purpose
of deceiving the people, and each
year has been more prolific of ex-
travagance and yillainy than its pre-
d~ecessor, until now, under Grant, the
thieving, and rascality, and corrup-
ton, and e~xtravagant expenditures
of the Government, far eclipse any
other period in the history of the ma
ton, and yet, with an amount Of
"cheek" absolutely surprising, the
leaders of the Republican, Resump-
ton, Starvation party, are again be-
fore the people of this country, pro-
missing REFoRM, and asking voters to
elect Hayes and Wheeler, President
and Vice President.
Reform against themselves! The
very promise premises corruption
and a knowledge of needed Reform!
The leaders have been making these
promises for sixteen years, and each
year matters have been getting worse.
The people have come to the conclu-
sion that there is need of Reform,
and will undertake the work them
selves, by voting out of office ninety
thousand old rats who have been eat
ing "the malt that lay in the house
that Jack built" and putting at the
head of the Government, Samuel J.
Tilden, who is "pizen" to treasury
eaters, thieving rings and corrup-
tionists. The people trusted the Re
publican party sixteen years and
have no REFORM as yet; now they
will make A CHANGE, in the full be-
lief that no change made can make
matters much worse, but may do a
great deal of good by cleaning out
old and corrupt office-holders who
have grown rich by public plumber,
while the laboring classes are becom-
ing poorer every day.
The Republican Platform adopted
at Chicago in 1850, says:
"That the people justly view with
alarm the reckless extravaganza
which pervades every department OF
the Federal Government. That a
return to rigid economy and account
ability is indispensable to arrest the
plumber of the public treasury by
favored partisans, while the recent
startling developments of frauds and
corruptions at the Federal metropo-
lis, show that an ENTIRE CHANGE
of administration is imperatively de-
handed"
Why don't they say So now2 The
people think SO, and at the ballot.
boxes will so determine.
The Ohio Republican Platform Of
1860, said:
IS. That the developments of ex.
travagance and corruption in the ad.
ministration of the national affairs
imposes upon us the important duty
Of casting out those who have proved
faithless, and placing men in power
vino can be relied on to reduce pub.
lie expenditures, lessen the burdens
of taxation and protect the treasu
ry."
No talk then of reforming "within
the party" Nothing but an CENTRE
CHANGE of Administration" would dc
the work. How is it now?

CHANDLER, one of Grants cabinet,

CHANDLER, one of Grants cabinet,
has been selected to run the Hayes
and Wheeler machine. Why2 Be-
cause it is in all essentials an adj
ministration concern. Hayes and
Wheeler and all that support them
Understandings, are committed to
keep the ninety thousand Grant Of
~ficials, Brother-in-law and all in Of
fee. What think of this, voters of
Preble county? A vote for Hayes
and Wheeler is a vote for Grantism,
nepotism and official corruption;
whisky and other rings are expected
to flourish if Hayes is elected. Bah
cocks, Belknaps and men of their
stripe will be encouraged. Why not!
If the people, who are all powerful,
support the hackers and endorsers of
the Grant party by electing Hayes
and Wheeler, what can be expected
but that the same policy will produce
the same result. Hayes says in his
letter of acceptance, "that the officer
should be secure in his term as long
as personal character remained I'M
furnished, and the performance of
his duties satisfactory" And this
from an endorser and upholder of
Grantism. A good sentiment iffair-
ly carried out. But in the light Of
recent events what does it meant
Belknap's character was untarnish-
ed" and performance of duties sat
isfactory," or Grant would not have
accepted his resignation with regret.
No, Mr.. Hayes, the voters, the hon-
est voters understand this matter, a
vote for you is a vote for Grant and
corruption. 1t would mean a vote in
favor of all that is past and a pledge
that the same state of affairs should
continue. The issue is fairly made,
Hayes and Grantism or Tilden and
Reform. Choose we.

"But to all arguments for a change
of administration there is one jargon
of reply, which has been stereotyped
for ten years. You need but look at
the headings of the published speech
es of the Republicans to see its drift
Confederate Congress" Anderson
%ville," Libby" Hamburg" "Pay
for Slaves" "Pay Rebel Debt" "Pay
Rebel Claims" dc. Like the red rag
at the Spanish bull-fght, it is flaunt-
ed in every campaign to madden the
people, and blind them to the real
dangers which beset them. 1t seems
tn me that that trick has been played
once or twice too often already.
Now, We all know that the Four
teenth Amendment of the Federal
Constitution prohibits payment for
slaves or of the rebel debts, and that
no party would commit suicide by
proposing to pay for the injuries in
fiicted by our armies in the South, or
to pension rebel soldiers. AS to
Confederate soldiers in Congress l
have this to say: The whole white
population Of the South, with most
rare exceptions, heartily sympathized
with the rebellion. In effect all the
able bodied white men engaged in it.
The Southern States have been adj
mitted to representation in Congress
by the Republican party. Who can
represent them but x-Confederate
soldiers? Must they be compelled
to send to congress only negroes, or
cripples, or men too old or too young
to have served in their army, and
who are now either in dotage or i'm
mature manhood? Our interests as
well as theirs demand that they be
represented in Congress by their best
and ablest men-no matter though
they did take part with their people in
the rebellion-who will speak and act
for their constituents with perfect
freedom and independence, and our
self respect demands that, unless we
intend to strip people of those States
of representation, we spurn this
wretched drivel about Confederate
Congressman. 1t is only the crafty
subterfuge of the leaders Of the Ro-
publican party who can not defend
its action on the great measures af-
fecting the vital interests of the peo-
ple."-Gcn. Etcing at Columbus.

The difference between Tweed,
formerly a Democrat and a big Repub-
lican thief is just this: Tweed was
put into penitentiary by the Demo
cratic local authorities of New York,
whilst the Republican thieves are put
into the largest and best offices by
the Republican administration.

The Records of the Sherif7s office
and Clerks office, previous to the in

much the taxpayers of Preble coun-

Let them recollect this and vote to
continue the wholesome reform insti-
tuted in these two public places.
Those who doubt it can go and see
fol- themselves. The records are not
private property.

AS the bloody shirt organs say W

AS the bloody shirt organs say we
are going to have reform under
Hayes, would it not be in order for
their leaders to give us a little of it
now, just to prove their sincerity?
We strongly suspectthat Cameron,
Shepherd, Babcock, Chandler, Conk-
ling & Co., in case of Hayes cleo
ton will be just the same gang, no
matter how many promises of reform
they make now.

This Sarsaparillai is q combination Of
vegetable alternatives = Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock-with the Iodides
Of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
~eficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is SO mild
as to be harmless ever to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and a many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

There are many outrages perpetra-
ted in the south which the radical
papers do not grab for with avidity.
When radical negroes attack and

ical friends in the north hardly rec
ognize the act as an outrage.

There was a sick lot of Hayesites
in Eaton Saturday last. Never mind
boys, you will be sicker yet after the
November vote is counted out. The

organization"

Speaking of Mr.. Tilden's income
tax, wouldn't it be we'll to overhaul
the schedule of taxes paid by some of

yet to bring suit for the recovery of
the moneys dishonesty withheld.

The "Swamp Angel of Darke

= Morton is satisfied with the morals
Of Grantism. Why should he not be
satisfied? That corrupt system has
had no more steadfast supporter than
the Senator from Indiana, whose
sense Of the distinction between
right and wrong in politics has been
blunted by long handling of Repub-
lican spoils. He represents his party.

The voice of the people exclaim
with no uncertain sound; We must
have a change. The men who are
stealing our money, closing our
workshops, driving the honest me-

to make room for honest men. The
Republican party has out lived its
usefulness. A change must be had.

A BLIND GUIDE.

Mr.. Howard will prove a very un-
reliable leader for the Republican vo-
ter. He claimed in his speech on
Friday evening that the present ed
ministration was $4,000 900 more
economical than Buchanan's.
Mr.. Mcmahon exploded Mr.. How
ard ON this point by reading from
Hon. Charles Fosters speech in the
last Congress. Mr.. Foster was one
of the Republican leaders in the last
session, and a prominent member of
the Appropriation Committee.
MI. Foster admitted that, after de-
Quoting the interest on the public
debt and the pension appropriations,
(which amonts to one hundred and
twenty-eight millions the expenses
of Grants Administration exceeded
those of Buchanan's sixty-one mil
lions. Mr.. Foster accounted, or
tried to account for this increase in
the following extraordinary manner:
Expenses incident to the
war" S4Z,OOO,UUO
Natural growth, etc 100000
New service 100000
Total $61, 600, 900
Mr.. Howard processes to be a can
did man. He is probably ignorant
of the facts. But we commend to
him acarcful reading of Mr.. Fosters
speech. And after reading it, we
hope no will discontinue his efforts
to show that the present Administra-
tion is run cheaper than previous
ones. That is rather a strong as
sertion for even the most radical.
The truth is that everything is down
to anti war prices except the cost Of
government.-Dayton Democrat.
