Bic Meeting.

The Democrats had a rcusing
meeting on Monday last-the city
Hall was packed-every inch of va
cant space was taken up and many
could not enter it. Hon. CAssIUs NJ.
CLAY made a telling speech and sent
home to the Republicans truths that
made them feel for their disgraced
country and its Frustrated condition.
He is a forcible speaker-an orator
"a man of intellect and power, and
his remarks will have their effect.
He was followed in a very able and
eloquent speech from Gen. DURBIN
WARD. The meeting was a splendid
success, and proves that the Demo
cracy of Preble are alive. The Cam
den Band was present and enlivened
the meeting with its excellent music.
Hurrsh for Tilden!

EFeemen.

What party has controlled affairs
Of the Nation for the past sixteen
years? The Republican party. Who
has levied and collected enormous
taxes, given away millions of acres of
our public lands plundered the Ma
tional Treasury, squandered our rev.
enues, p~aralyzed our industries, clos
ed our mines rolling mills, furnaces,
FORCES and workshops, and brought
our people to starvation, bankruptcy
and ruin; thrown thousands of hon.
est men out of work and banished
them from their homes to tramp
upon every thoroughfare and high.

ment? Is it not the Republican party
that is responsible for all this stag

cry and woe? You know it is, and
will you continue to support and

robbed and taxed to starvation
Your only salvation is TO vote against
the whole crew.

Look out for all kinds of Icing state
ments in regard to our candidates
for Sheriff, Commissioner and mfr

election. The Ring is desperate

ment of MI. Chambers has Disguised
many honest Republicans, and they
will scruple at nothing to elect the
men who have pledged the spoils of
the office to sustain their organiza-
ton! Pay no attention to reports,
but vote for the men whom you know
will do their duty honestly and faith
fully, and who are pledged to no Ring
or party.

Howard.

Howard is making greenback
speeches in this county and hard
money ones in Dayton and. else
where. The Dayton Journals re-
port Of what Mr.. Howard said when
he accepted the nomination, is as
follows:
"The nomination was more unex-
pected than it could possibly have
been TO any other man in the district.
1t had not been his desire to receive
the nomination, and he had not made
the least effort for it. 1t was only
when he had learned of the difficulty
they had in choosing from the candi-
dates before them to-day lie had re-
solved to accept the nomination.
He endorsed the principles Of the
platform Of the National Republican
Convention IN Cincinnati and ON
THOSE PRINCIPLES HE INTENDED TO
MAKE THE FIGHT.
The Cincinnati platform is decid-
edly against all greenbacks. Howard
of Preble goes back or it-but How
ard of Dayton don't!. Do the people
of this country proposed to be fooled
in that way into the support of more
contraction and harder times?

MeanneSs.

During an experience Of twenty
five years in the newspaper business,
we never until the present day found
an Editor so party bound, so narrow
and bigoted, SO contemptibly little
and ungenerous, as to advocate pro-
.scribing a man because he saw fit to
attend a political meeting of either
or any party. This depth of party
bigotry and ~littleness has been left
for ROBERT WILLIAMS, Jr., Grants
Revenue Collector for the Third Dis
trict and pretended editor of the
Eaton Register. DENNIS LEwELLEN,
in connection with some official BUSH
ness, made it convenient to attend
Mr.. McMAHoN's meeting at West
Alexandria, and for this privilege Of
a freeman, Mr.. WILLIAMS asks the
independent Republicans of Preble
county to get down to everything
that is contemplate, mean, narrow
and bigoted, and vote against him
Is there a Republican whose soul is
so crampcd and small that he would
do such q little act? We do not be-
lieve it. We cannot think it.
Mr.. LFwELLEN has attended nearly
every Republican meeting held in
the Court House during the cam
prign-lightcd the lamps and prepar-
| ed the room for some-rang the bell
for others-and if there is a Demo,
crat in Preble county that would

doing, we bid him go among the
pie7bald band of thieves, robbers and
proscriptionists, that train in the

eral and little souled creatures in our
party. Prescribe a man for attend.
ding a Democratic meeting! Oh,
what a depth of political ~littleness,
coming from a man too, whom Den
mis- Lewellen supported for the office
conferred upon him by the people OF
this county and who gave him assis-
lance to place him in his present Of
fetal position!

"McMahon's WaI Record

Is the heading Of a miserable abor-
tion in the shape of Circular issued
from the Eaton Register office on last
Thursday, and posted all over the
town and Fair Ground, at an expense
of $3.50 to the editor of that paper,
with a promise from the young man
that he should not tell where it came
from. But he did! Of course the
thing was a fraud and a leland
that is why no name was attached
and the reason secrecy was enjo.ned

The issues upon US are not war is
sues but peace issues. The practi-
cal questions all the time are:
LIST. Better mel in office.
I'd. Honest and intelligent admin
istration.
Sd. The wal is over.
4th. Officially rogues must be
punished.
9th. No military interference in
elections.
9th. Less taxes and more econo-
my.
7th. The earliest practical re-
sumption Of specie payments.
Sth. Government salaries and pay
to conform to salaries paid for COM
petent like ~servises out of public life.
9Th. Less federal centralism and
more respect for the rights of the
people.
10th. Let the m schools
alone.
18th. No federal interference
with religious faith, sects, or organi-
cations.
18th. One term for the President,
and a six years service, if the con-
stitution is amended.
This is substantially what the
Democrats are fighting for, and their
candidates, if elected will insist up
on these reforms.-N. Y. Express.
The proper time for resumption is
the time when wise preparations
shall have r;pened into a perfect abil-
ity to accomplish the object with a
certainty and ease that will inspire

Remember.

Voters and Taxpayers of PEBBLE
County, that in supporting the In
dependent Ticket you vote against a
RING that compels every candidate
to pledge so much of the office spoils
for its support and maintenance
In the end it comes out of your hard
earnings. Go and look al the public
Records of some of them and you
will see proof of this statement in
defaced and blurred books to cover
up and hide the stealings! None of
this was ever done by Democrats or
Independents.

years-it has saved you thousands
of dollars! Then vote the Independ,

BARNES!

MILTON BARNES, the Republi-
can candidate for Secretary of State,
urged upon the Legislature of Ohio,
by petition and otherwise, to pass a
law to prevent Free Masons, Odd Eel
lows, Knights of Pythias and mem
bers of other secret organizations
from serving on %juries. In a word, he
desires to have this large class of soci-
ETY. DISTINGUISHED; for no other reason
except that he doesn't happen to be-
lieve in them. He is said to be big
OF of the first water. So obnoxious
has he become, that the Republican
| State Executive Committee has re-
called his appointments and taken
from him the stump. 1t is said that
he was requested to resign his posi-.
ton on thcticket..

Independents :

You who have made up your minds
to vote for men who are not pledged
to a Ring, pay no attention to Icing
reports against our candidates on
the eve of the election. The air will
be full of them. Vote against the
Ring who slaughters every man that
will not pledge the spoils of the office
to sustain them, and who are mean
and bigoted enough to prescribe a
poor man for attending a Democrat
ic meeting.

PAYING THE REBEL DEBT
What the Constitution Says

Republican "slop shop" stumpcrs
and slang-whangers in their desper-
alton to prejudice the public and con
ceal the true issues of the campaign,
charge that if the Democrats get in
to power the rebel debt will be paid.
Of curse any man with a grain Of
common sense knows it is a lie, but
anything to brighten the people into
keeping these thieves and robbers in
power, is the work of the hired
knaves. Below we publish q section
of the Fourteenth Amendment which
provides especially against the pay
ment of such debts and claims. Be-
fore any rebel debt can be paid the
Constitution must be changed
amended. To amend the Constitu-
ton requires atwo-third vote of both
houses of Congress. The provision
so passed by Congress, must, before
becoming part of the Constitution be
ratified by the Legislatures of three
fourths of all the States. 1t is not
likely such an amendment will pass
in II day. Here is the section Of
the constitution, which Democrats
should save us a reference when an
ignorant or knavish Republican
charges that if Tilden is elected the
sebel debt will be paid.
THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
Article IA, Section 4, Of the Consti-
tuition reads as foNoUs:.
"The validity of the public debt OF
the United States, authorized by law,
including debts incurred for payment
of pensions and bounties for services
in s~uppressing instruction of rebel
lion, shall not be questioned. But
neither the United States, nor any
State, shall assume or pay any debt
or obligation incurred in aid ofinsur-
r%ection or rebellion against the Uni
ted States, or any claim for the loss,
by emancipation of any slave; but all
such debts, obligations and claims
shall be held illegal and void"
If that is not sufficient to satisfy
every reasonable man on this matter,
we know of nothing that would.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05

We heard a good, honest, square
Republican, remark the other day:
"What the DEMOCRAT says about the
Ring defeating j. L. Chambers, 1
kno,o to be true, and l am tired being
led and driven by these fellows and
will vote the Independent Ticket"
Hundreds will do the same way
Rebuke the politicsl gamblers and
traders in your public offices!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05

Suppose that during the Crusade
in Eaton, a man had stepped out
from among the singists, pulled of
his coat and rolled up his sleeves and
declared that what could not be done
by prayers and singing he could do
by muscle" would he be considered
a Crusader? The Lewisburgers can
answer the conundrum! Ask some
of them.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05

The Republican papers r getting
alarmed for their anti-masonic, anti
oddfellow, crusade candidate for Sec
rotary of State, MILToN BARNES,
whose fapaticism is becoming very
generally known, and who it is now
apparent will be cut all over the State
by Masons and Odd Fellows and lib
eral voters generally. No proscrip-
tive man like BARNES has any right
to expect that those whom be would
proscribe will vote for him.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05

Mr.. BARNES has a perfect right to
be a temperance man in sentiment
and habit but then in this free coun-
try, where we all have an inherent
prejudice against sumptuary legisla-
ton, he should not expect the sup
port for office of men who object to
having other mems opinions forced
down their throats by Legislative
enactment.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05
Look Here.

1t is said that Mr.. JEuU CAMPBELL
is bitterly opposed to Masons and
Odd Fellows and has frequently de-
nounced them in unreasonable
terms. How is that for high? The
Republican ticket is about made up
of Crusaders and bigots, and the ed,
itor of the Register wants LEwELLEN
ostracized because he attended q
Democratic meeting! A nice party
indeed! Amt it?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05
Snyder was a
Crusader. Vote
against him.
Dennis Lewellen

Is well qualified to fill the Sherif's
office-far better than Mr.. Snyder,
his opponent. His four years expe,
r;ence as Deputy under Sheriff
Townsend prepares him for the po-
sition and gives him superior quail,
fications over any other candidate.
Vote for him.

Vote for DENNIS LEwELLEN for

Mr.. j. L. Chambers is a Republic,
can-was Chairman of the Republi-
can Central Committee for four
years-and he openly charges that a
Ring defeated him in the republican
County Convention for Sheriff. II
must be true! 1t has never been
denied! Honest and Independent re-
publicans, will you quietly submit
to such political gamblers?

against
the Ring.

BARNES puts it ingeniously: "At
one time 1 was a member of a secret
order" But Mr.. Barnes, the ques-
ton is, what are your present opin-
ions on the subject?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05

If the South wants pay for their
negroes all they have to do is to wait
till the Republicans come in posses
sion ofboth branches of Congress and
then present their bill in a lump to-
gether with a proposition to divide.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-05

When a man who pulls off his coat
and rolls up mis- sleeves in the pres
ence of band of Crusaders, and de-
clares what the Crusaders cannot do
by prayer and singing he can by
muscle" was surely pretty warm in
the cause. The Lewisburgers know
all about If.
