A few days after the st. Louis conven-
tion, John c. Stevenson Esq, a Demo
crat of this place, called our attention to
the wording of certain resolution in
the Democratic platform, and said it was
his opinion that it was designed to pave
the way to the pensioning of rebel sol
diers. We searched for said resolution
in the platform, as published in all our
Democratic exchanges, but we failed to
find it. We came to the conclusion that
Mr. Stevenson had been mistaken; but
quite recently we found it in the plat
form, published in the Hooking Sentinel.
Here it is:
Resolved, That the soldiers and sailors
of the Republic. and the widows and or
phans of those who have fallen in battle,
have just claim upon the care, protec-
tion and gratitude of their fellow citi-
zens.
Mr.. Stevenson remarked that all for
mer illusions to soldiers in political plat
forms, named them as Union soldiers,
and that this was the first instance
where the resolution is so worded as to
include rebel soldiers. This was evident.

ELECTION RETURNS.

The October election was held on Tues
day, and by one o'clock on the same
night unofficial returns from jackson
county were received at this place, and
telegraphed to Columbus. The vote of
Hamilton township. one of the remote
townships, was sent over to Webster,
and telegraphed to Jackson, and the vote
of Jackson township was sent to Rays
vile, and telegraphed to Jackson. On
Wednesday night we had the official alb
stract of the entire vote of the county in
type, and by the 81 train on Thursday
morning we sent the STANDARD contain
ing the same to our subscribers. We be-
lieve the STANDARD was the only paper in
the State, not excepting the city papers,
that sent out an official abstract that
soon after the election.

A TWO-EDGED SWORD.

The speakers at the Democratic meet
ing on Monday night went through the
same performance they usually do, howl
ing about Republican thieves, and re-
peated the parrot rigmarole about Bah
cock, Belknap, Boss Shepherd, &c. These
men know very well that Babcock was
tried for completely in the whisky frauds.
by st. Louis jury, and acquitted, after a
deliberation of FIVE minutes. month
ago he was tried in Washington City by
another jury for the safe burglary mat
ter, and again acquitted. Belknap was
tried by the United States Senate on ar.
ticles of impeachment, and acquitted
Now does not fairness and decency re-
quire that these men should be let
alone2
Let US try the other edge of this sword
One of the speakers, /. t. Monahan, is
under indictment for one of the most
hideous crimes known to the laws of God
or man, the taking of the life of an un-
born child. Suppose his trial should re-
suit like that OF Babcock or Belknap
Suppose that after his acquittal, every
Republican blatherskite should howl
about the Democrats as murderers, and
all the time refer to Monahan as q shin
ing illustration? Would he not whine
about the meanness-the injustice of
such course2 Yet the precedent he
is setting would justify such course.

We have long been praying for a Sit
would call around him band of his race,
and let it be known that every Southern
traitor who killed a negro, had to die
for it.
A short time ago the news came that
horrid massacre had been perpetrated by
negroes at Cainhoy, South Carolina We
knew that it was lie, as the negroes are
never the aggressors. The following re-
port made to Attorney-General Taft, by
the Marshal of South Carolina, was read
in Cabinet meeting last Friday
CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct II.
"Hon. A. Taft, Attorney General, Washington:
SIR-l have delayed giving you a re-
port of the recent unfortunate political
riot, which took place near the town of
Cainhoy, near this city, until | could get
a correct statement OF the facts. 1t is
one of the legitimate results of the in
timidation policy on the Mississippi plan,
adopted by the Democratic party in
opening their campaign, for the purpose
OF breaking down the Republican ma
iority in this State. The first meeting in
this county, at which the Democrats put
their shotgun" policy into practice,
took place over a month ago, on the
Cooper River, some ten or twelve miles
from the scene of the late riot. The Re
publicans had called a meeting, and the
Dei4ocrats in the city chartered steam
boat and took about $50 well armed men
to the meeting They formed their men
in line near the stand, and demanded
that shey should have half the time for

LOOK HERE.

At the recent election in several
of the townships in this county,
men openly voted the Republican ticket
who had all their lives voted the Demo
cratic ticket These men were generally
Of the poor class-laboring man. 1t is
not strange. If man is poor, he wants
to be treated with some kind Of decency
and respect. 1t seems that the Demo
cratic leaders cannot get the old pro-
slavery ideas out of their heads, but they
still regard all poor men, and laboring
men, as of right belonging to some one.
Our readers will bear US witness, that
we have rarely appealed to laboring men,
or poor men, as such, to vote the Repub-
lican ticket. This ought to be free
country, where every man, no matter
how poor he may be. can vote just ex-
actly as he pleases, and he should not be
insulted for exercising that freedom.
But how do the Democratic leaders treat
such men What right has a Democratic
paper, or any other paper or person, to
votes one way or the other2
Last week we gave a few editorials
from some Democratic papers on this
subject. Now we will give few more.
The Waverly Watchman says:
How internal mean and sneakipr
those Democrats looked who permitted
themselves to be dragged up 90 the polls
and voted by Republicans. Shame, on
on such cowardice"
Again, that paper says:
Wen bet our pile that the Republi-
cans, during the last two or three weeks
of the campaign spent fully three mill
ions of dollars in this State alone in buy
ing up votes and in hiring men to stuff
ballot boxes. There was large amount
of money used in this county, and we
know OF some of it being used TO mighty
poor purpose
Here is another hattering notice that
paper gives of its Democratic brethren:
Those Democrats. who permitted
themselves to be seduced into voting the
Republican ticket by the promise-of a
few dollars from those fello~@r@%ho were
nursing them up for the occasion, can
go their way now, despised by those who
bought them and stunned by their for
mer friends and associates. They ought
to have branded or their foreheads. i'm

ance TO know at very earliest moment,
the result of the Presidential election.
We think enough may be known by two
o'clock on Tuesday night, to settle the
question who is elected President OF the
United States. In the first place, it will
not be necessary to call over the names
OF all the electors on each ticket. Let
the judge of election say Hayes and
the clerks can make a score at once op-
posite the name of each elector on the
ing, which will rarely occur. We have
known judges to be so accommodating as
to count out all the tickets at once,
merely saying Hayes" or "Tilden.' as
the case may be. This can be done in q
few minutes, in the largest townships.
The judges and clerks can then proceed
in the regular way, again taking up each
ticket Unless the present Statutes for

GRANT SPEAKS.

Last week there was full Cabinet
meeting, and it was decided to stop the
murder and intimidation carried on by
the rebels in South Carolina. The Presi-
dent issued his proclamation, command
ing the rife clubs to disperse in three
days. The Secretary of War ordered
Gen. Sherman to send troops to South
Carolina at once, and the troops began to
move, and there will soon be ten thou.
sand soldiers in that State. The north
ern copperheads now howl just like they
did in 1861, that it is unconstitutional to
coerce the rebels. But they will be
coerced, nevertheless.

John c. Stevenson, in his speech on
Monday night, exhausted his stock Of
adjectives in praise of the Democratic
party A few days after the St. Louis
Convention, Mr.. Stevenson said, in a
conversation in front OF Wade a. Longs
furniture room, on Broadway street, that
the Democratic party, if it got into
power, would pension the rebel soldiers.
and that one of its resolutions proposed
to do So Now Mr.. Stevenson must be
in faving Of taxing the people to pay
pensions to the men who fought four
years to destroy the Government. But
there are some Democrats who are not in
favor of this.

On Monday, the day before the cleo
tion, we were at Portland, and School
Commissioner Smart, wife and children,
got off the train, and started to Gal
lipolis. We regret that DIR. Smart has
not seen the Importance of having that
scandal cleared up. The Chillicothe Adj
vertiser, a Democratic paper, said, a
couple of weeks ago:
MIND YOuR OwS BUsSEss.-State
School Commissioner Smart is again try
ing to stir up a muss between our Board
of Education and the Superintendent Of
our public schools. We might by way Of
friendly advice to this smart Alex sug-
gest that he had better assist Miss Chin
owith of Sandusky in reestablishing her
character as she was discharged from the
public schools Of that place on account of
the scandal published in the Register Of
that city rejecting on her on account Of
her associations with Mr.. Smart. Ii
seems that this official has not sense of
propriety enough left to resign an office
that he has disgraced yet it is important
that the members of the Board Of Educa-
tion of this city should understand the
character Of the man who is impudently
meddling with the affairs Of our public
schools.

you smart keenly for your uncalled for
