less than 10000 Democratic majority
for the State ticket
The House has not yet acted on
the White House bill or resolu
ton. Grant wants to clcctioneer
for Hayes, and dates his first oflortat
the White House. Why did he not
send his message to the Republican
Senate, which has in its possession
four-ffths of the appropriation bills
as passed by the House, and ask that
body to take immediate action upon
them? The pressure upon the coun-
try has brought the laboring man
and the mechanic to want, and
thrown one-third out Unemployment.
They are impoverished by taxation.
Every citizen demands economy in
government, while Grant and his
immense following ofolliceholders and
hangers-on demand large appropria-
tions andexpenditures to crafty their
desires. We say again, let the Demo
cracy stand firm. If the President
and the Senate don't like what is
given them, then let them refuse to
take any and go before the people
upon the failure to appropriate mon
ey to carry on the government. The
Democracy can stand it. Let them
remain firm.
The Electoral vote to be cast for
President numbers three hundred
and sixty-nine. The Democratic
nominee for President will more than
likely get one hundred and fifty
votes outside of the State of New
York; and with the thirty-fyc votes
of the Empire State-which the Re
publicans cannot carry, we will have
one hundred and eighty-fye votes
for the st Louis nominee-a MAORI
of the Electoral College; then where,
oh where, will the Brigadicr-Gonoral
be?
The campaign, with our next is
sue, will be fairly opened, The St.
Louis Convention will have made its
nominations, and the great contest
between the Democratic party of re-
form, and the Republican party of
corruption, will be begun. All who
wish to keep fully up with the times,
and who feel, as all should, an in
terest in these matters, should sub
scribe for their county paper. Send
in your subscription, A man living
in this rich and productive county
of ours ought to be ashamed to say
he could not afford to pay two dollars
a year for his county paper,

The Republican party, in its Gin
cinnati platform, says ave rejoice
in the quickencd conscience of the
people concerning political affairs"
This is a recognition of the fact that
the party has been unworthy of the
peoples confidence, and the quick
encd conscience will put another
party in power
An equally sclGoccusing plank in
the platform is that wherein it pro
poses to "hold all public officers to Il
rigid responsibility" And yet, after
holding the Government for sixteen
years, it remained for Il Democratic
House ofRcprcsoutativos to institute
proceedings against guilty officers.
There is Democratic majority in
Mason county Of at least four hun
drcd if We can got out the full vote.

and energetic work will bring out

The prospects for a good crop of to-

few weeks ago. We have received
letters from farmers in all parts of

We notice that our Republican
friend and neighbor, L. A. Guthrie,
Esq, is talked of as a candidate for
the office of Acknowledgement of this
State on the Republican ticket, Du-
ring a recent stay in Wheeling, we
were led to believe that he had many
warm Republican supporters in that
end of the State. We hope he will
be nominated by his party for this
Office, as it will be recognition Of
his lifelong service to his party
Mr. Guthrie is a gentleman of fine
legal attainments, is well liked and
respected by all who know him, and
is dcservcdly popular with his party
in this county, The worst that can
be said against him is his politics,
The discordant elements among
the Democracy throughout the entire
country are coming together and
the indications of harmony are null
tiplying every day, Practical sense
is asserting itself, and u reasoning
among the leaders show that no scri-
Gus breach can exist in the ranks.
