The Free Press fiatters itself that it is
doing injury to The Republican party in
this county. Where have you touched
them? Keep on with your injury"
That terrible rush of stllousands of
Republicans to the Democratic ranks"was
wonderfully manifested in the Vermont
and Maine elections, and that Is what is
the matter with the Free Press.
Sorry the Free Press man couldn't find

court house. 1t must have been painful,
but rest easy, Ellsworth is coming, and
YOU can have chance to hear him. l

The hard hits OF the Brooklyn Argus.
Democratic paper which was one of
Samuel j. Tlden's most arden t support
ers in 1874 at the Democratic candidate
for President. seems to worry the papers
of that party very much, but the only
aifswe they make to its charges. is the
same argument they use against The Re-
publican party--call it hard names.
The Democratic papers are fearfully
full of unbelief They cannot believe
members of their own party under oath.
Atlidavits of leading Democrats of Ere
mont. Ohio. Gov. Hayes home. have
been published completely refuting the
charges against Gov. Hayes in regard
10 fraudulent tax returns. Yei they COLI
tinue TO vaunt the same Old charge.
It is wonderful hat confidence the
Democracy have in the honesty OF BriS-
TOW, and how bad they. feel because he
was not nominated at Cincinnati aud yet
he is doing noble work ioi Hayes and
Wheeler. Just think of honest Ben
Biistow supporting such man as the
Democratic papers and orators would
make people believe Hayes to be. Bristow
is an honest reforIner. and he knows
which of the two candidates is most like
ly to promote the interests OF the country.
The Democratic papers have been loud
in accusing Gov. Hayes of being Know
nothing, on the ground of letter pur-
ported TO have been written by him to
the Secretary Of the American Alliance
which Mr.. Hayes denies, emphatically,
ever having done. The Sagiuaw Repub-
ican. last week, comes out and charges
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
VIM. l.. Webber, with being one of the
organizors and The president of a Know
nothing lodge in Saginaw, and says that
it was owing to this charge being made
against him in 1860, when candidate
for the state Senate, and which he did
not deny, that he was so ANONYMOUSLY
defeated at that time, and that the fact
can be subStantiated' the sworn state
ments OF paItics who are still citizens of
East Saginaw. and who were members
with him in that organization.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the
leading Democra papers of the West,
in June, a short time previous TO the st.
Louis convention, said: "Tilden's sur
rouadings are bad. If elected he lCoattd
take to the White House the avorst set of
political jObbers and thieUes eUer seen in
Washington, and that's saying good
deaf" And in another issue it again
said. ut could not be but that man
educated I'M cunning, in hypocrisy, IN in
Equity. nominated in corruption and
shameless efYOntcTy. eUen though his mil
lions could elect him. aUOuld giUe us the
most corrupt administration the country
has epcr knonn.n Since the nomination,
on the 9th OF July. the Enquirer said,
editorially: ..RGpublican newspapers
continue to copy from the Enquirer ua-
complimentary nlluSions to Samuel j TIL
den prcCiOus to his nomination for Presi-
dent. We haze repedtedly said zoe haze
nothing to take back And yet. not
withstanding its full knowledge of the
above, it continues to support him be-
cause he is the uominee of the DemOo rat

BY his own party papers, is. as above, to
be elected President.
