GEO. A, GROVE,

Hon. GEO. A. GROVE, the candl-
date for State Senator nominated by
the Democracy of this District, TO
succeed Judge HAINEs in the Senate,
was in Eaton on last Saturday, and
during the luli in our County Con-
vention was called upon to address
our representative democracy there
assembled. Although not profess
ing to be a speaker, Mr.. GROVE, by
the eloquence of his candor and his
straight forward way of telling our
people what he believed to be right,
struck the centre. He is a fit rep
resentative of men who have faith
in the resources of our country. He
does not ask if this country issues
her "promises to pay" will she ever
pay it? He honors and believes in
the Greenback, and the independent
element and the democrats of this
county will strike hands with him
against the doubters who would see
every promise retired, and like the
barbarians ask for something hard
for money. He has a broad faith in
the future of u country. He is
willing to discount the future q lit
tie to ease the present. The
great English statesman, when Eng
land was asked to resume in her then
present trouble to save posterity
from the cost of preserving the
rights of Englishmen, said substan-
TALLY, "posterity never did anything
for me-" So say we, Tighten the
burthen on the present generation
have faith in your country and hel
pledges. In the genial glow of thai
faith let business and hope revive
and not treat your country's great
faith and hope as you would a fail
ing creditor.
We say to Montgomery county
that the Independent and Democrat
ic element o. Preble county, will
stand a unit in support of Mr.. Grow
for the Senate. Do your whole dut!
in support of q candid, earnest gooC
man, and we will do ours.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-06

The contraction policy advocated
by John Sherman, and the fact that
resumption in 1879 stares the people
in the face, is what brings about
the great depression in u railroad
and other interests, and necessitates
them to resort to every possible
means to reduce there expenditures.
The manufacturing and laboring in
terests of the country r suffering
severely from the financial policy of
such statesmen as John Sherman.

Our Ticket.

1t affords us greatpleasure to place
at the head of u columns, the
of the gentlemen whom the
Democ:a cy of this county selected in
Convention ON Saturday last, to rep
resent them in the county contest.
We do so all the more cheerfully, be-
cause they r the choice of tie larg-
est and most harmonious Convention
ever assembled in Eaton, and there
fore reflect the will of the party fully
and freely speaking from every town
shin,

The Eaton Democrat sympathizes
with workingmen SC long as they
don't aspire to office, but if one of
them gets into Office it is in favor of
kicking him out.-Eaton Register.
OF course the above is either an
ignorant or a wilfull untruth. No
one detests professional l%oafers,
dead-beats, idlers and drones upon
society, more than we do. We al
ways advocate the claims of an in
dustrious and competent working
mar for public honors, in preference
to the do-nothing drone or the high
toned gentleman who is afraid to soil
his hands with honest toll. The wri-
ter Of the above squib had better
prove his charge or admit he has
lied.

The salary paid the Treasurer of
Preble county, amounts to about
$4,000 a year and that of the Au-
ditor about $2sOO,OO They have no
reasonable demand upon the tax
payers for q second term. 1t is
simply a piece of absurdity to ask
the people to keep men in public
positions until they a retire at
ease, One term or a reduction of
salaries, should be the demand from
every taxpayer in the county!

will insure for him the votes of the
people of the county who don't want
to be taxed for miles of mileage, and
who want their Infirmary affairs
managed with economy and a rigid
accountability to the interests of the
unfortunate who are a charge on the
taxpayers. The election Of Mr.. HILL
will save the county hundreds of dol
lars and it is our duty to place him
in the office.
This is the Ticket, voters of Pre-
BILE county, the Democracy offer you
for your support at the ballot-box in
October next. 1t is an exceptional
ly good one in point of capability, in
tegrity, intelligence and respectable.
ity, and as a whole preferable TO the
one presented by the Republican
Ring Convention two weeks ago. The
election of portion of it is already
conceded by many Of our opponents
and a little good and earnest work OF
the part o every Democrat and every
man in favor of q change in the ad'
ministration of our county affairs
will secure the success of all of it,
Go to work then, friends, and on the
I'd Tuesday of October, give these
men your united support, and yo1

We know of a recent appointment
which requires a two thirds vote of

didate for Senator in this District,
and EMANUEL SHULrz, the Republi-
can nominee for the same position,
are partners in business in the city
of Miamisburg, Montgomery county,

the firm. He will beat his partner
in Montgomery county badly, and in
this county he will run him very
close. OF course SHULTz will be left

LORENZO SrUBBs is showing through
the columns of the Eaton Register
how Prohibition can be enforced in
Ohio. AS one of the family is the
Republican candidate for Represen-

If the taxpayers of this county
want their taxes reduced, let them
vote for a change in their county Of

men and parties extravagant and
reckless in the use of the public
funds. The only way to check this
is TO vote for a change.

The specie resumption act, with
all it's kindred legislation, has for its
real object and purpose to change
our Republican form of Government

A prominent Prohibitionist ofthis
county said in Eaton on Saturday
last, that Mr.. Stubs, the Republican
candidate for Representative, and
Mr.. Win. Freeman, the candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney, were both
Prohibitionists at heart, but they
had not the moral courage to come
out boldly and say so now, because
they were seeking political positions
Jest so. If the people of Preble
county want a Prohibitionist to rep
resent them in the Ohio Legislature,
and a Prosecuting Attorney of the
same stripe, they know now who to
elect.

If the infamous Resumption Act
was wiped from the statute book and

The Ring is proclaiming Co. D.
C. STUBBs to be qualified to make a
brilliant and able Representative.
Two years ago the same editorials
were written to boost up HAwLEY,
and then the Ring defeated him for
a second term because, they gay, he
was incompetent, thus giving the lie
to all their former declarations. Can
any careful observer notice q very

The filling of the county offices by
Democrats might not change the
price of "corn and oats" but we are
satisfied it would change the price
of the taxes in Preble county. That
has been satisfactorily demonstrated

GENTLEMEN-By the action ofyour
party at its County Convention at
ID the 1st day of Sept, l was
unanimously nominated as your can
didate for member of the State Leg
islature. The selection, / think,
should have been conferred upon
some one more able and competent
to discharge the duties of the office.
But it was your voluntary action, I'M
sought by me, and in accepting the
trust, (should l be elected) l will
endeavor to the best of my ability to
secure such legislation as will work
out the most good to the greatest
number. The declaration of princi.
pies set out in the platform, is con
fined to questions over which the
law makers of the State have but
little control. My objection 10 the
financial policy of the present party
in power is, that it is not in accord.
ance with either the interest or view:
of the great mass of the people; the
specie resumption act should be re
pealed forthwith and contraction
abandoned. The government SHOULD
issue a legal tender currency. Thu
old silver dollar should be remoni
tized and made a legal tender 70
the payment of all dues, both public
and private. I am also in favor of
general reduction in salaries of pub

this wrong will be my earnest en-
deavor. G. HI. EDISON.

G.. H. EDISON,

G. II. EDISON,
our candidate for Representative, was
the unanimous choice of the Con-
vention, and is so well known in the
county as an industrious and honest
workingman, of u%ndisputed ability
and attainment for the position, that
it is hardly necessary for is to say
a single word in his behalf. He rep
resented the people of this county in
the Legislature four years ago, and
with such ability as to gain him
many admiring and warn friends a.
mong his colleagues. Being a labor
ing man himself, he is fully posted
as to the wants ofthe farming com
munity and will faithfully represent
the Laboring classes of the county.
He is no temperance fanatic-al-
though not a drinking mamie is no
contractionist, and is with the pro-
ducing classes on the great questions
of Finance and Labor, and that is
all that is wanted ola Representative
at this time. That he will be elect
ed by a larger majority than he was
four years ago, we have not theleast
doubt. 1t is to the interest of the
mechanics and laboring men that
they should have him to represent
them and their interests, because he
is one of their class.
SAMUEL GULlCK,
our nominee for County Auditor, is
a resident of Twin township, and is
a man of unquestioned ability to dis
charge the duties of the office for
which he is a candidate. He has
filled the Office ofJustice of the Peace
of his township, andfor several years
has assessed its property. His re.
turns have always been correct and
neat and show at once that he is 8
business man and a scholar. The
large suffrage that he will receive in
the section of the county in which
he resides, will show that the people
appreciate his honesty and capacity
and consider him worthy of the place
There is a change needed in the Aud
itor's office, and the taxpayers owe
it to themselves to make it now.
SAMUEL BLACK,
our candidate for Treasurer, is a res
ident of West Alexandria, Laniel
township, and is at present engaged
in the Dry Goods business. He is
safe, prudent, careful business mai
and his reputation for honesty hal
never been questioned. He also be
longs to the laboring class, and hi
views and opinions are fully in sym
pathy with the interests of the yeo
manry of the county. MI. Black i
a well-read man, has the finest libra
ry in the eastern part of the county
and has always taken a lively inter
est in the advancement and progress
of the public institutions in his town
ship.
