= FaIse Report Correcled.

Mr.. J. L. BoARDMAS, Editor Of
Highland News:-Sir: understand
it to be currently reported in GER
tain township Of this county, that I
am working, and intend to vote for
Mr.. T. H. Long for Sheriff at the
ensuing fall election. I should give
it no attention, but justice compels
me to correct the mistake, as parties
are using it for political effect.
I wish to say to your readers, that
for several years past, when the Re
publican party have brought out MN
for Office whom I considered IN
WORTHY Of my support, I have
scratched" them, and voted for
GOOD MEN Of the opposite party. The
same L propose to repeat in the fu-
ture, if similar circumstances pre-
sent themselves, but must state to
the people Of Highland county, that
I have not the most distant idea of
voting for Mr.. Long.

Warning to Republicans
Registration.
COLUMBUS. o., Sept. 4

CS-1N--'o'a Veg NJ EJes K
To the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette:
The importance Of securing a
full registration of their voters un-
der the new registration law seems
to be more fully appreciated by the
Democracy than by their Republi-
can opponents. In addition to fre-
quent reminders in their papers
they have adopted, and are now
carrying ont, the following pro-
gramme:
First-They have men going thro
each voting precinct IN the State
taking the name of each, and aseer-
tanning his polities-whether Repub-
Iican, Democratic or doubtful-and
every phase Of political standing.
Second-These same canvassers
make inquiry Of every Democrat and
doubtful man as to whether hewill be
obliged to register, and after ascer-
tanning all the facts the party con
cerned is informed as to the necessi-
ty of being registered, also as to
when and how it must be done, and
he is especially charged not to for.
get it.
Third-On the day fixed for regis
tration, every man noted for the
purpose will be seen, and his regis
tratiOn secured and when secured
will be duly reported. No man who
votes, or who is likely to be induced
to vote, the Democratic ticket will
be allowed to escape.
Fourth - A part Of the pro
gramme is to give false information
to Republicans who make inquiry of
these Democratic agents, hoping
thereby to throw them off their
guard until it becomes too late for
them to register.
Republicans should be on their
guard, or through the combined Wig
lance and Vaccinations Of the Dem
ocrats they will find enough votes
lost to defeat their ticket A hint
should be sufficient.

Mr. Edwards and the Color
ed Voters.

We publish in another column, an
address to the Colored Voters of
this county, written by one of their
own number, and chiefly devoted to
showing up the past record of Mr..
G. B. Edwards, the Democratic can
didate for Representative. Most of
our readers will remember the excit
ing political campaign of 1867, when
the Republicans of Ohio advocated
an amendment of the State Consti-
tuition, conferring the right of suf-
frage upon the cOlored men. In
that campaign Mr.. Edwards partic-
ularly distinguished himself by his
efforts, backed by those of other
Democrats, at the polls in Penn tp.,
to prevent the few colored men from
voting, who were at that time legally
entitled to vote under the decisions of
Supreme Court of Ohio, that all
colored men of legal age, having "a
preponderance of white blood, were
legal voters. Mr.. Garnett, the writ
er of the address, was one of this
class of voters, who was prevented
from exercising his rights on that
occasion, by threats Of violence.
Determined, however, to have re-
dress, he Immediately came to Hills
boro and called on Sheriff johnson
to protect him and other colored cit
liens who were intimidated from vot-
ing. The Sheriff promptly sum
moned a posse to his aid, went out
to the Penn tp. polls, and remained
there until all the colored men who
were legal voters had voted, except
a few who were perhaps afraid to as
sert their rights. One of these,
named Hickman, who attempted to
vote after the Sheriff had left, was
shamefully beaten by some of Mr..
Edwards Democratic friends.
What makes this unwholesome
record of the Democratic candidate
for Representative, more especially
interesting at this time, is the fact
that he is now engaged in most as
siduously courting the colored men
of Penn and other townships, who,
since the time when these disgrace
full scenes transpired, have become
free American citizens and voters, in
spite Of the bitter opposition of Mr..
Edwards and the Democratic party.
Under these circumstances, Mr.
Garnett's address Will no doubt be
read with special interest, not only
by the colored citizens of Penn tp.,
but by those of the whole county,
and we are much mistaken if they
do not vindicate their self-respect
and manhood by so voting in Octo-
Der as to teach Mr.. Edwards les
son that he will not soon forget.
Truly "the whirligig of Time"
does 'bring round its revenges, and
Mr.. Edwards, the former prosecutor
of the colored citizens, now an hum
bic suppliant for their votes, which
he will never get, is another illustra-
ton of the fact.

The pretense of the Democrats
that they are the only true friends of
the laboring man, is the thinncst
possible deception. The Republi-
can party, by its wise financial poll
cy, has brought "greenbacks" nearly
up to par with gold, thus increasing
their purchasing power, to the great
advantage Of the working man. Had
the Democratic policy Of imitation
prevailed, and more greenbacks been
issued, their purchasing power would
have decreased, and the laboring
classes would have been the great
est sufferers. Let every working
man remember this, and stand by
the Republican party.

Mr.. DeBruin has made good Au,
ditor, but he has held the Office two
terms, and before he was elected
Auditor, he had held the Office OF
Prosecuting Attorney for two terms.
Eight gears Of continuous service in
office is as much as the people ought
to ask of any man, and therefore
thore is a general disposition to let
Mr. DeBruin retire and enjoy a rest,
which he must need in order to re
cuperate from the cares and respon-
sibilities of official station.

their increasing business to remove
to more ample rooms, at 152 Walnut

have fitted up very neatly and con
veniently, and are now better pre-
pared than ever to promote the inter
ests of the press. An acquaintance
of over 25 years with the senior of

entire reliability. and fair dealing
with the newspaper fraternity, and
we most cordially recommend them
to our contemporaries.

The News, like Henry Ward Beech
er, thinks that bread and water are
good enough for laboring men and
their families, if they can't find any
thing better, and that they ought to
be contented with it. Hillsboro
Gazette.
It strikes us that the above is
pretty cool, considering the source. "
The fact is, the proprietor of the
News pays his employees better wages
than the proprietor Of the Gazette,
and this being a fact which the Ga
zette will not deny, we submit it to
the public whether such a charge as
that contained in the Gazette's para
graph, comes with a good grace from
that quarter. If the proprietor of the
Gazette has so much more sympathy
than we have for the 'laboring men
and their families, why does he not
pay them as well for their labor?
