POLITICAL NOTES.

We are on the eve of another political
will be warm one. The great questions
at issue, the character of the candidates
of the two parties and of the parties
themselves, the possibilities and proba-
bilities attending the success of either
party, corspire to make the approaching
campaign unusually important.
THE TWO PARTIES
The two parties which have stood face
to face for near a quarter Of a century
and which are now girding themselves
marked contrast in their acts, both public
and private. The Democratic party pos
sesses a genius for going wrong. The late
Senator Morton challenged the leaders of
that party to point out one great public
act which their party had done within
the last twenty years and the poor an
swer came back to him, "It has appointed
investigating committees" They did
investigate and caught Democrats. This
party claims to be the friend of the poor
man If this were true its measures
should be carried by reclamation; for
most men are poor. Never was more
fraudulent claim made by any party. Let
any man, poor or not, discover if he can
one single act Of that party which
meliorated the condition of poor men.
Has Democratic Congress ever accom-
plished such result? Never. Has
Democratic legislature in Ohio ever, in
any way, aided the poor man? Look to
the record of last winter for answer. So
far from aiding any one but themselves
they even passed the infamous OConnor
law expressing widows and orphans.
They promised to reduce taxes and in
creased them. They continued their
session longer than any session for l6
years and spent 100000 90 for partisan
purposes only thus helping the tax
payer Oh, most impotent friend of the
poor man
THE CONGRESSIONAL AND JUDICIAL DISTRICTS
are close with small Republican ma
effort, with the chances as they now are
in their favor, will enable the Republi-
cans to carry both with hurrah. The
re nomination of Hon. H. S. Neal was
the proper thing to do. He understands
| thoroughly the wants and interests of the
people of his district. He has made a
good record-one which none but Demo
Gratis can find fault with. Their denun-
citation is high praise He is true blue
Republican, perfectly honest, a genial
gentleman and will command the full
strength of his ticket.
The selection of the Judicial Conven-
ton could not have been better. Hon.
James Trip is man of sterling quail
man of strict integrity and of great legal
ability. 1 believe the people of this dis
trict will look to their own interests and
elect Mr.. Trip, no matter who may be
nominated by the opposition.
THE COUNTY CANDIDATES
are men of ability and honesty. Mr.. j.
B. Paine, candidate for Representative,
is man of ability and education. He is
honest in every sense of the word and
fine speaker. l do not believe his oppo
nent could make speech under any Cir
cumstances If elected he would 60 to
Columbus and vote just as the Demo
cratic caucus told him to do. A wooden
man with ticket could do as much.
The bitter and groundless onslaught on
Chas. A. Atkinson, shows the fear which
agitates tie Democratic breast because of
him The more said Of the kind that
has been said, the greater will 81 his
majority. Who has heard of his oppo
nent since his nomination? The whole
Republican ticket is good one and the
interests of the people demand its elec-
ton MARCUS.
