The speech in Eaton on Saturday
last of Col. WILSON, the bondholders
candidate in this District for Con-
gress, was a square-out stand up de-
tense of the Wall Street shylocks
and National Banks, and in favor of
contraction! We give him credit
for not evading or Sinking the hard
money question. He declared that
contraction was the only salvation of
the farmers and laboring meni He
labored hard to prove this outrageous
fallacy to his audience, but certain
ly failed, because every man with the
least grain of knowledge knows that
contraction is the whole cause of our
financial woes, of the prostraaene.of
business and failures all over the
country, and of the distress and want
of our farmers and laboring men.
Mr.. WILSON openly and publicly de-
clares he will vote for a continuation
of these crushing times-that robs
the poor men and enriches the bond
holders-and if you want them, you
will of course vote for him-if not,
you will vote for Gen. LEFEvEK.
Poor men, you have the remedy in
your hands now, and if you do not
apply it, don't complain when idle.
ness and poverty stalk into youl
houses.

The Republicans of this county
have not presented a single argu-
ment why any one should vote to
continue their party in power. They
depend entirely upon personal abuse
and Icing charges, to persuade the
mass of their deluded supporters to
stick to the party. Let any reasona-
BILE person look into their papers and
tell us if such is not a melancholy
truth.

The Democracy never had bette

The Democracy never had better
prospects than at present of sweep
ing the country this fall. After the
fourth of March Of next year it will
have a majority Of the United States
Senate, and if it secures the House
this fall, as it is almost certain to do,
it will be in a position to make its
power felt in wholesome and just
legislation in the interest of the en-
tire people of the country. It has
made along and brave fight for the
control of the government, and now
it is about to reap its reward.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-26

There is no necessity for a Demo.
crat to vote the greenback ticket, be-
cause the Democratic platform and
all its candidates are greenback to
the core. Republicans are not in
that fix. They have a contraction
and hard-money platform and candi-
dates to suit it. WILSON endorses
it and says he has no "panacea to
advertise" for the relief of poor men.
Vote against him.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-26

Mr.. WILSON said in his speech
that the hard times commenced when
the government began to pay off the
National debt. We would like Mr..
WILSON, or any other hard money
Republican, to tell when that time
was. The debt to-day is larger than
when the war closed. The paying
off of the National debt is all clap
trap to deceive honest Republicans
to vote the hard times ticket again.

The statement of Mr.. Williams
two weeks ago in the Register, that
The expenses of the Dayton Asylum
were increased $4,000 under the pre-
sent management, vas gathered from
a communication in the Dayton
Journal, which the editor of that pa.
per says "found its way into print
against his orders, and retracts in
the following gentlemanly manner.
something the. editor of the Register
will never do:
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-26

If the Republicans get control of
Congress again, there will be harder
times in this country than has ever
been heard of. They will carry
things on with a higher hand than
they ever did before, trampling the
laws of our country under foot and
squandering the peoples money even
more r~ecklessly than they did during
the war. Let poor laboring men pom
der over this fact, and vote accord
ingly. Don't be deceived any long
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-26

Democrats, stand firm! Let us be
true to our great principles. Let US
vote the good old Democratic ticket
from top to bottom, without a scratch.
and all will be well with us. There
may possibly be some man you do
not like on the ticket, but that is no
reason why you should vote for a Re
publican. Put a higher price on
your principles.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-26
Remember, Democrats, every vol

Remember, Democrats, every vote
cast for the Republican candidate
for Congress is a vote to continue
the present wicked and swindling
policy of the leaders of that party.
To endorse his connection with a
railway to swindle his fellow soldier.
To continue the present hard times
and distress of the poor laboring
men, and to approve of John Sher-
mans contraction policy, which has
bankrupted half the business men of
the country. Vote for a change.

Mr.. Morris of the Miami Hezme1

Mr.. Morris of the Miami Helmet,
may reassert the false charges he
made a few weeks ago in his cold
water journal as much as he pleases,
it is nevertheless a bald-faced lie.
We don't expect him to correct an
injustice done a political opponent.
He never did. He hasn't sufficient
manhood or gizzard to do it. He
was born with this misfortune and
can't help it. We pity him, but he
ought to learn to be honorable as he
advances in years. He hasn't brains
to do this either. He was born that
way too. We pity him again. We
excuse him. Good bye, "Ikey."
Gen. LEFEvER will be gloriously
elected, Notwithstanding the Icing
ISLANDERS you and the matchmaking
dead beats put into circulation
against him. Put that in your little
pious pipe and smoke it.

REMARKS.

The article to which the above re-
fers was a communication, which was
rejected by the Editor, but by one OF
those mysterious accidents which
sometimes happen, it got mixed with
genuine copy, and found its way into
print. We publish the above correc-
ton cheerfully as a matter Of justice,
regretting the blunder which makes
correction necessary.

The Eaton Register has got down
to be a mer pot-house journal, IN
der the management of the collec-
tor of revenues of whisky, rum and
tobacco. The man who permits
his political opinions to be controll-
ed by its stuff, is to be pitied for his
lack of intelligence.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-26

The Democratic ticket don't need
the personal abuse and Icing SLAM
ders of dead beats and blackmailers
against it's opponents, to bolster it
up. 1t speaks for itself-the men
are all competent and honest and will
make good and careful officials. Let
the Republicans run their dirt cart,
and throw its garbage into the face
of the public. It will only disgust
decent and honest voters.

Who was it that robbed the Sol
diers' Relief Fund, of Ohio, in 1875,
of 100000 which had been paid into
the State Treasury for the relief and
support of the disabled soldiers of
Ohio and their widows and orphans?
The leaders Of, the Republican
party.
Who stole $4,000 of the fund ap-
propriated by the General Govern
ment to mark the graves of soldiers
buried in the National Cemeteries2

Who defeated the bill appropria-
ting $50,000,0 900 to be divided among
the soldiers of the late war as boun-
ties?

party.
When cowardly, blatant, stay-at-
home Republicans come blowing
around about the so called O'Connor
law, don't forget to remind them of
the above. The day for a Republi-
can to blow about his love for the
soldier has gone by.

The Smileys of the Miami Demo

The Democrat who says he is not
going to vote for Gen. LEFEvER, be-
cause of the Icing reports of the
black-mailers and boilers, ought at
once to pack his kit and go over to

sooner the better.

A CARD.
From the Dayton Journal.

The Superintendent has neither
employed nor appointed a clerk, hav-
ing done his own writing, and has no
clerk. Last year the payroll for
was 1854, and on the
18th of September, 1877, there were
412 patients in the house. Upon the
18th of September, this year, there
were 551 patients, and the payroll
for September will be 81, 75S-thati is
1877 more patients and 500 less ex-
pense for help.

Gen. LEFEvER has not respond
ed" to any of the black-mail letters
written him from Eaton. That ac-
counts for much of the personal and
cowardIy abuse heaped upon him
from thfs quarter. Honorable men
are finding this truth out, and are
making the proper application ofthe
lies.

GEN. BENJAMIN LEFEvER.

GEN. BENJAMIN LEFEVER.
By virtue of the expressed will of
The Democracy of this District in
assembled, Gen. BENJA-
MIN LEFEvRE is the Democratic can
.idate for Congress composed of the
counties of Auglaize, Mercer, Shell
by, Miami, Darke and Preble, and
while a few disappointed sore-heads
and political shysters may charge,
abuse, SANDER, lie, and villify in reg
Iular fsh-woman style the nominee,
reasonable, sensible and honorable
men of the party, will pay nc atten-
ton to their malignant and ~senseless
chickering's. Whilst his place upon
the ticket was eagerly sought for and
warmly contested by other aspirants,
Gen. LEFEvRE holds it, SO far as we
can see, by the right of every recog-
missed rule for the government of par
ty action, and none but self-opiniona-
ted and bigoted disorganizers would
attempt to dispute or oppose it. His
rights and his claims under party
usage + just what would have at
tached to any other successful candi-
date in this contest, no more and no
less. He is entitled to the same unit
ed and energetic support from rival
candidates and their friends that
any one of them would have demand
led had he been successful, and we
are proud to say he is receiving it
Uithout a single honorable exception.
If there are any such things as Dem
~ocratic principles they can be main
tanned only by a Democratic organ
ization, and a Democratic organiza-
tioI can be preserved only by a will
ing submission to party usages. 1t
behooves, therefore, every Democrat
in the District and this county, who
believes in democratic government
and places his party principles above
personal considerations, to join in
the hearty support of the Congress
sional nominee, and to pay no atten-
ton to the miserable chickering's OF
disappointed sore-heads or the foul

cles, dead beats and black-mailers

Swarms Of Yellow Jackets.

The mountains are full of yellow jack
cts this summer. They sting the horses
and cattle till the poor animals become
furiously desperate. They gather
around person in the woods as would
a swarm of mosquitoes. If you let them
bite pieces of flesh out of your hands
and neck without attempting to brush
them off, they will not sting you. The
average human being, however, feels
irresistibly inclined to brush them off,
and so gets numerically stupg. Trout
fishing has some days been unendura-
BILE, because a myriad of yellow jackets
would cluster around the fisherman, and
for every nibble received from the trout
they would give him a dozen bites.
Woodmen or railroad men who happen
ed upon nests have been stung so badly
that in instances they were unable to
work for aday or two. The butchers are
compelled to feed the wasps with refuse
meat in certain portion of the shop, in
order to keep them from covering the
cutting blocks. There are hundreds
and thousands and millions of them ev-
erywhere in the mountains around
Truckee. They effectually kill off the
flies. 1t is rare sport to watch their ma
neuvers when catching flies. They
swoop down upon their victim as hawk
does upon its prey. Their aim is gen.
orally unerring, and the fly is carried off
to the yellow jackets nest. 1t is said to
be an old and true saying among back
woOdsmen that the more yellow jackets
there are, the harder will be the winter.
This being true, the coming winter will
be about 5000 times more severe than
any of its predecessors. Thermometers
will be entirely inadequate to mark the
cold, and snow-plough men will not
lack employment.-7ruckee (Cal.) Re-
publican.
