When You see a man squirming,
you may know that something hurts
him. Witness, the Democratic par
ty, through their tool, Tippett.
The recent Democratic Convention
sat down on Bro. TippOtt pretty hard;
they want him to squeal louder.
The Democratic Convention set
down on Tippett and mashed the
gizzard out Of him. and as he will not
squeal at them, he vents his spleen
ON us.
AS to our calling the Workingmen
Communists &C." IfTippett don't
know it is a barefaced, bald-headed
malicious lie, he has not the little
bit of sense we had heretofore credit
ed him with.
The idiot who edits the Register de-
votes twenty articles in his issue
of this week to MS, calling us EGO

That is about what he called you
Democrats a few years ago, is it not?

such trash, Gibbons asks and expects
an intelligent community opay him
$3.50 for fifty-two installmonts.
The Independent papers were a
unit with the Republican organs
three weeks ago in dcnouncing in
vestigation of the Presidential frauds
andin predicting that nothing ofany
Importance would be developed, but
it is different with them now. The
The Boston Herald was conspicuous in
its opposition to the movement and
in charactcrizing it as a farce. Now
it says:
"Tho dopravity of the Southern
Republican party appears bottomless
No plummet can sound that gulf Of
corruption, There are dceps within
dceps; the infamy is abysmal.
Though it might well be supposed
that by this time public expectation
would be equal to the worst possible
development of carpet baggery," yet
each successive disclosurcso far out
strips the darkest foreboding that it
shocks the community anew. The
forgery of the signature of a presi-
Dental clector is the latest revelation
of iniquity. What base deed the Sc

well to guess. Let the future take

Tho Ohio Republican Convention
did not adopt resolutions in antago-
nism to Hayes, neither did it put in
a financial plank. 1t brings The De-
mocracy to task for redistricting the
State, and insolently says that they
have ogcrrymandcred the State that
a minority of voters will elect ma
jority of Congressman; while the fact
is that the Republicans to-day hold

only 6,OOO in the State, out of the
vote of over 100000.

was served upon Stanley, but he says
he is a U. S. Senator, and must at
tend to the interests of his constitu-

The Republican organ in this conn-
ty, made a target ofCol. Smith, before
the meeting of the Convention, and
since his nomination for County
Clerk, is shooting spoisonedarrow
at him. The people know Col. Smith
and the assaults of the Noni'or upon
him, will not hurt him in the least.
His triumphant election is assured,
The investigation of the past few
days has tended only to confirm all
the evidence given by Anderson and

hear any one denying that fraud was
