The Mouniaia Herald 1t was our
good fortune on lho first day of the
County Court to listen to tho speech
of Senator Hereford on the record of
the Democratic party, since 1852. 1t
was, without doubt, one Of the most
conclusive and convincing speeches
we ever listened to, and it is graft
flying to know that it was heard with
deep interest by the audience, The
Senator showed plainly, and beyond
cayil, that the record of the good old
Democratic party was entirely in
the interest of the people on every
question that has divided the paties
since 1862. On the Greenbak ques-
ton the record ofthe party cannot be
assailed by any one successfully, for
the party has uniformly voted for all
the measures that would tend tolight-
en- the burdens Of taxation, and give
the people financial relief. We do
wish all the people of Summers
county could have heard the speech.
1t was. mostexcellent ineyery partic-
ular, conservatiye-in tone, and brist-
ling with facts that could not be
controverted, and must do much to-
ward checking any movement that
has for its object the division ofthe
Democratic party. Mr.. Hereford
did not occupy the time in relating
anecdotes 10 amuse the people for u
moment, but gave them solid facts to
takehome with them and think over.
Such speeches are bound TODD good,
for our people are eminently consery-
alive, and are remarkable for their
good soundiscnse, andjudgment. The
speaker or politician that attempts
to catch thorn with chaff will be woo,
fully disappointed when the bal
lots are countedafter the election

About as villainous an outrage as
has ever been perpetratcd upon the
people of a free State, is the APP
pointment by Judge Baxter of the
United States, Circuit Court, Of Sq-
pcrvisors and Inspectors, to control
and manipulate the elections Of pni-7
GERS in Cincinnati. Ibis donoin the
interest Of the Radical party, in the
hope of securing the election of Re
publican Congressman in Cincinnati
and Hamilton county, Any person
who attempts to exercise authority
over the election in Cincinnati, 9th
er than those appointed by the city,
should be arrested and thrown into
prison. All honest and decent peo-
Pile will resent and resist this FEEDER
al interferencein rthe electionsiof a
State, The Radical party seem to
think that'th6y are the government.

The Democratic party is taking
the right ground upon the Federal
election law It Will be the duty of
the House and Senate of the next
Congress to wipe that law off the
statute book. fit saved by u veto,
it will be the next duty of Congress
to vote no money for the enforcement
of that bill Of abomination, and to
make any application of funds for
its enforcement misdemeanor, md
to tack this clause on to some appro'
priation bill which the Administra-
ton will not dare prevent from be-

If workingmon hope to accomplish
anything for themselves, and hope
