GOING TO BOLT.

The Democrats are boasting around
that they will carry the banner Republi-
can township in this county-Madson.
They say 200 Republicans are going to
vote for Mclaughlin They say that
Esq Rules friends are going to scratch
Judge Evans, because Rule was not nom
mated for Probate Judge. They say that
Atkinson is to be defeated sure.
Now let US see. We know that these
stories are Democratic lies But suppose
they are true. 1t is to be expected that
man who has lived all his life, until he
is 90 years of age, in one place, would
make friends among his Republican
neighbors so that very few would vote
for him out of personal friendship. But
why should any considerable number of
Republicans vote for Mr.. Mclaughlin ?
/ is true, he is quiet, harmless, inotfen-
sive, decent man. But there are several
thousand just such men in this county.
What qualifications has he for the office
of legislator None. He is one of the
most bitter, virulent partisans in the
county. He has been d voter in Madi-
son township for 80 years, and we ask
any Republican, or Democrat either, if he
ever, in all these years. voted in one sin
gle instance for any one but Democrat.
During the war he was q copperhead OF
the Vallandigham stripe, being an en-
thusiastic supporter OF that infamous
traitor in 1868.
If any considerable number of Repub-
licans want to vote for such man, we
have no further argument for them.
Judge Evans was fairly nominated for
Probate Judge No one disputes that.
1t may have been bad policy to nominate
him, but it is too late now to talk about
that. No one finds any fault with the
Judge. Suppose the friends of Mr. Rule
undertake to ''rebuke" the convention,
or somebody else, by boiling, and thus
elect Democrat. Then, in the future,
come out for Office, and then they must be
rebuked by the other side. This kind
of thing has been tried by couple OF
factions in this county, and the result
was, Democratic Auditor iour years
What did the people gain ? Among 9th
er things and as a sample, the records
show that Democratic Auditor, and a
Democratic paper, cost the county for
publishing the half yearly statement, $25,
which under Republican Auditor costs
emily 50.
Suppose enough Republicans scratch

They Dare Not Answer !!

1t will be remembered that last week
we called on Emmitt, Chapman and Du-
Halfway, to tell what they had done with
the $9, S44 y due the laboring men who
worked on the s., j. & P Railroad. The
company, by its officer, (said to have been
Emmitt,) made oath that this money was
on hand. The Court (DuHadway) found
that the money was in Court, and that it
belonged to the laboring men. But they
never got a cent Of it, Where is it?
The receiver convinced the Court that
he never had it. Who has it, Emmitt or
some one else? Why did they refuse to
answer our important but civil question ?
Are the people going to vote for EN-
mitt, unless he shall clear this matter up?
We are going to have this matter put
through, whatever may be the result of
the election. We have a little personal
interest in this matter, and must know
what has been done with the money OF
the stockholders

.EMMITT AND NEAL.

Republican friend, perhaps you will be
approached on election day and asked
to scratch Mr. Meals name from your
ticket, and vote for the great represent
ative of whisky stills and swill fed hogs
James Emmitt. If this be the case, just
inform your enthusiastic Democratic
friend that Mr.. Neal has brains enough
to take care of the interests Of the people
of his district, while, as a Congressman,
Mr Emmitt would be a fraud and a
laughingstock. He would be a weak
tool in the hands of scheming Congress
men, by reason of his ignorance. We
find no fault with the old man for being
ignorant, so long as he does not push
himself forward for an office requiring g
men of at least average intelligence. The
only safety for the voters of this district
is to vote for Henry S. Neal.

THEN AND NOW.

Mr.. Guy aud Judge Lawrence both re
marked in their speeches at the Court
House, that the present times, hard as
they are, still are better than we ever had
under any Democratic administration,
and Judge Lawrence read an extract
from the first annual message of Presi-
dent Buchanan, sent to Congress in De
cember 1857, in which he said that the
country was in deplorabIe condition.
All the voters who are under thirty
years OF age at the present time were too
young in 1860, when the Democratic con-
troll of the Government ended, to have
much recollection of the kind of times
we had under Democratic rule. The first
recollection of the young man as 10 good
or bad times only reaches to the times
Immediately succeeding the war, when
the waste Of the war had to be made up
by new production, and labor was in
great demand and wages high. The
present times do indeed make bad con
trast with those Of that period The
older men know all about Democratic
times.
We ask the younger men who live in
the neighborhood OF the furnaces to call
at the office of the furnace and the clerk
can give them some valuable information
if the furnace was operated prior to the
year 1860 Take Keystone, Madison,
Jefferson, Buckeye, Latrobe, Cornelia
and we suppose all the books are in the
Offices, used since the commencement oil
business. Ask the clerk to refer to the
books from the year 1855 TO 1860, and
tell you what wages were paid to the
hands during these five years. Ask him
to give you the prices of provisions and
other necessaries during these five years
Then ask him to give you the wages paid
at the same furnaces during the five
years from September, 1873, when the
panic and hard times set in, up to the
present time, also the prices of provis
ions and other necessaries. We are anx
ious for the comparison to be made. Will
you do this2

Observation-Disclosures

If it would not be considered imperti-
nent, we would like to ask our Demo
cratic fnanciers, who talk so much about
the dull hard times, being caused by a
contraction Of the currency, and scarcity
of money, a few questions.
Any five men who have money, can
establish National Bank If National
bankers can make money by loans, and
there is demand for more money, why
do not more men 60 into National Bank
ing? And furtner. There is National
Bank in Jackson. 1t was established
some years ago, with capital stock OF
100000 Two or three years ago this
Bank reduced its stock one-half, and now
has only $4,000 capital stock Now if
there is a scarcity of currency, and Banks
are making money by the interest they
charge, why did the shrewd men who
own the stock Of this Bank, reduce that
stock e-half? VIII those great and
successful fnanciers, Col. DUNCAN, Major
Dever, or the Rev. Isaac T. Monahan
answer?

There are some nice men engaged in
preaching. We have occasionally seen
some of them. The Ohio Statesman
speaks of one of them:
Peter Welch, of the Gallipolis District,
accused Rev. Spencer of improprieties to
his daughter last winter. A committee
of nvestigation was appointed, and after
examining witnesses at Welch's Chapel,
Rev. Spencer was suspended.
The case against the divine gentleman
is as follows: While holding revival SER
vices at Welch's Chapel last winter, he
went home with Mr.. WEIGH one night to
stay all night The family was crowded
for room, and Rev. Spencer was obliged
to occupy one of three beds in one of the
rooms of the house. One of the beds was
occupied by Miss Welch, a young lady Of
sixteen and two little sisters, and another
by her two small brothers, and the
third by the Rev. Spencer Some time
during the night, and while laboring un-
der temporary ALTERATION OF the mind,
the Rev. gentleman got up and went to
Miss Welch's bed, she being asleep at the

SO LIKE TILDEN

During the trial of the income tax suit
against Samuel j. Tilden, at Marquette,
and seized and carried away the books of
the New York Mining Company, which
books contained evidence Of considerable
Importance bearing upon the case. While
it would, of course, be very uncharitable
to charge Mr.. Tilden with being a party
to any such action, still it bears very
strong resemblance to some of the old
gentleman's former work.

SHERIFF..

Little has been said about Sheriff. al
though it is among the most important
Of the county officers. The candidates
are beth competent men, and either
would make a good Sheriff. We have
known Mr. Jones since he was a child.
His father lived within sight of us-a
quarter Of a mile. Our only objection to
Mr. Jones IS that he is a Democrat. All
through the war he was known as q cop
perhead Democrat, always voting that
ticket, including the infamous traitor
Vallandigham. Mr. Jones ought to have
known better. While he was thus acting
and voting, and opposing the war for the
salvation OF the Government, his oppon-
ent, W. B. Cherington, was a soldier at
the front, rsling his lie. We can not ig-
more the facts. Vote for Cherington

& Card from G. A. Atkinson.
To the Editor Of the Standard:

notice in the Standard of last week a
letter from Mr.. Aleshire. He says in re-
gard to myself, the following-I give his
exact words "He says l admit that he
has no authority to bring suit" Now why
cannot Aleshire tell the truth He does
not even quote me correctly. l never
said that he admitted | had no authority
to bring suit simply. If that were so,
then the Legislature had better do away
with the office of Prosecuting Attorney.
Now here is exactly what | did say: Mr.
Aleshire admits on the streets of jack
son, that | have no authority to bring
suit, because no definite amount was re.
ported. Whenever Aleshire can state
correctly what | charged him with having
said, and then deny having said it, l will
produce the names of the persons who
heard him make the statement. There
is quite difference between having no
authority to bring suit simply, and having
no authority to bring suit, because no def
mite amount was reported. One is no au-
thority under the lar the other is no
authority undcr the report of the committee.
1t seems almost impossible for Aleshire
to tell the truth.
All that | said in regard to Aleshire's
