Since the exposure of the robbery
of the widows and orphans of the
Ohio soldiers, by the Republican
party, we don't hear so much about
the poor orphans of the Home.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-12

A Democrat would be very foolish
to throw his vote away on STEVE
JOHNSON. He was a candidate for
Governor last year on the same tick
ct, and his entire vote in the District
was only 1926! In his own county
he polled but 65 votes! Gen. LIFE
vRE is just as good a greenback adj
vocate as JOHNSON, and will do more
for the laboring classes than any of
the other candidates. Vote for him.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-12

Farmers, mechanics and laboring
men, who want their interests repre-
scented in Congress by a man who
fully appreciates the them, should
vote for Gen. LEFEvRE.

From the howl of the imbecile office

expected by this time to hear that
every orphan had been sent adrift
and the Home a bowling wilderness

We are credibly informed that
thirteen voters staid and listened to
Steve Johnson's speech at St. Mary's
last Saturday night. Mr.. johnson
should learn to hold his audience bet
ter before he attempts to ride to Con-
gress on a greenback rail. But let
him go. He'll get around on to the
Democratic track after a while, and
then maybe we Democrats will give
him a BOOST Wapak Democrat.

A great good would be accomplish
ed if the people could be brought to
understand that they, whether rich
OF poor, whether producers or con-
sumers, pay taxes, and are RESPONSE
BILE for the Government. We often
hear of the "tax payers" as a class,
but taxes are paid in rents, in bills
for dry goods and groceries, in the
price of vegetables and butter and
eggs in the market. The poorest
man in the community should under
stand that he is interested in the
economical administration of the
Government, in the rigorous reduc-
ton of public expenditures, in the
incorruptibility of public servants.

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-12

Every soldier in Preble county
should read the letter headed "Col.
WILSON," and then ask himself if he
eau conscientiously vote for a man to
represent him in Congress, who
would connive with a railroad COM
pany and betray his comrades! To
day this man WILSON has his peck
cts filed with railroad passes and
uses them as the reward ofhis treach-
cry. Can he be trusted in Congress?
