The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-10-30

The Republicans are determined
to re-district the State. They have
rope plenty and will surely hang
themselves. The proper and legal
time to do this work would be in
1881, and they will find that purely
political legislation will be no more
profitable to them than it was to
the Democrats.

The election being over, we ex-
pect to devote our columns more
than heretofore to miscellaneous
matters, general news and local af-
fairs, and hope to enroll many names
on our subscription book not now
there. We say to our friends, circu-
late Democratic papers, and by so
doing build up the only true and liv-
ing party in the country. We have
been defeated in Ohio this fall, but
we must ultimately triumph. We are
not discouraged. We must preserve
our organization intact and prepare
for another and more vital contest
at the ballot-box, believing that
truth is mighty and will prevail. Be
gin to organize now. 1t is not too
soon.

The Stark county Repository says
a fellow there was very anxious to
obtain an office, and to be popular
with those present, joined church
and helped to raise money to pur-
chase a bell. 1t don't say whether
he was as successful as some of our
church brethren in Eaton, or how
loud the bell rang out over his defeat
or success, but gives the following
as his speech or entering his mission
of electioneering love and religion:
"Brothers and Citizcns:-I desire
to give you ten dollars for your bell,
and when it's tones ring out on the
morning air, remember me. 1 am
not a eoncussfng Christian, but my
heart is with the cause. | love to
read of how Jesus was attempted in
the Garden of Sodom, successfully
navigating the earth in an ark, not
withstanding the prosecutions of his
punchus pilot. (Sensation and tit
tering on the back seats. God
moves in a MYSTERIOUS way his blum
ders to perform. He alone knows
why he allowed Jesus to live for nine
hundred years, only to die in a man
ger, after being kicked by a Jack
ass. daughter. My friends, ! am
not a christian, bnt l am a good n AN;
and after / am elected County
as I expect to be with your help
1 expect-tc give my heart to Moses
and save my spiritual bacon" An:
other sensation was here observed
in the audience, and just as our can
didate friend was pickering to pro
coed, n of the brethren broke out
Justly with the good old tune, 81
want to be an angel"

ANOTHER MURDER IN ROCK
COUNTY,.

"A brutal murder was committed
near Milton, Rock county, on the night
of the 18th instant Between one and
two o'clock Sunday morning two clo-
yer stacks, which stood on the land OF
MI. Alexander, were discovered to be
on fire, and some time afterwards the
body of man or what remained of it,
was found in one Of the stacks. It was
burned beyond recognition, but the
bones showed that part of one of the
legs was missing, which had been am
putated, and that the head had been
crushed with some heavy weapon
Blood was tracked to the house Of Ed

Henry Christensen and Mrs. F0garty
at first claimed that Fogarty was in

night, and showed no guilt in their APP

am the guilty party and all | want is
justice and law; but the woman is not
guilty; she knew nothing about it. l
did it alone and had good reason for
it." He claims that they had been
drinking, and that Fogarty insulted
him, drew d revolver and threatened
to shoot him; that lie knocked him
down and took away his revolver and
went out of doors; that Fogarty fol-
lowed him and he picked up an ak,
struck him two blows and killed him
and then carried him to the clover

to the house.

OHIO AND IOWA ELECTIONS.
The elections In Ohio and Iowa last
week ere carried by the Republicans
by large majorities.
They have elected in Ohio Hon.
Charles Foster Governor by about
10000 majority over the Democratic
candidate, and all the Republican can
|didates for State offices. They have
also elected a majority of each House
Of the Legislature and will have ma
jority On joint ballot of at least thirty
three. This will insure the election Of
Il Republican &. S. Senator in place of
Senator Thurman. 1t will also secure
the redistritting the State removing
the Ubiquitous Gerrymandering the
State by the Democratic Legislature
The victory is complete and is a sure
presage Of Ohio, which was considered
doubtful before this election, for the
Republican candidate for President in
1880.
In Iowa the Republicans have re-
elected Governor Gear by 10000 or
10000 or more over all other candi
dates and all the State ticket. Of one
hundred members of the Legislature
elected the Republicans elected IS.
OF the remaining Is the Democrats
elected IA and the Greenbackers !.
And in the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict to fill a vacancy the Republican
candidate was elected. The only ques-
ton before election in Iowa was how
large the majorities would be. The
victory is complete, and when the re-
turns are all in and the votes canvassed
the majorities will be found large
enough to give general satisfaction.
