Good gIanagemens ~ Life Insurance.
The official returns for 1873 show that
many of the Life Insurance Companies
are remarkably we'll managed. The
York ranks first, as regards amount paid
for expenses, losses and taxes TO each one
hundred dollars of premium receipts
being only $39.33.
The Union Central Life Insurance Com
panv of Cincinnati ranks second. they
having paid $39.9S to each one hu dred
dollars of premium receipts. The small
amount of loss sustained by the late fail
ures is remarkable when the total amount
invested in the companies is considered.

ton c. H., O., represents this Company.

A NEW game the Democracy are en-
deavOring to play just now in close coun-
ties is to have men from adjoining cOun-
ties come in and hire cOlored men, known
to vote the Republican ticket, to go out
of the county to cut corn for ten days or
two weeks, promising them exhOrbitant
wages, stipulating that they are to work
continuously during the time they are
employed for. This arrangement loses
the men their votes, and the Democrats
hope, by this and other tricks to carry
the legislative tickets in some of the close
counties. The game has not worked very
successfully where it has been tried, how
ever, as the colored men see through it,
and are inclined to believe that men who
would attempt to swindle them out of
their votes would swindle them out of
their wages.

MAJOR B. M. ZEHDEN, a noted German
orator of New York city, is making
speeches throughout the State of Ohio in
the interest of Charles Foster. Major
Zehden spent seventeen days in Ohio in
the fall of 1876 in the interest of Hayes
and Wheeler, and his speeches are said to
have been very effective. He is one of
the custom house officers of the port of
New York.

If is Nailed

Some of the Democratic papers, with
the hope of injuring and defeating the
election of Charles Foster for Governor,
have put i'm circulation the foolish lie that
he is drunken, dissipated man. To this
charge read the following:
FOsTORIA, o., Sept. %.
N. S. MAGRUDER, Mechanicsburg, o.
Dear Sir: Yours is received. 1 have
known Charles Foster for ten years. /
know him to be strictly temperate man
in all his habits. He does not drink in
tOXicants under any circumstances. He
is not now, nor has ever been, connected
with any whisky ring for political or any
other purposes. He is one of my trustees
of the Nj. f. Church; Il sober, quiet, Or
derly gentleman. No purer or more hon
Orable gentleman ever sat in our chair of
state. d. d. MATHEY,
Pastor NJ. E. Church, Fostoria.
When IA party resorts to such base mis-
representations as this in order to elect
Chief Magistrate of the State, or any
other officer, it is time for the people to
rise in their might and show them that
the day for obtaining political victories
by wilfully and maliciOusly slandering
an opponent has gone by. Further, when
party resorts to such glaring falsehOOds
it is good evidence of the fact that they
have given up all hope of success by fair
means, and that the last and desperate
means to be used is a resort to slander.

WE hope every Republican in the
county, who is legal voter, will fully
appreciate the importance of getting his
vote in the ballOt-bOx next Tuesday, and
of preventing illegal voting. Make the
Republican majority as emphatic as pos
sible. Every vote counts.

The people don't want the currency
tampered with; they are satisfied with
it as it is. 1t is as good as gold, and it
can't be made better. If you put pO-
litical party in power who are opposed
TO the present financial system, you put a
stumbling block in the way of business,
and mOneyed men will be cautious about
making investments or using their money
until the new party in power indicates
fully its financial policy. The question
will be whether we are to have all paper,
all metallic or mixed currency, and
whether we are to have contraction or
expansion. The verdict of the people will
therefore be to let the currency alone.
We know what it will be under Republi-
can rule, their policy is clearly defined,
and it will remain as it is; and the peo-
pie want no Democratic experimenting
with it. Let it alone.
