As Kansas was in a territorial
condition when troops were sent into
it, no sane person disputes the right
of the President to do so. The edi-
tor of the Eaton Register don't dis
play much shrewdness in comparing
the sending of troops into Kansas
with that of q%uartering them in New
York city and Southern States to
control elections, in a time of pro-
found peace.

MosBY who cut the threats of
Union soldiers, draws a salary of
$4,000 per annum, given to him by a
Republican administration, and yet
Nj. Williams does not seem horrifi-

shouts "rebel' and "traitor'' all the
same! What do honest men think
of such hypocrisy?

A respectable looking, but poorly
dressed stranger dropped dead in
City Hall park New York, n couple of
weeks ago. He proved to be Col.
Sedwick ofKentucky, who command
ed a regiment in the federal services
during the late war, and won the
reputation of q brave and skilful sol
der. The body was identified by a
letter found upon it.. This letter
or, rather, circular-was from the
Union Republicans Congressional
Committee, dated at Washington in
1866, and signed by Zach Chandler,
Simon Cameron, John A. Logan and
others. 1t requested Cot, Sedwick,
as an office holder in the second an
ditor's department, to- contribute $50
to the Republican campaign fund
for 1875, and minated that if the
cash was not speedily Forthcoming
"the party" would put somebody
lelse in Col. Sedwick's official shoes.
1t is not known whether the assess
ment was paid, but as the %unfortu-
nate gentleman has been out of en-
ployment long time, the probabili-
ties are that he declined to furnish
the blackmail and suffered the o
sequences by losing his place.-En.

Mr.. Williams started in too early
to brighten the honest voters of this
county into the support of "bayonets
at the polls" by a s~enseless howl
about JEFF Davis and Confederate
Brigadiers." Union soldiers are
coming to the front to expose his

the interest of John Sherman for the

is claimed as a'victory in favor OF
the Fraud wing of the party against

are all very good but weak with the

We heard a Republican remark
the other day that, Mr.. Williams
would serve his party better by drop
ping the foolish howl about JEFF Da-
Wis and Confederate Brigadiers, be-
cause Republicans and Democrats
have both recognized them and give
them offices, and there was no consis-
tency or honesty in his fault-finding.
His head is level.

Key, Longstreet and Mosby!-
What a sweet morsel for MANNED
and on~ealegged Union soldiers to roll
under their tongues? Mr.. Williams
don't you think SO?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-06-05

The test of "loility" of a Confed-
crate Brigadier, is to vote the Re
publican ticket and endorse the
White House fraud. That enlists
the ~sympathies and support of every
bloody shirt howler and idiot editor
of the Republican persuasion, and it
is q melancholy truth that a large
majority of the party swallow the
n~auseating stuff. Mr.. Williams and
the whole horde of Radical office
holders laugh in their sleeves at the
credulity of the people.

AS we are not running for an office
or asking for any, we don't think the
people of this county care a fig
whether we are JEFF Davis. a Brock

Bishop Democrat. There is no issue
of this kind, and what MI. Williams
expects to accomplish by such silly
onsense we are puzzled to know.

think the thing is becoming monot-
onous.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-06-05

Whether we are a Jeff Davis or
Breckenridge Democrat, is not a
question that is now agitating the
voters of Preble county. Brecken-
ridge is dead-Jef Davis is not a
citizen of the United States and we
are not asking the suffrage of the
people for any public position. Such
palaver and political clap-trap is
only lugged in by Mr.. Williams, to
direct the attention of the u~nsuspect-
ing from the real issues and deceive
honest voters into the support of the
Ring party of this county. Will
they close their eyes?
