Mr.. r. +. Ford, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Representative in Fayette county,
is the Oldest citizen of South Plymouth
where he resides, and is very popular and
wealthy. The junior member of the Sat.-
light, having been drought up'' a close
neighbor, predicts Mr.. FOrd's election
4e7ai0 Sunlight.
We can add to the above that we regard
MIR. Ford as Il clever gentleman, and that
ne is wealthy; but, while his Republican
opponent has no wealth to boast of, he
may De quite as popular, personally, as
ms Democratic competitor, and while the
eultOr Oh the Sunlight may predict his cleo
GlOh' we can assure him that the Republi-
cans of Fayette county predict a very
different result. There is a politicaI nrin-
ciple involved in the election of members
of the Legislature, that Republicans cannon
afford to trust to the management of a
Democratic Legislature.

The difference between General Ewing
and Foster is this: The former captured
Lhe rebels, while the latter captured the
Returning Board of Register.
No, sir; the difference is this: While
Ewing might have been lighting rebels
at the front, Foster was doing loyal SER
vice by lighting meaner rebels that were
assailing our Union boys in the rear.
That's the difference.-HefdEd.
No, sir; the difference is this; When
the war broke ouL General Ewing said TO
the boys, ''come," while Charley Foster
said g go. Register.
And now that the war is over, and the
rebel Generals have the power i'll Con-
gress, General Ewing turns his back on
his war record and steps over into the
line of the said rebel Generals, and says
come! But Foster says NO!

THE BellefOnlaine Republican propounds
the following pertinent question to Mr.
Ewing, the Democratic candidate for
Governor OF this State:
If you are elected Governor, do you
propose to hold on to your seat in Con-
gress? And if you are confident of being
elected Governor, why don't you resign
your seat in Congress now, SO that your
successor can be elected in October?
Well answer that question for Ewing.
If he resigns now his salary as Repre-
sentative in Congress will be stopped
now. Furthermore. Ewing knows he
has not the ghost of a chance of being
elected Governor of Ohio.

nIa1re Il sir Hnndred.

The election in this county this fall
can be carried by the Republicans by |
majority Of six hundred votes if the he-
publicans do their whole duty. We know
that the Democrats are doing all in their
mower TO at least reduce our majority, if
thev cannot elect single man on their
ticket. Their emissaries are invading
every neighborhood in our county, dis
tributing papers and documents full OF
Misrepresentation, calculated and in
tended to deceive the honest and unsus-
peeting reader. We warn our Republi-
can friends to beware of these political
| emissaries. The effort is to induce Re-
nubIicans to vote the Democratic ticket,
and get Republicans to help them put
Democrats into official positions-some-
thing they cannot do unless they can, by
their seductive appeals, induce Republi-
cans to vote for their candidates, on the
plea that they are mighty clever fellows.
When they ask you to vote for one of
their candidates on this representation
they virtually ask you to lay aside your
honest convictions and vote in opposition
to the measures and principles that you
| those YOU believe to be wrong. Certainly
t il requires a superabundance of cheek
' for candidate for any Office where his
/ duties bring him in conflict with the Op-
e posite political party, to ask voter Oi
r the opposite side of politics to vote fol
n him. But men have right to be CON
; vinced of the error of their pOlitica
e faith, and when so convinced it is thei
a right and their duty to vote in accordance
It with such convictions. We have seer
n nothing in the acts of the Democratl
a party, either in Congress or in our Stat
e Legislature, that is calculated to cOnvinc
ct the candid, reflective voter that the prin
re ciples of the Democratic party are bes
TO calculated to advance or serve the bes
g interests of the people of this State
=, county. In this view of the situation G
ut political parties, it would be difficult
lr see how any Republican can change hi
n, political principles SO radically as to be
il lieve that the Democratic policy is be'
sh suited to the demands and best interes
ct of the whole people.
nj Now, we repeat that if our Republica
lr friends go to work and vote for the cal
a didates who represent the great prime
it pies of the Republican party, they ca
ld carry the vote of the county by 600 M
lis iority In order to do this let us all 6
is TO work in every township and in evel
he school district and tell the Republican
r. who are lukewarm, if there be any sue
,ht that the success of Republican principl
he depends upon every Republican in q
lal county doing his whole duty. Do th
rn and every candidate on our ticket will
DC triumphantly elected.

WHENEVER you hear a Republican as
sert that the Democratic party of Ohio
or Generals Ewing and Rice. their stan
dard-bearers, are in favor of an uniim-
Ited issue OF gfeenbacks, you may set it
down as a Iact that he is either very ignO-
rant or dtshonest-most likely the Latter
Our platform is plain and cannot he mis-,
understood by any one who will take the
pains to read it arefully.-Register.
General Ewing, in a speech last Satur-
day, at Batavia, where the Nationals are
strong, said to them, in substance, that
he was as bad an inflationist as any body,
but that his mouth was closed by the
Democratic platform, which would not
allow him to go further than to advocate
the unlimited coinage of silver and the
substitution of greenbacks for national
bank notes. These were /" the first stems
the entering wedge" He surrendered
no opinions he had ever held on the
finance question in accepting the Demo-
cratic nomination, but for the present
would only advocate the measures he was
authorized to by the Democratic plat
form. He asked why the Nationals should
not take these as the first steps, g for qoe
cannot take all the steps at once" How do
General Ewing's words to the Nationals
agree with the Registers statement of the
case to the Democracy

for, but Receiver King weakened and
agreed to allow the little road to cross his
line, and peace now reigns.
