Why the seitz Law was Passed.

Senator John Seitz, of Seneca
county, is q quiet, dignified country
gentleman, of the strictest integrity
and honesty; a man who would scorn
to do a mean act himself, and who
would pursue with relentless ven
geance any person guilty of a crime
of any sort. Senator Seitz is in
Charley Fosters Congressional dis.
trict, and for many years he has
been aware of the glaring acts Of
bribery openly carried on by Foster
in election campaigns. Last year
Mr.. Foster was outrageously bold
and daring in deeds of corruption.
It was more than the Senator could
bear. From out of his just wrath
eminated what is known as the Seitz
law, for the purity of elections, writ.
ten by him and passed. by the Leg
i%slatnre to prevent Charles Foster
and other persons firm perpetrating
fraud and committing crime!
What a hnmiliating spectacle! eoc

Who Should Have Buggies And Or
gans.
(Washing.on C. Fl. Register

wv ashlng.on Y. IL. Register9
Charles Foster in his speeches at
Columbus ard at Wilmington said
the reason why farmers could not
pay their debts was they bought
buggies for their sons and parlor or
gans and pianos for their daughters.
Foster is Mortified to think that q
farmers boy, who has followed the
plow from early Monday morning
until late on Saturday night should
have buggy in which to take his
mother or sister to church, on Sab
bath morning. In Fosters estima
tion the luxury of a buggy should
be exclusively reserved for that
young gentleman in kid gloves, who
parts his hair in the middle, twirls
his rattan cane, wears diamond rings
on his pretty, little, tapering fingers,
a gold watch with q heavy gold
chain; the whole of his costly outfit
being paid for by the coupons cut
from his fathers untaxed bonds.
What right has q farmers daughter
to a parlor organ upon which to en-
Joy herself when the tolls of the day
are over, or on Sabbath afternoon
when her young associates call to
spend an hour or two with her?
None, whatever, in the estimation of
this man Charles Foster, who is
seeking the votes of these same
farmers to elevate him to the chair
of the Chief Executive of tile State,
which he will never reach.

According to the statement of
John Sherman, the expenses of the
general government for the years
1877, 1878, 1879 and 1880, will
amount to $5A6, 00,450,82 under a
period of which the Democrats have
the House all the time, and the Sen;
ate a part of The time. For the years
1873, 1874. 1875, and 1876, when the.
Republican party was in complete
control of every Department of the
Government according to the official
records the expense was $710,995,,
1888 which is $164,0 94, 832,H
more than a D moeratic House
would allow appropriated since 1876.
The people Of this country by scout
ing a Democratic majority in Con-
gress have, therefore, saved in four
years, according to John Sherman,
and the report Of the Treasury De
partment, $164, G94, 932,7I, or an an
nual saving of 81, 023, 708,17, or
one dollar annually to each inhabi-
tant of the State at the last sensus.

The editor of the Register is work
ing vigorously for political capital
at the mine he thinks he has diseov-
cred in the Yazoo murder. His. ar
gument seems to be that, because
one ruffian shoots another in "a
Southern city, the people of the
North should rise up and annihilate
the Democratic party! He is igno:
rant of the Observation-Disclosures. He
keeps his readers in the same fix.
He is an e~nterprising journalists
He is a sweet specimen to run a
newspaper. He ought to start a
daily! But, the sensible voters OF
the north are not very likely to see
why they should infict upon them
selves the penalty of murderers at
Yazoo or anywhere else, by giving
the Republican party power to con-
tinue to destroy free elections, OPP
press the laboring men, enrich the
bondholders, plumber the Treasury
and wind up by stealing the Presi-
dency! .

One Dollar a Day,
Bowling Green Democr

lBoWilng 0feen Democrat-1
Some Republicans denythat Char
ley Foster said that s'one dollar q
day is enough for laboring menI'
Well, that don't prove it. Wm. Col
lar, abusiness man of this place,
and who has always voted the Re-
publican ticket, says that he. was.
present and heard Foster say in 4
speech at glastonbury, Sandusky:
county, Ohio, that zone dollar a day
is good enough for laboring men,
and they should not have as fine food
rs q rich man-coarse vitaals are good
enough" Mr., Collar says hereto
fore he has voted for Foster, but he
a never have his vote again. He
says Fosterdid so, and that he is no
no friend of the laboring class nor
never was, or he would not have sold
calico for 621 cents to the wives of
men earning $13 a month from the
Government, and also by the widows
made by the war. 1

A correspondent of the Camden
Herald from "an out Township"
says that Deem, our candidate for
Treasurer, is known there as "Hon-
est John, the poor mans friend"
and adds that many Republicans
will support him. So they will in
Eaton and Washington township.
Every body knows him to be an
honest, square, upright man, and
the friend of the poor man! His
election is certain.

When Sheriff Snyder was . candi
date, the Eaton Democrat tried to
prejudice the people against him by
declaring that he was a CRUSADER.
And now it would like to prejudice
them against Cooper by saying that
he was to see Mr.. Ackerman.
The Register states an untruth in
the above. We have not said a word
about Cooper being at Ackerman's
beer garden. We are willing to grant
Mr.. Cooper the same privilege we
would MI. Deem in his electioneer-
ing business, that is the difference
between the DEMOCRAT and the Reg
iStey.

After the October election the Re
%publicans of this county will de
mand a new commander for their
dismantled forces. Under the man
agement Of the present one, their
majority has been each year going
down, until it has almost touched
the bottom. Personal abuse and
malignant and ~cowardly attacks
upon men will not convince honest
people that the Republican party
is Saving the country"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-11

No man in the County pays his
laborers more literally than John
T. Deem, and no man would be bet
ter pleased to have them receive
double what they are getting now,
but the internal contraction policy
of the Republican party and the petit
tons of the tax payers Of Eaton fore
ed him to vote for a reduction. La
boring men should remember these
facts ard put the sencure and blame
the right pace.

Gen. EWING shows up the hum
bug of Shermans funding operations,
and how the country is benefited by
it. 1t has increased the principal of
the bonded debt 100000 and in
the years of 1878 and 70, over $1s,-
100000 more of interest has been
paid out than when he took charge
of the funding operations! How
long will it take the people of this
country to get rich under such q
brilliant financial policy?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-11

It is astonishing, nay, it is alarm
ing, according to the Register, the
number of "psominent Democrats
who are as usual in this county, de-
claring against our candidates! But
under the superior leadership of
Generalissimo Williams ever since
he took command, the tally sheets
show Democratic gains! 1t will be
the same this year-you can bet on
it. Mark it down.

John T. Deem has the credit as q
member of Council of reducing the
wages of the laboring men on the
streets of Eaton to one dollar per
day, and having said that good men
could be had for seventy-fiye cents
per day.-Register.
The editor of the Register started
out in this campaign to run it on
bold assertions and unvarnished
falsehoods. He has an idea that
this kind of argument will convince
voters that they ought to support
the Republican ticket. He viii find
himself worse mistaken this year
than last. The masses are becoming
too intelligent to be swayed by such
disreputable means. Now in the
above statement there is mt 8 word
of truth, as the facts and record at
the Council Chamber amply prove.
In the first place, the wages of the
laboring men were never reduced to
one dollar a per day, nor even a pro-
position to do SO. At the urgent
solicitation Of many Of our heaviest
tax payers in Eaton, such men as
Mr.. Benjamin Holman, L.. T. Nc
Cabe, w. Cleveland and others, Chas.
Brookins introduced a proposition
at q meeting Of the Council to reduce
the wages ofseommon laborffom ST.,
so to 1925 per day, and that Of
teams from $3.50 to So per day,
which was carried into effect, every
member of the Council voting for it,
The wages for g~uttering, dc, was
left at $3.50 per day, the samesasit
has been for several years. These
are the facts about the reduction of
laboring mems wages, and ifthe ed
itor of the Register can make any
political capital out of it for the Re-
publican candidate for Treasurer,
he is welcome to it. We don't be-
lieve he can, because the laboring
men, the mechanics and the poor
men of Eaton, know too much of the
open-hearted liberality of Mr.. Deem
to be prejudiced against him by such,
unblushing falsehoods and state
ments. "a

Every little squib or correspon-
dence that appears in print within q

1t does seem to make a wide diff
ference with some people between a
Democratic candidate going into a
saloon, OF a Republican. In the
one CASE it is "his privilege and right

it is an everlasting outrage and
should be unanimously condemned
by the votes of an outraged commu-
nityi 'Rah for Republican consist
ency.

When you vote in favor of Repub-
lican legislation and against the re-
storation of the old metallic level of
prices through the unlimited coin,
age Of silver, do not growl at hard
times, Improbable business, low
wages, lack of employment, pressure
of debts and taxes, because that is
what you vote for; and because by
so voting you declare your willing
ness to bankrupt yourselves and i'm
poyerish your families, merely to
keep the office-holders of your party
fattening at the public crib.

Last year the "whoopsa-loo" Of

There is dirt throwing contest

The Register is rehearsing its old
campaign story about knowing SO
many Democrats in this county who
will vote the Republican State and
county ticket. 1t is all o lie the
some as other years. 1t don't i'm
prove any by adding a year to its
age as the figures will prove when
the votes are counted out. 1t has
done so every election since Mr..
Williams has had charge of the Ea-

be displaced after this campaign!

While JoHN SHERMAN is laboring
with might and main and with the
aid emest intricate problems Of
mathematics to make people believe
that the Republican party has been
economical, we desire to call atten-
tion to a few easily-understood facts.
The House Of Representatives is the
judge of how much money is needed
to run the government, and makes
the appropriations. The Democrats
have held the House four years. For
that time, in spite of the strenuous
opposition of the Republican depart
ment officials, they have run the
government for 1904, 61s, 900, cxclu-
siye Of the interest on the public
debt. For the few preceding years
the Republicans held the House, and
they run the Government for $685.
500, 600, exclusive of interest on the
public debt. In other words, the
Democratic house has saved the
country $S4, 72O, 600 in four years.

If the Laboring men of Preble

laborer?

When a man goes about the coun-
try telling the people that the Dem

want slavery re-established, want to
saddle themselves with the rebel

all such preposterous nonsense, it is
evidence that he is either a knave or
a fool!

CHARLEY FOSTER said in a speech

nor?
