The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1879-09-25


for General Ewing Let facts be submitted to
candid world"
We had noticed the same extract in
several Democratic papers, but we did
not think that a committee represent
ing a great party would descend to
such baldfaced deception. The article
from which the above is taken was d
sarcastic one designed to illustrate the
prevalent Democratic campaign logic.
We published it III full III our issue OF
August 6th. The Portsmouth Times
first lilChed the above extract from its
proper connection, thus giving it
meaning exactly the reverse Of that
which it was intended to convey.
What the Standard thinks Of the de
ception may be inferred from the fol-
lowing extract f ON tha5 paper, which
we find in the issue of August 2Sth:
The Port mouth Time should feel flat'ercd
! that its lie about the Standard not supporting
| Foster, is having GOOD run. Somebody hs
! sent us the Lebanon --atriot and MeIgs county
Herad-papers with Which do not eX-
change, with this lie marked.
Now we would ask the Times how much bet
steal.
We can inform brother Mackley
that the same lie is floating through all
the Democratic papers in Northern
Ohio, and that the Democratic Cen
tral Committee have incorporated it
into campaign extra which is being
circulated, through Democratic jou =
nails, from one end of the State to the
othe1. The Portsmouth Times can
no longer claim exclusive property in
the deception. The Democratic party
| oe L., Il,
resentatives, have adopted the lie, and
made it their own.
Meantime the Standard is doing
valiant work for Foster and the whole
Republican ticket. We receive it in
exchange every week, and we do not
receive another paper that is more
hearty in its support Of the ticket, or
that deals more telling blows against
the anti-resumption, Confederate De-
mocracy. Moreover we are well ac-
quainted with Davis Mackley, the
editor Of the Standard. He is a regu-
lar Parson Brownlow in his likes and
disikes, and, like the Parson, one of
the especial objects Of his dislike is
the Democratic party. During the
war times, certain Democrat named
John Morgan, passed through Jack
son, and his followers gutted the
Standard office. The present paper
arose out of the desolation wrought
by Morgan's Democrats, and if, from
that day to this, it has had a good
word to say Of the Democratic party,
we have failed to observe it, and we
have been comparatively close read
er Of the Standard the greater part of
the time. That is the reason the
Democracy hate the Standaad; that is
the reason its journals-and i'll this
case its chosen representatives-are
willing to stoop to any depth of false
hood and deception to vilify and
iniure it.
We will now give the original arti-
Gle, just as it appeared in the Standard
of July 81, 1879. No Democratic
paper in Ohio has manliness, or hon
esty, OF common decency enough to
publish the article in full.
We once heard Of an inidel who
told Christian that he could prove
anything by The Bible. For instance,
he said that he could prove from the
Bible that every man sh )uld commit
suicide. He said he could find this
commando: And Judas went out and
hanged himself-go thou and do like
wise" These are the words Of Holy
Writ, and the connection is just as
fair--just as honorable, as the way
Hon. @ James w. Newman, Ex-Sen-
ator in the Ohio Legislature, and now
editor of the Portsmouth Timec, used
our editorial.
We are personally acquainted with
many honest, honorable men who
vote the Democratic ticket. Men and
Brethren! We ask you in all soberness,
how can you act with a party whose
leaders resort to such course to up
hold their party of slavery, prejudice,
treason and rebellion!
From the Jackson Standard of July 81, 1879
CHARLIE FOSTER Before his NOM
nation, we opposed Charles Foster as
the Republican candidate for Cover
nor Of Ohio. We based our opposi-
ton solely upon the ground that Mr..
Foster and President Hayes were fear
fully mistaken when they thought
that the Southern rebels could be
conciliated by generous treatment.
But when both Foster and the Presi-
dent found that they had made this
great mistake, and were willing to
acknowledge their error, we could not
see why Foster would not be an avail
able candidate, and make a good Gov
ernor, as he was represented to be an
honest, talented maG-=a man Of very
excellent character.
Now we are compelled to do every
thing in cur power to prevent the
election Of Foster, and we appeal to
all Republicans to oppose him, and
go solid for Ewing. Let facts be sub
mitted to a candid world
We have been diligently req ling
about forty Democratic papers each
day, several Of them dailies, and they
universally agree upon the matter,
and you know they never lie. Their
united testimony fully establishes the
following fearful state of the case:
All through the war, as everybody
knows, the Democrats were furnishing
the soldiers to whip the rebels They
gave all the encouragement in their
power to fill up the army, and to fur
nish means for its support. Wien
the armv became thinned out, md
volunteer ng Jagged, it was the Dem
ocrats who encouraged enlistment8.
1t was they who declared that the war
