The above is the amount drawn
from our County Treasury this year
to help run the County Infirmary.
We appeal to every taxpayer in the
county if it is not enormous, consid-
ering the advantages of the splendid
farm from which so much is produc-
ed for the maintenance of our poor?
Don't every man in the county feel
that there is something wrong in the
government of that institution and
that a change is needed. Vote for a
new man, and see if our poor will
not be as well cared for and at o less
expenditure of the public funds.

Democrats.

Remember that the Democratic
party has control of a majority of
the States of the Union. We have
the control of the State of Ohio, a
majority of the Representatives in
Congress and both of the United
States Senators. We have the ma
jority of the House and Senate at
Washington, and we're cheated out
70 the Presidency by fraud, backed
by the Federal army. 1t has been
a long and tedious fight, but one by
one we have captured the strong
holds of the enemy until the Repub-
lican party holds power by the slen
der thread of the Presidency alone,
and that by a fraud which, if not
rebuked by al indignant people,
will ultimately prove a death blow
to the right Of the people to govern
themselves. No Democrat should
falter now. This country is doomed
to be ruled and dominated over by
the Money Power as Represented by
the Republican party for years to
come unless it is rescued by the De.
mocracy. No other party has the
power TO do it. This country was
governed by the people as represen
ted by the Democracy for the first
seventy years of its existence, an6
byit made the greatest nation or
earth. We have driven the enemy
into his last stronghold and if W,
are united the year of 1880 will wit
ness the complete restoration of tn,
Democracy to power, and the coun
try will start upon a period of it
greatest prosperity. Stand firm b,
the party of Jefferson and jackson
and the principles for which yo1
have SO long and bravely fought vii
soon triumph. Follow the lead o
the gallant Ewing, carry Ohio, an
the victory is won.

Farmers

You know the price Of oil your farm
products have decreased from one
third to one-half! The cause Of the
decline in the price of all these
things is Republican contraction.
The reason your taxes have not de
creased is Republican legislation in
favor Of the Bondholders! If you
desire this condition Of things to
continue, vote for Foster. If you
want the price Of produce and your
taxes to be more equal, vote for
EwING!

ted to make money scarce and dear

Calico Foster, in his speech here
explained the cause of hard times.
He said it was caused by the "farm-

of themselves and dressing too ex-
travagantly." Why, said he, "many
of these fellows became so extrava-
giant that they purchased buggies
for their sons and pianos and organs
for their daughters" That was an
uncalled for extravaganza! They
should have engaged in selling cali
co, then they could, like Charley

Pay no attention to any stories you
may hear about any of our candi-
dates. There are a few little pot
house politicians around Eaton, who,
for q few dollars, can be hired to
peddle over the county almost any
kind ofroorbacks against Democrat
ic candidates, in order to induce
honest and unsuspecting men to vote
against them. 1t has been done in
the past and may be done again.
The Seitz Law ought to have been
made to graphic such fellows and
put them to work for the State.
They are meaner and more despica-
BILE than those who openly buy votes.
Look out for them.

Farmers of Preble county, Charley
Foster, in his speech here said you
must economize. He said you had

In the letter WENDALL PHILIPS
wrote some time ago, giving his
opinion of the Republican party and
declaring that it was unfit any long
er to govern this country, he alludes
to its oppressive and unjust legisla-
ton against labor and in favor of
capital as follows:
This tyranny of the money power,
which breaks down our strongest
men and makes bankrupt our strong
est merchant, is something to be
feared. The slave power we have
defied and perhaps we have killed it.
During the last fifteen years labor
has been eronously taxed, while cap
ital was exempt. In all these years
| Congress has shown no sympathy
with Labor, and, when legislating at
all, has uniformly legislated in favor
of Capital. A binder policy and at
the same time a more unjustly op-
pressive one, was never pursued in a
free country, and the only wonder is
that the issue has not come sooner"
