Bro. Morris, of the Miami Helmet,
hasn't published Gen Garield's vote
on the salary grab, nor his remarks
in support of the bill, on page 2l01
of the Congressional Globe, where
he said, "the increase is proper and
ought to be made" Republican
papers will not publish his vote or his
remarks. They seem. contented in
denying the facts about it; but many
well meaning and honest Republi-
cans are looking up these charges
against Garfield themselves and con
sidering them gravely. We have ex-
hibited the Congressional Globe to
at least a dozen of Republicans in
this county, who were skeptical on
| Garfeld's vote in this matter, two of
whom declared positively they would
not vote for him on account of it
These Republican journals dare not
publish the record, because they
know that it would lose them hun
dreds of votes in every county.

Did any one ever hear Of the
"blud" Of any of the old possum
headed war-whoopers bilin' over the
real outrages and crimes that daily
occur here in the north among us,
such as the rapeing of small children
and the cold blooded murders ofmen
and women? Oh, no. There is no
political capital in them, and their
s'blud" remains cold and Indifferent,
1t only "biles'' when some negro
down in South Carolina or Georges
is reported to have been "buildozed'
out of his vote, that he knows nc
more about and cares as little, as 6
mule. Isn't such ST. IF and such can
and hypocrisy about played out will
intelligent and thinking men? W.
believe it is. The result in Main,
indicates it.

It is now announced by the Re
publican press that General Hancock
didn't amount to much in the la3e
war anyhow, and that his services at
Gettysburg were "merely nominal"
That is to say, the nan who bore the
.hrunt of the fight at that battle, who
went charging against the advancing
'Confederates at the head of his men
and fell upon the field stricken with
wounds that were almost NOR
tai, was merely a nominal figure
there. Congress seemed to. have
thought differently, as it gave him a
vote of thanks for his services on
that bloody day. The soldiers who
followed General Hancock on many
a hard fought field will no doubt be
pleased to learn that he was only q
nominal soldier, and that his SER
vices were of 80 little account as to
be hardly worth talking about. 1t
will be q great surprise to the sol
diers to learn how they were decei7-
ed in their old commander. That sort
of talk will make them feel friendly
toward the Republican candidate nc
doubt.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-23

We assure our Republican friends,
that Hancock and English, the Dem
ocratic candidates, are going to be
elected; and there will be 20 fraud
count this time. They are both
Northern men; honest, capable and
worthy. They will faithfully keep
their oath to maintain, protect and
defend'' the Constitution. They will
aim to "form a more perfect Union,
establish peace, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general welfare,
and secure the blessings of liberty"
Our candidates have never commit
ted perjury; have never taken brides;
have never sold themselves to cor
rupt rings in order to rob the people,
They have been honest, capable and
faithful to the Constitution. Re
publican testimony shows that Gar
| field and Arthur are unworthy OF
public confidence.

-Four small children were raped in
the northern States last week by
devils l~inearnate, yet none of the
bowling, snivelling old political
hypocrites, announced that their
'tblud billed" over the outrages! If
some Southern Democrat had spank
ed an infant negro down in Georgia,
oh, Lord, how these poor old time
serving, crouching, sycophantic
creatures, would have rolled their
eyes in horror and gone into pretend
ed conniptions, whooped over the
"Dred Scott decision" and pro-
claimed the "ontrage" too "terribly
sad to be provoking" The misfor-
tune of these outrages and crimes
committed in the north, they were
committed on poor white children,
and have no political capital in them.

The Republican organs can howl
as much as they please, but they can
not convince the people that the ad-
ministration of affairs would not be
safe in Hancock's hands. And Their
utterances from 1878 down to the
Chicago convention of 1880 have
convinced thousands of their reader;
that Garfield is an unsafe and IN
trustworthy man.

Did you ever know a Republican
editor or stumper TO advise men not
to vote the Democratic ticket be-
cause it would be against the labor
ing classes? No sir. But they tell
you not to vote that way, because it
will effect the wealth Of the bond
holders! The Republican party
cares nothing about the poor man, it
is the prosperity of tie rich bond
holders it is concerned in, and con-
sequently its bawling hirelings con-
stantly yell out, if the Democrats are
successful bonds will d%epreciate!
The IDEA of these crlnging knayes
is to stake care of the rich, and the
rich will take care Of the poor!'
Vote to protect the bondholders
Vote to build a money aristocracy
in this country! That is Republi-
canism of to-day. Poor men, how
do you like it?

THE MILK IN THE cocoANUT."

We clip the following from THUR
[IEL's correspondence to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, from the town of
Xenia, which if correct, shows why
the Revenue Ring took such an ac-
tive part in securing the nomination
for Congress of Mr.. Shultz from this
District, and how the bar'l operated
to accomplish it. 1t relates back
two years ago, When Shultz ran in
the District which took in Warren
county:
AT that time Warren was a portion
of the Third District, and Shultz and
Mcmahon, as now, the opposing cam
didates. A certain distiller, doing ar
extensive business and quite promi-
nent in Republican politics, thinking
doubtless that this activity in the par
ty would to a certain extent shield
him from the consequences of violat-
ing the Internal Revenue laws, at
tempted to run crooked whisky into
Cincinnati, and after successfully pur-
suing the game. for some time got
caught at it. He was arrested, indict-
ed, his distillery seized, and had be-
fore him Il very fair prospect OF
spending a few years in the Peniten-
tiary. Feeling that he had not been

necessary to conciliate him in some
way. So u day at the County Fail

The Difference.
DAYTON Democrat.

About two years ago John McMa-
hon defeated u proposition made in
Congress to establish a property
qualification for voters in the Dis
trict of Columbia. If it had been
adopted it would have deprived eve
ry poor mechanic of the privilege of
voting. Emanuel Shultz, when in
the Ohio Legislature, voted for the
Infamous Registry Law, which had
it not been repealed the next year
by a Democratic Legislature, would
have also had the effect of depriving
a great many poor men of the privi-
lege of voting. Which is the best
friend of the poor man, Shultz OF
Mcmahon.

The logic of Republican stumpers
and slang whanging editors is simply
that, every man in the South who
votes the Democratic ticket is a
"rebel" and a s'traitor," and however
traitorous his past deeds may have
been, the mere act of putting a Re-
publican ticket in the ballot box
makes him loyal and patriotic! They
further argue that until the political
complexion of the Southern States
is changed, the Republican party
ought to remain in power. To stop
the clamor about a ''solid South
these States must become Republi-
can, and to be considered sloyar'
you must vote the Republican ticket
