CONGRESS SQUARE UNIvERsALIsT CHURCH.
The Rev. W. e. Gibbs preached yesterday
morning from Gal. vi, 10-"The household of
faith" The speaker while attending the Ma.
tional Council of the Universalist church had
been impressed with the growing importonce
of the church. Some 70 years ago the confes-
sion was put forth but few attended. while
at the recent council hundreds of men devoted
to the Universalist ministry gathered to repre-
sent great and growing church. He believed
that the central idea of the Universalist
church is destined to become the faith of the
world. The faith that the Universalist church
holds was not born 100 years ago, but came to
bless the world with Jesus. The hope was
with Abraham that in his seed all the nations
of he earth should be blessed. The church
can point to the early writer's of the Christian
church who are in accord with it in its grand
idea.
The other churches are feeling the influence
of the Universalist church. DR., Thomas, the
eloquent Methodist clergyman Of Chieag co.
when he preached his last sermon in the Meth.
odist Centennial church, was greeted with an.
plause when he declared his disbelief in the

The much flood for thought" pre-
>ented in an ''entertaining STYLE"
by MI. Townsend, Republican can
didate FOR Secretary of State, in his
speech in Eaton last week, was as
follows: Ladies' and gentlemen, how
do you think l would look with two
bushels of yams in my belly?" 1t
brought down the house while the
ladies broke and run, and it convinc-
ed everybody present that to the
Republican party belonged all the
"decency and morality of the coun-
Try" and it should be continued in
power until the crack of doom!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-09

Garfield voted for the salary grab
and held on to it until his constitu-
ents asked him to resign, when he
made a virtue of necessity and car
ried it back to the Treasury. Had
his constituents remained quiet, he
would have added that sum to his
bank account, and the brides he had
previously received. This is the
kind of man the Republican ring ex.
poets the people to elect to the high
est office in the land.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-09

Mr.. Garfield poses as "the states
man with a conscience" The quail
ity of that conscience can Re readily
guaged by an incident related by ex-
Senator Doolittle in a recent speech.
Shortly after aiding to swindle Mr..
Tilden out of the Presidency, as a
member of the Electoral Commission,
Garfield met Hon. Carter Harrison,
then member of Congress, but at
present Mayor Of Chicago. Mr.. Har-
rison said: Garfield, how could you
do it?" Garfield replied: "Carter, il
you held the winning hand, wouldn't
you have played them?'
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-09

After Mr.. Townsend, Republican
candidate for Secretary of State, had
entertained his Eaton audience in an
"interesting way" about the two
bushels of yams in his belly, he
passed a glowing peroration upon
Mr.. Garfield, his eminent services as
a Congressman and his ability and
his honor as a public servant. But
how does the following tally with
Mr.. T~ownsend's bosh:
"REsoLvED," said Garfield's Repub-
lican constituents in convention at
Warren, Ohio, Sept. Z, 1876, "that
There is no man to-day officially con-
nected with our National Government
against whom + justly preferred
more and graver charges of corrup-
ton than are publicly made and album
dainty sustained against James A.
Garfield, the present representative OF
this Congressional district"
Who is to be believed? Townsend
or Garfield's constituents? Each
voter can answer that for himself.

As Mr. MCMAHON did not salary
grab, dabble in Credit Mobilier
stock, or receive a fee of $4,000 for
his influence in q pavement contract
while in Congress, as did Garfield,
it will require more credit than the
average Republican slang-whanging
editor possesses nova days, to con
vince the people he has drawn from
the public Treasury for his services
over $4,000, when his pay is orly
$4,000 per annum and he hasn't yet
served six years! The small school
boy who a compute time 6y the
almanac and understands that two
and two makes four, can, with n slate
and pencil, prove in one minutes
time to the entire satifaction Of every
rational person, that the man who
says it is $4,000, is either a fool OF
a knave.

Some old possum headed editor OF
an anti-"Demo- Confederate" sheet,
has made the astounding discovery
that if Gen. HANCOCK is elected on,
bonds are going to drop about %
per cent! Horrible, isn't it
Wouldn't that be hard on the poor
laboring men and mechanics of this
country? They certainly ought to
vote so as not to distress the poor
bond holders! They have had avery

it would be~o"treason" to distress them
now! Bah! What stuff to cram

A paper devoted especially to the
interests of colored men, and edited
by a colored man, is published at
Montgomery, Alabama. 1t thus dis
poses of the Republican cry of in
~timidation and fraud:
"Fraud is the cry of the Republican
papers of the North about the Demo
cratic party of Alabama. Sing on, as
much and as long as you
please, we colored men aided the
Democracy in rolling up the large
majority and don't you forget it, we
are satisfied"

Townsend's story told in Eaton
about a rebel filing a claim In Wash
ington city against the government
of $1,000, for four hundred bushels
of yams used by his regiment dur
ing the war, two bushels of which he
had in his belly, is a fair sample of
the kind of argument presented by
Republican stumpers, and then label
led flood for thought" delivered in
an "entertaining STYLE" to convince
men why they should vote the Re-
publican ticket, Isn't it about time
men begin to think for themselves,
and refuse to be Influenced by such
miserable tomfoolery?

In no national contest since the
war has the soldier element of the
country been 80 divided as it is be-
tween Garfield and Hancock. Tens
of thousands of Democrats support
ing Lincoln in 1864 and Grant in
1868 and 1872; and tens of thousands
of the soldier voters for Grant will
vote for Hancock. 1t is idle to as
sumo that the soldiers of the war
will support Hancock or anybody
else with anything like unanimity +;
but Hancock will command the larg.
est soldier vote ever cast against the
Republican party since its organiza-
tion. The issues of war as they
were in 1854, or of gathering the
fruits of the var as they were in
1868 are not the same now; but they
are the issues of peace, which the
soldier, while he may march in 9
soldiers club, will decide as a citi
zen and not as q warrior.

from the men who assassinated Grant
at Chicago. Garfield was better than

to feed upon his fame and to rally
the party he had saved twice from

Confederate hero at Gettysburg,
holding a $500 diplomatic appoint
mcnt abroad, given to him by the
Republican administration, while the
Presidential fraud turns loose the
whole horde of his office holders

Men who are depraved and reck-
less enough to deny that the Presi-
dency was stolen for Mr.. Hayes
is not expected to possess honor or
decency enough in their bodies to
do justice to a political opponent

lied about, by correcting their state
ments. We would as soon look for
the Devil to repudiate sin, as any
thing of the kind.

When a soldier comes out of the
Republican party and declares in ia
vor OF the Democrats, he "don't
amount to much,' he is a "silly fel-
low" of very small "caliber." That
is the respect and love the Republi-
cans have for the soldier. Mr..

Longstreet! Honest Republicans,

Every year just a few weeks before
the election comes off, the Campaign
liars" open their business in this
county. They have started on the
"war path" already. They ought to
be known by every honest man, be-
cause they carry with them sneak
ing, sheep thief dog-looking counte-
nances, and go slipping around with
a pretended air of innocence and i'm
portance. They open On small lies
first, and as the campaign progresses
and increases in Importance, so do
these liars grow and become bold
and reckless. The first one that
comes to our ears, started by these
pestiferous curses of community, is,
that up in Jefferson Democrats are
offering to trade off Hi Robbins for
Dan Harshman. Of course it is a lie
of whole cloth. In Somers they
have another one out of the same
cloth, to wit: that Hi Robbins has
been doing work in his office for Re-
publicans without charge! They are
both very weak lies, but as we re-
marked before, as the election draws
nigh these stories increase and grow
big, and we may look out for some
regular roorbacks just on the eve of
voting day. The cause must be al
most hopeless, when such contemp-
tible little stories must be used to
sustain it, and we have but one re
mark to make about the whole bust
ness, and that is, for honest and in
dependent men to pay no attention
to any story i'll circulation about
candidates that they don't know to
be true, but 60 to the polls and vote
