The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-02

The Eaton Democrat has a faint
recollection of its support of Ben
LeFevre, two years ago, and what
it got for it, and now it rears and
charges and paws the ground about
"Shultz's bar'l."- Germantown Press.
The Eaton DEMOCRAT is q demo
cratic paper-Gen. LeFevre is q
democrat and he was supported be-
fore his nomination and after it by
the DEMOCRAT, for which we are will
ling to make oath before any magis-
trate in the country, that we received
not one dime or dollar from the
hands of Gen. LeFevre or any body
else for our services, beyond what
reimbursed us for cash paid out for
legitimate campaign purposes
There are a few old political dead
beats in this county, trying to break
the degrading force of Shultz's bar'l
by such an insinuation. as the above,
but is a lie out of whole cloth. They
have been purchased like a "drove
of steers and hogs" and feel their
degrading condition and want to put
others On O level with themselves.
It won't win.

What leading Republican editors
said about Garfield in 1878, is now
disposed of as "stale lingor' One
from the Eaton Register of April IT,
1873, reads thusIy: "H. B. VS.. pic

in the Cincinnati Gazette, as a mid
robber, could not be improved

every day.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-02

Every honest Republican in the
country should follow the example OF
John w. Forney, Of Pennsylvania,
and "revolt" against supporting a
man for the Presidency with such a
record as Gen. Garfield. How
these men who branded him as a
midnight robber," a "perjurer," a
"corruptionist," D "disgraced Con
gressman," and invited him to re-
sign his seat in the House, can now
support and defend him, is a piece
of political and party degradation
unfathomable. Such, however, is g.
specimen of the consistency of the
Republican party.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-02

Republicans of Preble county, re-
member that the charges of bribery,
perjury and corruption made against
Garfield and Arthur, your candi-
dates for President and Vice Presi-
dent, did not originate with Demo
Gratis, but came from members of
your own party, and every n of
them is supported by Republican
witnesses. That being the case, is
it strange that thousands of honest
Republicans avow their intention to
vote for Hancock? The only way to
get a pure administration is to elect
honest men to office-men like Han
cock and English, against whom no
charges of corruption or can be
1 made.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-02

In a speech lately delivered John
Sherman made a dirty fling at Gen.
HANCOCK, by referring to him as a
"person fed and clothed by the Gov
eminent" MI. Sherman ought to
be the last person to say anything
about that, when he and the whole
Sherman family have been pension
ers on the government all their lives,
and to-day, while Gen. Hancock is
being "fed" by virtue of honorable
services, and holds his position
through creditable means, John
Sherman owes his to a gang OF
scoundrels whom he instigated and
assisted to commit the infamous
crime of stealing the Presidency
and getting himself into the Cabinet

The Philadelphia Times very SEN
sibly remarks relative to the latest
story gotten up by the Republican
campaign idiot, that "when an organ
in Virginia, run by a postofice reve-
nue or other commission, declares
that Senator Hampton said one thing
and Senator Hampton himself says
he said something else, we believe
Hampton because all who know him
regard him as q truthful man, and
because he has been one of the most
earnest and consistent of the South
ern soldiers in giving and advising
implicit and cordial obedience to the
inexorable lessons of the WAL" This
is the common sense view of the
matter, and the view that any man
would take whose brains are not ad-
died by the reading Of much bloody
shirt literature. Still the organs will
continue to print the stupid lie until
the campaign is over.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-02

Not a Republican paper in the
country can be induced to print the
verdict of the Poland Committee,
finding Garfield guilty of bfibe tax
ing and false swearing. Not q Re-
publican paper in the country can
be induced to print the decision of
Judge Farwell, declaring Garfield
guilty of using his position in Con
gress to help rob the Treasury. Not
a Republican paper can be persuad-
ed to publish the letters of Hayes
and John Sherman, giving their rea-
sons for removing Arthur from the
Collectorship of the ports of New
York, and which showed him guilty
of dishonesty and of permitting
bride taking to be practised. These
verdicts are all Republican verdicts
Republican history-Republican
music in the air, but no amount of
persuasion can secure a 'mere men
ktion" in Republican~organs.

: The Republican party in this cam
paign appeals only to the passions,
the prejudices, and ignorance of the
people. 1t is trying to run q cam
paign upon the issues that every in
telligent man knows have no exis-
;~tence, and set afoot stories that are
both malignant and utterly false,
and expects TX of sense to believe
them. The assumption which the
party managers have made is that
the average voter is an ass and can
be deceived by any sort of stupid
twaddle.

How the Soldier Boys Vote.
Newark Advocate.

Four companies of the Seven
teenth Regiment, o. N. G., lately
encamped at the "Old Fort" just
before breaking camp took vote
upon their Presidential preferences.
Following is the result:
Dresden Guards-Hancock, %:
Garfield, 10.
Atherton Guards, Hebron-Han-
cock, 25; Garfield, Is.
Ashland Guards-Hancock, Is;
Garfield, Is.
Mansfield B-lues-Hancosk, 25;
GarESld, Is,
Total-Hancock, 95; Garfield, So.
This is a specimen of how the
"boys in blue" feel, and how they
will vote next fall. They wisely
consider that the man who saved the
country on the field of battle, will
guard its interest as sacredly in the
White House.

Notwithstanding WADE HAMPTON
writes q letter, stating plainly and
distinctly hat he did not make use
of the language attribu ted to him at
S~taunton, Va, or anything like it,
the Republican papers continue to
charge it to him all the same. Very
honorable journalism, isn't it? Fair
minded editors, ain'tthey? Forgery
and fraud is their only hope. Is it
any wonder their party is being de-
serted by cor and hundreds of
honest men? Who would want to
read or patronise a journal so cow
ardly, so grovelling, so shameless, SO
malignant, so narrow and bigoted, so
unfair and dishonorable, that it will
not retract or correct an injustice
done a political opponent?

Hon. John A. Mcmahon in Ea-

TOM.
MI. MCMAHON came over to Ea-
ton on Thursday last, to examine the
condition of his fences and fix up
matters generally for the campaign.
1t was not his intention to make a
speech or hold q public meeting on
the occasion, but the Hancock and
English Club made up their minds
that he should at least address them
on his his arrival, and on Wednes-
day afternoon posted a few bills an
nouncing the fact. The notice was
short, but when the hour appointed
on Thursday evening came and Mr..
Mcmahon appeared on the stand in
the public square, an audience OF
some three or four hundred persons
had gathered around to hear him,
and a more attentive and seemingly
better pleased. set of people never
before left that square after a poll
tical meeting. His speech was calm,
gentlemanly, argumentative and
truthful, and was listened to closely
and attentively by the audience,
among which numbered many Re-
publicans, n of whom remarked to
US after he concluded, that cit was
the -cleverest and fairest speech he
had heard from a Democrat for along
time" In speaking of the Republi.
can candidate for President, he quot
ed only from their party organs, &c
show Garfeld's connection with the
SALARY Grab, Credit Mobilier and
DeGolyer paving frauds. His ap
peal to the young men of the country
to rise above mere political preju
dices in a crisis in which money i!
to be elevated above merit and char
%acter, was one worthy to be consid
cred by all, nc matter of what poll
tical persuasion. His address her
done him good and made many warn
friends for him and the cause o
truth and justice.
We furnish in a supplement to tn
readers of the DEMOCRAT this week

cinnati Commercial, does not deny
the authenticity Of the following
paragraph:

WE home the SONS of Oakes Anne

We hope the sons Of Oakes Ames
will excuse US for not complying
with their modest (?) request, to
publish four columns in order to
prove that Garfield is innocent of
the Credit Mobilier swindle. Cakes
Ames' note book, and the Poland
Committee, which was a Republican
committee, has settled that matter
so effectually, that his sons cannot
change it if they were to write ten
columns of contradictions every day
during the balance of their natural
lives. Excuse us, gentlemen.

Fools who believe that another
great rebellion, or the payment of
the Rebel debt, T imminent, are
only now found among political
knayes, in the postoffices, editing
"small fry" Republican journals, in
%lunatic asylums, and among those
persons who have tried their pop.
ularity and merit for office in every
faction AID party that ever existed.
Look around you and see if this is
not a fact. No man outside of the
class above enumerated with a spoon,
full of brains, believes such stuff.

The "small fryn bloody shirt Or
|gans are worried over the Alabama
election, and talk about the vote the
Republicans ought to have had there.
Nobody but a fool would expect q

had no ticket in the field! But any
thing to divert honest voters from
the record of their Presidential can
didate is what these fellows are Ia
boring, and nothing more.

Here is what. Forney says in his
Progress, about the mud flung at
the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent:
General Garfield's were
not Democrats. He was brought to
the bar by his own party, by the Re-
publican press and the Republicans
of his own county, by the Republi-
can committees of his own congress
sional district, by the Republican
Congress of which he was q member
and by a Republican court of JUS
tice."

The Republicans are making des-
perate efforts to carry Indiana by
importing colored voters from the
South. According to Republican
logic the colored people make excel
lent voters so long at they vote the
Republican ticket, but very poor ca
diets. If one of them gets into West
Point they slit his ears and then try
him for self-mutilation. Oh, Republi-
canism, verify thou art q fraud.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-02

The Republicans are beating their
gongs and making oil the noise pos
.sible to attract the attention of the
people from the d~isgraceful record OF
Garfield and Arthur, but it won't
work. Either the published account
of their connection with the Credit
Mobilier and Salary Grab, and the
Custom House jobs are correct OF
there should be a defense. By their
silence Republicans acknowledge
them to be true.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-02

The Democrats had no motive to
pei petrate fraud in Alabama. Their
large majority is the result Ct a re-
fusal of the Republicans to spend a
cent or make a fight. When they are
not numerous enough to carry an
election in the south the negroes are
instructed not to vote at all, so as to
give IN appearance of intimidation
for effect at the north.

What Account Would Shultz be
if Elected?

Nh. McMahon made a good point
on Shultz in his speech in Eaton, on
Thursday evening last. He said
that Mr.. Shultz had been in the
Constitutional Convention and a
member of the Legislature, and had
been a candidate for office six or
seven times; that while in the Leg
islature and the Convention, he had
never done more than vote, and new
er defended OF opposed q measure.
That in all his runs for office he had
never expressed his views of public
affairs upon the stump. Now, said
Mr.. Mcmahon, there isn't a town
ship in Preble county, where at least
fifty per cent. of the farmers couldn't
take the floor, and with previous
practice, oppose or defend any mea-
sure in a speech, if they desired
