Love for the Soldiers.
Springfield Transcript.

The Republican press have an
abundance ofsympathy for wounded
and crippled soldiers, but singularly,
always before an election. When
that party is once seated in power
there seems to be an abundance of
a~ble-bodied Republicans who kept
out ofthe way Of bullets, to take care
of the offices. Crippled soldiers
were not wanted as usual at Colum-
bus recently when the Republican
Legislature selected it's officers.

The Columbus Democrat peril
nently remarks that "when the Dem
ocrats recognized the State insti-
tutions, the air was full of dismal
howls and groans, as the heads were
shorn off. Now when the other
party is operating the machine there
is no squealing. The Democrats
walk the plank without a murmur."

We have no doubt there are hun
dreds of female '.belles" and male
"swells" in Ohio waiting with bated
breath and pulsating hearts. for the
passage of the Hamilton County ne
gro Representatives. miscegenation
bill, Sc they can fail into the arms
of their ''swartby equals" This
Republican Legislature ought to
pass the bill.

At a recent meeting of the Real
estate appraisers at Columbus, a
resolution was passed that assessors
appraise real estate at its actual
value al over the State, and asking
the Legislature to invent a law re-
quiring owners to return their per-
sonal property at its real value.

The best evidence that the Repub-
licans did not carry the State of
Maine, is the fact of their leaders
attempting to bribe three members
of the Legislature with a thousand
dollars each. They never would
have gone into that kind of business
if they had been satisfied of right
and justice on their side.

The Louisville Journal, while ex-
pressing, in common with the Dem
ocratic press, it's appreciation of laws
which defeat the voice expires
sed at the ballot box, hits the nail
squarely on the head when it says:
"We must be allowed to give ex-
preston to a feeling Of hilarious and
u~ngovernable amusement at the fig-
ure cut by the Republicans. 1t is
mighty funny to see those who
claim it is a virtue that they stole

thought that anybody but them
selves should have the effrontry to
steal q State"

All the Republicans have to do
now is to make arrangements to

The Republican mobiles and cor
ruptionists of Maine stole into the
State House at night with false keys.
It shows what this President steal

The Eaton Democrat denounced,
and still denounces the fraud that
placed Hayes in the Presidential
chair, but endorses the Maine vii
lainy. Fraud is all right in Maine,
but wrong in Louisiana and Florida.
Consistency thou art a jewell"
Germantown Press.
IF the editor of the Germantown
Press had properly and intelligently
posted himself on the Maine villainy,
he would not have made such a silly
charge against IS. There is nc more
similarity between the HAYES fraud
and the Maine ~rascality, than there
is between a turnip and a pumpkin.
The States of Florida and Louisiana
were deliberately and boldly stolen
for HAYES, which he tacitly admitted
when he recognized NICHOLS as the
legal Governor of Louisiana, who
got less votes than TILDEN. The
Maine business was quite a different
thing. Gov. GARoELoN and his Coun-
ell acted in strict obedience to the
Constitution and laws of the State,
and applied them as he was sworn
to do, and precisely as the Republi-
can party had been doing for years,
and we have not seer a single attempt
to prove that such was not the case.
Until Gov. GARcELoN in his message
set forth these facts, and showed
from the Constitution of the State
that he was acting strictly within
the "forms of the law" and the Re-
publicans attempted by bribery and
corruption to prevent the lawful or
ganization of the Legislature, we
disapproved of the action of the
Fusionists. The Constitution of
Maine allows votes to be thrown out
on account of technical errors and
the Republicans have been practicing
it for years against their opponents,
but that does not make it right. 1t
is destructive Unpopular institutions
and contrary to all reason and com
mon sense, to disfranchise the peo-
pie of any community because of the
mistakes of a few ignorant or inno-
cent members thereof, and all such
powers should be %eNpunged from
the statute books of every State
where they exist. The "inconsis
tency" is in the Republicans bowling
"fraud" and gagging at their own
medicine.

Champaign Democrat.

The Ohio house of representatives
spent perhaps half a day, at an ex-
pense of, say $500, to find out
whether that body had been insulted
by an indignity shown Major Will
liams, the oolored representative
from Hamilton county, because Mr..
Beck, a dispenser of cakes and pies,
refused to wait upon the Afro-Ameri-
can. Two reports and a batch of
resolutions were presented to the
house, the majority, of course, being
adopted. In the meantime, Mr..
Beck goes along as usual, dispensing
coffee to the thirsty s%olons, and the
Hon. Williams is INDICATED.

Hon. ID. n. Mcintyre for Attorney General
We are authorized to say that
Hon d. FL. Mcintyre, of this county,
will he a candidate for Attorney
General, before the next state CON-
vention, to be held for the purpose OF
nominating state ticket, to be voted
upon at the November election. In
presenting the name of Capt. Mcln-
tyre for this position it would be su-
pererogation to enter upon any e4-
tended eulogy of the man. He
speaks upon the records of the coun-
ellis of the state. Three times has he
been called upon to represent this
county in the state legislature.
First, in the Twenty Eighth Gen
eral Assembly, in the Senate and re-
elected to the Lower House In both
the Twenty-Nin and Thirtieth Cen
eral Assemblies. Upon his first in
PRODUCTION in the Lower House, he
was appointed Chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee, which position he
filed with signal ability, and was re-
appointed chairman of the same COM
mittee in the Thirtieth General AS
sembly. He also served on the
Joint Committee of Revision, Of the
last General Assembly, and the re-
vlsed statutes published and sent
abroad by that committee is an en-
during monument, testifying to its
wisdom, its industry and it's care.
Capt. Mcintyre is also a thorough
scholar, bearing a diploma of one of
the best colleges of the state. In
presenting his name for the position
of Attorney General we think the
records show him to be all that an
Attorney General should be; ripe
scholar, profound lawyer, e vigor-
Gus prosecutor and wise and pru-
dent legislator. He is a native Mis-
sourian, and his patriotism and love
for his native state, is only surpass-
ed by his integrity, nobility of char
acter, and his lifelong adhereance
to the principles of the Democratic
party.

never lies. His name was Duncan !;
a fellow named Macbeth killed him
at the opera house. Wonder why
White did not give full particulars IL
this case? He generally reports
everything in FULL" He asked
Jouett whether they had done any
thing with Macbeth, and Jouett told
him yes, they had beheaded him. The
gent seemed to feel better. After
asking whether this Duncan was any

went his way.
