IS such they cannot be taxed by State

Of the State who is liable to taxation on

Morgan will perhaps perceive that

Our Republican friends of Eaton

Our Republican friends of Eaton
had a Notification last Saturday
night. We have no objections for
those who win to laugh, shout and
|jollify over their victory. That is
right, but the conduct of a lot of
drunken galoots on the above occa-
sion was d~isgraceful in the extreme.
There are a class of men in this COM
munity of the Republican persua-
sion, who think they have a license
to make blackguards of themselves
and insult their political opponents
whenever their party gains a victory.
and they never fail to do it. Some
Of them ought to and do know better,
they deserve the contempt of every
respectable citizen-some do not
possess the common attributes OF
manhood and are naturally low bred
blackguards-they are to be pitied,
The SCOOTER" ought to have been
packed full of them. Their yells
and curses, and their indiscriminate
destruction of public and private
property in the town, made half the
night hideous, and was a disgrace tc
the winding up of the jollification.-
The whole thing was simply {
young hell upon earth," and NJ
credit to the s'great moral party
that claims all the decency of thu
country. If men cannot rejoice owe
a political victory without getting
drunk and making blackguards o
themselves, our advice would b.
don't rejoice at all. Let Democrat
bear this in mind, and if it shoulc
be found necessary to jubilate do s.
without shocking every principle O
common decency.

stances, $4,000 or So, 600 to a corrupt
man is not to be thrown away, es-
pecially when there was little to be
done for it, and Cakes Ames was a
safe man to do business with. have
no doubt Garfield's jobs generally
were bigger than this; but it would
not surprise me very much if he had
taken even smaller brides on occa-
sions, when the risk was very small.
The simple fact is, that in a case like
Garfield's, the amount of the bride
has nothing to do with the case, ex-
cept to show how long he had been
corrupt, how often he had escaped,
and how cheaply he valued the risk
Of detection. If in the Credit Mobi-
licr. case he showed the slightest
weakness, or the slightest faint of
corruption, it is absolutely certain
that he had had many greater temp
tations before, and it is almost as
certain he yielded to them.

. Is Hancock One?"-.

This of course was authorized by the
Republican committee. 1t was car
ried in the procession. 1t stood for
an hour in the principal street of the
town, and l have not heard this in
famous insult denounced by a single
Republican.
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 was a soldier
in Hancock's old Second Corps. l
received a wound-causing the loss
of my leg-at the battle of Gettys-
burg. While being carried from the
field I saw General Hancock riding
at the head of a column of infantry,
through a perfect storm of bullets,
to close up the ranks. The next
day he fell on tie front line of battle.
l have never voted the Democratic
ticket in my life, but shall vote for
Hancock and Union" this fall. My
blood boils as | think of this scan
dalous insult to one of the. most
glorious soldiers of this or any other
country. I wonders if the soldiers Of
the Potomac Army will stand calmly
by and see themselves degraded by
this insult to General Hancock and
still vote with the party that perpe-
trates this intamy?
If any one is disposed to doubt the
exact truth of this statement, l can
furnish the names of any number of
eye-w:tnesses to the outrage.

Editor Of the Democrat:
SIR desire through the medium
Of your paper, to return my thanks
to the Preble County Agricultural
Society for the kind treatment l re-
ceived during the last Fair. I can
say, and do so truly, that of the
many fairs that 1 have attended, l
have never met a more gentlemanly
and honorable set of men than com
pose the Board of the Preble County
Agricultural Society, and especially
do / wish to mention Phillip Miller,
for his attention to me and other eX-
hibitors. He understands the needs
and wants of exhibitors on a Fair
ground better than any man [ have
ever met and he supplies them with
q willingness that makes all com
Portable and cheerful. With such a
management the future fairs of Pre-
BILE county will be crowned with sue
sess, as was the last, and l am sorry
to hear that Mr.. Miller was not re,
elected, as I cor slider him the ''bone
and sinew" Of your county in fair
business, and without him I fear that
your next fair will BE- materially
weakened. Respectfully,
GLEN BEECHEY.

In the town of Shelbvville, Ind, a
Democratic Sheriff was shot down
in the streets, in the discharge of his
sworn duties, by a Republican! In
the city of Dayton a poor hardwork-
ing Democrat was beaten and tram
Piled to death by Republican roughs,
on account.o of his political opinions.
In the city of Cincinnati, another
poor man was stabbed to death, and
left on the public streets, where he
was found! If the "blud" of any

have failed to hear it. If they had

Garfield's Case Fairly Consider.
ed by a Republican.
From the New York Sun,


Ernest B. Anderson, of Boston,
says, in q pamphlet recently publish
ed by him: Almost the only words
Garfield could utter in his own de.
tense were, "Do you think I would
sell myself for 1922" and it were
much better, for his own sake, he
had left them unsaid. They are
the words of a man utterly devoid of
candor; for the question, as every
body knew except those who were
unable to read, was not n of$329,
but of 1929 plus the value of ten
shares of Credit Mobilier stock,
worth at least $4,000. But leaving
this aside, the appeal contained in
these words is the utterance of 4
fool, or of a man who thinks he ad-
dresses himself to fools. Who ever
said Garfield sold himself for 1922
Who ever thought so? If it we're
clearly proved to me that he had
sold himself for $4,000, l should be
strongly inclined to excuse him on
the ground of temporary insanity.
On nc other ground could | believe
that the Credit Mobilier was the
first case in which he had used his
position for dishonorable purposes.
Men at Garfieid's age, and in his
position, do not sell themselves for
$4,000. But what has that to do
with the case? Sell himself for $780,
The chances are fifty to II that he
had sold himself q hundred times
before AID escaped with impunity.
Had he dreamt that this time he
would be found out, it would have
taken a high price indeed to tempt
him. But, under ordinary circum-

If Democrats were found on cleo
ton day with hands-full of Republi-
can tickets, working for the success
of Republicans, and no Republicans
were to be seen with Democrat tick
cts working to elect Democrats, on
which side would it look to Altman
up a tree" that corruption contri-
buttons were being used? We
would like some bawling Republican
who bowls about Democrats using
money at the election, to answer the
above?

All the space not used by tie stal
wart Republican journals in recalling
all the bitter things that were done
during the rebellion is devoted to de-
nouncing the Southern people for
reviving the memories of the late
var. On n page they republish
those words and deeds of twenty
years ago best calculated to revive
the war spirit and to heat the war
passions of the South, on another
page they denounce Wade Hamp-
ton for, as they allege, doing the
same thin :. While cherishing these
resentments at The North, they are
appalled, that the Southern people
should, as they say they do, cherish
them at the South. In other words
while having an abundance of hu-
man nature in themselves they are
indignant and alarmed at what they
declare is q manifestation Of it at the
South.

1t is not disputed hat Garfield,
while Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, wus paid $4,000 by
the parties interested in the DeGol-
yer paving contract, nor that after,
wards the claim, amounting to some
seventy thousand dollars, we believe,
was allowed by said committee. In
defense of this action of their candi-
date, the Republicans claim that
this $4,000 was a fee for'preparing a
brief, giving legal advice, although
Garfield testified before the Commit
tee of Investigation that he never
did prepare a brief or give legal ad-
vice. These accusations against the
Republican candidate can be proved
by the facts in the case as, one by
one, they come to light. The follow
ing is an extract from a letter ofone

ment firm, written from Washington
to his employers, and will go great
ways in helping the candid mind in

guilt or innocence of this man Gar.

A number of Democrats of Chi.
cago well known in business circles
have signed an address to the pub
lie, claiming that the election OF
Hancock will not endanger or dis
turb the business interests of the
country. They refer to the causes
of the hard times following the panic
of 1873, and the eventful return of
prosperity, and say that it is due to
natural causes. They conclude:
"Hence the claim shat the country
owes its prosperity to the party in
power, or that it will go to ruin if
that party is turned out of power, is
an audacious one, and an insult to
the intelligence of every business
man."
