Mr.. Ii. C. Furness, the democratic lucitel
match alluded to by dayton No 2" IN the
Ottawa Republican, who in company with
Mr. McGlnnis, addressed the people of Dayton
on Saturday evening, Aug. 81, is the match
who struck a large light that is burning full
of undenable facts-facts compiled from
the official records of the party OF pubic
plumber, and well worthy the consideration OF
every thoughtful voter. His speech was not
partisan or abusive, but confined to principles
that should be interesting to every man who
desires honest government and who is honest
himself
Would the dwarted, demented blgot, DAY
ton No 3" still continue the sectional strife,
ing civil service reform, as is practced by the
Great God and Morality party now in power
under title of fraud and the vilest corruption
the people of this land have ever known?
Would he have the honest people OF Dayton
and the county cOndone the damnable villainy
of the republican party to the gloriiication OF
over thirteen hundred pardoned criminals
VINO have plead guilty of robbing the people OF
untold millions?
Would he continue to subvcrt the cOnsttu.
ton of the United States and drag its purity
through the sewers Of filth and corruption rs
demanded by his gang Of torch bearers, who
seek to fire public opinion by issues which
are as dead as the party, whose interests he
strives to keep alivey
Would he ask the people to retain the horde
of thieves and demagogues who constitute the
head and front of his party, and who have
fastened themselves like leeches upon the
people and are sucking the lite blood Of the
nation?
If Dayton No ." expects honest people to
stick to the glorious old God-inspired repub-
lican party" and become one with the brood
OF so foul n nest, he may well call the people
of Dayton idiots, and well too has he assumed
a truly and BETTING name, Dayton No. -
for so long as he may hope to advance the
worship, so long may he expect To be sec0Rd
Dayton No. | is democratic more than
double, and we will stick to it" that this
glorious old God.inspired party of thieves"
will, in November next be recorded Sec0Hd by
a large majority DAYTON No. /.
EARIvllIE, Sept This week we will
give your readers a little European gossip to
commence with. Among the artists OF the old
world at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in
Munich, Bavaria, Mr.. o. ID. Grover has taken
the second prize. This tor young student
and one who has only been there year. is 10
be considered an award of high merit, and
that among some of the old masters in a city
celebrated for its severe criticisms in all works
of high art The report will be read with
pleasure here in Earl, and chief among the
number will be W. r. Haight AMI lady, who
have taken more than an active interest in his
progress and welfare. Then r. ". Elliott has
Just received letter from the Chevalier La
iosse's Photographic Studios in Europe (Which
are among the first and patronizcd by the no
blity) saying that Alfred Elliott has placed
himself at the head of that class IN the past
year So Earl will yet become known to the
outside world for its real worth in more ways
than one.
The Congregational church was filled last
Sunday to listen to an eloquent discourse by
the Rev. Mr.. Wizard, who has Just returned
from his summer trip with number OF others
This damp" weather is sending many OF our
absentees home. Editor SIgnor and family
also return this week and resume the quill"
which will keep us all up to the mark.
But among these arrivals we are unable to
note the advent of any good speaker Now,
why is tins thus? Are we undeservlng, or is
1t because we have no pole" and consequent
ly no flag? Well, the trouble is, there is n de-
cidcd lack of vitality and energy somewhere;
but it Is only dormant, not lost or gone before;
and there is both gold and greenbacks to prop
the stick, and broad platform for the speaker.
Could we borrow one from you for short
tme just to wake Us up little? Think after
we were started we could run alone, for it is
we'll known that there are some fine orators
among u.s. if they could only be persuaded to
speak; in fact, they behave like women-they
don't like to talk. Oh my!
Our republican friends can take their choice
in judging of Mr. Arthur as to whether he is
a fool or knave; most people have been Of
the opinion that Secretary Sherman discharg
ed him from the custom house for being the
latter, but according to his Qhe Secretary's)
latest speech IN Cincinnati 1t was only for be-
ing the former.
Methinks, Mr. Taylor that as stalwar, you
admitted too much last Sunday when you
were surrounded by the chosen people" Do
you know that when you acknowledged that
you believed that the democrats carried Lou
islana last campaign, you at that very time adj
mitted that your party had stolen it! Are We
not correty Dot.
