The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-03-25
ATTENTION,
Republicans of Washington TIP.
and the Incorporated village
nf Eaten -

a Mass Convention, or Saturday, March
27tb, 1880, at the Court House, for the
purpose of nominating a Township and
Corporation ticket.
Republicans, believing, as wed do, that
it is for the best interest of the great
mass of the people of the United States
that the Government should be kept
under the control of the Republican
party, therefore, it is our privilege as
well as our duty, to use all honorable
within our power, to defeat the
strategy of the Democracy to gain pos
session of the rolls at the October cleo
ton. One OF the means which they will
employ to accomplish this, will be to
so manipulate the April elections as to
secure the election of Democratic Trus-
tees and Councilman. Recent events
in Maine should warn us of what tricks
the Democracy will resort to for the
purpose of obtaining control of the gov
eminent. They are determined to elect
their President by any means, fair or
foul, if possible, and they have given
us fair warming that they will attempt
to inaugurate their candidate whether
elected or not.
Republicans, we, as law abiding cit
liens. do not wish that the Democracy
should be successful in mexicaniZing
cur government, but we wish equal and
exact Justice meted out to each citizen
without regard to Nationality, Relig-
ious opinions or color of the skin.
Nowletus orally round the Flag once
again." so that we may be enabled to
shout ''the Battle cry OF freedom" in
the election of a Republican President.
Come one. come all, let us organize SO
that we may act in concert, for Gin
union there is strength Let us "show
our faith by II works"
BY order of the meeting,
VIII. Fl. B. MINOR, Chairman.
We give place to the above address
signed by the Chairman of the Re-
publican Central Committee of Pre-
BILE County, in order that Democrats
may know what a whole-souled, big
hearted and liberal set of Republi-
cans we dwell among in Eaton! The
town of Eaton is very nearly divided
in politics, and there are quite as
many heavy Democratic taxpayers
in it as-there are Republicans, yet this
kind hearted and neighborly citizen
demands that the Democrats shall
not have eUen a Councilman in the
government of their property and
homes! A sweet Christian spirit to
rule a community, indeed! 1t is well
catcutated- to- expand its prosperity,
increase its usefulness and invite
strangers to it's peaceful and liberal
limits. Isn't it? With such a spir-
it among US, Democrats ought to
