In 1880, when workingmen of Ohio
were being UNANIMOUSLY and shame

Coming to their Senses.

The Columbus Dispatch says that
it fears that the wonderful and cred
liable outburst of patriotic sympathy
and genuine spirit of Amerieanism
that displayed itself everywhere and
without regard to party over the
wicked and causeless attempt on the
life of President Garfield, and which
if left alone would do so much to
make the American people better
and give all sections and all parties
a better understanding ofeach other,
is in danger of being marred and
destroyed by the attempt to turn it
to partisan account. 1t is with a
feeling of profound sorrow that we
are compelled to say that the appre
tensions of the Dispatch are well
founded. The leaders of its own
party, Governor Foster, and such
Journals as the Cincinnati CONNER
cial announce, not by implication,
but by words, that every vote cast
for John w. Bookwalter or for any
other candidate for Governor than
Charles Foster, is an endorsement OF
Guiteau's infamous crime. This is
not only an insultto every Democrat,
and every other voter opposed to
Governor Foster-40O, 900 of them
in this State alone-but is a crime
against humanity and public decen-
cy. If this spontaneous outburst OF
feeling is to be consumed upon the
unclean and unholy altar Of the Re.

but little hope for the future of the
country, for with such a sacrifice al
feeling of fraternity will die, and the

unbridled license, will be opened
If the 36O,000 Democrats of Ohio are
to be branded as the accessories o
Guiteau, the .red-handed Republican
ofice-seeker, because they refuse t.
vote for Charles Foster, the scheming
and trimming politician, then indeed
the pernicious "spoils SYSTEM" hav
ing overthrow reason and made
monstrous lie triumphant, will be il

The Eaton Register of last week

that this Republic is nea its end:

Some fool might have charged" that
Mr.. Bookwalter is a "monarchist"
just as some idiot might charge
that Mr.. Charles is a thief, but that
doesn't make it so in either case. So
far as the "charge" in Mr.. Bookwal-
ter's case is concerned, it is q bald
headed lie. We presume Mr.. Book
walter has uttered sentiments dis
paraging the way the country is
being run by the Republican party,
and has spoken derogatively of some
of the peculiar constitutions of that
party, such as the star route ring,
for instance, but there are a good
many people in this country who
have done that. No doubt Mr.. Book,
walter believes in common with all
Democrats that if the present cor
rupt rule of the Republican party
is continued, the constitutions" OF
the country will not be worth a great
deal a few years hence. Let the old
