OF Ohio RePubiicaas.
An Ohio Republican who has never
been able to discover angels wings grow
ing on &C." Foster, just back Of his
shoulders, spreads the following "crow"
on the boards for the delectation of his
followers:
l. In 1874 Charles Fosters connec-
tion with the Congressional Committee
which went to Louisiana to determine
the true status of local parties and their
enactment caused his Republicanism to
be more questioned then than is Book
walters Democracy now questioned by
the organs of Charley Foster.
2. After his election as Governor, his
appointments of the Boards for the vari-
ous State institutions were highly at
variance with all precedent, and in
many instances was direct insult to the
persons who had been his stanch and
ardent supporters, the Democrats get
ting about 81 per cent. in years in the
above Boards.
8. The appointment of certoin life
long ultra Democrat of the Vallandig-
ham school to be Trustee of the Asy-
lum for the insane at Athens was not q
good thing for the Republicans of Nor
gan County. 1t, perhaps, paid the debt
and obligation of q certain State Sena-
tor. sraaf
4. Fairfield County is not one of the
counties embraced in the Asylum dis
trict of the Asylum for the Insane at
Athens, therefore, was it good and fair
act for Charley Foster to insult the Re
publicans in the counties comprising
the above Asylum district by going out
side of it for Democratic Trustee? ?
There were plenty of Republicans and
Democrats living within the district who
were competent to fill the position to the
abundant satisfaction of the people Of
Ohio. Then, why should he appoint .
Democrat in Fairfield County to be a
Trustee of the Insane Asylum at Athens?
5. The Democratic Board of Trustees
of the Asylum at Athens soon after
Fosters election appointed Captain j. B.
Allen, one armed soldier, TO be Stew
ard in place. of Robert Bell who resigned
Captain Allen was out of employment,
was capable and competent The people
of Athens County, irrespective of party,
signed petition to Fosters Trustees Of
the Asylum praying them to retain Cap
tain Allen as Steward of the institution.
Instead of retaining him they bounced
him out in hurry, giving as q reason
that the Democrats should not forestall
reorganization of the Asylum by max
ing any appointments.
s. Captain Aliens honesty, his Repub-
licanism and capability for the place
were never questioned. He was q dele
gate, however, to the Cincinnati Oonven-
ton which nominated Foster, and at that
| Convention he was an ardent supporter
OF Judge Taft for Governor. Fosters
| plea that the Democrats shall not fore
stall his plans may possibly have grown
out of Captain Aliens opposition to him
at the Convention, hence Allen was
bounced and Democrat given his
| place. Ee 3
II Was it the correct thing for Char
ley Foster to reappoint DIR. Blackburn,
] of Coshocton County, trustee OF the
Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home at
1 Xenia, in the face of the protest of
nearly the whole of the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee of that county?
g. Will the Republicans Of Perry
County forget and forgive Charley Fos-
ter for giving them the coolest kind Of
shoulder after his election for the
glorious work done for him by the Re
publicans of that county October will
determine this question.
9. In looking over the list of favorites
it is quite refreshing to the minds of the
poor (in purse) Republicans to notice
the number of bankers, bondholders
and Railroad Directors who have been
given official recognition and patronage
by Charley Foster. 1t looks as though
banks, bonds and railroads were the
only ingredients in bis politics, and yet
the Door are beseeched and exhorted to
vote for him. A8aQAe t
Il 10. Was it the honest thing on the
part of Charley Foster to have the state
ment made and published throughout
the whole country that John Sherman
left Chicago with several hundred dol
lars of his Convention expense. unpaid
OF course it was a matter of consider
able modesty for " @. Foster to inform
the people of Ohio that he put his lib
eral hands down into his own pockets,
paid Sherman's debt, thereby saving the
reputation of Ohio, and possibly increas-
ing his chances for the United States
Senatorship in place of John Sherman,
who did not pay his hotel bills at
Chicago t
IL. Did Charley Foster do the fair
thing in the Senatorial contest, when he
declared in bis letter of declination of
his candidacy that the people wanted
him for the Senate, and that he was
assured of that fact beyond doubt? BE
alleged that he Withdrew simply for the
purpose of keeping harmony In the
Republican party.
IL. What great and important act has
Charley Foster ever done for the benefit
of the Republican party? Can anything
be shown up to his credit, in the above
line, that is free from his own personal
elevation and selishness? Every act oi
his SO far has been for Charley Foster,
the bondholder, banker, and railroad
monopolist.
ID. Can any Republican dispute any
of the above reasons, and, further, can
any one show u single official act of &c.
Foster, as Governor, from tie day of his
inauguration to the "snubbing of the
id Methodist preachers" then to the
present, that has been of any actua
strength to the party, or would be any
reason why the Republicans should agalr
vote for him?
IA For the Republicans to re-elec
him would be an Endorsement of his past
official acts.
A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN,.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE SIXTH REASON.
Was it in accordance with one of tn,
grandest principles of the Republican
party that the one-armed soldier, Capt
j. B. Allen, should be removed to. furnish
: place for Vallandigham Democrat
who had managed the campaign il
Hooking County against Foster, and at
tempted at the time that Foster ad
: dressed the Republicans in that county
fo etripo napoocrafic houner af.r<,as fh
street, to insult every decent Repubi
can, and who was only prevented from
f doing SO by meeting of the "soli,
i Stalwarts'' of the county; and is it righ
$ that this Democrat should be the onl.
