Mr.. Sheppard writes another

Wonder if he " played 'seven

him in joint discussion! That is as
liberal as taking lemonade in a sa-
loonl Mr.. EDISON makes no preten-
sions to public speaking, and has
too much good sense to attempt 1t,
especially against a person whose
whole majority of years have been
spent that. way. Mr.. EDISON is a me-
chanic-a laboring man, and the peo-
pie of Preble county know all about
him, having been raised among them,
and if elected will legislate for the
farmer, mechanic and laboring man.
That is sufficient. But amt it brave
in Mr.. Sheppard to challenge Mr..
Edison in joint discussion? Such
chivalry ought to be on the. plains

Speaking of the manner in which

will resort to, the Methodist says:
The republican managers, having
under their control a large majority

when they get further South, We can
not guess. But this mode Of break
ing up the solid South is certainly a

immoral that the managers Of the

resort to when there 10 an object to

THE NATIONS
Democranc Record.

From the hour that James Abram
Garfield, the twentieth President of
the United States, was foully, cow
ardly and brutality assassinatad by a
disappointed and desperate Repuoli-
can ofice-seeker, every patriotic
heart in America came to the Presi-
dents support. Everywhere, locally,
in State and Nation, the Democracy
in press, in convention and in pri.
vate speech sustained the country's
President, and humanely, heartily
hoped for his recovery. Even the
bitterly maligned Solid South rallied
to a man in sympathy and support
of the President. The Democratic
State Executive Committee of Ohio
cancelled all appointments for politi
cal speakers while the Country's
Chief lay in danger of death. The
people of all parties have expressed
their admiration for the respect, sup
port aud sorrow the Democracy have
shown for the stricken President
And now that he is no more, the
Democracy are among his sinceres'
mourners.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-09-29

The Republicans are profusely cir
culating a little eight page pamphlet
entitled "Republican Economy VS..
Democratic Extravaganza" which
is a lie on it's face, because it fails
to give the facts as to the appropri-
atoms and expenditures of the two
last Legislatures. For instance-it
gives the appropriations of Fosters
Legislature at only 1881, 020,S 9
when in truth the figures at the state
Auditors Office shows the amount to
be SO, 3O4, 1898! The appropri-
atoms by the Democratic General
Assembly previous to Fosters was
SO, 294, 233, %, leaving a balance in
favor of Democratic economy of ST.
1876 instead of 1916, 12S, 90, in IA
vor of Republican rule, as this Icing
little pamphlet claims. The amount
in favor of Democratic legislation is
not large, but it shows how Repub-
licans are given to deceiving the
honest voter.

They are very fearful that if the
Republicans do this the districts
would be gerrymamderedi Their
own purpose in this regard is father
to that fear. All that is known OF
gerrymandering was taught by them.
Register.
Practically, and so far as it relates
to purposes of representation, the
vote of Ohio is equally divided be.
tween the two parties. That is &c
say, the difference between the total
vote cast by each party amounts to
less than one-half of one per cent
This was the case in 1878, just as it
is the case now. The Democratic
majority then was about 25, 0OO.-
The apportionment- made by the
Democrats, gave V Republicans
to thirteen Democrats. The Reoss.
ter says 'the thing was Infamous"
Look at the ching" now, when the
Republican majority is not more
than the Democratic majority was
then, the apportionment made by the
Republicans gives the Democrats but
fUe members to the Republicans
fifteen! Was such "infamous" ger
rymandering ever done by the Dem
ocratsf Now then, what we want to
know is this: If seven Republicans
to thirteen Democrats is a gerryman-
der, is not five Democrats to fifteen
Republicans a worse gerrymander,
the relative vote of the two parties
being the same? We would be pleas
ed to hear the Regsster's opinion?

The following is an editorial COM

admiration for the quiet, gentleman

manner in which John W. Bookwal
ter, the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor for Ohio. has thus far conduc-
ted his canvass among the people.
There is a dignity and manliness
about it, which reminds one of the
more primitive times in tie history
of this country, when the entire
modus operandi of a political cam
paign was not, as now, an organized
system of procuring votes by means
of corruption, fraud, and confidence

c. Fosters sniveling plea that
every body should vote for him be
cause Garfield was shot, is contemp-

The above is very "amoosing," as
Artemus Ward would remark. Every
reader of the DEMOCRAT knows our
position on Prohibition: We have
never written articles endorsing and
advocating the doctrine and then
gone back on them, as has Mr..
Charles, neither are we so bigoted,
hide-bonnd or proscriptive in our
views, that we exclude from our col
umns everything that does not ex-
ac4ly meet them. The Prohibition
party of this county is composed of
good, moral and honorable gentle
men, and our columns are open to
them for all temperate articles on
their side Of the issues ofthe present
day, and if that constitutes the DEM
ocRAT "the quaisi organ" of the par
ty, we accept the brand.

In Harper's Weekly for Septembe,

mention of the head of the firm oil
James Leffel & co., and proprietor Of
the Leffel Mechanical News:
"Mr. John w. Bookwalter, the
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Ohio, is entirely a self-made man.
One of his first adventures was the
establishment of the Mechanical
News, a semi monthly journal, at
Springfield, and it is in a very flour
ishing condition today. It has sew
eral competent men on it's editorial
staff, but Mr.. Bookwalter directs it's
policy. He says 1T requires much
more care to direct a journal OF that
character than a newspaper, for the
reason that every subject must be
treated with the utmost exactness,
for it would not do TO detect AL error
in a mechanical journal"

Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania
in an interview in New York, Tues
day, said: "Thank Godi this sec.
tional question is now ended forever
Garfeld's death closes it at last

in municipalities, concerning his
affection, that it would take a pretty
cruel Radical to revive the sectional
prejudices again"

The Republicans are discouraged
and desperate. In their despair they
have abandoned platform, principle

about for some unholy means of

defeat. Every attempt oftheirs-de-
