St. Paul, Gen. Johnston, republican, for
Governor, is running ahead of his ticket
and Greenleaf Clark, defeated by Judge
VanAubery in the republican convention

vote. About half the ticket will be repub-
lican and half democratic Hubbard, re-
publican for Governor, runs ahead in the

about effct each other and that he and the

a majority somewhat reduced from last

Some of the Republican press ask
why John Wesley Bookwalter is the

give them tie reasons:
He is today q workin2man. He
has been all his life. From a far,

was the boyish maker of the largest
telescope in America, to the day he
run his fathers saw mill, to the day.

POLITICAL INFANIYI
a Resort.

At no time in late history, has pol
itics been dragged in the dust and
filth as it is to-day by the Republi-
can party of Ohio. After an une-
qualled campaign of SANDER and per
sonal abuse of John Wesley Book
walter by the Republican press, it
remained for &C" Foster, Republi-
can nominee for Governor of Ohio,
to climax this campaign of infamy.
While the nations President lay
dying, stricken down by the hand OF
a Republican assassin, s. fellow Stall
warts of &C." Foster, the latter gen
tleman was dragooning the State, re-
cruiting votes for himself by the lib
eral distribution of "the sinews OF
war" by tearing open and exposing
to public view the wound of the
country's Chief, and last but not least
by circulating the malignant and
mendacious SANDER that BookYaltel
was a hater of Garfield, and had call
ed him a perjurer and bride, taker
And the Republican press every
where prominently published this
infamous lie. The only authority
for this shameless falsehood, as claim
ed bv &C." Foster and the Republi
can press, is an alleged letter o
Bookwalter's to the Jacksonville, Ill.
Courier in 1880. Then why not pro
duce and publish the letter? Give
it to the intelligent readers of Ohio
Let the people of Ohio be given thai
letter in full, that they tbemselve:
may judge of Mr.. .Bookwalter'
words.
Gentlemen of the Republican
press, publish that letter in full, o
stand convicted of the most ignoble
brutal, ~cowardly political libel eve
perpetrated.
John Wesley Bookwalter, Oh al
proper occasions, public and private
has expressed the most honest ART

The mechanics of our State for
the past thirty-fve years have com
planned bitterly against the employ
ment Of the contract system by the
State. For thirty. five years they
have knocked at the doors Of the
Legislature, and in a supplicating
manner begged our lawmakers to
give this all.important question some
little attention, but until now with
out success. Whether indifference
toward the interests of our laboring
people, or sympathy for the prison
contractors, is the cause of this de
layed action, we are unable to state
Certain it is, however, that the con-
tract system has'been permitted to
gnaw at the .vitals of our mechanical
interests, until the cry now goes
forth from one end of the State to
the other for its abolition, and the
adoption of a system whereby the
profits of convict labor shall accrue
to the State instead Of the prison
contractor. Is not that the true
principle? We leave every laboriag
man and mechanic to answer fol
himself, and to remember that the
Democrats are in favor of q change
of the "convict contract SYSTEM

When Democrats 'fiop' over into
the majority party in Preble county,
they do so from pure and disinter-
ested motives, from a sense of wrong
to right. When Republicans "iop'
over into the minority party, they
are Connected fellows" "soreheads,'
"ofice- seekers" &c. That is the
beautiful and logical way old 'stick
in the mud of the Eaton Register
puts the matter! Is it any wonder
the patrons of that journal are "kick.
ing" against him as their editor, wher
he undertakes to cram such absurd
and ridiculous stuff into them?

From every section of the State
come cheers for Bookwalter for Gov
ernor, from workingmen. The mar
who never lowered the wages of his
employees during ''hard times" but
raised them from 10 to 20 per cent.
is surely deserving of the support of
workingmen. Mr. Bookwalter acted
on the principle that in hard times
the capitalist by means of his ready
money had unusual facilities for
making money, while the laborer
bore the greatest burdens and was
the most helpless.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-09-08

We heard a methodist business
man in Eaton declare the other day,
that if the ministers voted the Love
land ticket he would withdraw his
support. Now suppose the Prohibi-
tionists would tell this man they
would not %patronise him If he voted
for Foster-and the Democrats that
if he did not vote for Bookwalter they
neither would purchase goods from
him! Wouldn't he squirm over his
own medicine being administered
That kind of work is a 'two edged
sword' cutting both ways, and had
better not be brought into this can
yaSs.

How Ridiculous it would be for the
voters of Preble county to elect an
inexperienced young lawyer to be
Prosecuting Attorney, one who has
never yet had a case in any Court
AS Prosecuting Attorney he has to
meet in legal combat the ablest at
torneys of the Bar, and often distin-
guished criminal lawyers from a
broad. With no experience and very
limited reading in the law, he can
not be expected to compete success
fully with such antagonists. In such
cases the result would be that our
criminals would all escape Justice
and the county foots the bill. Now,
are the taxpayers ready for such a
condition of things in Preble coun
ty? If they are they will have it by
electtng the Republican candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney.

What do the good honest and
Christian voters of the Republican
party of Preble county think of
$5O5 being demanded oftheir can
didates by the Eaton Ring, for the
purpose of corrupting the balfot-bo
and electing men to fill our county
offices, whom this Ring know are
incompetent and have attempted to
crowd off the ticket? Can you con
scientiously indorse such business
by your votes on tie second Tuesday
of October? Ifyou do, you sanction
the shooting of your own President
by a villainous office seeker.
