Card from Private DalZelI.


To the Editors of the Standard:
AS the Representative for Noble county, the 18th
of May 1872 the floor of the House, in the presence
of all the Democrats there, 1 charged much worse
things than You have mentioned, and dare
deny 1t. challenged them all, and they dare not
open their lips dispute the charges preferred for
had the record before me, the most disgraceful
record ever made in Ohio, a record of drunkenness
and vulgarity the floor of the House, and in the
Speakers chair, record of whitewashing deserter
and convict and placing him the soldiers or
phans, record of seducing and debauching the chill
dren of dead soldiers, record by criminal care
lessness of burning the Soldiers Orphans Home at a
of 100000, record of the longest and mos
extensive session held in Ohio, and the only
swer they made to send a brute to knock mt
down on the floor of the House, over which they
cheered from Speaker to page. Do the people o
Ohio, do the soldiers of Ohio want another Demo
legislature after that? If they do it will disgrace th
State over again worse if possible than the last ont
did. No Democrat dare meet me in public debate
to defend that Legislature. I challenge them ALL fo

HERE is the feast of reason" to
which the Dem. politicians invite the
intelligent laborers and mechanics Of
the great State of Ohio. They claim
that sixteen hundred to seventeen
hundred convicts in the Ohio Peni-
tentiary, being compelled to work,
thus compete with the aborers on the
outside Of the prison, making harder
times for the free laborers. 1t would
be better, therefore, for the people to
support the convicts in idleness.
Now, if the entire body Of convicts
were hired out in the city Of Column
bus, we do not believe it would result
in keeping out of employment one
man who wanted to work. And
when it comes to spreading this cry
about convict labor all over the State,
it will be seen at once that it is very
thin trick Of very shallow dema-
gogues. 1t is noticeable that the
Democratic politicians worry about
the Penitentiary a great deal more
than their Republican friends. Why

OUR Democratic friends have a campaign gag of
which they seem very fond. 1t was furnished by
Bookwalter's Editorial Bureau, at Columbus. 1t is
the gracious remark, by Bookwalter to his that
he would not turn them off if they voted the Republic
can ticket. At the time of making this remark, if
made at all, Mr.. Bookwalter had never voted Demo-
cratic ticket in hfs ie And it was LAST FALL he is
said 10 have made the remark.
Now, what right had Mr.. b. to say anything about
voting his If he made the remark, it goes to
show that. from political standpoint, he is very
weak demagogue, without knowledge of the proper
time to keep his mouth shut and is certainly unfit to
be Governor of anything. 1t none of his business
how his men voted, and he insulted them by med
ding in the matter at all.
This ''great speech" of Bookwater's reminds us of
the remark of German soldier with whom we served
in the late war. This passing along the
Company Street, one day when one of the boys, who
German, thought to be funny, and said to be
funny, and said to the German:
''Loudern, vat you thinks, when you thinks noting,
hey?'
The German eyed him for moment, with merry
twinkle in his eye, and answered:
Il tink man is tam fool ven he can say noting,
all der vile!''

The Presidents Condition.

During the past week the President
has not improved. His pulse has been
up in the neighborhood of 100 per
minute, while in a well person it should
range from 70 to 85. The surgeons
have been declaring that there is no
danger, but this high pulse has
alarmed the people of the whole coun-
try. The President was worse at last
accounts, and on Sunday night he
vomited all night, and slept but little.
He may get we'll; but it would not
surprise us to hear of his death at any
time.

senior editor of the Standard and
Mrs. Higgins were near neighbors,

ago. She was the youngest daughter
of old George Corn, who fifty years
ago lived on farm on the top of the

Why should the Republican party
succeed at the coming election? Va
rious reasons are given-some valid,
some foolish. Here is one who says
that because Garfield was wounded,
therefore the Republican ticket should
succeed. We see no argument in this
in fact, it looks silly. Some say
that if Ohio should 60 Democratic, it
would be saying to Garfield that his
administration is condemned, and his
feelings should not be hurt in this
way. This Garfield worship will not
secure any votes for the Republican
ticket. The Republican party elected
Garfield in order that the principles
of the party should be carried out.
The people composing the Republican
party honestly believed, and do still
believe, that carrying out those prln-
ciples will work out the greatest pros
perity of the people of the whole
country.
1t is often said that the politicians
claim at every election that it is the
most important election ever held
that there is a crisis impending, etc.
How is it now?
President Garfield cannot carry out
the principles Of the Republican party
unless there be a majority of Repub-
licans in each House of Congress. The
Senate is about equally divided, and
the House is so close that there is
some doubt whether the Republicans
can control it even now, while the
change Of only two or three members
would throw it into the hands, and
under the control of the Democracy.
The Legislature to be elected in Ohio
in October will district the State for
members of Congress, and it is we'll
known that the change of four or five
members can be effected by change
of districts. A change Of only four
districts would make gain of eight
to the Democracy.
The country was never so prosper
Gus as it is at the present time. Every
thing is fourishing. Gold, silver anc
paper money are abundant, and the
best thing about the whole currency
question is, that the paper is just a;
current as the gold and silver. Thi
complete success of the financial pol
icy Of the Republican party was car
ried out in spite of the determined
efforts of the Democracy to defeat it
If that party should ever gain com
plete control Of the Government, tn
National Banks would be destroyed
and either deprecated paper be pu
in circulation by the Government, o
the wildcat shinplaster currency tina
: we had under the old States right
theory of the Democracy before tn
war.
The tariff, under which it is barrel.
possible now to operate our iron fur
naces, will be set aside for "a tariff fo
revenue only"
President Garfield, in his inaugura
address, dwelt at length upon tn
right of the colorcd men to vote, un
der the constitutional amendment
and if he shall live, and a Republican
, Congress shall be maintained to co
operate with him, the rights of citi
zenship for all will be fully estab
lished.
. Taking all these things into consid
Grafton, and many others, to which
: we will allude at subsequent time
2 we are fully convinced that the com
e ing election is an important one, ant
that the best interests Of the peopl
require the success Of the Republican
y party.

MIR. BooKwALTER is evidently student of the
peculiar political methods of the late Samuel j. TIL
den, Mr. Bookwalter lacks the shrewnness of the
sly Sammy. Bookwalter fixed up very nice little
scheme last week to get the officers of all the Work
ingmens Unions, of Cincinnati to send him lists of
of all their members. There are some ten
thousand men connected with the Union in Hamilton
county. At the very first public meeting after recety
ing Mr.. Bookwater's request the Unions sat squarely
down upon him. Mr.. Bookwalter will doubtless
make good Democrat after while. just now he
lacks experience in that camp.

As to the manner in which the Com

leave the question to the readers of

The Commercial is not blessed with
a moral sense which renders it capable
of Judging the truth. Now, that it
hints about truth, perhaps it can tell
the name of that railroad agent, who
was also agent of coal company in
this county, who charged laboring
men more freight on barrel of salt
brought from Portsmouth, than the
original cost Of the salt. The Com
mercial told that story year ago,
with the evident intention of arousing
the laboring men to acts Of riot and
bloodshed, as the Sheriff had at that
time, troops sent to this county by the
Governor, to prevent riot.
Come, Mr.. Commercial, give US that
