The Difference.

The difference in the claims Of the
two political parties in Jackson coun.
ty. is just this:
The Republicans come before the
Taxpayers in the county, and say
"You have kept us in charge of the
affairs of the county for more thar
twenty years; we have managed faith
fully; we have made vast improve
ments in the county, and we show you
balance Of thirty thousand dollars
in the County Treasury and not g
cent of indebtedness"
The Democrats are compelled by
the records to come before the tax.
payers and say:
"You tried us as public servants
nearly quarter Of a century ago; we
gobbled the money in your Treasury
and lost it in private speculations
about TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS OF il
was never paid back, and we owe you
the interest on ten thousand dollars
for quarter Of a century. This is
the only claim, under Heaven, that we
have upon your votes" !"
Do not take our word for this SCRAP
of history, but look at the records.

Death of E. B. Greene.

On last Thursday morning Elisha
IB. Greene died at his residence, in
Portsmouth. He was 81 years of age.
I His disease was cholera morbus.
For many years he owned a large
interest in Keystone Furnace, in this
county, and for some time the firm
name was E. B. Greene & Co.
We were personally well acquaint-
led with Mr.. Greene for more than
thirty years. He was an exceeding
pleasant gentleman, and as business
man strictly honest and honorable.
The Portsmouth Times, speaking OF
Mr.. Greene, says:
"As a citizen, his life was eminent
]ly correct one. His intercourse on
]the streets, in public and private rela-
1tions, and associations with his fellow
men, was always courteous and affa-
bile, and Of a dignifed and respectful
bearing. His high example and hon
3orable life is legacy of value to this
]comnmunity."
''Mr. Greene was a man of quiet
alemeanor, sound judgment, and Of
even and kindly temper. He was jus t
Ito his fellow-men, and there remains
behind him, among our people, no
i one who will not remember him in
Kindness"

JOneS-MOOre.

The Democratic candidate for Rep
resentative, John T. Moore is working,
'tooth-and-toe-nail," to defeat R. II. |
Jones. Upon what Mr.. Moore can
have even a shadow of hope Of Sc
curing enough Republican votes to|
defeat Jones, would be difficult to|
conceive. There is not a solitary rea-
son or excuse for any Republican vot-
ing for Mr.. Moore The only thing
Ito be said Of Mr.. Moore, politically, is
THAT he is an ultra Democrat of the
Bourbon stamp. We believe'it is not
too much to say that he was, and is. al
believer in the Divinity of human sla-
very, and his political life, so far as
we have any means of knowing it, has
been one Of ultra Bourbonism. If
detected, we do not doubt that he would

R. H. Jones, Mr.. Moore's opponent,
lis young man, and is what our Dem
socratic friends so love to speak of -'a
aself-made man." He is lawyer of
fair ability, and has good practice,
(which he has built up by untiring in
adustry. He gained his knowledge of
Flaw by studying ''between times
while working at his trade Of saddler
aand harness-maker. Mr.. Jones is the
gkind Of man who ought to be encour-
saged. In him the industrious work
aingmen have a representative, and the
Republicans man whom they should
select. We do not wish to say any
athing unfair of Mr.. Moore, but we
cannot help thinking that the poor,
industrious Welsh boy, leaving his
ysaddler's bench at the call Of his coun-
stry and serving faithfully in the
army, returning to the same bench,
working by day and studying by
might, until he has prepared himself
for promotion, is an example that cam
not be too strongly commended.

liz temperance Republicans want

IF temperance Republicans want to
throw away their votes, and want to
rebuke the Republican party by vet-
ing against the regular nominee OF
the party-R. Fl. Jones, let them be
consistant, and vote for B. F. Scott.
True, he is lifelong Democrat; but
he has always been sober, honest
man, and he is running as an ande-
pendent temperance candidate, and al
though he would voe with the Dem
ocrats on all party questions, yet.
upon the temperance question, he
would probably not be bound by the
Democratic caucus, and vote against
temperance legislation. Mr.. Moore,
the nominee of the party, would be
and ought to be, governed by the par
ty caucus. This is the only way In
which parties can effect anything as
parties.

The Paid BiOgrapher.

The Bookwalter Nincompoop Bu-|
reau has issued biography Of the
verdant scientist" Among other
things, the tract says:
The efforts Of the boy John to obtain education
were remarkable"
Those efforts are still continued
His political education will be finished
early in October. Again the biogra-
pher says, speaking Of Johns arrival
in Springfeld:
"He borrowed money to take him there"
Here does History repeat itself, for
one of Johns disbursing agents was
trying to borrow money to get out of
Jackson only last week. Again, he

Yes, just SO! Every dollar Of this
fortune is the product of the labor of
some workingman. John didn't stack
up and divide, but very carefully
invested this product Of the laboring

own especial benefit. Again, the paid
biographer says:

full, silly bosh. Mr.. B. is described as
being Of ''neat, slender, wiry form.
This does well enough, as no man Of
neat, slender, wiry form has Of late
years been elected Governor Of Ohio
Mr.. Bookwalter perhaps means well
enough, but even all his studying OF
Sly Sammy Tilden's peculiar political
methods will not avail him while
trusting his campaign to the manage
ment of the young men who are now
sounding his virtues at so much per
line. Their zeal somewhat overlaps
their judgment.

Similar Thoughts of the JOneses.

On last Friday we picked up copy
lof the Waverly Watchman bearing
date Sept. 14th. The Watchman isl
3edited by man named Jones-a jolly
good fellow, and we always read it..
Jones does not fool away any time on
sentimental nonsense, especially dur
/ ing political campaign, but just gets
square down to good, old-fashioned
Democratic prevarication. Among
other very able editorials in this issue
of the Watchman, We noticed this:
"Boukwalter has minded his own
business all his life, lived cleanly and
purely, wronged no one, and aided
many, steered clear of politics, local,
State and national, amassed large
fortune and acquired a splendid educa-
ton, built up and given to the whole
world several useful and valuable
manufactures, and for doing this he
lis denounced by the Republican press
] as being unworthy the Office Of Gov
;ernor Of Ohio"
And this:
"The Republican press has aban-
1doned principles, platform and ticket.
aThey are in the thickest of the fray
abusing the Democratic and temper
ance candidates. Personal abuse is a
splendid argument. 1t proves con-
! 3clusively that Foster should be con-
3tinued in power"
j After reading, and digesting as well
] IS we could, the editorials in the
Watchman, we picked up copy OF
1.-THE Athens Journal, another Demo
cratic paper, and one which is an es-
! pecial favorite Of ours. This paper is
edited by lady named Jones, and
was dated one day later than the
i 3Watchman. In the Journal we found
this:
John Wesley Bookwalter has all
his life lived cleanly and purely, has
had little to do with politics
Estate or National-has built up, and
given to the world, several useful and
I valuable manufactures, has amassed
Ia large fortune, but in so doing has
awronged none, and aided many. Fol-
i this he is denounced by the Republi-
can press as being unworthy the office
aof Governor. What do the voters OF
gOhio think about this?"
a And this:
"The Republican press seems to
have abandoned platform and ticket
and in the thickest Of the fray abus.
ing the Democratic and Temperance
8candidates. Is personal abuse a gooc
argument, and does it prove conclu.
asively that Charlie Foster should b.
acontinued in power?"
i Now, we do not wonder that these
ajournals should both publish able
editorials, for they are ably edited
but we are somewhat surprised that
these Democratic papers should, being
so far apart, publish the same edito
5rials, with only a days difference il
1 the date of the papers. Perhaps
however, the Joneses all think alike
While upon this subject, however, we
will state that we saw the same edito
rials in some half dozen other Dem
ocratic papers. Strange-strange!
