"Disguised Democrat

The Audrain County Press is very
much troubled about the split in the
Republican party, and especially about
the Republican ticket in the field.
The editor of that paper keeps knock
ing away at the LEDGER for having a
hand in the matter.
We thought the Press was Green
back paper. 1t should rejoice at the
split in the Republican party, and not
fret about it. The Press, speaking
of the matter, calls II. H. Brookes,
editor of the Republican, a ''demo-
crat in disguise" and says:
Certain it is Brookes has been acting
as the aide-de-camp of the county Demo-
cratic leaders ever since he has been here
and the LEDGER in acknowledging the
"success Of his work." declares that "the
Democratic party of Audrain will now
poll twice as many votes as all the oppo-
sition." This confirms the report that
he had been imported for that special
purpose. At any rate his mission has not
been to unity and strengthen the Republi-
can party, but rather to weaken and ti-
vide it. His good words have all been
for Democrats, and his theory above fully
explains why he has had none for Repub-
licans.
We know nothing about Brookes,
or his politics. The paper he is run.
ming is a Republican paper. Brookes,
or his paper, has nothing in common
with the Democrats of Audrain coun-
ty. He is neither aiding the Demo.
Gratis, nor are the Democrats aiding
him. Whenever the republican paper
inaugurates a move that will help the
Democratic party, the LEDsER will be
found helping him, and vice versa
Further than this. the LEDGER knows
nothing of Brookes, his paper, or his
poliucs, and cares less. We suppose
he is the same way about the LEDGER.
II not, it is his loss. The LEDGEI
has one object in view during thif
whole campaign, and that is. lei
every tub stand on its own bottom,
then punch hole in each competing
tub and sink it. When the democratic
ship sails in at election, not tub
will be in sight.

Democratic County Ticket.
OHIO.

At last there are good reasons to
believe that Ohio has ceased to be
Republican, and that hereafter the
farmers of that state will be true to
their vastly preponderating interests.
Upon no other hypothesis can the
extraordinary change indicated by
the late election there in the political
sentiments of its agriculturalists be
accounted for. Republican partisans
and bosses attribute their discontinue
to local mismanagement, that might
have and, therefore, should have been
avoided. There might be some force
in such views, if their defeat were
not attributable to national and wide
spread causes, AMI to loss of faith in
republicanism. If it could be traced
to some single source; if 1t had been
brought about by either a Liberal or
Stalwart revolt, or through presiden-
tial interference, there might be re-
publican hope of avoiding such tenn
porary contretemps in the future !;
but OHIO has never had either boss
or machine similar to those of New
York; Pennsylvania, or Missouri, nor
is there any other republican difficulty
there. The change that has occurred
is not due, therefore, to anything
within that party's management. 1t
is the grand old party itself that is
no longer attractive. Ohio farmers
are becoming tired of excessive taxa
ton and extravagant national ex-
pcnditure; of toadyism to monopoly
and neglect of the real producers OF
the country. Even those of them
that have heretofore been devoted to
prohibition, now feel they have to
deal with more important issues
with matters affecting alike their in
dividual occupations and the common
veal. No other Interpretation can be
put upon what has happeeued. There
is an evident turn in the popular SEN
tlment of Ohioans the commencement
of a grand tidal wave destined to
wreck the republican party, now felt
to be an incubus, and, therefore, in
capable of coquetting hereafter with
such third-lsmists as prohibitionists,
greenbackers, religionists and person
al liberty men.
The Ohio democratic majority is
now stated to be 35, 900, and out of
twenty-one congressional districts,
supposed to have been effectually
gerrymandered in the interest of the
republican party, the democracy Sc
cured thirteen representatives. This
will make the next House democratic
by majority Of the states, as well as
of its membership, a matter that may
be of great Importance in the next
presidential count.
The probable other effects of this
victory are also conceded on all hands
to he very opportune and far-reaching.
Not to recur again to Ohio, it will
tell tremendously upon Indiana, New
York and Pennsylvania, and possibly
Oh Massachusetts, and Connecticut. In
Indiana it has already excited the
widest enthusiasm, with anticipa-
ton of democratic majority of from

John A. Cockerill, managing editor
of the Post-Dispoteh, shot and killed
Col. A. W. Slayback, of st. Louis,
last Friday evening. The latter was a
leading attorney of that city and has
attended court in this county. He
was brother of Charles Slayback,
president of the Merchants Ex-
change. 1t is claimed that he went
to the Post Dispatch Office, drew a
pistol and was at once shot by Cock
erill, editor Of that paper. Others
say Slayback had no pistol, but the
evidence will show that he had a pis-
tol and had it out. Great excite
ment prevailed at the time. Cock
Grill at once gave himself up.
