The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1882-10-19


Is all one way there has not been so
much money used; but in the close
towns there has been an immense |
amount of political corruption, and
Chandler is more responsible for it than |
anybody else. He has been the means |
of the rings contributing; and as a re-
suit he has insisted that every New
Hampshire man who goes to Washing
ton shall Vote as he says in all those
matters affecting tie interests, OF those

Looking for Peg to Hang Upon.
-
The Republican party will go into the polit
ical contest this fall with one great advantage
The bu5ines and industry OF the country are
distinctly reYiving. A degree of stagnation
WHICH few were disposed TO recognize did. in.
deed, follow the partial failure Of crops last
year.. The worst of it has been felt this sea-
son, even after it Had become certain that the
yield this y ar would be large.-M. Y. Tribunc.
In looking around for d peg upon
which to hang a reason why the Repitb. 1
lican party should remain in power, and
control the destiny of the Republic, the !
organs and bosses of the party, driven
from every hole and den in which they
havetaken shelter, having had every
refuge of lies battered down by storms
of facts and figures, seek to hide them
selves from the wrath to come by point
ing the people 10 the abundant crops
which a benefcent Providence has sent
as the rewards of toll; they declars that
owing to such favorable surroundings
n.the Republican party will go into the
political contest this fall with one great
advantage" Such highfaluten hypoc-
riss is really very suggestive. 1t is a
combination of ignorance and ignominy
in a5out equal proportions. 1t is Idiocy
and fnfamy, each with a pickax and
spade, digging hole for the remains of
the Republican party when. the Demo
cratic party shall have bruised its head
and silenced its ratt1es. The Republic
an, organs and bosses do not ask the
people to support the candidates and
policy of the Republican party because
candidates and policy are patriotic
! and pure. They dare not do that
because the record of the party is
black with perfdy. The New York
Tribune sees the point distinctly, and
| invites. the country to contemplate in
4 the magniicenee of the hartests the
wonderful things the Republican party
has done for the country. The Repub-
iiean party goes into the fall campaign
Y
I. says the -Trsbaaae., What IS this :. one
4 great adyantaees'' Simply this: The
country feels certain that,the crops viii
be large, and the Republican party pro-
poses to enter the apolitieaI contest
4 claiming all the credit for the crops. II
lin the future the Democratic party es-
i tab1ishes beyond all controversy that
the Republican party has foisted upon
the coiintry curses without number, il
will reply: aLo6k at the, corn the Re-
publican party has produced.n If it is
charged that the Republican party has
been guilty of infamous waste of the
public funds, it will claim to have re-
stored it all by the abundant crop OF
s0heat If word is said about blachn,aii
the bosses and organs will refer to ele-
vators full of barley, to breweries and
beer, and claim all as the result of Re
publican policy. As against any Repub-
fican rdscality in the catalogue of ruin,
the bosses will claim they are all wiped
out by the abundant crop of rye which
, the Republican patty has bestowed
upon the country. When the Demo
: cratic party charges that Republican
officials are guilty of violating theil
oaths, they. will demand verdict of ac.
/ / quittal, because the Republican party
|. has raised all the oats. When the Re
, publican party is charged with foment
|, ing sectional hates, fierce as hell, il
will ask to be exculpated because bu
! for the Republican party there
, would hayd been no hay. If WI
point to its perjurieS it will come bacl
and demand credit for all the pota!oe!
from Maine to Oregon. If Republicai
crimes are piled up mountain high
from Returning Boards to Robeson'
, wrecked navy-the bosses will say
..Look at the cotton crop Republicaf1isn
3 has garnered for the good of the world.
: Against its Satanic centralizing polio,
4 it will claim credit for all the sorghum
: and as an offset to its c,tt-tltroGtiSns a
l the polls twill claim credit for the GRO
!. of cabbage, and against all its frauds
t it will point to the crop of fruit
: Against its manifold corruptions it will
: claim credit for all the cattle. If Hub
! bell is named, hogs will be counted t
: obscure it, and the crop of asses will b.
e made to balance Hubbelfs assessments
Y In this way, according to the Tribune
t the Republican party is to go into tn
e political contest with great advantages
a it proposes to claim all the credit fo
: the big crops of the year, and vii
q claim credit for sunshine and shower
e and all else that has contributed t.
7 make 1882 year for great harvests
g Here in Indiana the Republican bose
will talk of parsnips rather. than o
: platform or prohibition; of corn stalk
d and cantaloupes rather than Constitu
f tions. The Republican party has a
: last become so sublimated by slime, 8
e etherealized by iniquity, so angelic by au
t dacity, that it is ready to claim credit fo
d the crops, to ask the people to continu
/ it in power ON account of its control G
n the seasons. s.-Indidna State Sentinel.
