The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1882-09-21
POLITICAL NOTES.

The first Blaine gun for 1884 has sounded.
As Maine goes"-but Maine has gone. She
went Republican, as it were.
The Republican party of Ohio is too big TO be
drowned by few kegs of beer.
This should not be an "ofr-year' for the Re-
publicans and temperance men. They should
all be at the polls.
1t is plain question whether the intelligence
and patriotism Of Ohio, or the stomach OF
Cincinnati beer-jerker, shall rule this State.
Democratic friend, don't boast of carrying
Ohio this Fall. Remember that young man
named Bookwalter thought that way once.
The old-time Democrat who votes the Repub-
lican ticket this year, will do the most sensible
thing of his lifetime.
1.-THE Lord loveth O cheerful giver." There
fore let US give the Democracy an unmerciful
drubbing this Fall-and do it cheerfully.
| The idea of Newman debating with Townsend!
| AS well might q "wind-splitter" hog attempt to
measure noses with an elephant.
By the way, could not the Democrats of Jack
son get up another jollifcation over the Demo-
cratic ~ victory in Maine this year?
| The victory, this Fall, over the "Free Beer and
No Sunday" party ought to be complete. We
ought to elect our candidate for Coroner by a
| thousand majority.
This campaign is a struggle of the brewers,
distiIlers and doggery keepers for the possession
of the State of Ohio. No intelligent man will
attempt to deny this. Will the people allow
these breeders Of drunkenness and pauperism
to succeed?
We do not desire to intrude our opinion, but
we have seen something of the two men, and
we regard VIM. B. Cherington as much the safer
and better man of the two to vote for for Sheriff.
The great rejoicing of the Democracy over the
prospect of getting a few doggery-keepers over
from the Republicans, shows what kind OF
stock finds most favor in the Democratic party.
The management of the so-called Democratic
party is in the hands of a few politicians of the
John G. Thompson stripe, under direction of
the Brewers Association. This is splendid
crowd for decent men to stay out OF.
What the Republicans want to do is vote the
Republican ticket. Perhaps there never was a
man nominated for Office who pleased every
body. Let elect our candidates first, and
argue minor points afterwards.
Take the record of the Democratic party;
search it carefully look up one side OF 1t, and
down the other; scrutinize it with micro
scope; and If you can find one solitary bright
spot in it, then vote the Democratic ticket.
This party that now asks to be placed in
power pom platform of "Free Beer and No
Sunday" is the same party that wanted, few
years ago, to pay ofthe national debt by stamp
ing money on leather and corn-husks.
We want to ask every decent Democrat this
question: Will you vote the Democratic ticket
this Fall, when the only two things your party
promises, If elected, to give full sway to in
temperance and consequent crime, and repeal
the Sunday Laws?
See'st thou party clutching within its grasp
the knife of the murderer, and a bundle of It's
sue ballots? That is the party asking you to
elect it upon a platform of "Free Beer and No
Sunday"
Know'st thou party that starved thousands
of brave men in Southern prisons, and attempt
ed to burn the great commercial centers of the
North, and to introduce yellow fever into
Northern homes? That is the party that asks
your votes on a platform of 'Free Beer and No
Sunday"
Nine-tenths of all the crimes committed In
this country are traceable to Intoxicating
liquors. The Democratic party come squarely
out in favor of universal crime. "Let men eat
and drink what they please" The Democratic
party is q good party to kill.
