Some Facts to be lie I'M nm b e red
COshocton Democrat


Those persons who imagine that the
effect of the recent elections will be to
put the Democratic party into power
at once, are mistaken, and Democrats
should take pains to enlighten them,
as otherwise there is danger that the
Democrats may be held responsible for
Stalwart sins.
The Congress which was elected Oil
the 7th inst. will not meet. unless an
extra session be called, until Decem-
ber, 1SS3-a year hence. All the legis-
lation of the coming Winter will be
controlled by the Republican Congress
whose extravaganza at the last session
so disgusted the people of all parties
and paved the way for Democratic
victory. All the appropriations for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1884,
will be made by the Republican Con-
gress, so that, as a matter of fact, the
Democratic triumph this year will
scarcely begin to be reaped until 1885,
for the first appropriation bill of the
just elected Democratic Congress will
be for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1855.
The Congress which re-assembled
in Washington yesterday is not the
Democratic Congress just elected by
the people 1t is the Republican Con
gress which has just sat down upon by
the voters. OF it's members one hun
dred and forty-seven, or just one more
than a majority Of the whole number,
have been repudiated at the polls

They are sullen and angry. Theil

THE Republican politicians have of
late become greatly enamored with
civil service reform. What they want
is that, when the time comes in which
the people declare that the grand old
party" of salary grabbers, Credit Mo-
bilier rascals, Star Reuters and Treas
ury Plunderers must step down and
out, the crowd of Republican officials
shall not be allowed TO be disturbed in
the enjoyment of their fat places. That
isn't exactly the kind of reform the
people are demanding just now.

daughter of Levi and Sarah Swinehart,
was born in Suffield, Portage County,
Ohio, August 8, 1867, and died Dec.
Is, 1882, aged Is years, months and
II days.
Last Friday evening our usually
quiet neighborhood was startled by
the sad news above. Previous to three
weeks before her departure from this
world, she was the light and life of
every social gathering in our vicinity.
She always had kind word for every
one, and consequently was beloved by
all in return, I" For none knew her but
to love her." At school she was loved
by both teacher and scholars, and of
ten on the playground, when any tri-
, fling dispute arose among the small
children, they chose her for their
Judge, and were always willing to
abide by her decision, knowing hers
was righteous judgment.

The funeral was held at the church
at Stow Corners, yesterday, and was
largely attended. Rev. Mr.. Beck, o

and was assisted by Rev. F. M. Greer

parents and sisters have the SINGER

THE Democracy of Fairfield county
have paid ST 900 for the material, good
will and patronage of the Lancaster
Journal, and it will appear no more.
This purchase was made to get rid of
the paper, and to give the Ohio Eagle,
the old Democratic organ, a clear field,
the Democracy believing that more
tran one Democratic paper in the
county is detriment to the party.

Burned to Death.

CHICAGO, December PA special
from Brookings, Oak, says: During
the absence of Mr.. Barber, of Estel-
line, from home, his wife left three
children, aged six months, three years,
and five years, respectively, in the
house while she did some work at the
barn. 1t is thought that the children
playing with Goals set fire to their
clothes. Before Mrs. Barber returned
two of the little ones were charred
corpses, and in rescuing the baby,
which afterwards died in her arms,
the mother received burns which place
her life in danger.

The Half Breeds are INDUCING in
some very plain talk, these days. Ar
thurs course in turning out of Office
the Garfield men to make room for
Sta,warts, has brought forth a very
bitter article from a Rondout, N. Y,
editor. We quote the concluding
portion of this article, as follows:
a"From 1872 to this day the Stal.
wart element of the Republican par
ty has tried to force down the throats
of the party the men they knew the
great majority of the party disliked.
Cunning, %cuteness, INSCRIPTIONS use
of means, readiness ofaction by men
that make especially of the business
of running conventions, have given
them success when the real strength
of their factions was n to ten. But
at the last Republican convention
they were beaten to the dust, and
yet their man is President. But ex
perience teaches; and when the next
Republican National Convention
meets there will be two Garfeld's
nominated, that never again may 8
bullet carry a dividend to a fraction
repudiated by the voice of the par.
ty."

Lancaster Sat. Journal. ~
Important changes have lately
come over the Republicans. For a
number of years the Germans in
Ohio have allied themselves with the
Republican party, giving that party
sufficient strength 20 carry the State
ever since the election of Governor
Bishop, in 1871 Carl Schurz, the
great German apostle, was worshiped
by the Republican leaders as though
he were a god, and was paid $500 a
day for making speeches to his Ger
man friends in this State. The Ger
mans were all right then. They vot.
ed with the Republican party. They
then belonged to the respectable
party, and to the party Of brains"
They were glorious men then. The
sweet accent of the German was re
garded as being most delightful, an6
their breath, like a sweet odor, was
inhaled with great joy. No encom
iums were too high to give to the
magnanimous and noble hearted Ger
mans. But now how is it? Are they
the same as they were a year ago
when Charlie Foster met them a
their beer gardens in Cincinnati OF
Sunday, and asked for "z,Uet glds,
6eer?" No; they are Democrats now
They are the worst people on earth
They are Sabbath breakers. They
are law-violators. They are q noto
rious class of drunkards, and ar
stepped in the deepest iniquity of sin
They are not fit to reside in q decent
community. They ought to be colo
nized to themselves and made t,
serve in bondage until they will agar
be willing to come back to the "granc
old Republican party" What a ter
rible thing it is to be a Democrat
What a pity it is that all men hay'
not brains enough and sense enough
to be Republicans!
The Germans, at one time, were
noble class of people, but that tim
was when they voted the Republican
ticket. They drank their beer thel
on week days and on Sundays, al
they do now. Many of the Republi
cans electionesred them at their bee
gardensSon the Sabbath, and every
thing was lovely, because they vote'
to suit them. They were brave, the.
were noble; they, were good. It

ers and drunkards. They are ba'
men. They voted the Democrat
ticket at the late April elections, an

thy.

From Preble we hear very little.
The Internal Revenue office claims
to carry that county in its vest pock-

retention in the Revenue office to
Mr.. Bickham and Mr.. Shultz, the

interesting fact thatlis perhaps not
known to all who are here, that.our
town is indebted for its name, and
the names gof many of its streets,
to what is known in history as the
"Tripolitan war"-the result of q
slight misunderstanding between ouI
governments, and the Ottoman empire,
in reference to certain acts of piracy
committed on the high seas off that
part of the coast of north Africa
known as Tripoli. Commodore Ed
ward Preble, from whom our county
takes its name, and after whom main
street was first named, General Ea.
ton, Com. Barron, Captain Decatur
Gen. Wadsworth, all took active
parts in that war, either by sea OF
land. Eaton was laid out soon after
these men hadacquired fame by theil
bravery in battle, and our county,
city and several of its streets bear
their names respectively.
Eaton and Lexington were rival;
for the location of the county seat
