The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-07-26

Our old Pennsylvania democratic
friend, DIR. Thos. d. Stiles, of Green
vile, O., by request addressed a
large Democratic meeting at the city
Hall in that place, on Friday eve
ming of last week, giving his reasons
why he supported Judge Hoadly and
for the faith he has in him as a Dem
~ocratic standard bearer. The speech
is replete with sound sense and sound
Democratic doctrine, and should
have a wide circulation. The Doc
tor is an old war Democrat and serv-
ed in the rebellion. Here is what
he says ofhis support ofJudge Hoad-
ly:
"Before the State Democratic Con-
vention 1 was the firm and faithful
follower of my old friend and fellow
soldier, Gen. Ward, and l used all
the influence l possessed to secure
his nomination, and when the news
Of his defeat reached me, l must con
TESS that | felt very sore and much
dissatisfied with the result. But, on
mature reflection, l came to the con-
clusion that, as we had made q gal-
liant fight for the old war horse, Gen
Ward, and had suffered defeat in ac-
cordance with the customs and usag-
es of the party, that it was my duty,
and that honor counseled me, to
cheerfully acquiesce in the decision
and choice of the convention. Not
being personally acquainted with
Judge Hoadly, 1 set TO work to as
certain his record. Finding that he
was originally Il Democrat in poll
tics, a social gentleman, an eminent
~inrist, Il fine scholar, distinguished
statesman, and 4 true and reliable
Democrat in his early days as well
rs since he last Joined IL l deter
mined TO give him my warm aud cor
dial support, and if my life is spared
L shall certainly do So"

The large and useless body of cit
liens who, tor some inscrutable rea-
son, are paid BY this country to re-
side in foreign ports as Ministers
and Consuls will be- grieved by a de
cision which Comptroller Lawrence
has just made. Lawrence holds that
a Consul can begin to draw pay only
from the time he actually begins his
official duties, if he has any. Hither-
TO the philosophers and defeated Con
gressmen who ornament u "diplo.
matte service" have been in the hab-
it of lingering at home long after
their appointment. They were al
lowed to draw pay as soon as they
had taken the official oath and filed
an acceptable bond. If the First
Comptrolier's decision is sustained,
budding diplomats will take more
pains to arrive at their posts soon
after appointment. Most Of them
cannot be said to earn any of thei,
salary, for they do nothing, and
wouldn't know how to do any thing
if they had it to do. But the money
paid to them before they reach theil
posts is a pure gratuity. 1t would
be q good idea to pay the members
of our diplomatic service" by the
week or day. The high salaried Min
listers are usually absent from theil
legations two CIR three months every
year. They get tired Of loafng, and
comfort themselves by travelling tt
some other capital.

The Qualification of the word Ne
gro by the St. Louis Colored Con
vention, through the demand that it
shall always enjoy a capital N, re-
minds US of the fact that the color
ed philosophers of the country have
been for some time attempting to ell
evate that word from the degrade
ton into which it fell during slavery
times. We are informed that many
colored preachers now speak of their
focks not as colored people, but as
negroes; many of the colored news
papers refrain altogether from talk
ing about colored people, and use
the work Negro, and the learned
Prof. Williams's book is entitled
"History o fthe Negro Race in Amer
ica."

Judge Thurman is right when he
says that sit is the Democratic par
ty shat is strong this year" 1t is
strong because the principles it I'D
vocates are right and in accord with
the sentiments of the people. Per
sonal liberty, equality of taxation,
and economy and honesty in the ex-
penditure of the public moneys APP
peal to the popular heart, and all
that is asked for officers to honestly
carry out these declarations.

The army worm, which it was
hoped had been put Oh the retired
list Or had finished his former term
establishment, has now reappeared in
some parts of Pennsylvania, and has
already co united great ravages in
the course Of his mission. His first
objective seems to have been to sup
ply himself with full rations of to
bacco, and in a brief time he has
'raided through hundreds of acres of
this plant. The locust and other
scourges of vegetation have already
done great damage in various parts
of the country, and it must be dis
heartening to the farmers to now find
this veteran foe in arms and ON the
march.

We advise the writer of the Eaton
Register, who pirates so much about
Democrats rewarding renegade Re
pub'icans, TO cast his horoscope back
over the examples his own party have
set in regard to the treatment be-
slowed on men who deserted the
Democratic party, and take in such
persons as Grant, Johnson, Brough,
Todd, Logan, Key, Longstreet, Mos
10y, and scores of others. The exhi-
bition of consistency in Republican
editors and writers is truly marvel
Gus.

Mr. Preston. ,be ACTING di,

Mr.. Preston, the acting dill ector
Of the mint, says that under the act
authorized the coinage of
trade dollars these pieces were coin
ed for depositors of silver bullion at
the mints, and the charge imposed
for coinage vas at a rate not to ex-
coed the actual cost to the govern
ment of manufacture. By this act
any owner Of silver bullion could
have the same coined into trade dol
lars. They. therefore, were not is
sued or paid out by the government
in payment of the obligations or ex-
changed for other money. The gov
eminent has endeavored to keep the
trade dollar in its lawful and proper
channel, and from ignorance of the
law relative to this coin parties have
taken them in ordinary business
transactions, when they could have
been lawfully refused.

Judge William H. West, the lead
er of the fanatical element of the Re-
publican party and who had more to
do with the passage of the Pond and
Scott laws than any other man, has
written m elaborate opinion, that
the Scott law can be made to apply
as a prohibitory law. The Judge
takes the position that it was the in
tent of this law to prohibit, and that
it can be made p%rohibitory anywhere
aud at any time. This opinion is in
line with the decision of the Supreme
Court, which held that there was
nothing in the law to forbid prohibit
ton. The Republican party is there
fore in the attitude of supporting
and indorsing the fanatical notions
of the extreme ProhiOit:onists.

Ring scandal, the Star Route scan

an administration as would preclude

disappointment Of Wards friends,
and the jealousies which Hoadly's
supposed Presidential candidacy
will awaken among the supporters
of other favorites, are about the only

One feature Of the Scott law is I'M
fair, in imposing the same tax on a
small country saloon that it does on
the large ones in the cities. 1t was
on this very ground that the Pond

the discrimination between cities.
villages and the country being one
of the main points against it.

The Republican Party's Future.

slFrOM me GOrClanQ ReSfster.I
With the Lincoln Administration
the Republican party first acquired
prominence and power, and by a
combination of circumstances it was
called upon to do its best work at the
beginning of its career. To it were
attached many able men and accom-
plished statesmen, who sooner or
later lost their influence with the
party and became detached from its
support.
1t is a very significant fact that
with the single exception of one
whose absence was requested and
who left in rather bad oder, every
member of Lincoln's original Cabi-
net became antagonistic to and left
the party. Greeley, Sumner, Fessen-
den, Trumbull, Adams and that class
of men were denounced, and a total
ly different class of men came 10 the
front and assumed control.
From that time forward, while ad-
venturous politicians have been rush
ing to its standard, the better ele-
ment of the party-the men who
gave it character and standing
hive been leaving it.
Give the Republican party credit
for oil the good it may have accom-
plished and still there follows q long
accountability, such, for instance,
as
The Boss Shepherd Ring frauds in
the District of Columbia.
The safe burglary iniquity.
The whisky frauds, reaching to
the White House.
The Freedman's Bank swindle.
The neutrality-suspicious..
The Robson naval frauds.
The Sanborn frauds.
The Indian Bureau frauds.
The Pension Bureau frauds.
The Black Friday ~rascality.
The theft of the Presidency in
1876.
Tue Indiana bribery in 1880.
And the Star route frauds, not to
mention a long list of other offences,
any one-of which ought to and would
overthrow any other political party
that ever existed in this country.
Those who acted with it from the
start, and held out with it as long as
~self.respect would allow them to dc
so, admit and assert that it has been
false to all its first principles, and
become q party of presence and by
Eocrisy.
