the Messengers serious efforts to show the
unreasonableness of holding the republi-
can party responsible for the business
transactions of Bradley Barlow and Law
renee Brainerd. The Messenger is still
waiting for I" the official figures" before
it ventures to have an opinion as to the
responsibility for the financial crash at

This convention met in Cincinnati, which
is virtually Hamilton county, to nominate
candidates for county officers. Being the

of his successor coming before the next

democratic body had almost a national
significance Mclean, the publisher of

THE Reformer says THE WATcHMAN
will find by examining the auditors re-
ports I" that while the war charges were
constantly decreasing, the other state ex-
penses were steadily run up, until before
1880 the one item of court expenses had
grown to be nearly as large as the whole
expenses for 1876" 1t further says that
"the period from 1875 to 1880 was the
most extravagant and prodigal of all, and
that the aggregate of expenses, exclusive
of anything like war payments, had gone
well above 100000 year." This is all
very lucid and consistent. In 1876 court
expenses were $4,000; in 1877, $l13,-
900; in 1878, 100000; in 1879, 10000 /;
in 1880, the year of the democratic
racket" $4,000. The court expenses for
1876 were, we believe, at high water mark.
But democratic racket in 1880 prob
ably effected substantial reduction in
each of the years following 1876. The
"whole state expenses for 1876, accord
ing to the Reformer's specific figures,
were "well above 100000 In point of
fact, they were about S2S6. 900, as stated
by Governor Proctor. Now in which of
the years "before 1880" did the one
item of court expenses grow to be nearly
as large as the whole expenses for 1876
either Governor Proctor's $2S6,000 or the
ReformeTS definite swell above $780,.
000"P The Retormer is sticking, in its
own courteous phrase, to "an unmitigated
inaccurscy," and is twisting facts and
figures to make it appear to be the truth.

sources. II | were called upon to name the
fountain from which our great prosperity
flows, would place. first of all, the honest OBJ
servance of the public faith, and second, the
maintenance Of protective laws, by which our
industries have been diversified and our labor
properly protected from foreign competition.
The agitation OF the repeal Of these laws, or
their substantial change or modification, Gre
ates distress and embarrassment and the sue
cess of the democratic party, openly or secretly
pledged to the repeal modification of these
laws will be itself serious calamity"
Republican success" said Mr.. Sber-
man in conclusion, means the continu-
ance of prosperity, the development of
our resources and the protection of our
industries. The election of Judge For
aker is the beacon light for republican
success in 1884, Let us, fellow-republi-
cans of Ohio, do our duty this fall, and
our fellow-republicans throughout the
United States will be strengthened by our
victory and follow our example,"

HARPER's WEEKLY "The chief con-
tribution OF the democratic party toward
the campaign OF next year is an attempt
to detame the dead Garfield by means of
Dorsey's statements, supplemented by sim
liar anonymous allegations. AS yet, how
ever, no evidence has been produced.
Dorsey says what he chooses and vituper-
ates at his pleasure. His stories have
probably not affected the opinion of a
single person in the country, while the
repetition of them by the democratic
press as telling argument against re-
publican ascendency, in view of the un-
qualified condemnation and reputation
OF Dorsey by the republican press, shows
how curlously feeble is the democratic
assault, That unhappy party, which in
the last twenty years has been at its wits
end to find some way of returning to the
control OF the government which demo
Gratis sought to overthrow, apparently
thinks that the true way is to call the roll Of
republican rascals whom the republicans
have turned out"
