the Legislature will take action on
the whisky question and "strike it

Al! the People ask of the Legis-

Isn't this fair all around?

There is abject terror. among the
Republican party leaders in Ohio on
account of their inability to longer
deceive the wool growing element of
the party. 1t becomes every day more
apparent that large numbers of wool
growers who have heretofore support,
ed that party, will not be hoodwink,
ed or longer deceived by promises OF
good faith to their Interests in the
future. 1t is too plain that when the
Republican party had the power il
betrayed their interests to please the
manufacturers, and the hollow prom.
Uses to restore the tariff after they
have lost control of the House oil
Representatives is sensibly looked
upon as another deception. The fact
is patent that the most intelligent
Republican wool growers in Ohio in.
tend to rebuke this political dishon.
esty at the polls.

Mills Gardner says to a cores
pendent of the { incinnati CONNER
cial- Gazette, VIII. asked him, "Are
the supporters of the amendments
from any n party plincipally?"
No sir: every party is represented.
Among our active workers we mum
Der Democrats, Republicans, Prohibi-
zionist and Greenbackers; who will
of course vote their regular party
tickets, but who are united in their
support of the second amendment.
The platform from which l speak
often has the bitterest Democrat and
Republican sitting upon it, side by
side, and united only in the support
of this one issue To give an ex-
ample: In Brown county the feeling
in favor of the amendment is ey.
tremely strong, and the local COM
mittee is very active and iudefati
gable. The committee consists of
two Republicans, two Democrats and
two Prohibitionists, all at swords
points in party relations, but work
ing together for the amendment like
Turks. Brown county will give the
amendment a rousing majority.

PILES.

PILES are frequently preceded by
sense of weight in the back, loins and
part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some at
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are psesent, as flatulency, I'M
easiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture, like p~erspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, particular
ly at night after getting warm in bed,
is a very common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching,
and effecting a permanent cure, where
all other remedies have failed. Dc
not delay until the drain on the sys.
tenn produces permanent disability
but try it and be cured. Price Sc

Gen. Durbin Ward, in his speech
at Gallon, said: The whole tariff
ideas of the two parties divide on
the line between labor and capital.
A Republican tariff is in the inter-
est of capital. The Democratic tariff
is in tie interest of labor. The on e
protects money, the other protects
men. A man is better than a dollar.
The dollar in the thousand form of
aggregated capital is strong enough
to take care of itself. The man I'M
organized and competing. is ever the
prey of the dollar, organized and
comb ming. He needs freedom from
governmental favoritism to capital.
Republican tariff enslave, Democrat
ic tariff enfranchise labor. Republi-
can restrictive legislation has driven
our ships from the ocean. Under
Democratic legislation the breeze
will kiss our merchant flag in every
C inc and on every sea.

1t is very beautiful and touching
for a political party to pose before
the people of the country as a party
of "high moral IDEAS" and to claim
to represent all the purity and hou-
esty to be found in any political par
ty in the country, yet when such
claims are made the political mana
gers should exercise some prudence
in their public utterances, in order
that there may be at least a out
ward show of consistency in the pro-
LESSONS. Our Republican friends,
claiming to be the opponents of all
that is truly good and pure in the
country have, by the uttcrances of
their leaders, placed themselves on
record in the following contradictory
u~tterances. which for convenience of
comparison we place alongside of
each other:

The Eaton Bosses and their aids
will tell the Republican voters of the
county, that it would be a terrible
misfortune if a Democrat should be
elected to, County office, but the
calamity would only be to the Eaton
Ring, not the taxpayers, for the vot
ers know the Democratic candidates,
and know them to be as honest and ca
pable as their Republican compel
itors, and if a couple of them are
elected it will be a public benefit to
rcbuke corruption and bribery and
the "kuklux" business.

In 1879 and 1881, Governor C.
Foster secured his own election and
that of the Republican State ticket
by entering into a league with the
Ohio Brewers Association, by which
they continued to support the Re.
publican ticket and subscribed some
$4,000 towards its success, upon the
condition that their interests should
be protected" by that party in the
Legislature.

While The Republican newspapers
throughout Ohio are Boosting of the
amount of revenue brought into tie
different county treasures by the
effect of the Scott liquor law, they,
with n accord, seem to ignore the
fact that Republican legislation has
cost the farmers of each county in
Ohio much more money than has
been paid in by the saloon keepers
and liquor dealers under the Scott

How many positions in Asylums

When Hi. Robbins was Recorder
Of Preble county no %janitor was paid
for out ofthe Treasury to keep the

office, was kept in as good and

others. Thin, isn't it?

mount does not include the uncoined

If the honest and independent vot-
ers of Preble county do not sit down
upon the means used by the Bosses
and Ring to nominate their ticket,
they will simply show their inability
to properly estimate the public affairs
of our County.

No Democrat should permit him
self to feel that victory for the State
ticket is assured. 1t is not assured.
On the contrary, it will require the
best efforts of every voter to enable
the Democracy to poll E. majority.
Nothing is gained by undertaking the
strength of an opponent. Our enc
mics are strong, willy and determined,
and their overthrow will demand the
exertion of our utmost strength.

The wool clip of Ohio this year is
estimated at p, 900, 900 pounds. Any
of our farmer friends can readily tell
how much the wool growers of the
State lose this year in consequence
of Republican tariff legislation, by
simply multiplying the above figures
by five. The loss to Preble county
will be about $1,000! How do you
like it farmers?
