THE Republican ticket is good from
Ben Foraker at the top to the candidate
for lntirmary Director at the bottom
There is no rsaSOn why name on the
State, Senatorial or county ticket should
be scratched. All the men on the coun-
ty ticket are Republicans. and are enti
tied to a full Knd cordial support from
the voters Of the Republican party, and
if defeated, will be defeated by the ex-
treme good nature of the voters Of their
swn party, who, in their desire to ac-
cOmmOdate Democratic candidates, vote
for them, and thus defeat their own
worthy Republican candidates. This
has been the practice of Republicans in
this county for some years, sn that now,
although the county is Republican by Il
majority of 100 or more. the Republi-
cans have less than half of the impor-
tant offices. The fact that a Democrat
whines, and cOaxes, and begs, and pleads
for Republican votes is no reason why
he should get them. 1t is rather rea-
son why he should not get them. The
man whe goes about with an able body
pleading poverty as reason why he
should be elected TO an Office is poor
stick, and deserves the vote of no man,
not even of bis own party.-Bellaire
Daily Independent.

THE Democratic managers have again
disappointed the faithful concerning the
return of their candidate for Governor.
Over week ago it was given out that
he bad fully recovered, and that he al
once would return to Ohio, and resume
the campaign, but he failed to put in an
appearance. Next, he was to be on
land on Monday-again he came not t,and
nJw it is fixed for October /. The sus-
picion grows that the managers will
keep him out of Ohio as long as possible
allowing him to return barely in time
to vote. His speaking canvass early
in the campaign ruined his chances
completely, and new they are afraid tC
turn him loose, lest he swamp the
whole business. 1t makes no difference
whether he comes or stays, his defeat is
inevitable.

Reading for COlored Voters.


Our Democratic friends, who all of u
udden, are taking a great fancy to the
colored voter, should carry with them
copy of the following resolutions,
which were part of the Ohio Dsmo-
cratic platform, adopted at the Demo.
cratic State Convention, in Columbus,
August, 1868:
Resolved, That the effort now being
made to confer the right of suffrage upon
negroes is an inSidious attempt to over.
throw popular institutions, by bringing
the right to vote into disgrace. That tie
negroes ale not competent to the exer-
else of that right, nor is it necessary to
their safety or protection. On the con-
trary, its exercise by them, if attempted,
would be fraught with terrible calami-
ties to both them and the whites. We
are therefore unequivocally opposed to
negro suffrage.
Resolved, That the experience of 1000
years has demonstrated that negroes are
not equal to white men. and all attempts
TO place them on footing of equality
politically and socially, with the whites
ever have proved and ever will prove
failures, aud all such attempts ever
have proved, and ever will prove, inju,
rious To both races.
Resolved, That this government WIS
made by white men. and 80 far AS We
have the power to preserve it. it shall
continue 10 be Il government Of white
men.
Resolved, That under the rule of Alb
oiitionism, and especially under the re-
cent military orders in Kentucky the
emigration of negroes into Ohio is q
growing evil, and in order that white
labor should be protected against negro
labor. and the people against negro pau
perism, it is the duty of the Legislature
To discourage negro emigration into oul
State.

ONE of the amazing features of the
present campaign in Ohio, is the fact
that the Democratic managers appar-
emily still hope to win the votes of Re.
publican sheep-farmers by hue and
cry over the reduction of the wool tariff
Every man who is even moderately well
Informed regarding the history and
principles of tile two great parties
knows that the Democrats have always
favored free trade, while the Republi
Can party in its infancy became the ad
Jcate of protection and has steadily
fought the "iariff-for rrevenue-only" doc
trine of the Democracy ever since. On
general principles, it is folly to suppose
that the tariff on any article produced
in the United States will be lowered by
Republican. success or raised by Demo
rfauU victory, and il the special case OF
wool The general rule is peculiarly sure
To hold good. BY far the greater par1
of the wool grown in the United State:
Is pred uced hot only in Republican
States, but in the most Solidly Republi
can counties of those States, while the
strongholds of Democracy care nothing
for the welfare of the flock-master. The
South is more friendly to game poultry
and razor-back hogs than sheep, and th,
Democratic rabble of tho great cite:
know little and care less about the in
terests Of farmers. Seli-inteTest, habits
and doctrines all impel the Republican
party to favor the wool-grower anC
equally combine to make the Democratic
party Indifferent or hostile to him. Oul
faith in the Intelligence and good sens,
OF Ohio farmers will be sadly shaken il
the wool tariff cry of the despairing De
mocracy has any power to seduce then
from their allegiance to the party Of
their friends and their interests

A TREMENDOUS EFFORT is being made
in St. Clairsville precinct by friends OF
Mr.. Barrett, the Democratic nominee
for Auditor, to induce Republicans to
scratch Mr.. T. B. Jackson, the Republi-
can nominee.
We have not one word 20 say against
Mr.. Barrett. He is very worthy young
man, and if there are enough Democrats
in the county to elect him, neither Mr.
Jackson nor any Of his friends will have
cause of complaint; but if Republicans
turn their backs upon Mr.. jackson and
defeat him they will be engaged in very
shameful work, indeed. Mr.. Barrett is
a Democrat of the straightest sect. Mr.
Jackson is sturdy Republican, in a
hopelessly Democratic township. He
was veteran soldier of the Fifteenth
Ohio Infantry, regiment that gloriied
all the great battle-felds of the South
west from Shiloh to the destruction OF
Hoods army at Nashville. He was a
good soldier and is good citizen-has
been an active and useful Republican
and will make a good Auditor.
Some Republicans who feel they have
direct personal interest in the welfare
of Mr. Barrett will support him. With
such -men who are united to him by the
ties of consanguinity-we have no dis
position to find fault; but we do insist
that no Republican can afford to turn
his back upon the good soldier and true
Republican merely to oblige good
neighbor and clever man. Jackson
never turned his back upon you, Repub.
licans of Richland township. except
when, with his gun and his life in hi;
hand, he marched South to uphold the
Union and protect your homes.

COMMISSIONERS of Pensions Dudley,
who is preparing his annual report,
states that from the data now in his
possession he thought that his estimates
for the next year would be much less
than last. OF the S1OO,OOO,0OO apprOpri-
at.d for pensions last year, there would
be about s36.OOO,OOO left in the Treas
ury. A large humber of cases had been
examined, but many of these had been
passed over. He would recommend that
the force of clerks in the field be in
creased, and the Office force decreased,
making total reduction in the present
force of about one hundred and fifty
clerks. The reduction was mainly
caused by the efficiency Of the force
which enabled a smaller number to han.
die larger volume of work.

Election Tuesday, Oct.
9th.
Second Amendment.

The indications all favor heavy vote
for the second amendment, and its
adoption is not to be reckoned among
the impossibilities. We learn FROM tie
Toledo Blade that in Hancock county,
Democratic though it be, the vote in ia
vOr of the prohibitory amendment will
be nearly unanimous. The rural dis
tricts throughout the State bid fair to
roll up heavy majorities in the same dI-
rection, while the vote in the cities and
larger towns is likely to be disappolnt-
ing to the liquor interest. There ap-
pears, indeed, TO be regular stampede
in favor of the second amendment, but
what will its adoption amount to unless
the voters arrange for its subsequent
enforcement. To merely put clause
in the Constitution prohibiting the man
ufacture and sale of Liquors will be
about as valueless as the present anti
license clause has proved to be. The
amendment, if adopted. can only be
made operative through properly enact
ed laws and their enforcement by the
courts. Such laws will not be enacted
possession of the next Legislature. Not
withstanding the fact that the body OF
Democrats purpose acting for the pro-
hibitory amendment, yet their party
leaders are under contract to the liquor
dealers to fight prohibition and over
throw the Scott law. They. stand pledg-
ed to the Cause of free rum" and In tie
event of success will use their best en-
deavors to restore an unrestricted, un-
taxed traffic Give the Democrats pow
er over the Legislature and not law
will be passed to make the prohibitory
amendment operative. This is some
thing which the friends of that amend
ment ought to think of and seek to pre-
vent. If it is deemed necessary to i'm
pose prohibition upon Ohio it can only
be done by electing Legislature which
will act in accordance with the will OF
the people. This the Democracy will
not do because they are pledged to con-
slider the interests of the liquor makers
and sellers in advance of all things else.

SOME of our Jealous Democratic friends
are overriding the thing somewhat in
the methods employed to compass
the defeat of Hoge, the Republican can
he-is a man of peculiar character. Among
the boys along the river front, who
quaff the amber fluid, Mr.. Hoge is de-
picted by these "whoopers" as a. "shad-
bellied quaker" who allows no tolerance
of opinion, while in the rural townships
he is pictured as an awful whisky seller.
who regards not the peace, good order
and well-being of society, or in other
words is a kind of human chameleon. The
fact is that Mr. Hoge was raised in the
faith of the Friends. and that he still ad-
heres TO their belief. Surely in this age
of enlightenment there can be no objec
tien TO him on that score, for these plain
transformations people are among our
most worthy and useful citizens. The
story which is handed around by these
anxious Democrats, that MI Hoge is a
liquor dealer. is circulated to prejudice
the temperance portion cf community
against him. The facts are that Mr..
Hoge is druggist, and in the line of his
business he sells liquors only on pre-
scription of respectable physician. He
pays no tax under the Scott law, and does
not carry on an illegitimate business, as
these Democratic patriots would have
temperance people believe. Mr.. Hoge, in
his personal habits, is strictly temper
ance man, and ought to be supported by
every Republican.

to Have its Natural Effect" Etc.
o. S. Journal.
Considerable has been said OF Judge
Hoadlys record in the Constitutional
convention, especially on the part he
took in the matter of protecting work
ingmen. This question has been under
consideration in the Trades unions and
elsewhere. The Columbus Trades as
sembly appointed committee to in
quire into the matter, and it reported
at the meeting last Saturday night as
follows:
We, the committee appointed by you
ito investigate and report the truth or
falsity of certain published charge
made against one George Hoadly, at
present candidate for Governor of
Ohio which charge is as follows, viz:
"HoADLY's CARE FOR wORKINGMEN."
In 1878 Judge Hoadly was member
of the convention assembled to frame a
new Constitution for the State of Ohio.
On the 9th of July, 1873, it was pre-
| pUScu " ildhC lIlO iUllOh luS piOfIclOio
part of the new Constitution:
"The General Assembly shall by penal
and other laws, provide for the safety
Of life, health and employment IN all
mines, manufactures, railway service
and other industrial positions of special
danger"
Judge Hoadly in opposing this propO-
sition among other things, said:
what wish to suggest as the safe
side is to leave the people free, and te
allow mishap and disaster TO have its
natural effect as the penalty for and
cure of the evils that result from negli-
gence which causes nishap and disas
ter"
The proposition referred to above was
defeated, and In its stead the following
was adopted:
SEC. 9. The General Assembly shall
by suitable enactments, require all such
appliances and means to be provided and
used as may be necessary to secure, as
far as possible, the lives, health and
safety of all persons to be employed M
any mine or mines in this State, and
shall, moreover, enforce such enact
mentS 10y adequate pains and penalties
This proposition was adopted by Il
vote of II yeas to 6 nays. Among those
voting may" was Judge lInady. (Set
page 1869, volume 2, part 3, Constitu-
tional Debates.)
Beg leave to make the following re
port: After careful examination OF
the official report of the constitutional
debates of 1873, we do find that Judge

guage, and did vote may" on the afore
