Look at it Square,

Ed. ADVOCATE Your columns being open
for the discussion of matters Of interest to
all, would like to say word to the voters
of our county in regard to the NoYember
election.
The Ohio election has thrown somewhat
of damper on Republican enthusiasm.
What is the verdict of the country general
ly, when it required the expediture Of hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars and the pres
ence OF "magnetic" Blaine in the State Of
Ohio for fortnight to procure majority
of about 10000 in a State that gave Car
field 1000 majority. Viewing this from
political standpoint it can mean nothing
but success to the Democracy in November
Never before in the history OF American
politics was there such desperate battle
waged by either party. Considering the
fact that Republicans had their chief politi-
cal forces at work in the State Of Ohio, it is
an overwhelming victory to the Democracy.
THIS State (0hio) which gives a Republican
majority of 10000 will on the 4th day of
November give Cleveland 10000 to 20, 900
majority Never before in the past twenty
years has the popular feeling been so much
in favor Of a Democratic administration.
The people haye grown tired of waiting for
the fuliilment Of Republican promises and
orer-taxation, &c, they cry for reform, they
see in the Democratic! candidates-Cleve-
land and Hendricks men who are free
from the teint of corruption. Republicans
have grown tired of voting for every can
ddate there leaders may choose to nomi.
nate, especially when such man as Blaine
is put before them; a man who has never
yet 10 any Of his speeches spoken one word
in favor of honost and pure governments;
a man who is in with Vanderbilt. Gould,
and other monopollsts; man who while
in Congress supported corporations, and
while Secretary Of State permitted James
McSweeney, naturalized American citi-
zen, to languish in q British prison, sub
jected to insult after insult, is this not
enough to cause honest and intelligent
Americans 10 turn with feelings of disgust
from this man Blaine. If he would foster
monopoles and keep alive corporations
while Secretary ofState and Speaker Of the
House what would he not attempt to do
were he elected President of these United
States? Look at these facts square in the
face, and ask yourself, is he man to whom
you can with conscientious feelings Of
honesty give your suifrages? No, surely
your own honor will tell you this. A man
who would foster fraud and corruption in
our government, ,cne who will make you blush
the mention Of his name is not safe to elect
as the chief magistrate of this Nation. Vote
for Cleyeland, man of honesty, integrity
aud ability;a man who will make new light
shine upon our Government and wipe Re-
publican corruption from the land. Does
not Cleveland's past record from Sheriff to
Governor shine with honesty and the
work of reform. Republicans say he made
a good Sheriff, he did, he has made good
Governor, and he will make good PRESI-
DENT, one at whom every man, woman
and child may look up to with feelings of
pride Voters, give him your honest un-
prejudiced support, and not only him, but
look to your home interests and vote for
the whole Democratic local ticket,
Hurrah for Cleveland and Hendricks and
the entire Democratic ticket.
