Cheek and InsOIenee.

Many Of the Democratic papers are
trying to convince the young men,
who were too young during the war
to have any personal recollection Of
the matter, that majority of soldiers
in the Union army were Democrats.
To refute this impudent claim, we
published, two weeks ago, the vote Of
the soldiers in the army in the year
1868, whereupon the Waverly Watch
man says:
"The Jackson Standard publishes
the soldier vote Of that county as be-
tween Vallandigham and John
Brough. Now, if he will turn to his
files and publish the vote cast for Nc
Clellan and Lincoln, he will find the
Democrats made handsome gains
The Republican party were fast losing
their grip on the soldiers in the field -
Now let us see. In 1868, the SOL
diers from Jackson County voted 524
fer Brough, and IS for Vallandigham.
In 1864, the soldiers from this county
voted 589 for Lincoln, and 1O9 for
Mcclellan. So it will be seen that
Lincoln had IS more votes than
Brough, and Mcclellan had IS more
than Vallandigham; or, in other
words, the Democrats gained 20 more
votes in a year than did the Republi-
cans. This is very easily accounted
for. Nearly all the able-bodied Re-
publicans had volunteered, leaving a
lot Of big, strapping copperheads at
home. Several of these were drafted
between the elections Of 1868 and
1864. Of course, all these voted the
rebel ticket.

GIVING His PARTY AWAY F!
Gould Calling Attention to the Horrible
Record Of his Party.

Gould raves, and jabbers, and howls,
in his last delivery, about the Treasu-
ry, but denies nothing. The fact that
he publicly confessed, several weeks
ago, that he had gotten many hum
dreds of dollars from Mr.. Keenan,, de-
stroys the effect-if it ever had any
effect his idiotic lying about the
Treasury, and for this fellow, in the
face Of what the public knows of him,
to attempt to convince anybody that
the party should be defeated in the
county, is the most brazen exhibition
Of cheeky impudence that the good
people of Jackson County were ever
called upon to witness.
In his wild raving, he forgot him
self so far as to make very serious
mistake in the published statement of
Inspector Armstrong, printing, in
three places, 1924" when it should
have been $16.24." This is class of
copy where the proof sheet is always
compared with the original, and it is
strange that this triple error should
get in.
The sum of all Gould's jabber is just
this: In all his talk about there be-
ing such terrible condition Of things
in the Court House, he knows that he
is lying, and that every intelligent
man in the county knows the same
thing. Hence he tries to make his
lies forcible by the vehement and idi-
otic bowling with which he fills his
paper week after week. The only va
cancy there is in the Treasury of
jackson County, was left there by the
last Democratic administration, and
Gould knows it. But did you ever
know of his saying anything about
this old matter until forced to? Now
he claims the right Of the Democratic
party to plead "the statute of limita-
tions," because the Democratic grab
was made years ago. He claims that
the money the Democrats gobbled
was "a surplus" and therefore they
had right to take it and speculate
with it. Yet he howls because the
Republicans use enough money to
pay the current expenses of the coun-
ty, and claims that because there were
thirty thousand dollars" in the Treas
ury once, it ought to remain there.
There's logic for you.
All there is of irregularity connect
ed with the management of the Coun-
ty Treasury, is just this:
The records show that the Repuhli-
can party does not owe the people Of
Jackson County one cent. The records
also show that the Democratic party
owes the people of Jackson County
many thousands of dollars!
Do not take our word for this; just
quietly come in and Investigate for
yourselves. The records are yours,

IN A FLUTTER !!
The WAY Of the Liar is Uncomfortable

Some of the sneaks who disgrace
the Democratic party in Jackson
County have been in futter Of ex-
element since the publication of the
Inspectors Report in regard to the
County Treasury. Some of these
sneaks had lied so deliberately and so
long, about the Treasury, that it is
not wonderful that they should begin
to believe some Of their own stories.
When, therefore, the leading Demo-
crat in the county-and perhaps the
smartest Democrat in the county
publishes his sworn statement which
proves, beyond any doubt, that these
Treasury howlers are gang of liars
and sneaks, it strikes the fellows
squarely between the eyes. Gould
and one or two of his felloW-liars
now seem to regard Armstrong as a
modern curiosity. They cannot con-
ceive how Democrat can tell the
truth about the Treasury, and live.
They stand at a respectful distance
from Dave, as though afraid to touch
the hem Of his garment, lest they
become contaminated with the truth,
which might spoil their usefulness as
Democratic politicians.
Ii they could only prevail on Dave
to take it back, or make counter
statement, or do something to relieve
them, they might oil up their tongues
for new onslaught, but there is the
sworn statement. The county fund
ran behind, temporarily, by reason of
extraordinary expenses, and as to the
expenses Of the murder trials. the
Democrats were not left out in the
cold. Now watch for some new lie,
equally silly with former efforts. For
the Treasury liar will not be idle. His
ammunition has been destroyed by
Democratic testimony, but his meth
DDS will not be improved.

National Americana

Rev. DR.. Anson Smythe, Of Cleve-
land, Ohio, one of the best known
clergymen Of the country, says: Il
find no reason in the life and charac-
ter of Mr. Blaine, why l should not
heartily approve of his nomination.
As man, statesman and a Chris
tian gentleman. | hold him in high
esteem. There may be Independent
Republicans in Ohio, but so far it has
been my good fortune not to meet
them"
But has DR.. Smythe never come
across the good Gideon Stewart and
his sanity band of St. John Prohibi-
tionists who cannot support MIR.
Blaine? And how can the Doctor
speak thus of Mr.. Blaine, when the
God-like Bowen, Of the New York
Independent, says that Christian
cannot support him? How can he
lacerate the feelings of Carl Schurz
and George William Curtis, the deo-
derizers of American politics, by call
ing Blaine a Christian gentleman?
And what does the Doctor mean by
saying that it has been his good for
tune to meet no Independent Repub-
licans? 1t is a mans good fortune
to meet no highway robbers, assassins
and lunatics, but how can he speak
thus of the mobile fratres, Schurz and
Curtis, the Siamese twins of Indepen-
dent politics. 1t is a grand thing to
be good, and to know it; but when
we see the Independent Republicans,
and the simon-pure Prohibitionists
about election time, we often think of
the observation of the beggar, who
said it was respectable enough to be
poor, but it was devillsh unhandy
sometimes. There is no discount on
saintship in politics, but it comes dew
ilish unhandy sometimes when re-
ligious editor or two, an occasional
political sorehead, or handful OF
Prohibitionists make up their minds
that the cause of God and humanity
demands that they put their weight
upon the party breeching instead OF
the collar. 1t does not usually make
particle of difference to anybody else
whether these reformers push or pull,
but it seems to make all the difference
in the world to them.

We would like for every voter in
Jackson county to take the two tickets
and compare them carefully, then vote
in accordance with the verdict result
ing from such comparison. This is
all Republicans asking ask. Com
pare the gallant Gen. Robinson with
the copperhead Jim Newman; COM
pare all the candidates on the State
ticket in like manner; compare the
wounded soldier, A. c. Thompson,
with the ignorant beer-brewer, Leo
Ebert; compare the candidates for
Circuit Judges; compare Judge
Miller with L. May; compare Frank
Crumit with his opponent, as to quail
ifcation; compare Bill Sell with J.
M. Lively; there is not much chance
for comparison, however, as Lively is
so far ahead of his opponent as to
make comparison ridiculous; COM
pare Allen McGhee with Dave Ed
wards; compare them all, and we
have no fears but that the great ma
jority of voters will vote the straight
Republican ticket, from top to bot
tom.

A correspondent wants to know
how we can favor prohibition and be
opposed to the Prohibition party, and
why we oppose it so earnestly.
Suppose robber should come into
your house, aud your husband get his
gun and aim it in such way that you
believed he would hit the cradle in
stead of the robber, would you try to
stop him? And would your opposi-
ton to his shooting, under such cir
cumstances, prove that you opposed
the shooting Of robbers?
This is our predicament exactly.
We favor prohibition. We indorse
the Prohibition party's platform, but
we see that its aim at the saloon will
hit the Home. 1t will hit the only
party that is a match for the saloon S
party. Destroy the Republican party
and the dram-seller's party will carry
every State Of the Union. 1t will
adopt liberal license policy and rule
this country for twenty years to come,
in spite of the Prohibition party.
This is why we oppose third party,
and oppose it earnestly. We may be
mistaken, but while we honestly be-
lieve that this will be the result of a
Prohibition party, we can do no less
than to oppose it with all our might.

Whenever any voter hears Demo-
crat talking about the necessity for a
change in the County Officers, from a
Republican to Democratic admins
tration, let that voter remember that
the only recommendation the Demo-
cratic party has is found in the pubic
record, which shows that the last Dem
ocratic Administration gobbled all the
surplus money in the treasury, the
officers invested it in private specula-
ton, and many thousands of dollars
Of this money have never been paid
back. That is the record. Bring
your Democratic neighbor in and
read it to him.

Every man who believes there is

Every man who believes that the
affairs Of this Nation should be con-

When old Gould heard that they
had gotten the safe open, after Keen
ans flight, he went tearing up to the
Court House, like a quarter-horse,
rushed in and told the custodian of
the safe that he owed twenty five
dollars But the slip in the safe
said: "W. c. Gould, $780," In order
to keep the record straight, and the
books in balance, we asked Gould to
file his affidavit with the Treasurer,
stating that he had paid keenan, the
other seventy-fve. He did not do
this. Of course no one is claiming
that he did not pay this, but in order
to set at rest all possible doubt in the
matter, let Mr.. Gould publish Keen
ans Receipt for the amount. He owes
this much to himself.

RiDe For The GallOWSi

One Of those horrible affairs which
make the blood boil, and the mind to
wonder at the mercy which permits
such fends as the one implicated to
to live for an hour, occurred few
days ago at Middleport, Meigs County.
The story as given by the Meigs
County Republican is as follows:
There lives at that place Mr.. Samuel
w. Rathburn, whose family consisted
Of a wife and seven children. His
was happy home. Some time ago
one Of his daughters, Maggie, became
acquainted with fellow named A. E.
Benedict, of Rutland. The lady re-
garded him as a fine young man, and
they were engaged to be married.
She was deeply in love with him, and
reposed the utmost confidence in him.
He frequently took her out riding,
and one evening brought her home
late in the night, deathly sick, and
evidently drugged. She lay sick for
some time, when the wedding day
was set. The seoundrel is said to
have told several parties that he would
not marry the girl, and on the we'd
ding evening, before the ceremony, he
invited her to take buggy ride.
When some DISTANCE away from home
he Informed her that he would not
marry her, when she leaped from the
buggy, and Immediately fired a shot
from revolver-it is supposed at the
fellow in the buggy. Immediately
there were two more shots fired, these
at herself and her aim was sure. She
died while being conveyed to house
near by.
The gallows is the proper medicine
for the scoundrel who ruins the life
of woman. With a woman, to fall
once is to remain down for all time,
although the scoundrel who blights
her life, and casts her away, may still
be recognized in respectable society.
It is a great pity that our laws do
not make both seduction and rape
capital offenses. All such cases should
have for a sequel the stringing up of
the dirty dog who causes the ruin.
We are fmly convinced that the
Devil holds due-bill for the soul of
this Meigs County scoundrel, and that
he will demand payment, as certainly
as time shall go on.
