MANY intelligent and conservative
Democratic farmers are begizning TO
find out that there is method in the way
the Democratic party disposes of the ad-
vocates of their interests and elevates to
power tie men who persistently oppose
every measure calculated to benefit the
producing classes, and in substantiation
of their growing belief, they instance
the fact that Mr.. Follett, who voted for
the Morrison tariff bill further reducing
the tariff on wool 20 per cent, and Mr.
Hur I, the free trade leader in the House
were both re-nominated by their Demo-
cratic constituents, while Mr. Converse
who voted against the Morrison bill and
advocated a return to the wool tariff of
1867, was defeated.

man. At the conclusion of his speech
and frequently during its delivery, he
was greeted with uproarious applause.
Our opinion may go for what it's
worth, but we have no hesItancy in say
ing that Gen. Warner. utterly and igno-
miniously failed to substantiate his
charges against Col. Taylor. and the
bold and defiant spirit exhibited toward
his more modest opponent will not in
crease his popularity among the honest
voters. He has made his record and
must stand by it. Col. Taylor has made
his record, and upon their records these
two gentlemen are to be judged by th-
voters of this district. If Gen. Warner
has not proven the soldiers friend-and
the record points that way-he has no
right to expect the soldiers support.
The friends of Gen. Warner claim for
him victory. while the friends of Col.
Taylor are delighted at the outcome of
the first contest between the two candi-
dates. Col. Taylor has nothing to lose
and everything to gain by joint dis
cussion, and we venture the prediction
that if the debate is kept up throughout
the district that Col. Taylor will be the
next Congressman.

Vote When 1t VIII Count

Republicans of Ohio should understand
that the important election in this State
is that of October IA.
A vote for Blaine and Logan electors
in November will have no influence nor
value compared with vote for the Re,
publican ticket in October. A vote in
November will count one vote; it will
have no moral weight nor effect else
where.
Every vote added tn the Republican
column in October will magnify its moral
force throughout the country.
The larger the majority for the Re-
publican ticket at the State election, the
greater the impulse to the Republican
cause all over the land.
Republicans who desire to pnt their
votes where they will do the most good,
will make them count in increasing the
Republican majority in October.
If Ohio gives the State Republican
ticket good round majority in October,
November will take care of itself.

= THE Extra, the penny paper recently
established in New York, and edited 10y
Murat Halstead. states that the national
Democratic committee are considering a
plan by which Ohio shall lie carried in
October by fraud. The work is to be
placed IN the hands of an organized gang
of repeaiers, who will operate in the
large cities and the strong Democratic
counties. The conspirators will agree
for a certain sum of money to elect the
Democratic State ticket in October, and
to elect the Congressman in Cleveland
Cincinnati, and few close districts
Thorough organization of the Repubii-
cans in every ward and township in the
State CAN alone prevent the success OF
this outrageous scheme. The Republi-
cans of Belmont county are warned to
be on their guard. Organize at once and
arrange to thwart anyDemocratic scheme
thpt may be put on foot in the closing
days of the campaign.

WHILE the Democrats are bowling so
loudly over the extravagant manner in
which the public lands have been grant
ed to railroad companies, it may be d
good time to look over Mr.. Hendricks
record on this matter The official rec>
ords of Congress show that the Demo
cratic candidate for Vice President voted
for nineiy-cne land grants. In 1852,
while in The House. he voted for grant
to the Little Rock & Fort Smith rail
road, about which Blaine is so per-
sistently slandered. and in 1866, while in
the Senate, he voted to extend the same
grant and increase it four sections per
mile. In 1864 he made speech in fa-
yor of, and voted for, the grant of ST.
100000 acres to the Northern Pacific
railroad. and under the grant an En-
Rlish syndicate acquired and now holds
over 20.OOO,000 acres. In 1867 he voted
for and advocated the grant of 49,0OO,000
acres uf the public domain to the South
err Pacific rrllroad

Wool Growers

Should consider these facts carefully:
For two years the so-called Democratic
newspapers and Democratic speakers OF
Ohio have been making a great outcry
about the reduction OF the duty on i'm
ported woods, laying the blame wholly
upon Republicans, and declaring thai
the duty in the old tariff act should bs
restored.
Representative Converse. Of the Coli
umbus district, is farmer, and during
last winter labored industriously to re-
store the duty When the convention OF
his district met, few weeks ago. he was
defeated, and a recent Importation from
Missouri, who is no doubt orthodox OF
all the great economic questions, wa:
nominated in mis- stead.
Fact number Two:
Frank Hurd represents the Toledo
district He is an outspoken free trader
and during the debates upon the tariff
bill last winter sneered at the PROPOSE
tioz to restore the duty. Mr.. Hurd ha'
been nominated for re election.

SEVERAL months ago we warned the
Democracy against the nomination of
Gen. Warner. Even with an acceptable
candidate the majority would be small,
and with a candidate who swindled the
people along the Duck Creek railroad
out of thousands of dollars; who stands
charged by laboring men of having de+
frauded them of their hard earned wages,
whose record in Congress. as chairman
of bounty, back pay and pensions, was
one of hostility to the interests of the
Union soldier; with a candidate with
such a record, defeat is certain.-Cam

The american, weekly newspaper

with the triviality OF the cause to whicl
it is traced in many instances. A boy

themselves to greater strains, Tho re-
suit is, that the Americans break down

the same reason greater proportion OF

there is ono cause which counts for
