The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1884-04-29
That 81.5OO.

The Register continues its harpiDg
about money received by Mr. BOIL tn
assist in the election last fall, and char.
ges That it came from the Standard OIL
Company, which is untrue. Mr.. Bohl
did receive money for campai.n pur-
poses, but it came in the regular way,
from the Chairman Of the Demo ncratic
State Central Committee and was pxpend-
ed in legitimate manner for the SUCCESS
of the entire Democratic ticket. Ii was
used in organ 'zing the townships, pay
ing challengers and in bring. teams to
haul voters to the polls. Now, since the
Register has had so much to say about
this money, will it have the candor to
state how much money was received bv
the Republicans Of this county in 1881
rom the Standard OIL Company tor the
Legislature Was it 81, 1000 as several
prominent Republicans of this city sar-
it was2 Will it also tell why in the con-
test of that year the teams OF the Stand
ard Oil Company, at that time in this
ci y, we're used to haul Republican vo-
ters to The polls to defeat Mr.. Bohl2
When the Register answers these ques-
tions we have q few more to PROFOUND
to which a truthful answer would be in
teresting reading. - Marietta Times.
tMarietta R.gister.)
Now the Times eithe. does not know
what it is taking about or l. wilfnllv
p"rverts the facts. Mr.. Bohl received
$1,000 from David Paige that did not
come from .he Democratic Sta'e Com
mittee, that was not expended through
the c,un'y committee, nor were they
consulted about it.
We never said the Standard Oil CON-
pany, by vote of its officers, set aside
money for Mr.. B1hl's election, hut
members of said company interested in
said election did do 80 and cur author
ity is in part the foAowin from Dem
ocra'ic paper, the Columbus Times,
which used this language editorially in
is, issue Of Jan. Tn.
"Oave Paige is using as sn argument
for Payne's election that Oliver desires
it. that he (Oliver) is always liberal to
the party, and that this summer when
be was in Europe be telegrsphed Paige
10 use S2l 600 on his account, to elect
the Legislature, and that he tPalge) dis
bursed, giving BOIL 81, 500 and other
districts in proportion"
Oliver Payne is Standard Oil man
aud is in no way. connected with the
Democratic Com nittee.
Now what Mr.. Bohl received in oddi.
ttOn we do not know ami have not asked
Will the Times answer this1
Did Dave Paige pay this to Henry
Bohl2
Was it ever paid over to the commit
tee?
Dill the committee as such know any
thing about it?
The Spirit of Democracy. Dem
ocratbc paper asked :he editor of
the Times, if he did "pot send his paper
to campaign subscribers at Eve cents
with the residue male up from that
Standard Oil Paige fund ?" and he has
never made answer.
1t will he noticed that the Times very
carefully denies nothing that we have
stated Th. Sl,500 was received from
Paige and not from the committee, was
spent CT at ally outside of the commit
tee, aud it Babl received money from
the State committee it was in addition
to the 81 500 aud that We know nothing
about.
The dust the Times tiies to raise
about Standard OIL money 10 1881 is ton
Thin to cast shadow.
Is it likely the committee, after re.
moving nominee because he vas charg
ed with connection with the Standard
Oil Compaav, wouh receive money from
that concern2
The '.Republicans from this ,unty"
never received dollar from The Stand.
ard OIiS-~sa, u memBer on the ticket
ever received dollar. and no Standard
oil teams as such we're driven TO haul
voters To the nClls.
