Another Lie Nailed.

1t is passing strange to note what great en-
terprises originate in little minds, and to
notice how ready the average newspaper is to
grab at trash when the brains of the editor
cannot supply the want. So wierd-like and
unsophisticated seem the effusions of the
Toledo Telegram correspondent of this place,
that we are surprised at the editors consent to
their publication. Nri|Sgn- ti'
How erratic is this manipulation of "Key
Notes" How pulverizing this budding poll
tician. If he were transplanted to the Lilli-
putian island as was Dean Swift, he might
succeed, as did Swift, in extinguishing the
disastrous fire in the Queens palace, but
would hardly be called upon to play any part
even in the politics of this miniature world.
Yet this youth wrings from his tardy. school
boys pen "Key Notes" upon which must de-
pend the issue of a, great election. Boy,
scarce out of his teens, gathering and manu-
featuring ibelous scum against well-res-
pected citizen, and taking advantage of a
distant editors ignorance of himself that he
may have his falsifcations published.
How abiect, how stultifying, how aban-
doned, how furiously ambitious is the young
man who makes a public statement, then
talks of furnishing afidavits that during this
last summer Mr.. Groschner sold brooms to
the county for So per dozen, when such trans
action did not take place at all; rather the
opposite, that two years ago under special
order, Groschner & Reddersen ordered and
sold to the janitor of the Court House, one
dozen extra good brooms costing $500 per
dozen in Cleveland; $3.50 here, for $500,
making profit of twenty cents. We have
satisfied ourselves from the books showing
the business transactions of the vendor and
the vendee, and here nail fast another lie tc
the irresponsible Telegram correspondent.

Don't be Deceived!

Democrats should not be deceived by the
apparent apathy of the Republicans. No
doubt their leaders have a share of John
Sherman's Doodle, and still hunt has been
inaugurated in order to cover up their mlaw-
full and dirty work. Honest voters should
watch closely these corrupters of the ballot
and no means spared TO bring them to justice
should they be caught in evading the law.
John Sherman and his cohorts have showed
Foraker to one side, and his candidacy for
the Senate has been made the paramount is
sue and every means will be used to send him
back. to the United States Senate. The
Republicans will also try the trading
dodge. They will be willing to sacrifice
Foraker or any one else upon their ticket for
a vote for their candidates for the Legisla-
ture. No Democrat should be mislesd BY the
sly dodge. Trade nothing upon your ticket.
Every candidate upon it is worthy of your
support, and with an unbroken front every
man can be elected, Democratic Legisla-
ture secured, which insures the election of a
Democrat to succeed John Sherman in the U.
s. Senate. Don't trade. vTr-s-r;

p1roRrascE OF THE RESULT.
To the Democrat. of Henry County.

Fellow Democrats, because there has been
but little agitation in politics this fall, don't
take IL as indicative that the result Is unim-
portant. There never has been a period in
the history of the politics Of Ohio, in which it
was so important as now, that the Dem
ocratic party should achieve a decisive
triumph at the approaching election. Some
of the dearest privileges of freemen are'in-
volved in the present contest--questions that
ought to arouse every Democrat to sense of
his duty. Should the Republican party, by
the supineness of Democrats, carry the State
and secure majority in both branches of the
Legislature, such course of legislation
would be adopted, as might place the great
Democratic party in the State for years in the
hateful and domineering power of the Re-
publican minority. We all know that the
Republican party, as an organization, has no
feeling or spmpathies for the interests of the
laboring masses. Its leaders are selfish,
ambitious, and inscriptions, and are aiming
to overthrow our Republican institutions, and
establish what they call "Strong Govern
ment, ;" which is in reality, monarchial form
of government. The reform Administration
of President Cleveland would receive
healthy and effective endorsement by Dem
ocratic victory in Ohio this fall. We call then,
upon all Democrats-upon all honest Ameri-
can citizens, to reflect we'll and deeply on the
necessity of rallying under the Democratic
Banner u Reform, of Equal Rights and Equal
I,ax md oil or M pf dis
union in our ranks. There is a common cause
before the people in which the people have a
common interest. Let a cordial and earnest
support be given by every Democrat and
every honest and patriotic citizen who favors
reform in our affairs of Government, and who
loves the free and grand institutions of our
country, to the Democratic ticket, and victory
is sure to perch upon the Democratic banner;
and then you will have the satisfaction of
knowing that you have done your duty to
your God and country. Democrats, and
honest, independent Republicans, slumber
not at your post in the face of an active, sell
fish enemy. Be vigilant to do good, and per-
severing in uprooting craft, unhallowed pas
sion, violence and treason to the peace, hap
piness, greatness and prosperity of our
country. Consecrate your efforts to the well
fare of your country, the perpetuity of our
good and glorious American institutions
and the improvement of society, and defeat
the designs of the perfdious, intriguing lead
ers of the Republican party. The mass of
the Republican party are honest and patri-
otic, but the leaders are corrupt and design
ing. Defeat these schemers and you will
have performed high and holy duty that
the God of Heaven will smile upon.

Give us More Such.

Col. John s. Williams, third auditor of the
Treasury Department, assumed charge of his
field of labor May 9Th. He found work far
in arrears and nearly every one in that De-
partment on the laze. The pension division
especially was nearly one year behind in its
settlements with agents, involving over $75,-
10000 Of accounts. Some of the work was
over two years behind. In the quartermas-
ters, commissaries and other departments
everything was astern to q total of $104 ,OO0,-
600. In the short space of four months end
ing August 1st he not only cleaned up all the
old accounts but brought new work square up
to date, but reports that he can dismiss six
teen out of his 15S clerks, shorten his force to
142, and have his Office then in perfect trim.
Such public officer is worth having. Voters
vote the Democratic ticket next Tuesday and
sustain the President in his work of reform.
The Democratic party is saving the country
millions of dollars and still getting the ma
tion ont of the rut which it was thrown into
by the Republican party.

~ The Enquirer. last week reproduced a
letter written in 1863 by Murat Halstead, of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, to Sal
mon P. Chase, in which Halstead advises the
assassination of President Lincoln and wishes
for the death of General Grant. The letter
has been proven to be genuine, and the writer
is either lunatic or depraved scoundrel.
Yet this man Halstead is the big mucky- muck
Of the Republican party, busy every day heap
ing his vile abuse upon Gov. Hoadly and the
Democrats generally. The letter appears up
on our inside, and should be read by every
body and the writer denounced by all patri-
otlc citizens. The Cincinnati Telegram say
in its comments upon the letter:
"* We have written this of him in a
spirit of charity rather than harshness. Ger
tainly, if he is not insane, then his utterances
in this letter, which are in keeping with his
whole life, stamp him as one of the most dia-
bolical, would-be murderers that ever dis.

I4s The Democrats of Henry county should
feel that it is duty they owe to the Democ-
racy of the whole state to give the regular
majority and add some to it. There is every
reason in the world why they should turn out
and vote. The Republican leaders abuse
them most outrageously, and will insult them
if they stay away from the polls. The desti-
nies Of the country have been intrusted to
the Democratic party and it is the duty of ev-
tion of public affairs. For years they went to
the polls in the midst of State and national
defeat, secure the present opportunity. There
are ten reasons why they should WELD the
power of the ballot towhere there was one
a dozen years ago. rE,1HA

indorsing the following resolution, recently
promulgated by the County Democracy of
New York: ''That life tenure of Office is un-
Democratic and calculated to nurse into or
ganized existence an aristocratic ofice-hold-
ing class, who will not be accountable to the

eY- The Toledo Post, in speaking of the
attempt to do away with the silver dollar,
talks right out as follows:
'The government has established the dol
lar as 412L grains of silver: debts have been
contracted ON this basis; the workingman's 3
house has been bought for certain number
of these dollars; he has incurreda debt to be
paid in money of this value -and now John
Sherman and the SPECTATORS and syndicates
demand that these dollars shall be so in
creased in value that one-fourth shall be
added to the workingman's debt"
Voter, cast your ballot for the party that is
against the money sharks, the Democratic
party, the friend of all the people.

Democrats, are you aroused to the
discharge of your duty? Have you perfected
the organization of your town and school
districts? Have you resolved to give few
days of active service to the cause of your
country? Remember the enemy is unscrupu-
lous and is quietly in the field. Be up and
doing. Do not delay action. Only a short
period remains till the decisive and important
conflict takes place. Be active and vigilant
in your preparation to meet the enemy and to
be triumphant! Look out for the thousand
and one plots and lies that will be attempted
by the Republican leaders, Everything that
is dear to you as American citizens is at stake.
This is no time, then, to be indolent and in
active! This is no time to indulge in any
personal prejudices-to foster any private in
terests. No! Let all minor questions be cur
rendered at this time, and let all Democrats
move as one man in the support of our entire
ticket, State and county. If the Democrats
do their duty, enough of honest, patriotic
Republicans, who have become tired and dis
gusted with the dishonest, hypocrisy and cor
ruption of the leaders of their party, willvote
with us to make our exertions successful
Remember, in union alone there is strength;
then let the Democracy in every neighbOr-
hood be united. Let nothing divide us. The
true interest of one is the interest of all-no
matter what his occupation or condition
Let this truth be remembered; and let US also
realize that by a firm and unwavering sup
port of our entire ticket alone can the inter
ests of any Democrat be advanced. A severe
and important battle is soon to befought, but
by proper exertions and determination the
victory will be ours.
