selves to become careless as to wheth
er they vote or not, let us call atten
ton to this circular, sent out by the
Democrats in this County last Fall.
1t was signed by different leading
Democrats, and those sent out were
not all signed simply by the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee. Note
carefully the language of the circular
It is a queer combination:
JACKSON, OHIO, October 25th, 1884.
l. DEAR SIR:-The October election is past and the
Democracy were beaten in Ohio by mere plurality
of little 10000. by U. s. Marshals Repeaters
Revolvers at the polls the intimidation by employers
who desired to vote the Democratic ticket
and by the use of money to corrupt voters.
3 change of three votes in each voting precinct,
will give Ohio to Cleveland and Hendricks; there
fore in view of this fact call personally to
give your time and attention in getting out every
Democratic vote. Tuesday. November 4th, and get
ONE doubtful vote besides to vote with you.
8. Democracy has Government officers whose
salaries the whole people pay, riding over the land
like Dudley with money contributed by Monopo-
lists, Star Route Thieves and ofceholders, to pay
for political work and corrupt the ballot-box.
4. AS you love your country and honest government
and desire return to the principles of Jefferson,
the fathers, call upon you to give one
day to your country.
s. Let each man who feels that elections were de-
vised to change administrations whenever change IS
needed, do his duty, and victory is ours.
6. Believing in your earnestness in the cause OF
good government, we are
Respectfully yours,
G. DAVID,
H. L. CHAPMAN,
j. T. MOORE,
G. j. REINIGER,
r. PETERS,
d. ARMSTRONG,
H. HoLLBERG.
/ As to the first paragraph, there is
not an intelligent Democrat any
where who really believes word of it
and the probability is that many sig
natures were placed to it without tax
ing the pains to read it. The second
paragraph gets down to business. A
change Of three votes in each voting
precinct in the State would defeat
the Republican ticket! See to it, Re-
publican friend that you are not one
of the three, for the same game will
be tried this year with regard to
the Democratic candidate for Treasur-
er. See to it that you are not the one
doubtful voter, who is to be changed
We can elect every Candidate on the
Republican County ticket by good
| majorities if we but vote the Republi-
| can ticket. Mr. Reiniger-whom the
Democrats are making such tremen-
dous efforts to re-elect, has made a
good officer, but that is not sufficient
grounds for reelection. 1t was his
duty to fill the Office properly, and he
simply did it. That the office would
be equally well filled by Mr.. Davies,
perhaps no one will attempt to deny.
He is an experienced business man,
and if elected will conduct the affairs,
and discharge the duties of the Office,
in person. We know whereof we af-
firm, when we say that Mr.. Davies
seeks the office for himself, and if the
people shall choose bim as their Treas
urer. he will be their Treasurer in
fact Read the 5th paragraph in the
circular Many men last Fall believed
that elections were made to change
administrations, and decided that a
change was needed. Victory was
ours" Democracy was triumphant
What was the change? Simply a
change from seventy-fve to fifty cents
per ton for coal-digging, and from
one dollar all the way down as low as
twenty-five cents per day for labor.
The third paragraph shows the Demo
cratic idea of the duties of Govern
ment officers at general elec
tons As ''the change has come, il
is reasonable to infer that noao the
Democracy has "Monopolists, Stal
Route Thieves and ofice-holders, tc
pay for political work, and corrupt
the ballot-box." And in view of the
experience of Hoadly in the Mullen
affair at Cincinnati, it would seem
that the Democrats are equal to the
emergency. Reverting back to the
4th paragraph we find that the Demo-
cratic desire has been already largely
gratifed in that direction. The old
Democratic times have been loafng
about here all Summer, and many a
poor Democrat has been compelled to
give, not only one day, but many
weeks, to his country Let the Re-
publican voter take suggestion from
that circular. Instead of going over
to the Democrats, try to bring a Dem
oerat over to you. Whatever you do,
vote the straight Republican ticket
from top to bottom.

It is Of no use to try to keep down
the irrepressible Jackson County
blood. 1t will take its rank before
the world-and it will be the front
rank, too. The Cincinnati Post has
been publishing sketches Of the pu-
pills who lead their classes, in the Pub
lie Schools The issue of last Satur-
day contained sketches Of Misses
Mary Isham and Florence Foraker,
with a portrait Of the latter. Miss
Isham is daughter Of DIR. Asa B.
Isham, an old Jackson County boy,
while Miss Foraker's mother is
daughter of Fl. S. Bundy.
