.Y During the entire public service of W.
D. Hill in Congress, lasting through many
years, no matter what legislation was intro
duced, his vote was always recorded in the
interest of the people he represented. When
it came to question affecting their welfare,
he laid aside all political considerations and
looked solely to what would benefit the peo-
pie of his district. He has never once been
accused of voting on any public measure
contrary to his promises, or of being infu-
enced by selfish motives, or connected with
jobbery of any kind. His hands are clean.-
His record is unassailable. Those that are
displeased with his course are selfish men
who failed to influence him from the plain
path of public duty. Such assaults are not
effective. Public sentiment is getting strong
er every day in favor of men who can be de-
pended upon to perform their duties fearless
ly in the right. Mr.. Hill can well allow the
ISLANDERS of malicious enemies to go unnotic-
ed, for the people known they are actuated
by mean spirit. His opponents having
nothing against him that will bear candid
criticism, stand around with mop-stick
and bucket of mud, and imagine they are
producing arguments. But the friends OF
Mr.. Hill and the people of the district are
not in the least disturbed.

The Patent Fence Racket y

The swindling fraternity seem to look upon
the farmer as their legitimate prey and are
always concocting some new scheme by
which they can dupe him into giving up his
hard earned dollars. The latest scheme is
the "Patent Fence" racket, which is worked
as follows:
A slick, nice spoken man will call ON the
farmer and get permission to put up sec
ton of the fence on his farmer to give his
address so that it can be shipped to him.
The address turns out to be contract and
then the farmer is induced by argument, il
possible, or by threats of prosecution in the
United States Courts, or otherwise persuaded
to give his note. If the farmers would set
the big dog on men who approach them with
this and similar rackets, or take the shotgun
in hand, these fellows would soon make
themselves scarce. But these frauds will
continue as long as people have more conf
dence in, smooth tongued swindlers, than in
the law and courts and their own God-given
right of self protection. We believe that in
three cases out of five these tricks are work.
ed on men who boast that they know nothing
about the laws and do not wish to. "He that
won't hear must feel," is as true now as ever

He is a poor man, because he has been

B The Toledo Commercial lays much
stress upon the reported saving of few
thousand dollars in the Penitentiary manage
ment since the Republicans came in power.
We doubt whether there has been penny
saved, but admit there was, who paved the
way for an improvement in the management
of this penal institution but Democratic
Legislature. Radical changes were made
while Democrats were in power, which
necessitated some additional expense, but
had the Democrats been given longer lease
of time they would have saved sum ten
times as great as the patty sum reported
from Republican headquarters. The people
know the Republicans are not of the saving
order, they are extravagant. Why, under a
Democratic administration of national af-
fairs, in one year saving of over $4,000,
009 has been had, which is something worth
talking about.

were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The Ohio State Jour1tal and other
newspapers have repeatedly insinuated of
late that Hon. John Mcbride, President of
our State Association, and now the Demo
cratic candidate for Secretary of State, had
sold out or offered to sell out and betray
members of our craft during certain strikes;
and
Whereas, These insinuations are made not
to help US as miners, nor because they are
true, but for the purpose of preventing the
election of Mr.. Mcbride; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the miners of Sunday
Greek Valley, in mass-meeting assembled,
regardless of political feeling, do denounce
the Ohio State Journal and all other papers
that have made such insinuations, for their
false and cowardly attacks upon our honored
and respected President; and be it further
Resolved, That we have full confidence in
President Mcbride, and recommend him to
the people of the State of Ohio for what we
know him to be, an honest man, a faithful
hard-working official, safe and conscien-
tious adviser, true, earnest advocate of the
rights of the people, and reliable, fearless
leader.
