The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1886-10-30


John Francis the O. p. convict
who has testified to Democrats be-
ing concerned in the tally sheet
forgerles, was taken from the pen
to the Court House at Columbus
Tuesday and while there made his
escape being recaptured at 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning. From the
Columbus Times we learn that:
Yesterday morning, Francis OBJ
tanned private interview with
Michael Cassidy, an exguard to
whom he made tho following
statement: 81 wish you would go
into the court room and say to
Deputy Warden Marriott that 1 was
treated well under the Peetrey adj
ministration and L will not again
commit perjury to injure him. Say
to him that I know this whole
thing is conspiracy, without any
foundation in truth and if I am
placed upon the witness stand l
will explode everything" Francis
made substantial lily the same state
ment to another eX-guard, Abner
Doolittle." 1t looks very much as
if Foraker's henchmen had an
elephant on their hands that they
desire to be rid of.

Wages in the South.

The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times
is entitled to the credit of proving
that when Mr.. Blaine tells the
workingmen of Pittsburg that their
labor is brought in competition
with that of negroes "in Birming-
ham, Ala, Chattanooga, Tenn, and
various parts of Virginia, where
they are making pig-iron at wages
of from go to 20 cents day." and
when the New York Tribune bril-
liantly asserts that the colored la-
borer "gets over 100 per cent less
wages than is paid in the north for
similar work." they don't know
what they are talking about. Our
Chattanooga contemporary, after
investigating the subject in that
locality, says: "The lowest wages
paid to colored laborers in any in
dustry is 80 cents day, and this
covers only a few at the South Tre-
degar works. The greater number
of colored men employed at these
works receive wages running from
50 to $3 a day, with large number
at the intermediate rates of $1.25 to
$3.50 a day. Colored laborers at the
Chattanooga furnace get $1.25 and
$3.50 and 50 a day. COlored boys
in the South Tredegar works, work
ing as feeders, get IS cents to $1.25
"a day. Some colored men make as
high as "a a day as puddlers and
foundrymen."
Mr.. Blaine and the Tribune are
guilty, therefore, of deliberate and
wiliful misrepresentation in their
reprehensible attempt to infiame
northern working people against
the south, and the falsehood has
been exposed sooner than they eX-
pected. Pittsburg and Chattanoo-
ga are several hundred miles apart,
but Mr.. Blaine evidently forgot
that there is telegraph between
them.

A Political Ghost.

When the ordinary citizen is con-
sidering to which of the party can
didates he shall give his support
he necessarily considers what are
the assumed positions of the vari-
GUS claimants for his favor.
The honest, thoughtful man cam
not help but be impressed with the
charnel house surroundings of the
Republican party, and it's ghostly
claims for for recognition. When
asked what policy does the Repub-
Leans advocate to induce the well
meaning citizen to follow it's
fortunes and rally under its
banner, its continual and agoniz-
ing cry is, "Oh, we fought the war,
if it had not been for us we
would have no government"
Suppose the foregoing claim is
true, as it is not, (for the records
show that more Democrats held
position in the ranks in the iate
war and bore the burden of, and
barred the bosome in the conflict
than there were Republicans,) the
thoughtful man is confronted with
the fact that the old Republican
party is past. Where are the old
leaders? ? Lincoln, Seward, Stevens,
ColfaX, Chase and host of others
are sleeping their dreamless sleep,
and the party of to-day is as differ
ent from the party of quarter OF
IA century ago as is the light and
heat of the unobstructed MONDAY
sun from the pale cheerless rays OF
II crescent moon. Then their lead
ers were controlled by honesty OF
purpose and an open advocacy OF
principte,
Now dishonesty and prevarica-
ton characterizes their leaders
from little j. Breeches Foraker and
w. S. Patent Plates, to the least
6XS ward politician. With the
leaders, the open consort of the
worst class of criminals, whom the
laws Of the land has excluded from
society, and making overtures,
concessions and bargains with mur,
derers and horse thieves for lying
atlidavits against men more honest
than the self same leaders; with
the private Secretary Of the Gov
ernor and the stenographic clerk Of
his office, making frequent visits to

The New College Paper.

We are in receipt of the first
number of the College Current, an
interesting monthly, issued from
the Ohio University, and devoted
to college interests and education
al matters generally. 1t is a
sprightly paper OF sixteen square
octave pages, filed with interest
ing matter. The present number
contains portrait of w. III. Nc
Guffy, together with sketch of
his life: We are pleased to note,
for the honor Of Hooking County
that A. Leonard occupies the posi-
ton OF Literary Editor. The paper
will be issued during the "college
year" for 81. in advance.

Put q Mu2Zin on Him.

ONE enthusiastic Republican
paper declares that Mr.. Blaine's
visit to Pennsylvania has been
worth 10000 votes to Beaver. The
managers thought that Mr.. Blaine's
visit to- New York state in 1884
would be worth 10000 votes. They
brought him in, but Belshazzar's
Feast and Burchard were not
counted on and Mr.. Blaine lost the
Presidency. Blaine is provoker
of enthusiasm, but he is q danger
Gus man to lead about the country.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1886-10-30

The temporary chairman, in maxi
ing his opening speech, declared
in favor of providing remedies for
the abuses of the liquor traffic. He
also expressed the hope that the
convention would emphatically
and unequivocally declare itself as
opposed to the slum and dive, and
as ready to join hands with any
one If necessary to get rid of such
parasites. Another speaker said
"eliminate the evils as far as possi-
bic, and let the business alone."
Whatever may be thought of this
method of dealing with the ques-
tion it is certainly significant as
showing that low saloons and bru-
tai debuchery and drunkenness
must go, being under the condem-
nation of popular opinion and not
even defended but denounced by
those engaged in the liquor traffic.
The man who is an habitual drunk
ard is not respected, and is shun-
ned even by moderate drinkers. 81
cannot bear to talk to a drunken
man." is common expression even
among men who, themselves drink,
and in the growth of this sentiment
is the surest and most potent power
against the evils of intoxication, a
remedy more powerful by far than
any or all political prohibition that
can be practiced or preached.

READ CAREFULLY.
Look Out for Spurious Tickets.

1t is an old trick with the Repub-
leans to have Democratic tickets
with some names erased and others
inserted. Let every Democrat read
the whole ticket through carefully
and see that there are no scratches
or erasures on it and vote the
whole ticket.
The Democratic party is now be-
fore the people, and by their votes
on Tuesday will it be judged. The
whole effort of the Administration
has been to curtail the expenses
and tighten the burdens of the citi-
zens. If you believe this is true
economy and honest administration
vote the Democratic ticket.

The unmanly and mean efforts of
Republican managers, headed by
their shyster Governor, Foraker, to
traduce the Democracy by whole
sale lying and iniquity, should
stimulate every Democrat to Wig
orous action, this fall, and to resent
these villainous attacks, by oppos-
ing to man every Repu blican
candidate. r
Gov. Foraker now goes by the
name of skin-cane. 1t will hang to
him as long as, he lives. How a
man can make u fool of himself
when he tries, and thereby cut
short his political career. Foraker
is politically dead. Even Republ-
leans are ashamed of him and will
not ask his denomination for Gov
ernOr.

WE should suppose that Mr..
Blaine had pretty good personal
reasons for realizing that the Re
publican party is not in power.
But, probably from the force Of
habit, he goes right on claiming for
his party credit for the fact that
"the Government bonds are worth
nearly 1907 and that the Treasury
is strong. The business men of the
country realize, if Mr.. Blaine does
not, that for three years the DEM
ocrats have had CONTROL Of Con-
gress and for year and a half of
the Executive Department. And
they will profit by the return of
business prosperity rs much as the
Republicans lost by its prolonged
absence.

DEMOCRATS, it is now time to be
up and doing. Your opponents are
wide awake and are working every
conceivable scheme to beat some of
the nominees on the Democratic
ticket. There is no lie too big for
them to tell if thereby they think
they can make a break in the DEM
ocratic ranks. Don't be deceived
by any story you hear for there is
not man on the Democratic tick
ct but that is honest and capable of
filling the Office to which he as
pires.
