ocratic party.
What there is in the Democratic par.
ty outside of fraud.
Why ignorance, crime, drunkenness
and Democracy always 60 together.
When the Democracy Of the South
will respect the purity of the ballot.
box.
How much longer Democratic ballot.
box stuiling and fraud will go unpun.
ished
Why the Democratic Judges of the
Ohio Supreme Court were created with.
out consciences.
When the present Democratic Ad.
ministration will find Republican ras.
cal to turn out of office.
When the Democratic party ever did
anything to commend it to the conf.
dence of the American people
How many million dollars the pres.
ent Democratic Administration will
squander within the next three years.
How any sane man can read the rec.
ord of pro-slavery and treason made
by the Democratic party and then vote
the Democratic ticket
How much Dan Manning and his
friends will make by manipulating the
stock and grain markets while he is in
charge of the Treasury Department.
How the Democracy, after fighting
for four years to keep the colored man
in slavery, can now ask colored man
to vote the Democratic ticket.
How long the patriotic people of the
loyal North will submit to be ruled by
the frauds and acts of violence per.
petrated by the unhung traitors Of
the South.
How many innocent colored men
have been shot down in cold blood, and
robbed Of their rights of suffrage in
order to give the country its present
Democratic Administration.
How any citizen of Ohio can vote for
the party which has twice disgraced
our Supreme Court, first, by electing
Judges who set the Constitution at
naught by crawling and groveling to
the saloon interest, and secondly, by
setting all law and decency at defiance
in pandering to the criminal classes Of
Cincinnati.
How patriotic, Union-loving citi-
zen can vote for party which declared
the war failure within few months
of the surrender of Appomattox, which
| denounced Union soldiers as Lincoln
dogs and hirelings, which traduced and
illuminated Lincoln, Grant and Gar
field, and OPPOSED every important pub
/ lie act undertaken by those great men.
Why the present Democratic Admin
istration boasts Of economy and at the
Same time asks for larger appropria-
tions than the preceding Republican
administration. Secretary Whitney
asks for SS5 200, 600 which is S14,S00,-
600 more than his predecessor. The Sec
retary of War demands $40 900, 900, an
excess of Sl7,000,000 over the require
ments OF his predecessor.
Why any Northern State should vote
for the party which depends for sue
cess almost wholly upon acts of fraud
and violence committed by the men
who tried to destroy the Nation and
who inaugurated war WHICH cost the
country nearly five billion dollars and
resulted in the staying of over three
hundred thousand brave and loyal
Union men from the North.
How an organized appetite for po-
litical plunder, which has been on the
wrong side of every great question
during the last twenty-five years, which
is made up of ex-Confederate rebels,
which holds in its ranks all the whisky
soaked bummers and the worst classes
of the country, which has encountered
the opposition of all the greatest and
best men this country has produced in
the last quarter of u century, should
have any following among the intelli-
gent people Of the North. Cleveiand
