The Republican party talk Glibly about
coal oil and m~OnOpOlies, when everybody
knows that the Republican party is the
identical party that exempted the CheSa-
peake & Ohio X. r., from the payment of
taxeS-while the Democratic party is the
party that passed the proper laws, cOmpell-
ing that railway to disgOrge, and pay up
n Nh,r-,nlz - ln11ar, Of hnal- taNnS pnI
will continue to make that monopoly con-
tribute its just proportion of the burden of
taxation, and to that extent relieve the
citizens from paying that part of h taxes,
which should be justly borne by the rail
road cOmpany.-PutRdm Democrat,
The Republicans of the Fourth Congress
| sional District, in which District a large
prohibition sentiment prevails incorporated
a 1--WE favor the submission of an amend
ment, sc. In the FiNt Congressional
District, there is y large German element
opposed to the submission of n prohibition
amendment, and behold! the Republican
platform iS as silent rs the grave
upon the subject. 1t wouldn't do to an
~tagOnize the German element of Wheeling
in the First District, but in the Fourth
District it wouldn't hurt to give the peo-
pie a little prohibition soft solder, so in 1t
goes, and this is the party that continually
pirates of its steady adherence to prin-
cipls." The truth is that the Republican
party has no principles to adhere to. 1t
is q party of deception and fraud.-P.
Pleasant Register.
Monotony Golf is the nominee of the
Republican party in n district that is dem
/ ocratic by seven hundred, and can only be
| elected BY the aid of democratic votes.
There is no reason, political or personal,
why he should receive a democratic vote in
| the district. In no sense of the word Is
| Gotta statesmen. He has been lOngenough
in public life to have made n mark,
and he has made none, except upon the
weak eyes of his wOrShipperS. We defy
any man to tell us of any measure of pub
lie utility that Golf has originated, or any
that he has supported with conspicuous
ability. He is a man of wealth, yet he
uses his wealth, directly or indirectly, to
corrupt voters and carry his election in a
district that if no Corrupt or d~ishOnorable
practices were reSorted to, would over
whelm him by defeat-Wetz9 DemOcrdf.
The hteIligeReer seems disposed to in
sist upon it hat Senator y. B. Scott is the
proper man to send again to represent the
First Senatorial District in the Legislature.
Nobody that we know of, has any Objec-
ton to the Senator except on the score of
his sentiments regarding the submission
of the prohibition amendment; and as
opinion since the last term, two years ago,
has very considerably let up on that sub
ject, or rather since it has dawned upon
the public comprehension that there is a
difference between merely submitting the
question for the people to vote upon, and
voting upon the question itself, it is barely
possible that the Senator has kept upwith
the times and is not averse to saving 50.
As the Ohio County folks have us rather
at a disadvantage, up here, in this emer-
geney, perhaps if the Senator will come
around that far, the Prohibition Republi-
cans north OfShort Creek may not be I'M
disposed also TO come around on a fair I'M
derstandizg, in which case they will give
him no half way suppOrt.-WeRsbUrg
