a Democratic Auditor for three
years at a good fat salary, and af-
ter declaring to the public in a
speech in the city hall, that, "if

The republican editors of Ohio
are determined that they won't be
pleased with anything the demo-
Gratis do, as one of our democratic
exchanges puts it. They started
IF by trying to ridicul e McBride,o
the head of the ticket, because he
is a poor working-man. Now they
are abusing Ludwig, the tail of the
ticket, because he is pretty well
heeled. They ridicule labor and
abuse capital-what do they want?

The DEMOCRAT endeavors to con-
suit the public welfare in all local

1t believes every mans conscience
should be the monitor. to control
his conduct, and proscribes no
man for differences upon moral or
political questions, nor assumes to
dictate what we shall eat, drink or
wear, believing that the great mass
of our people r capable of self
government in everything. Those
who are not, it pities-those who
are, require advice from nobody.
Democrats are liberal in every
thing, according unto all men the
largest liberty in harmony with
morality, law, order and good gov
eminent.
