critical eye of Red Dog took in the singu-

rently overcome by remorse, conscience,
yituperatioe and disease; and Peg, open
mouthed, high eolorsd, awkward, yet de
lighted; and the critical eye of Red Dog
seeing this, winked meaningly at Rock

them. but all observed that one summer
day Jack drove down the main street oil

a trife shakv, held the reins with some

bouquet of yellow roses, absolutely glowed

not a pretty picture; nevertheless, as the

from the fact that it had itself once been

All, There's the Rub.
bryan Democrat |


Mr.. Boothman was good soldier, of that
there is no question, and because of that fact,
and that alone, he was nominated for Repre-
sentative in Congress. His friends urged as
a reason for his nomination that his soldier
record would appeal to the Democratic SOL
dier vote of the district, and by its aid enable
him to overcome the Democratic majority
That Democratic soldiers are sympathetic,
that they frequently vote for Republican
candidates for no other reason than comrade-
ship in the army, will not be denied. The
proofs are abundant. But, are Republican
soldiers ever similarly actuated? Do they
ever vote for Democratic candidate be-
cause of military fellowship? Has Mr..
Boothman himself ever voted for a Demo-
cratic candidate for any Office, whether that
candidate served in the army or not? Did
he vote for Gen. Rice against Ashley2 for
Gen. Ewing against Charley Foster? for
George Rings against Solier? for Judge
Perky against Bowersox? Did he ever at any
election where party lines were drawn, vote
for Democratic candidate, who had been
soldier, against a Republican candidate
whether he had been in the service or not?
We opine not, nor do we believe that Mr..
Boothman or his friends will make any such
claim for him.
Again, does anybody who knows Mr.. Booth
mans political bias believe that he would
this fall vote for Democratic soldier candi-
date for Congress, if one was in nomination,
against Judge Bowersox or Asher Cook, were
either of them running on the Republican
ticket. Is it not true that Mr.. Boothman
hopes his party may do right, but right or
wrong he votes his party ticket? How then
can he consistently ask the support of DEM
ocratic soldier voters? How can he ask
others to do unto him what he never has and
never will do unto them?

Another Reason Why the People
Should Vote the Democratic Ticket.

announcer reason why the feOpie
Should Vote the Democratic Ticket.
Since the beginning of the Forty eighth
Congress laws have been passed forfeiting
and restoring to the public domain 30, 49,, ,240
acres of land previously granted to railroad
companies and to States for railroad purpo-
ses in some new cases. All the acts provid-
ing for the forfeitures of these lands provide
expressly that they shall be restored to the
public domain and shall be held for the ben
fit of actual settlers only under the home
stead law. The territory embraced by these
forfeitures is 1888 square miles, more than
twice as large as the State of Kentucky. In
addition to this the Democratic House of
Representatives, at its last session, passed
bills forfeiting 3,843, ,09 acres, which the Sen
ate has not yet concurred in. There are also
on the calender of the House, with favorable
reports from committees, bills forfeiting 49,
067, pa acres more, which will be passed at
the next session. The area covered by all
those bills is ,408 square miles, and most
of it pretty good land. The passage of these
bills by the Republican Senate was nota mat
ter of choice with that body. Even the rail-
road corporation lawyers in that body could
not resist the moral pressure of the Demo-
cratic Administration and House upon this
question vital to the people from whom the
lands had been taken. No Republican Con-
gress has ever restored to the people any
lands taken from them and given to corpor-
ations, and Judging the party by it record
no one ever will.-ZoneSUille Signal.

- For demagogue of the first water
Foraker takes the whole bakery, as his har.
rangue, which the Republican press calls 9
speech, at Columbus the other day portrays
him. For downright Misrepresentation and
low billingsgate it is beneath the dignity of a
man occupying the high position of chief
magistrate of the State of Ohio. But what
more could be expected of man who has
the face to make sport of farmers associa-
ton, which had the kindness to extend him
an invstation to visit them. This he did in
our city after he had visited the Farmers
Fair on Thursday. We live out here in the
rural district, Mr.. Foraker, and we may be a
little uncouth and rough, but any of these
people you have insulted have more of the
principles of true politeness in their little fin

now recognized as the Governor of this great

Total stealings. ....,

Total stealings. ........- 12,S93, ,476 4s
This is only partial showing of the direct
and unmistakeable stealings of the Republi-
cans. The investigation is necessarily slow
and tedious and is. not yet completed. For
example, the investigation of the affairs in
the Sixth Auditors Office cannot be accom-
plished at present, as the annual amount in
volved is about 1S5,OOO,OOO, which require
accounts with over 65,OOO different firms
scattered throughout the country. 1t re-
quires time to investigate such affairs.
Therefore, the above figures, which are
official, do not include the stealings in the
Sixth Auditors Office, which has charge of
the vast expenditures for the Postofice De-
partment. The names of Dorsey and Brady,
and the 'Star Route" thieves, all of whom
worked" this department, may serve to
show what may be expected hereafter.
The above figures do not show the stealings
in the Third Auditors Office, which has
charge of all the expenditures of the War
Department. Here Howgate, Hodges, and
others of that ilk held full sway.
The above figures do not include the
stealings in the Fourth Auditors office, which
has charge of all expenditures for the Navy
Department (God save the markD. This is
where Robson and his gang sunk more
money for the repairing of old worthless
hulks than the ships themselves originally
cost.
The above figures are merely peep into
the books, but the work has begun and it
will be pushed forward as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit.
We haven't seen the above figures in any
of our Republican exchanges. Your Repub-
lican neighbor will not see them if he reads
his party's papers only. Call his attention
to them and ask him what he thinks about
turning the rascals out"

n It makes but little difference this
| time, politically, whether Republican or
| Democrat is elected to the House from this
| District as the Senate will certainly be Re-
| publican for the next two years and nc
measure can pass that body without their
consent. Hence, if honest and honorable
Democrats wish to get rid of Bill Hill now is
their opportunity. No better time will ever
arrive.-StgnaL.
The editor of the Signal never did lack
cheek, but the above displays more of that
| article than was ever attributed even to the
government mule. "It makes but little diff
ference whether Republican or Democrat is
elected from this district" says the Sigaal.-
Well, let US see whether that is 80 or not.
The Senate is now Republican, we admit,
but the Democrats have fair prospects OF
getting control of that body within the next
two years, which will give them control of
every department of the government. The
House is Democratic but the Republicans by
such revolutionary and unconstitutional
means as was resorted to in Ohio last winter,
and by the free use of "boodle" when they
can use it to effect, and through campaign
of lying and abuse which they have inaugu-
rated, expect to wrench it from the control
of the Democrats. Why do they wish to do
this? Because they know that the next
House of Representatives will decide the
Presidential election of 1888, should the con-
test be thrown into that body. Democrats
are not to be led off by such chaff. No good
Democrat will endanger the election of Mr.
Hill at this stage of Democratic ascendency
to power, when the loss of but one member
of Congress may cost the party the loss Of
the control of the government.
Now is the time for every Democrat to put
his shoulder to the wheel and do what he can
to keep the rascals out. In this they will be
assisted by hundreds of independent voters
who look with alarm upon the government
ever again passing into the hands of the cor
rupt gang who held sway prior to the elec.
ton of Mr.. Cleveland.
"Honest and honorable" Democrats will
not be caught in the dirty business which the
Signal proposes, but ON the contrary, will be
found not only working for the Democratic
ticket generally, but for the election of a
Democratic Congressman from the 9Th dis
trict.

That's Republican cheek for you. A Demo-
