GROVER CLEVELAND is the first Pres
ident who has advertised himself COM
mon liar, and at the same time presumed
that all the people are fools. From his
letter of acceptance, printed in this issue,
we quote:
m A generous regard and care for our surviving
soldiers and sailors and for the widows and Or
phans of such as have died; (2) protection against
servile immigration, which injuriously eompeteS
with our labOring in the field OF toll, and adds
to our population element ignorant OF our lnStl-
tutiOns and laws, impossible of assimilation with
our people and dangerous TO our peace and welfare
CsI a strict and steadfast adherence TO the prnei-
ples of civil service reform and a thorough excel
tion of the laws passed for their enforcement; "a
the guaranty to our coOred citizens of their rights
of citizenship and their just recognition and en-
couragement in all things pertaining to that rell-
ton.
|. Is there a man who has read the veto
messages of Mr.. Cleveland who does not
know this declaration is transparent,
bald falsehood? that Mr.. Cleveland has
sneered at the claims of dependent sol
diers of the Union? and that the great
body of the Democrats in either house of
Congress are men who were opposed to
defending the country against Demo-
cratic rebellion? They represent States,
mainly, which were engaged in rebellion,
and the assertion that they are concern
ed about the welfare of the eX-soldiers of
the Union is a piece of colossal brass that
no one but Cleveland could be guilty of.
II. The Democratic party filled the
South with servile laborerS, and, because
the North would not agree that they
should be spread over the free territories
of the West, went to war. After the war
they advocated the shipment of Chinese
coolies, to work in their cotton and rice
= fields.
III. The pretense of civil service re-
form set up by Mr.. Cleveland is shall
low fraud, and all the people know it
A Mugwump Postmaster for New York
is deemed great exhibition of virtue,
and under cover of that the offices have
been debased and prostituted as they
have not been before within this genera
ton.
". This stupendous lie would put to
shame the smallest politician in the land.
Does not Grover Cleveland know that
Henry Watterson, who was chairman OF
the platform committee of the COnven-
ton that renominated him, admits that
the coIored voters of the South are not
permitted to vote? Does he not know
that votes of Congress districts of Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Caro-
lima. show conclusively that the colered
vote is suppressed in all those States?
The discussion of the tariff is simply
rehash of the Message of last December.
We print this wonderful letter in full,
and hope no one under whose eye it may
fall will fail to read it. 1t carries with
it its own antidote.

THE DOODLE BUSINESS.

Ohio State Journal.
While Cal Brice and Mr.. Townsend
are talking about an intellectual cam
paign" and other peculiar turns, and in
every instance lodging the real issues
before the people, it is evident that they
are depending solely upon the use of
DOODLE Their circular letters are all
calls for money, and in order to scare
the oficeholders and others into con-
tributing they are resorting to the most
fragrant libels upon their opponents.
The men who are crying Doodle and all
that, are the ones who are using it and
who are collecting an immense corrup-
tion fund for the purpose ofpurchasing
votes in doubtful States. 1t is nece5sa-
ry only to refer to the following letters
to Ohio postmasters which have just
been sent out from the Democratic head
quarters in this city, and which are
disgrace to any party:
COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 4, 1888.
DEAR SIR-The outlook in Ohio at
this time is quite bright and in order to
keep the campaign in this condition we
must spend considerable money On tariff
literature The demand is enormous
and must be supplied, but we are hamp-
cred by depleted treasury. Remember
we have no mOnOpoliSts to 'fry fat
from, no manufacturers who receive al
most the sole benefit of the tariff" to
aid us, hence must depend on the en-
thusiasm of the rank and file of the par
ty and officeholders. We desire a list of
Democrats getting mail at your office
who may be induced to contribute from
one ($1) to five (S5) dollars. Send the
names of all such getting mail at your
office with the amount we should ask
them to contribute, and don't fail to at
tend to this at once Yours truly.
JAMES b. TOWNSEND, Chm.
GEORGE A. BATEsON, Sec'y.
COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 6, 1888.
DEAR SIR-On recent trip East we
were impressed with the necessity of
making the campaign in Ohio so hot
that it will keep Republicans out of In
diana. The latest is that they have
commenced the colonization of the float
ing vote of Ohio in Indiana.
We desire to prevent this fraud on the
ballot 1t will require the expenditure
of large sum. Comparatively speak
ing, we have no means; therefore, we are
forced to appeal to your generosity. |
Anxiously awaiting your earliest re-
sponse, am, very truly yours,
JAMES b. TOWNSEND, Chm.
GEORGE b. BATEsON, Sec'y.

EXTRAORDINARY efforts were made
by the administration party TO reduce the
Republican majority at the election in
Maine on Monday. Money was shovel
ed into the State, all the influence and
power of the national offices exerted to
an extraordinary extent by an admins
tration making great professions of civil
service reform, and every known method
used to accomplish that end. The Re-
publicans made a square fight for Pro-
lection. That was the issue in every Con-
gress district. 1t was advocated in all
the towns of the State. The result is the
heaviest Republican majority at State
election in twenty-five years, estimated
at 10000, a united delegation in the low
er house of Congress, and Legislature
almost unanimously Republican.
The man who fails to see the Signiti-
cance of the elections held thus far this
year is stupid, indeed. Three States have
voted, one after another piling up great
Iy increased Republican majorities. Ex-
anime the figures, compared with the last
onnoraJ alaa}inn.

1t is safe to say that Colonel Sullivan
did more for the development OF this
county than any man who ever lived
within its borders He was man OF re-
fined tastes, and, throwing off the cares
of business. was the most charming of
men. Possessed of wonderful converse
tionaI powers. OF wide and varied infOr-
nation upon all subjects that interest ed
ucated and cultivated people, quiet and
unobtrusive in his manners, it was a de-
light and a constant surprise TO listen to
him.
Colonel Sullivan was born in St Clairs-
vile. on the lot now occupied by the Jep-
son block of buildings, in 1903.

1t is said by a free trade contempora-
ry that a good suit of clothes can be
bought in Ireland for So Sc. That may
be true, but we have heard no one fool
ish enough to call Ireland prosperous or
her population happy simply because
English free trade has made clothes
cheap at the expense of all of Ireland's
industries.

In September, 1884, when, because of
the fact that Mr.. Blaine headed the ma
tional ticket, the Republicans made a
supreme effort, Governor Robie received
1896 plurality-1,O00 or more less than
this year.
These things are significant. They in
dicate victory for the Republicans in
every Northern State, and that the Cleve-
land party will be hard pressed in the
two Virginias- which are not in sympa-
thy with the doctrines of the administra-
tion-if, indeed, they are not won by the
Republicans.

THE death of Colonel John h. Sullivan
deserves more than passing notice.
Thirty-five years ago he was command
ing figure in the affairs of Eastern Ohio,
and until about dozen years ago was a
foremost man in everything relating to
the prosperity and development of this
county, with which he became closely
identified about 1S54-5. The building
of the Central Ohio Railroad from Co.
lumbus to BeIlaire was the greatest
achievement of his busy life, and is a
monument to his courage, ability, and
tact. When the work of construction
reached Cambridge the company was al
most hopelessly bankrupt, and at Barnes
vile was met with a mountain of diff
culties that would have staggered and
crushed any ordinary man. Twenty
seven miles remained to be built. The
engineering difficulties were very great,
and the company was literally beggar
in the money markets. These things
combined made that part of the road cost
an average of 100000 per mile. The sa-
gaeious President, with General George
b. Wright and Judge John Welsh, pur-
chased the Harris farm, upon which Bell
aire was laid out, and in that way saved
himself from utter financial ruin and be-
came in a measure wealthy.
Colonel Sullivan, likewise, originated
the Bellaire and Southwestern Railroad,
and to his genius and daring Bellaire is
largely indebted for that important road.

San Francisco Chronicle.
We shall not be suspected of any un-
due political enthusiasm if we say that
the probabilities are very strong that
the Republicans will carry Ohio at the
coming election, even though Mr.. Thur
man is a resident of Columbus. Con-
gresham Lawler, of Illinois, a short
time ago jntimated that he thought Ohio
would possibly go Democratic, but the
latest advices are that the only question
is whether the Republican majority will
be 10000 or $4,000, with the chances in
favor of the latter.
Ohio has demonstrated before this
year that she does not believe in free
wool. When Congress in 1888 reduced
the duty on wool the Democratic Con-
vention of the very next year denounced
the reduction as an outrage upon the
farmers of Ohio, and with such effect as
to produce very marked reduction in
Republican majorities. Now that the
Democratic House has sought to take
the duty off entirely, it is reasonable to
suppose that it will turn the tide the
other way, for if the farmers did not
want low tariff on wool in 1884, they
certainly will not be enthusiastic over
free wool in 1888.
The Republicans now have fifteen
Congressman out of twenty-one, and it
is confidently asserted that they will
gain two at the coming election, and
possibly five. If that sort of thing goes
on the next Congress will be Republican
beyond a peradventure, and then there
will be chance to revise the tariff intel
ligently and wisely; but it will not be
done by trying to ruin such important
domestic industries as the wool interest.
