Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1889-09-26


Us without government.
FORAKER has collected over s5, 600, 900
from the Dow saloon tax in three years,
and over 81, 900, 900 can not be accounted
for.
THERE were SOC, 900 Democrats in Ohio
last fall. Let every one Of them be at
the polls in November and Foraker will
be beaten $4,000.
THIS is contest of the people against
the political pirates, the strangers and
Forakerism, and not between the Dem
ocrats and Republicans.
BEFORE Graham, of Warren, fed to
China he said he could tell where the
Dow tax had gone to. Where? 1t is
missing in many counties.
THE Graham who went over the Mag
ara Falls is not the late Republican
Auditor of Warren County, although
both of them were in Canada and both
had barrels.
THERE is not an honest man in Ohio
who is Foraker Democrat, and there
are thousands of honest Republicans
who do not wear Foraker colors, and who
do not believe in slavery.
WILL Benjamin Harrison kindly in
form an anxious public how much he
thinks the Ohio clerks ought, under the
present ivil-Service-Reform rules, to be
assessed?-Cincinnati Enquirer.
THE Republicans are dissatisfied with
the nomination of Campbell. They
wanted Neal. If Neal had been nomi-
mated they would have preferred Camp
bell. Some people are hard to please.
ACCORDING to an interview in the
Boston Traveller, Governor Ames is in
favor of protection as politician but
opposed to it as manufacturer. He is
not altogether singular in his position
Providence journal.
eve believe it impolitic and unwise
to present to the intelligence of Ohio
the name of any man for election to
third consecutive term to the Office of
Governor. ."-Resolution adopted by the
Fayette County Republican Convention,
June 81, 1889.
HIS enemies claim that Governor For
aker is victim of megalocephalitis.
And what is megalocephalitis. Well,
the name is derived, as every medical
student understands, from megas, big;
kephale, head; and tits, fever; and
means NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
BoILER-PLATE CAPELLER, who is run
ming Foraker's smut-mill, grabbed over
$4,000 from the treasury of Hamilton
County when auditor, and suit is now
pending to compel him to refund; but
did any one ever hear of Republican
court compelling Republican official to
give dishonest dollar back.
COLONEL JOHN c. ENTREKIN, of Ross,
ex-Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, said in speech in the Stfanglers'
Convention which forced Foraker's nom
ination, at Columbus, that if Foraker
was nominated. the Republicans lose
many close counties and the Legisla-
ture! Foraker was nominated! Entre-
kin is a prophet.
The Columbus Post has word from all
parts of the State that the Democratic
State platform and the nominations are
alike gratifyingly indorseq and COM
mended, and there is nd note of disc6Td
heard anywhere. Harmony prevails

Victory is the Watchword of every Dehn-
otfat.
IT is claimed that the Ohio election is
not to turn on the mistakes made BY Gov
ernor Foraker in Office. It would seem
that an issue might be appropriately
created in connection with him, notwith-
standing. ForakeFs character for dig
nifty and creditablepess as the repre-
sentative of an important State III the
Union is clearly involved, and Ohio is on
trial before the Nation in this aspect of
the case, if Foraker is not.-Boston
Herald.

The Cleveland Plaindealer says: Mr..
Campbell in his Batavia speech left no
doubt as to where he stands on the ques-
tion of tariff reform. He began that
part of his speech by praising the
work of President Cleveland in taking
the stand he did on tariff reform. He
took up one after another the leading
features of the Mills bill and emphati-
cally indorsed them, giving his reasons
therefor. He said he was heartily in
sympathy with the sentiment in the
tariff plank of the platform of the party
which declares that the battle for tariff
reform must be carried on, and the posi-
tion of himself and the party was COM
pactly stated in this parag graph.
The Mills bill is the product of
the best thought of the last
house. Though not perfec, it is,
however, the best measure of the kind
| Pfoposed for years. 1t does not advocate
free trade nor throw down tse barriers.
