The Office Of Coroner is frequently
looked upon as Of little importance. AS
to salary this is true, but when the su-
premacy of the party il taken into con.
sideration, it does become important,
and further when man OF good stand.
ing like DR.. McNulty accepts such a

every Republican voter should stand by
the candidate for Coroner as firmly as
they do by the candidate for Governor.

The election this year involves more
than mere party supremacy. The purity
of elections is involved in this campaign.
This should not be the case, but it has
been forced into the issue by the Demo.
cratic candidate for Governor, James E.
Campbell. Campbell has declared
against the registration laws, not be.
cause they work injustice, but because
he feels inconvenience by them. Is a
man who considers his personal convent
ence of greater importance than honest
elections in his Commonwealth, fit to sit
as Chief Executive OF that community +?
Verify, no; and the voters of Ohio will
see to it that Jimmy Campbell shall not
be intrusted with any such power. His
henchmen may make patent ballot
boxes and Jimmy may try to sell them,
but the people may be trusted in pre-
venting both Jimmy and his henchmen
from controlling things, 80 that ballot.
boxes may never be stuffed again in
Ohio. Vote for Foraker and pure cleo
tions.
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1889-10-24

The time draws near for the Repub-
licans Of Highland county to make their
choice as to the men who shall serve
the people, both in the county and
State. Work should not cease until the
closing Of the polls on the day of the
election. Highland county's son, ]. B.
Foraker, for Governor, should receive a
larger majority in this county than he
ever received before. This can be
done but it can only be done by hard
work. Highland county shoSld honor
the man who is an honor to the county,
State and nation. Let it be done, and
while at that pleasant and important
work, see that every man on the county
ticket (including ID. M. Massie) from
Auditor down, receives the full strength
Of his party.

Will not some friend OF Ohio stop

self believe-if no one else does believe

condition; that there was no bravery
manifested or even necessary in the ride
Foraker took for the relief of Slocum and
for which bravery Gen. Sherman paid
Foraker such glowing tribute The
startling thought now comes, what If
Gen. Beatty, with his supreme knowl-
edge and logic, should undertake TO
prove that there never was a march
"From Atlanta to the Sea-" and that
Foraker was not there, in fact that there
never was Foraker. May we be de-

Senator Sherman's only fear is that

tolerate any defiance Of law )" and again,
"No Ohio soldier shall remain in poor

cry as soldier, as an official and as a

Foraker is to be admired, and to prop
erly admire one is to support such an one.

We insist that it is justice to the man

remarkable ability as an accountant, his

his sterling integrity as a man and Ito
