THERE are great numbers of Demo
Gratis in Ohio as honest men az anybody
but their party organization has for five
years been disgraced by Doodle Bosses
and their hummer boys. There is but
one way to put an end to this state OF
things, says the Cincinnati Commercial
Gdzette-it is the utter, overwhelming
defeat of the Campbell Follett ticket. :
That is the only way.

Probably no one thing has caused such
general revival of trade at Pattersons

this very valuable article, from the fact
that it always cures and never disap-

AN OPPORTUNITY.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Why should the Democratic party in
Ohio be the property of corruptionists E?
There is not man in Ohio OF ordinary
political intelligence who does not know
that the Democratic partisan organiza-
tiOn is in the hands of such men as ap-
peared in the Bribery campaign of 1888,
the Bulldozing business of 1884, and the
Forgeries of 1855. When shall the Dem
Ocratic party be emancipated from this
infamy? Now is the occasion and the
opportunity. Let those who would de-
stroy the registration laws in Ohio be
thoroughly destroyed. That will be a
work of real reform.

81, 423, 574 less than when Hoadly and

by the people to turn the state over to
Governor Foraker and the Republican

while the rate of taxation for state pur-

REVOLT FROM CAMPBELL

Hardly is J. E Campbell in the field
till ominous murmurings are heard.
The Democrats are not satisfied with
their nominee for governor. There is a
revolt from old line Democrats. Thew
say he has never been a good Democrat.
That he has never espoused the prin-
clples for which the Democracy have
fought. That he is not sound on the
tariff. But this is not all. Honest law
abiding, respectable Democrats are be-
ginning to understand the methods by
which he was nominated Also the class
OF men which packed the convention
which nominated him. They are be-
ginning to discover the fine italian
handiwork which resulted in the selee-
ton of their candidate. They now
know that his nomination was the work
OF a crowd which was supposed to have
been relegated to the rear. That as +.
candidate he is the creature of elements
which have no use or desire for an hon.
est government or a pure administra-
ton. That to poll for him even the full
strength of the Democracy of Ohio
would be the ruin of the Democratic
organization in this state.
They are beginning to discover these
things In short time even more dis
graceful details will be before them
Campbell cannot expect honest Demo
Gratis to support him.

FOR several weeks now Democratic
newspapers have been filed with the
most outrageous falsehoods regarding
the financial condition of the state on
Ohio A few active wire pullers of a
d1sreputable turn have been endeavor-
ing to get all the newspapers in the
state to cry down the credit of Ohio and
bring the state into disrepute. This
they are attempting solely for the DUR
pose OF boosting their political friends
into office on the falsehoods which thew
expect people to believe. The fact is
that Ohio's financial condition was
never as good as at the present time
Governor Foraker on assuming control
OF the state as governor in Januarv
1886, found it bankrupt, and even the
revenues for the first year of his admin.
1stratlon had been anticipated by Gov.
ernor Hoadly and expended to meet the
extravagant appropriations and ex.
penses of the preceding year. Starting
IN with treasury worse than bankrupt.
Governor Foraker, with the aid of the
Republican Legislatures, succeeded in
getting the state finances in such a
shape that not only have all obligations
been met as they fell due, but the
annual interest charge has been reduced
to about one-fourth what it was when
Foraker assumed control; and all the
state institutions are running at less
expense than ever before. At the same
time the tax rate for state purposes has
been reduced, and Ohio now stand in
financial circles with 'A'' No. / credit
and should be spoken of by the citizens
of Ohio with pride instead of ISLANDERS
and falsehoods being circulated concern
ing her condition.
These are matters in which all citizens
OF Ohio. irrespective of party, are inter-
ested. When Ohio's credit is good. and
her financial condition excellent thew
desire this known to the world. for thev
are interested in the good name of their
state, and have no patience with those
who systematically defame.
