has done excellent service for the whole
ticket, from Secretary Of State down to
Infirmary Director. 1t is safe to say
that Mr.. Browns majority will be well
up towards the top when the votes are
canvassed.
The candidate for Auditor, Mr.. Jacob
Resh, is thorough gentleman, neither
does he lack that vim which is charac-
teristic of every good Democrat. His
work is being done honorably, and no
man can accuse him Of malignlng his
opponent. There is honor in politics,
and Mr.. Resh's campaign is Ia fair exem-
plification of this. The farmers all
speak we'll of him. In some districts
where the oily, Shiny tongue Of Oliver
Cromwell (?) alias George Russell had
gained o purchase Immediately after the
Webster boomerang, it can he easily
seen that his temporary foothold has
played its possessor false, and has evan
ished. The farmer has followed the ad-
monitions Of the NORTHWEST, and
given this report careful study with
the result that we predicted, viz: That
to a man who understands the funda-
mental principles of mathematics and
has the most superficial knowledge of
rhetoric, 1t appears at once in its true
light-a scheme conceived and promul-
gated for no other purpose than to en-
nance the possibilities of George Rus
SELLS reelection. II was document to
be submitted by radical Republican
with all covert moves compatible with
consistency incorporated that would
tend to deal the grand old Democracy
of Henry county death dealing blow.
But Mr.. Webster was too eager to i'm
plant this blow-he wished to bring his
most desperate points into requisitioD,
knowing full well the strong character
and loyalty to party prir ,iples OF his
foe. Every true Democrat in Henry
county has awakened by such an exhi-
bition of unparalled partisan hate and
penetrate Georges shallow scheme.

The Republican executive committee
has spread throughout the X. of L. Or
ganizatiOns that Mr.. Decker, Democrat
ic candidate for Sheriff, is not true
knight Of labor-that he has made the
assertion that he cared not for the la
boring class but wanted Democratic
votes. Such small lies will be received
with contempt by all members of the X.
OIL, especially those who know him
as the ardent laborer in behalf of the
lodge that he is. There is no member
who has better standing in the home
organization than he, and 1t is by this
that foreign lodges are to judge-not by
few contemplate lies sprung by q dis
tracted committee here in Napoleon,
every one ofwhom think it disgrace
to touch their soft hands to manual Ia
Dor.

AS has before been said, this execu-
tive committee has a very poor knOwl-
edge ofthe sagacity of the laboring man
and farmer. 1t is on account of this
that such foolish stories as the above
concerning Mr.. Decker are circulated
with the expectation of being received
with open arms inasmuch as they
emanate from such an aristocratic
source as Is this same executive com.
mittee! But common schools have
been in vogue for over hundfe1
wears which seems to have been over
looked here. Neither farmers nor the la
boring class are 80 verdant as this ex-
ecutive committee presupposes, and
which the 4th of November will see pro-
ven.

All over the county is distinguished
among the Democrats an aggressive
spirit--a wish to meet the enemy in
November and in hand to hand con-
fiict prove that the Democrats are in
the ascendency and intend to remain
so. Democrats realize that mighty

No commissioner ever took his seat
and remained there during q ditch
hearing but what some fault was
found with his decisions and thereby
personal grievances laid up against
him. Andrew Saygers is man who
is a victim of his convictions. Ii he
believes q thing to be right he will
stand firm though hurtful to himself.
Such men should constitute board of
county commissioners-they act from
the dictations oftheir own conscience
and the evidence produced. Not one
word can be said derogatory to his eff
ficiency in the Office he now holds. and
is up for reelection. Therefore, good
Democrats, sacrifice not good official
to accommodate friend who has some
personal pique because Mr.. Saygers
from an unbiased standpoint did not
think as he thought relative to some
ditch matter. Andy is gentleman
and worthy of your support.
Sunday was day made decidedly un-
holy by conclave held here in which,
the Defiance Cypress gang, of Defiance,
the Fulton county executive commit
tee headed by Ham, Shem and Japeth,
and the Republican executive commit
tee, of Henry, all took part. The theme
was the rotten condition In which
Brigham has plunged congressional
politics. Several plans were suggested
and discussed as q means of extrica-
tion from the mire and muck compos-
ing the surroundings. Brigham was
telegraphed and his skyrocket form
