~ The TRADE which the Republican heel
ers of Napoleon have been making upon
Capt. Randall and Private Jones during the
past week, because of their names being
sentin for ostmaster of this city, tells the
extent to which the Republican love for the
old soldier goes. The love is only deep
enough 80 long as these heelers can fool the
old soldier into voting as they dictate, and
taking what crumbs they may throw to
them. But let one ask for that which they
do not extend and the fury of hades is calm
in comparison to the storm which the old
soldier finds raging about him. He is not
only torn to pieces politically, but even his
private character; is assailed, and epithets
given him which he never dreamed to be laid
at his door. Shame on the gang! But how
long is the soldier going to allow himself to
be fooled by these fellows in their protesta-
tions of love for himp Can't he see he
is soldier only SO long as he votes the R Re-
publican ticket in the eyes and estimation of
these fellows, most of whom we're probably
unborn when the war of the rebellion was
fought, or if any were old enough to defend
their ountry by bearing arms, ten to one
they skulked and were numbered with the
stay ay-at-homes. Don't be make dupes OF, old

c9 State Journal: The difference between
the Republican and Democratic parties
the difference between free trade and pro-
tection-is this: The Republicans hold that
it is the dutie of the government to give
Americans the preference over foreigners and
aliens. Democratic free traders take the op-
posite view. Choose ye.
Neither party has asked or proposed an
abandonment of custom house charges
there is, therefore, no free trade party. The
Republicans favor a tariff system which
taxes the many to make millionaires and
mopopolists of the few. The Democrats
favor tariff system that will raise necessary
revenue for the support of the government,
but oppose any plan that increases the taxes
of one citizen merely to increase the profits
of another citizen. "Choose ye. &c Columbus

tRWhy did expert (P) Webster keep si-
lent regarding the Irregularities of "Inter-
liner g eorge," after admitting that they ex-
listed and that they would include part of the
report of his examination? The whyfore is
very plain. Webster's mission here was not
for that purpose was to shield Russell in
stead of exposing him; and he carried out
the programme laid down by the Republican
gang-a gang of political tricksters which is
a disgrace to any community. Their tricks
are all dark and damnable, similar to their
treatment of Ex-Recorder Hartnett, in whose
case their willing tool has been compelled to
retract, or see the inside of prison! Our
prisons stand wide open for all such fellows
as compose the gang.

A Corrupted Census.

Nobody doubts that census figures will be
made to lie, deliberately and with malice
aforethought, in whatever manner may be
deemed best calculated to strengthen the
Republican party. This IS grave offense
against the sanctity of United States statis-
tics but the Republicans are desperate, un-
scrupulous and will hesitate at nothing which
promises them advantage. But just how to
manipulate the census returns to best secure
the end aimed ut has cost the leaders much
pains to determine. At first it was thought
that the population of the south should be re-
duced and thus lessen the number of Demo-
cratic Representatives in Congress. A plan
was set on foot to have large numbers of
negroes conceal themselves from the enum-
orators. But when the federal elections bills
were devised the policy was changed and now
the scheme is to swell the southern popula-
tion so as to considerably increase the House
membership from that section, the admins
tration being depended on to coerce the
election Of as many Republicans as possible.
This is the secret of the. restoration of the
bloody shirts as the Republican standard. the
beginning Of prosecution of southern Demo-
c-ats In Florida, the journeying of visiting
statesmen" to Arkansas and the rehabili-
tation Of the outrage mills. The national
Republican committee has been called to
meet soon TO discuss the manipulation of the
census and determine which plan promises
most for the party.-Pldin Dealer.

sB-The postoffice situation still remains
muddled and troubled. As we surmised
Capt. Randall was only seeking vindication.
He got it by being recommended as post
master, but declined the position, liking his
new occupation of timber inspector better.
Congressman Boothman thereupon immedi-
ately sent the President the name of D. M.
Jones. This but added fuel to the Republi.
can situation, and if there were wailing and
gnashing of teeth before, the announcement
came near turning the Republican gang into
wild beasts. Immediately they commenced
TRADE upon Mr.. Jones, overwhelming Con-
gresham Boothman and Senator Sherman
with their protests, by telegraph and by mail,
denouncing Mr.. Jones in language which
would not look well in print. They
even went so far as to accuse him of being a
Democrat, and much preferred the present
po ostmaster to Mr.. Jones! His confirmation
still hangs fire in the Senate, but he will
likely be confirmed this week, as it is not
likely John Sherman will antagonize Mr..
Boothman in his r recommendation.

A Tardy Retraction-How the Signal
Eats crow


In justice to Mr.. Daniel Hartnett, to whom
we have heretofore done a great wrong, in
charging in our issue of October. 9th, 1887,
that he was instrumental in bringing James
Fouke, better known as Jim Fouke, from
Toledo for the purpose of getting him to
make false affidavit concerning certain
things the editor of this paper said in the
city of Toledo, we now wish to announce
that we have fully investigated said charge
and are fully satisfied that Jim Fouke mis-
represented the facts to us at that time.
The article referred to accused Mr..
Hartnett of hiring the said
Jim Fouke to come to Napoleon and
make affidavit that the editor of this paper
had told him (Fouke) that $500 would buy
enough Dutch votes to defeat Mr.. Hartnett,
for which the latter was to pay Jim Fouke $50.
DESTROYS of correcting so far as we are now
able any injustice that may have been done
Mr.. Hartnett by the publication of said
charges, we made inquiry and found them to
be untrue. This statement Is made without
solicitation on the part of Daniel Hartnett,
but in justice to him.

EF-we surreuder much Of Our space this

FWe surrender muoh Of our space this
week in order TO give our readers the full re-
port OF the examination Of The Auditors and
Treasursr's Offices By Mr.. Webster. There is
ostensibly nothing new in the report, as IL Is
simply rehash Of the Republican gang
Russell TRADE which has appeared in the
Signal from time 10 time for the past two
years. The long rambling report is over the
signature of Mr.. Webster, bu. "Interliner
George" crops cut in almost every line, and
his ear marks are fully disernable by any one
familiar with our politics for the past few
years. 1t also smacks much of being Rus
sell campaign document (for which the
county pays) as he gets in a puff for him
self periodically all though the report. The
report also shows that the NoRTHwEsr's pre-
dictions have proven true, as no money has
been proven stolen, and instead Of the mon
ey in the treasury being unaccounted for.
surplus has invariably been shown by every
examination. Because our officials did not
do business according to the ideas of Web
ster Russell is not saying they are and have
been thieves. "Interliner George" does
business little queer, andhe is full of ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain, yet we
would not charge that he deliberately stole
from the county. But had Mr.. Webster re-
ported the irregularities which exist under
Russell's administration of the auditors
Office, as he said he would do, the compari-
son would have shown two to one if favor of
his predecessor. We will have much to say
of this campaign document from time to
time, as we are interested in it as tax-pay-
ey, and as it has been so expensive luxury
to the county.

Ex-senator Beck, of Kentucky, dropped
dead suddenly in railroad depot at Wash
ington on the I'd. He had just returned from
New York, accompanied by his daughter.
Paralysis of the heart was the cause of death.
Senator Beck was born in Scotland, Feb. 13,
1922, and coming to this country as a youth,
graduated in law at Transylvania Univer-
sity, Lexington, KY, in 1916. He practiced
law in Kentucky for many years and held no
Office until he was elected to Congress in
1869. He remained member of the House
of Representatives for eight years, when he
was elected to the Senate. He took his seat
in the Senate March 5, 1877, and he was
twice reelected. - e-

Bounty ON Sugar.

Why not bounty on wheat, or on
other articles of farm produce, which
can't be sold at living prices?
Why this special discrimination in
favor of the owners ofsugar plantati ms
in Louisiana, or sorghum raisers in
Kansas?
Cheap sugar is much to be desired,
but why pay out of the public treasury
money that has been put there by tax
ing all the people for the exclusive ben
eft of the sugar planter? If this is the
right thing to do, why not doit more?
We don't understand it to be any
part of the business of the Government
to offer inducements in the way of
money for men to produce sugar in
stead Of something else. If sugar then
why not tea, for 1t is known that plenty
of tea can be produced In this country?
But we can't well afford to produce tea
in competition with nation Of sew
eral hundred millions of people
who have been growing tea for centur-
les, and where labor can be had at tea
culture at few cents q day. 2f't"
It wouldn't be very good economy to
encourage "home industry" of tea rails
ing by making up the difference be-
tween Chinese and American labor In
a bounty on tea.
Then why on sugar? "a

Why Should Quay Resign?

The suggestion that Senator Quay
may be asked to resign from the Re-
publican national committee indicates
gross misconception of the views and
purposes which actuate the managers
Of the party machine. The charges
which have been made against Senator
Quay, and which by his silence he ad-
mits, do not disqualify him for serving
the machine. On the contrary they
commend him to the managers as emf
nently the kind Of man they want.
They indicate his possession ofjust the
kind of talent the machine needs. If
Mr.. Quay were accused of having con-
Quoted public office with scrupulous
regard for the public interest, of ac-
counting scrupulously for every dollar
of the money committed to his charge,
in word of honesty and fidelity, the
managers Of the machine might well
distrust him. But to distFust him be-
cause he is only charged with embez-
element would be to fly In the face of
all the party precedents and and to es-
tablish an entirely new qualification
for high place in the party councils. 1t
would be like Fagin refusing to take
the Artful Dodger as a pupil in his
thieves academy because he was accus-
ed of stealing.
1t is by no means certain, moreover,
that the mass of the Republican party
would approve any falling out with
Quay on such grounds. 1t is true that
his reputation is little "high," but
there is some reason to suspect that the
party likes such regulations in its lead
ers and managers. Mr.. Blaine was
never so popular with his party as he
was Immediately after the Mulligan ep-
isode which tainted his reputation SO
badly. 1t is queer that it should be 80.
The rank and file Of the party is prob
ably honest in its daily life and ap-
proves ofhonesty in those with whomit
comes in business contact. But 1t seems
to have well defined idea that the busi-
ness of the party stands on an entirely
different footing and cannot be carried
on without strong profusion of ras-
cality.
And really, when one considers the
manner in which the Republican par
ty business has been carried on and the
party suceesses-so called--won, it is
not remarkable that the rank and file
should have imbibed that impression.
When they see the high honors of party
management carried off by the Quays
and Dudleys, what can they conclude
but that rascality is a prime qualifica-
tion for bringing the Republican party
to the front?-D Detroit Free Press.

B-The second act in the Poe-R Russell
farce-outrage-is now being paraded before
the public, in the way of sending out from
Columbus lying reports regarding this coun-
ty and some of its citizens. These dispatches
are sent to the daily papers Of the country by
Republican heelers, in the interest of the COR
rupt Republican party m achine. Their con-
tentents are outrageous and ludicrous in the
extreme, and are so understood by those con-
yersant with the facts, but they mislead the
mass of the people, which is the intention Of
the political rascals. The contents Of these
dispatches are libelous, and it is possible
