TBE attention OF the postofiice de
partment at Washington is TO be
called to the shameful CONDUCT Of the
present postmaster, in absenting him.
self from his official duties to attend
to outside matters, and especially
running over the county to attend
republican conventions and political
gatherings. Such actions are clearly
in violation of the postofiice rules,
and in themselvesare sufficient to cost
Mr.. Russell his official head. Bnt, out
side of this violation of rules, his con.
tinued absence from his official duties
entails hardships and responsibilities
upon his patient and efficient lady
deputy, which is taxing her far above
her strength, especially so for the
small pittance she receives. This
should not be, and such actions un.
der a Democratic administration
ought not to be tolerated, therefore,
the resignation of postmaster Russell
should be asked for at once, and he
should not stand upon the order OF
his going, either.

THE editor of the Signal, the ex-
reform( ?? Republican County Auditor,
drew in clean cash from the Henry
county treasury during his three years
of misrule of the Auditors office, the
sum of OVER TWELVET THOUSAND
DOLLARS! Or sum equal to as
much as is drawn by all three of the
County Commissioners for like mum
ber of years. Then, too, Mr.. Resh,
our Democratic County, Auditor, is
doing more and better work than Mr..
Russell ever did at saving to the
people of Henry county of many
thousands of dollars. Yet, in the face
of all this, the ex-reform(O Auditor
has the extreme gall to leave the i'm.
preston with the readers of the Sig.
nal that our County Commissioners
charge too much for their labor! Let
him cover back into the county treas
ury about one-fourth of the large
amount of money he has taken from
the people during his term as Audi
tor, then he might claim the right to
open his mouth. But, so long as he
don't do this, his lips should be sealed
against insinuating that his brother
official was a thief!

MOREBONDSPAIDOFF.
Keep Her Up, Boys, the People
Are With You.

The County Commissioners redeem
ed $1,000 more in bonds on Monday,
thereby reducing the bonded debt
just that much and relieving the peo-
pie from paying interest.
The bonds redeemed were:
Eight Ridgeville Gravel Road
Bonds, representing $4,000.
Three Court House Bonds, repre-
senting $4,000.
There is no mistake about it, the
present county management is
bound to reduce, if not wipe out en-
tirely, our bonded debt, to which al
will say amen
The Napoleon Republican gang OF
slate makers are trying to sidetrack
this good work, by getting up strife
between the people and the Demo
cratic management of county affairs,
but it wont win this time, as the peo-
pie are with our good officials who
are trying to do the right thing.
Down with all manner of calamity
howlers, is the cry. The people stand
shoulder to shoulder with our officials
in the good work and will see to ii
that it is not interfered with.

THE Napoleon ring of Republican
bosses and slate makers seem to have
cinch on the papers published out
side of the county seat, unless we ex-
cept the Mcclure Free Press, as they
are about all barking up the same tree
and their game seems to be the coun-
ty commissioners. This state of af-
fairs looks quite suspicious, so much
so that the intelligent voter can put
this and that together and arrive at
a correct conclusion. But it settles
one thing, the Signal can no longer
boast of being the only Republican
paper in the county, and in the minds
of the people it has probably settled
another fact, i, e, that the county
commissioners are hewing to the line
in trying to extricate the county from
the bad managementinaug un-
der the Russell administration of the
Auditors office. With the affairs of
the county in such good hands as
Auditor Resh and Commissioners
King, Burr and Reiser, the people
can rest easy.

WILL the republican editors OF
Henry county who are so anxious TO
have democrats vote for republican
county officers, please inform the
people what was ever gained by the
public in the election OF republican
county officials in the past, and
especially so when the board Of coun-
ty commissioners was republican. A
change of men, "only that and nothing
more" Yet il was more, the people
found out that these republican offici-
ais were expensive luxuries, and
those who were instrumental in put
ting them there almost took solemn
oath that they would not do so any
morer' Then, how was it when demo
Gratis put Geo. Russell into the audi
tors office? He, too, proved an ex-
ceedingly expensive republican lux
ury, costing the people between fouI
and five thousand dollars a year
Now, will democrats be led into try,
ing oyer again the same thing at the
coming November election? We dc
not believe they will.

ANY one who is weekly reader of
the Signal must now be fully convinc-
ed that it is fully in accord with the
scheme to establish ferry at Damas-
Gus at the expense Of the taxpayers
of the county. Its every utterance
and act points that way, and its edi-
tor came near renting his clothes in
his anger when the Democratic board
of county commissioners refused to
establish the ferry. Putting this and
that together, it is as clear as clear
can be that the Republicans have
fathered the scheme, and that they
have as much as committed their can
didate for county commissioner as ia
vorable to the cause. If this is not so,
then why does the organ of the Re-
publican party, the Signal, take such
deep interest in the matter of the
establishment of ferry at Damascus?
There can be but one conclusion, the
Republicans will push the scheme if
they are successful in electing their
candidate for commissioner. The tax
payers of Henry county should see to
it that the board of county commits
sioners remains as it is, as it is with
them against the Republican scheme.

The Silver Issue.

here Is no politics in the gospel ofbimet-
uilrm, except a. more men Of one nolitiesI
party than OF the other favor the free and
unlimited coinage OF both gold and silver.
Some leading Republicans are pronounced
silyefltes and some able Democrats are gold
bugs, out the masses have come TO the con-
eiuslon that tie salvation of the couptrv lies
in the rehabilitation of silver as il was prior
to the Sherman demonstration of lsT3.
Senator Brice draws the line on this question
al the correct place. He is unaIteraSly op.
posed to the mere purchase of pig silver for

WHEN HcKinley seeks to convey the
impression that the democratic par
ty did more for the sugar trust than
the republicanparty did, he seeks to
deceive. He says what he knows to
be false. Here are his words:
"An agreement made in absolute
secret that sugar should be taken
from the free list, where the republi-
can party had put it, and taxed for
the benefit of the sugar trust, which
tax should be borne by the American
consumer.
- While this is an admission that the
consumer pays the tax, it is, in other
respects, misstatement of fact. Mr..
Mckinley knows that Havemeyer
and other officers of the sugar trust
testified under oath before the senate
investigating committee that the Nc
Kinley law was far better for the
trust than the senate bill which is
now law. Raw sugar was on the
free list under the Mckinley law, and
that helped the trust because it
got it's raw material free of duty. At
the same time the tax on refined sugar
was direct protection to the trust
and helped it that much more. IN
der the new tariff law differential, or
duty on refined sugar, is just one
half what it was in the Mckinley law,
and takes millions of dollars away
from the trust that the republican
law gave it. The duty of 40 per cent.
on raw sugar goes to the government,
and not the the trust. 1t is source
of revenue and helps pay the ex-
penses of running the government.
So sugar is not taxed for the benefit
of the trust, and Mckinley stoops to
downright falsehood when he says it
| is.-Toledo Bee.

SO far the ,Signal has not dared
to deny our charge that the Republi-
can county ticket was made up right
here in Napoleon weeks before the
county convention was called to
nominate a ticket. The candidates
were all selected by few of the Re-
publican bosses of Napoleon, then
they called the county convention to
ratify their selections! This we
have charged time and again, and
now reiterate the charge. Good and
true Republicans were brow beaten
and whipped off the track when they
made known their intent of becoming
candidates before the Republican
county convention by the Napoleon
gang, who had prepared a slate tick
ct which they compelled the rank and
file of the party to swallow, whether
they wanted to or no.
Such high handed business would
be tolerated in no other political
party, and we are not sure that it will
be by the Republicans. 1t certainly
will not if the rank and file of the Re
publican party has spark of man
hood about it. Let ring rule be
throttled, and no better time to do it
can be found than at the November
election this year!

Don't Play Into the Hands ofthe Re-
publicans,

We learn that several heretofore
staunch Democrats of this county
have expressed an intention to vote
with the Populists in the coming cleo
ton. We are sorry to hear this, and
sincerely hope that those Democrats
may reconsider this matter and con-
clude to remain with the party for
which they have so long fought. Let
every Democrat remember that for
thirty years and more we have been
fighting the battles of the people
against t'the onslaughts of corporate
greed as countenanced and fostered
by the Republican party. Let us bear
in mind that now is the only time
since 1860 that Democracy has com
pletely triumphed, and that she can
not be expected to right the wrongs
perpetrated by Republican misrule of
thirty years, in a single year. 1t is
not the Democratic party that has
caused the unrest but vicious Repub-
lican legislation. That party
graciously relieved by Democracy, of
the burden that it had created, has
been since March 1893, looking wise
and charging its errors to Democratic
account.
Democrats should think for them
selves and they will see the scheme of
the Republicans and seeing it no
Democrat will weaken his party by
voting the Populist ticket. For a
Democrat to do so is the rankest fol-
ly. 1t is playing into the hands of
the Democratic party's arch enemy,
the Republican party. Don't do it,
but stand with the old party and as
sist in regaining the ground lost last
fall in Ohio.

THE whole administration of Rus

his work was so bungled up that it

Strengthened out, and withal the
books are in sorry plight. There is
as much difference in the records
made by Auditor Resh and those
made by Geo. Russell as there is be.
tween night and day. Even the Re,
publican State Auditor admits that
the settlement sheets made by Mr..
Resh are perfection themselves. In
the face of all this, the editor of the
Signal is trying to throw suspicion
upon Auditor Reshes ability and hon
esty. 1t wont win.
