Hill and That Fence!
He Took an $50 Fence and Allowed the
School District So For It!
DEsHLER, O., Oct. 8Oth, '94.

DEsHLER, O., Oct. 3Oth, '94.
EDITOR NoRTHwEsT:-There is at
the present time great deal being
said as to the honesty and good quail
tiles of the Republican candidate for
Commissioner of this county. All OF
this is very good, but it might be
proposed for the benefit of the voters
the county that they ask Mr.. Hill
about that wire fence deal that was
transacted about 10 years ago, about
the time that Mr.. Hill was elected a
member of the school board. We
mistake not, and know it to be true,
that a wire fence was placed around
the school house lawn at cost OF
$82. Soon after it was decided by
the Board to dispense with the fence;
for what reason this was done is best
known to themselves. Instead OF
putting the fence up at public sale,
disposing of it to the highest bidder
and increasing the school board treas
ury, they took rather dark course,
which at the time was opposed by
two members of the Board, who
wished to deal honestly with the peo-
pie who were interested in our school.
But Mr.. Hills honesty got the better
of him and he wanted that fence,
ana through the friendship Of ma
jority of the Board, got into their
good graces and secured the fence,
including good posts, at the nominal
cost of $5, hauled it home and erect
ed fence enough from it to surround
four acres of ground Now we would
ask the voters of Henry county, do
YOU want a man for Commissioner
of the county who would enter into
such deal? Do you think that he
would act honestly with the county
when we know that the above men
toned deal with his neighbors in
Barlow township was actually trans
acted? Mr.. King, the present Com
missioner, has done his duty and is
worthy of reelection, and it is the
the duty of all good citizens, regard
less of party, to cast their votes for
him for Commissioner on next Tues
day, DEsHLERITE.

Vote for King.

THE editor of the Signal whines
that he has no quarrel with Auditor
Resh! That's good, extremely good.
After Jake Resh has posted him as a
liar, knocked him down, pummeled
him to jelly, scrubbed the floor with
him, blacked his eyes and made the
claret run as free as cider, Russell
has the audacity to pick himself to-
gether and cry Jake Resh and |
have had no quarrelw By all that
is good, man, don't you know when
you're whipped? But, seriously, Bro.
Russell puts us forcibly in mind Of
the whipped fighting cock, which,
after emerging from a scrap, if it is
lucky enough to escape with it's life,
always crows Justify As much as to
say, We've had no quarrel, only a
love feast ~ Auditor Resh had an
easy victoy, for he had truth as his
cudgel and honesty as his breast
plate, while the Signal girded itself
with the mantle of calumny and mis-
representation and carried a supply
of mud-balls. This being the case,
the result could not have been other
wise.

Vote for King.

THE good people of Barlow town
ship have weighed Mr.. Hill in the
balance and have found him wanting.
They elected him j ustice of the Peace,
which office he found too big for
him and he resigned, thus putting the
taxpayers of Bartlow township to an
extra expense of $40 to elect his sue
cessor. And it might be said right
here that Democrat was elected to
fill the vacancy. Now if Mr.. Hill
proved too small calibre for Justice,
it would be piece of folly to elect
him to the most responsible position
in the gift of the people of Henry
county. Mr.. King has served the tax
payers of Henry county well, and is
before them asking for his second
term, and having proved himself a
good and faithful servant, he should
be elected for another three years by
a decisive majority.

Vote for Wistinghausen.

THE would-be Republican Sheriff.
by the grace of Democratic votes, and
his already chosen deputy, are con-
Quoting a gum-shoe campaign over
the county, venting their spleen
against Tom Burns, the Democratic
candidate, wherever they have an
opportunity. These fellows are small
potatoes and few in the hill, and are
conducting a small business; they
have not the manliness to come out and
conduct an open-handed campaign,
but would rather crawl over the
county secretly and in the dark, stab
bing Mr.. Burns in the back right and
left. What contrast this is when
compared with the manly and open
handed fight Mr. Burns and the Dem
ocrats are waging. If the Democrats
were so minded both the would-be Re
publican Sheriff and his deputy could
be raked fore and aft, as their charac-
ters are not iron-clad. Come, be men,
don't be sneaks.

Vote for Shook.

If elected and he certainly will be,
Mr.. Rummell will make Henry county
an excellent Prosecuting Attorney.
He has practiced law for nearly thirty
years and is therefore familiar with
the statutes of the state. He should
receive the vote of every Democrat,
which honor should be accorded Mr..
Wistinghausen, for Infirmary Direc-
tor, and DR.. Haly for Coroner. These
men with Thos. Bunrs for Sheriff and
Levi King for Commissioner, make
up the Democratic county ticket.
The party never placed a better tick
ct in the field. 1t is worthy, compe-
tent, and deserving.

Republican Promises!
DAMASCUS FERRY OR BRIDGE
One OF THEM.
A Scheme the Voters Of Henry County
Have a Chance to Nip in the Bud.
Food for the Reflection ofTax-Payers!

The Signal has never denied our
oft repeated assertion that it was in
favor of another ferry on the Maumee
river, and neither has Mr.. Hill denied
that he stood committed to the pro-
iect through the attitude assumed by
the Signal as the Republican organ
of the county. This silence is proof
conclusive to the people of Henry
county that these worthless are both
in favor of burdening the people of the
county with another expensive cross
ing on the Maumee river.
In fact, we have heard it rumored
that instead of ferry being promised
at Damascus, a bridge was the real
object in view, and there is no doubt
but that the Republican gang in Ma
poleon, headed by Russell of the Sig
nal, and endorsed by Hill as their
tool, have made pledges to this effect.
Their actions show it, and their sill
ence confirms it.
The people of this county are not
ready to burden themselves with
another bridge over the Maumee, or
even establishing another ferry, and
what is more never will be ready, for
it is not necessity that the Maumee
should have more crossings than it
already has.
Now is the time to nip this little
scheme in the bud, and the way todo
it is to vote the Democratic ticket as
against the gang, Hill and their prom
isesi

BrDDTlg and Hi
The Signals Watch Dog!
And a S2O Item for BrOOms! !
Citizens Of the DaShler School District
llCelSed

1t is reported that it required s2G
worth of brooms to keep the school
house clean last year. Great Scott
That janitor must have had brooms
for breakfast, brooms for dinner and
brooms for supper. er.-Deshler Trib-
uRG.
Mr.. Hill, the Republican candidate
for county commissioner is a member
of the Deshler school board, and has
been dubbed by the Signal the watch
dog of the board.
Now, let us see what kind of a
watch dog he has made. We have
already stated in another column
that Mr.. Hill just as well as robbed
the district out of the cost of a fence,
by appropriating it to his own use,
which stamps him as most excellent
watch dog, but not the kind of a
watch for the good of the district;
he proved to be dog watching for
his own opportunity and he was not
slow IN improving it, either.
Mr.. Hill has been a member of the
school board for eight or ten wears
and still he does not know how manv
brooms it should take to run a school
of six rooms, or he would never have
allowed such an outrageous bill for
the item of brooms alone. At the
rate of 81 perdozen it took 312 brooms
to keep the school premises free from
dirt during the school year of 22O
days, or very near a broom and q
half for each day Of schooU
Here again Mr.. Hill may have
proved an excellent watch dog, ac-
cording to the notion of the ,SigaaI, |
but he was certainly a poor watch
for the tax payers of the district. 1t
looks very much as though in addi-
tlon to the Janitor having brooms
for breakfast, dinner and supper, as
the Tribune says, Mr.. Hill seems to
have partaken of the same diet and
had "old brooms to SELF in the bar
gain!
This is not the man the people of
Henry county want for commission
er; he is not the right breed for
faithful watch dog. Levi King fills
the bill, and as he has proven faith
full to the interests of the taxpayers
he should be elected for a second
term.
Even if Hill was elected he no doubt
would resign to contest with McKin-
ley for the nomination for the Presi-
dency! You know the people of his
township did elect him to an office,
which he was compelled to resign, at
cost to the taxpayers of his town
ship of some SO!
Voters of Henry county, don't cast
your ballots for an uncertain quanti-
ty, but vote for Levi King who has
been tested and not found wanting!
Democratic Northwest and Henry County news. [volume] (Napoleon, O. [Ohio]) 1894-1905, 1894-11-01

THE Deshler Flag is quite anxious
to let the people understand that it is
an Independent paper, but at the
same time it is whooping it up for
Hill because he is Bartlow town
ship man. The people don't want a
commissioner for Barlow township
alone, but they want a man for the
whole county, no matter what section
of the county he is from. Mr.. Hill is
not that man, Mr.. King is. Hill was
selected as candidate to be mere
tool in the hands of the most corrupt
gang of Republican heelers that ever
any community. Mr.. King
was nominated by representatives
from all over the county, and is
therefore not a sectional candidate.
Vote for King.

A LAST WORD

On the coming Tuesday the voters
of Henry county will be called upon
to decide between the candidates
placed before them by the two great
political parties.
The Democratic candidates come
before the people upon their merits
not one of them is disqualified from
receiving the full strength of his par
ty, and most of them have been tried
in official position and not found
wanting. Therefore, they are not
only entitled to the support of their
party, but it is to the interest of the
general taxpayer to extend to them
their sufTrages upon Tuesday next.
The Republican candidates are the
creatures of a clique of persons, prin-
cipally in Napoleon, whose ends are
for selfish purposes, even at the ruin
alton of the county and of individu
ais. They are before the people for
simply what there is in it-so many
dollars and cents. No principle, no
honor, but with one purpose and in
tent only-that of gaining office at
cost of all decency and honesty, if
need be.
This is no overdrawn picture; it is
true and clearly substantiated by the
course pursued by the Republican
leaders, headed by their party organ,
which in an outrageous and shame
full manner has descended to the lev
ell of a blackguard and curb-stone
ward politician, in order that it might
sling mud and do the work of an in
CRATE.
With few exceptions, these are the
men who in times past have descend
ed to this same level, and in instances
have been partly successful in their
dirty work. Their mud throwing
was so artistically applied that the
people allowed themselves to be mis-
lead, the result being the election to
official and responsible positions of
creatures of these mud-slingers' own
creation.
Now, fellow voters, is it not true in
every instance where Democrats
elected Republican to office in Hen
ry county, that it proved q most eX-
pensive luxury to the taxpayers, and
that the Republican gang invariably
profted by it at the expense of the
county? Jog your memory by look
ing back and going over the entire
list, and see if what is here stated is
not the truth, and which can be sub
stantiated by evidence which is un-
impeachable.
Republican candidates elected by
the grace of Democratic votes may
go into their official positions with
good intentions, but, they being the
creatures of the Republican gang,
their good intentions are soon sub
servient to the dictations of the fel-
lows who picked them up with the
express purpose of using them as
tools
Fellow Democrats, we have had ex-
perience in large doses in the way of
electing Republicans to official posi-
tion, and the experience has proved
a dear teacher. Don't let us repeat
the dose upon next Tuesday, but
rather let us go to the polls and vote
for the candidates of our party, vote
for men whom you helped to select
through the power delegated to your
representatives IN convention as
sembled. Put your X in the circle
below the rooster, the emblem Of
your party, and see that your ballot
is deposited in the box, and you will
have done your duty to your God,
your country and your party.

Vote for Burns.

DURING the past week several in
stances have been brought to our no
tice where the Signal had been fore
ed in upon Democratic families, with
a promise of the publisher that it
could be paid for when they had the
money! A day of payment will come
around, whether they have the mon
ey or not, and the time will be charg-
ed up at the rate af $3.50 per year
In Democratic family the paper
would be dear at any price, in fact it
would be dear if it cost nothing. The
NORTHWEST is only $1.00 per year,
and should be in the family of every
Democrat in Henry county.

Facts for Tax
Payers |!
$4,000 ofCoun-
ty Debt
Paid IN One Year
Food for Reflection and Deter
mined Action! ,
Read ! Read ! Read !


Since last January our Democratic
officials have paid off TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS of the bond
ed debt of the county, and by the
1st of next January the sum will be
swelled to THIRTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS! And this much desired
result has not been accomplished, as
our Republican friends would have
the taxpayers of the county believe,
by borrowing from other funds, as
the statement of the condition of the
treasury on the 1st day of September
showed that there was money in ev-
cry fund, and to spare.
The examination of the treasury
on that date showed that there was
sufficient money in every fund upon
which to do business Such state
of things has not existed for twenty
five years, and is due to wise and eco
nomical management of our Dem
ocratic officials, men who are being
attacked in most shameful manner
by gang of Republican boodlers in
the county seat, for political purpos-
es!
In addition to paying so much of
the bonded debt, the county is rid of
every dollar of its floating debt,
which had reached the enormous
sum of over $4,000, most of which
had accumulated under the manage
ment, or mismanagement, of the Aud
itor's office during the three years of
George RusselIs administration. This
debt has been cancelled by our pres
ent Democratic officials, which in
itself should secure to these officials
the lasting gratitude of the tax-pay-
ers of Henry county.
Thus, it will be seen, by the liqui
dation of $4,000 of the bonded debt,
and the wiping out of the floating
debt of over $49, 900, the large sum of
$75, 900 has been paid on the debt of
the county, for which the whole
county is holden, since the first of
last January And when the 1st day
of January, which is most here, comes
around, $4,000 more of the debt will
be paid, swelling the amount to
EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
paid upon the debt of Henry county
in one short year! Next year $4,000
more of the debt will be cancelled,
and at this rate the entire bonded
debt of the county will be wiped out
in a few years!
Now, fellow taxpayers, these are
fH f..cts Is which are substantiated by the
records, which are open for inspection
to anybody. There is nothing to
cover up; what the Democratic offic-
ials have accomplished is clean work,
nothing secret about it, and through
this work the taxpayers of this
county have saved many thousands
of dollars in interest, and the credit
of the county raised to the highest
notch.
This being the case, then, fellow
taxpayers, would it not be wise to
let good enough alone, by keeping
the composition of the board of COM
missioners as it is, which can be ac-
complished by the reelection of Levi
King, who is one of the five Demo
cratic officials who have made it pos
sible to pay EIGHTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS of the county debt in one
year?
Your conscience will tell you that
it is, and that it is wise to let no per-
sonal grievance come between you
and your duty-that of casting your
vote for Levi King and the whole
Democratic ticket on Tuesday next.

BeWare!

We warn Democrats to be on the
lookout for all manner of campaign
lying reports and circulars which will
be circulated by the Republican gang
just on the eve of the election. The
Republicans are becoming desperate,
and they are banking heavily on their
gum-shoe campaign, lies and Doodle.
Beware, Democrats, and do not be de-
ceived!

WITH all due regard to the other
local Democratic speakers, all Of
whom have been doing good cam
paign work, we cannot refrain from
speaking of the earnest, honest and
truthful work which Auditor Resh
has been doing in the present cam
paign. Being one fully competent to
speak intelligently upon county af-
fairs and the financial condition of
the county at the present time, he
has, and is, giving sledge hammer
blows upon those who have taken it
upon themselves to misrepresent the
true condition of the county and the
honest intentions of our Democratic
officials. His statements, being true,
carry conviction with them, and have
acted as a regular boomerang in
knocking the daylight out of the
calculations and results of the Repub.
lican gum-shoe campaigners. All
honor to Auditor Resh.
