OUR farmer voters should remem-
Der that Dewitt, the Republican can
didate for Congress in this district,
while he was in the legislature, work
ed hard and untiring for the repeal of
the CARRIER salary bill, which was q
Democratic measure and which was
asked to be made law by the farm
ers of Ohio. He is now asking for
the votes of these same farmers. His
record in the legislature, as whole,
is rotten to the core, and it alone will
be the means of loosing him hundreds
of votes. Vote for Shook.

Makes Democrats.

WHILE Geo. Russell was in the
Auditors office, his slovenly way OF
conducting the duties of the office
was so apparent that he was taken to
task almost daily for the glaring mis-
takes he was guilty of. But invariably
his answer would be, 'That's the
work of my clerksl'' "My clerks"
stood the blame for a long time, but
they called halt upon Russell and
signified that they would stand the
outrage no longer, and that the blame
must 60 where it belonged-to the
Auditor himself. In fact Deputy
Auditor Coe kicked SO hard that he
kicked out of the traces way over into
the Democratic ranks, and has been q
Democrat ever since. THERE'S no doubt
about it, Russell has made more good
Democrats out of honest Republicans
than any other man in the county.
His questionable tactics this fall are
against the wishes of the better class
of Republicans, and it is only the Sc
we're lashing of the party whip that
keeps them from an open rupture.
They have the Australian ballot as a
recourse, now let them use it.

The committee appointed to exam
inc into the affairs of the officials of
Fulton county have filed their report
with Judge Sheets. We understand
the committee have found some un-
lawful acts committed by some of the
officials, and few small sums of
money due the county, and other
sums still due some of the officials.
Much speculation is indulged in as to
who is to pay the costs of the ex-
amination-the county or the petition
ers who asked for the examination.
Judge Sheets will determine the mat
ter, and ten to one the county will be
made to shoulder the expense.

DOODLE.
The Napoleon Republican
Bosses Provided With
Plenty Of the Stuff!
THEREBY HANGS A TALE 4!
And a First Glass Row
Results!

The Napoleon Republican bosses
have been provided with large cor
ruption fund, to be used in the inter
est of Dewitt, who is the protection
ist candidate for Congress in this dis
trict.
The monopolists and protectionists
are making a desperate effort to get
control of the next Congress, in fact
they have become so bold, relying up
on the large corruption fund they
have raised to do its work, as to say
the Democrats would not carry a
Congressional district in 0hiol
The 5th District has been flooded
with this Doodle, and the magnitude
of it has been the means of the Ma
poleon bosses to loose their heads,
and in consequence they have good
sized fight among themselves, to
determine who is to handle the swag.
There has been no bloodshed as yet,
but any amount of i'll feeling, which
in fact has divided their number, and
the factions are almost at swords
ends.
The Doodle was raised to help De
Witt, but the gang have given up all
hope of electing him in this district,
so they have determined to use the
money in the interests of their county
ticket, especially so in the cases of
Hill and Pender, which two offices
the big boss of all the bosses, Geo.
Russell, says he must have at all haz-
ards, as it is life or death to his news
paper venture, and in order to show
that he is in earnest he himselfh ad-
ded a large sum to the Doodle pile, some
placing the amount which he has given
as high as $500!
Before the campaign closes, we look
for an open rupture between these
Republican worthless, and some affi-
davits will result, which will open the
eyes of the common people.
Our advice is, take all the money
the boodlers offer you, or you can get
from them, and then go to the polls
and vote the Democratic ticket from
top to bottom. You have the Aus
tralian ballot to protect you!

DON'T TRADE! +!

The Republicans have already CON-
menced their trading scheme. They
are especially making dupe Of Mr..
Pender, their candidate for Sheriff,
andare butchering him wherever they
can. They are trading him for Hill,
having receded from their bluff in
the opening of the campaign that
they would elect their entire ticket.
Democrats, don't trade, but cast your
ballot with the intention of electipg
every man upon your ticket, and you
will accomplish it.

ALL ONE SIDED!

When Republican asks a Demo
crat to scratch his ticket, the Demo
crat should consider the matter for q
sufficient time to revive his memory
of the fact that Republicans don't
scratch their tickets, and that when
the Democrats nominate the very best
men in the county the Republicans
don't cast vote for them: For the
proof of this it is only necessary to
examine the election returns and see
how the vote stands. The scratching
business is all one-sided, and we are
sorry to say that the Democrats are
usually the dupes in this matter.

Oh, yes, Geo. Russell was a model
auditor, in fact he was a reform audi
tor, inasmuch as he made more mis-
takes than had usually occurred in
that office before. Why, he was so
careless, that in his duplicates of 1899,
the same in which the wholesale era
sures occurred, he omitted the Sd ad-
dition of A. H. Tyler and the "a acre
tract of land of Fred. Imbrook! And
this is the person who has the cheek
to criticise Auditor Resh and the
board of Commissioners.

HONEST DAVE HANCOCK is not in
with the slate makers and big Repub-
lican bosses of Napoleon, who took it
upon themselves to whip in, and did
whip in, most of the rank and file of
their party. Although he is a Repub-
lican, he don't sanction the high hand
ed business of the slate makers. Be-
ing out-spoken in his denunciations
of the actions of the gang, Dave is
not allowed to train with them; he's
too honest for them, as was Mr..
Meyers, Fitch and hundreds of others.

The Signal is very much exercised
over the fact that the county commits
sioners did not allow the Damascus
ferry and the Bowerman ditch, and
in its rawlings leads one to infer
that if Hill is elected commissioner
both the Damascus ferry and Bowerss
man ditch will be reopened and
pushed through. If this is wrong
let the Signal say it is not in favor

Oh, no, we know full well that the
