The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1897-12-31


This was Green's democr acy up
until the State convention Of 1896,
and this Is the reason that the
democracy of Hooking in mass
convention would not trust him MS
u delegate, and put the honor on
us, because they knew our policy
on the important question Of the
day. All this is history. This Is
not babbling. This is not the bub-
bling over of the rat he calls US.
This IS history, and we can sub.
stantiate what we say. These are
few samples of Green's demo-
cracy OF which he boasts of leading
for sixty years. The kind of dem
ocracy that prompted him to call
w. w. Keynes into his Office, and
insist on him running for sheriff
against Dan Wright, pledging him
self to work for Keynes If he would
run. "Any thing to beat that d-n
scoundr, ! of Dan Wright" he
said. The kind of democracy that
prompted him to get out a circular,
of which we have copy in our
office, denouncing the 'Daveys, the
Hefts and the Wrights. The kind
of democracy that prompted him
to promise Dennis Morarity II po-
sition of mail weigher on the rail
road and then 60 to Columbus and
clinch the same for his own son.

that prompted him to promise Cart

sioners report, and he did keep his
mouth severly shut and Webb de-
livered the goods. Green is the
great and beautiful specimen Of

July II, 1895 that General Gros-

crat of Logan into scheme in the
last campaign to dump the county
ticket. The proposition was made
going to Columbus one day in Octo-
ber last, with prominent Repub-
lican. He is the great advocate of
democracy who has the s.and.in
with the repnblican committee v no
force republican Office holders to
give him their patronage for SER
vices rendered. He is the speci-
men that howls "a. p. a." at dem
ocratic candidates each year to
poison the minds of good people
against them. He is the George
Cox politician Of Hooking who
stalks around before elections and
claims to have hundred votes in
his pocket that he can throw for
any body. I'VE soy this is the kind
of man Of whom we are writing
in the person of Lewis Green and
we can substantfate every thing
we say. The democracy of Hook
ing are getting on to him, They
began to open their eyes when he
lied on Infirmary Superintendent
Danl Nixon, one of the grandest
men and democrats in Hooking,
and they have been watching Green
ever since. He is the great mind
who styled the present Democratic
Executive ommittee, "a band of
brainless, selfconstItuted and mer-
cenary leaders,"
"Upon what meat, what conciet,
what subsidy for desertion has he
fed, that he has grown so great a
democrat"
