The most prominent of the Democratic
leaders in Ohio is Sam. Cary, who by reason
of his supreme qualifications as blatherskite
takes precedence even of Governor Allen in
the affections of the Democratic masses.
Cary was once, in naEe at least, Republi-
can. He took his first downward step in
1866, when he became an Independent"
Since then he has steadily gone to the bad,
and is now trusted standard-bearer cf the
rag-money party. The man was always
demagogue at bottom. Indeed his title of
general is peculiarly Democratic military
title, having been won as Paymaster- General
of some defunct militia organization. Like
our own Corporal Emery he is fond of using
the language of military orders.


This man Cary is the most active CAM
paigner the Democrats of Ohio possess, and
makes speeches nearly every day. In the
very opening of the canvass be assumed the
role of communist. That may account for
his popularity with the dishonest organization
which has put him in nomination. He began
by denouncing the ''bloated bond.holders,"



who were suffering from the general business
stagnation, that "It is the settled policy of
the Republican party TO build up system of
moneyed aristocracy, that few may control
the many-to have a government in which
the ruling class shall be men of money!
This nonsensical statement he has repeated
a every place where spoken


los 1.a do In ot a
ma, in which he assured his audience that
"the Republican party has enacted that the
man who don't work shall have plenty to eat.
and he who does work shall have nothing.
Every law and every financial measure, with
one exception has been enacted with direct
reference to putting tie burdens Of govern
ment upon the poor, and relieving the mon
eyed few OF all the burdens and taxation
from government They mean that The la
boring man shall get up at 5:20 in the morn
ing and work till 7:30 at night, in order that
the bondholder may lie in bed till 10 40 the
next morning." Further on he declared that
the payment of the 500 bonds in gold is
crime, and enuuciated startling communis-
tic doctrine in these words: ''Who should
ha We the luxuries of life unless the men who
create them? How you can tamely stand up
and see men rolling in wealth and luxury
drawn from the sweat of your brow and the
toll of your muscle-how you can do it and
maintain your temper is more than I can see."
On the currency question he took decided
tand, saying SIT is gold and silver currency
the Republican party is after. There can be
no such currency. 1t is impossible"


This blatant demagogue who appeals to the
ignorance and prejudice of his hearers, who
attempts to array class against class, the poor
against the rich, is the man whom the De.
mocracy of Ohio have nominated for high
Office, and whose election the argus unceas-
ingly advocates.

1t is very unfortunate thing for the DEM
ocratic leaders that their fellow citizens can
remember longer than decade. They make
such passing fine talk now about economy
and purity in the government and equal
rights for all, that at first we conclude that
they are the very elect of the political world
men without political sin, patriots from
their first mortal breath and reformers of the
most rigid type. One can hardly believe that
these same men who declare with such ap-
parent unction for equal rights to all men,
eleven years ago opposed a war to save the
nation because it would free four millions of
slaves; yet such is the fact. One would not
believe that these men who shout so loud for
purity in the government could possibly have
copcocted a plan 20 carry an election by the
free use of money and rum,-by purchasing
voters like sheep, only for less price per
head. Yet such is the fact If official reports
can he believed, an extract of one of which
relative to the Madawaska election frauds in
1858, we copy, this morning, from the Ken
nebec Journal. In business affairs, the gen.
tlemen whose names are mixed up with the
Madawaska election frauds are honorable;
socially they are most agreeable; but to carry
an election to endorse the Buchanan admin
istration, which had been using federal bayo-
nets for force slavery upon Kansas, they had
resort to measures which were fagrant viola
tions of law and inimical to the welfare of
our institutions.


In the years which have passed since that
time, have these gentlemen seen the error of
their active political life? Have they repent
ed their manifold and grievous sins in sack
cloth and ashes? Have the years of political
fasting which they have been forced to live
since Buchanan's time, been unto them a
means OF political grace? We hope so; but
as they have confessed none of their sins, but
on the other hand parade those Of their
neighbo-s, to say nothing of bearing false
witness against them, we greatly fear
that they are not in that humble and
contrite state of heart which betokens sorrow
for sins abandoned.

Entranced by the power Of his own pleasant Dreams
Till the silent, the wayward, tie wandering thing
Found plume that had fallen from passing birds

Exulting and proud like boy at his play
He bore the prize to his dwelling away;
He gazed for awhile on it's beauties and then
He cut it, and shaped it, and called it a PEN
But its magical use he discovered not yet,
Till he dipped its bright lips in fountain of jet;
And oh what glorious thing it became!
For it spoke to the world in a language of flame:
While its master wrote on like a being inspired
Till the hearts of the million were melted or fired.
It came as boon and blessing to men,
The peaceful, the pure, the victorious Pen
Young Genius went forth on his rambles once more,
The vast, sunless caverns of earth to explore;
He searched the rude rock and with rapture he founC

He fused it with fire, and rejoiced at the change
AS he moulded the ore into characters strange,
Till his thoughts and his efforts were crownedwith

For engine uprose, and he called it the Press.
The Pen and the Press, blest alliance! combined
To soften the heart and enlighten the mind;
For that to the treasures of knowledge gave BIRTH
And this sent them forth to the ends of the earth
Their battles for truth were triumphant indeed,
And the rod Of the tyrant snapped like reed
They were made to exalt us, to teach us to bless.

We went to the camp for the pur-

peaceable recovery of his horse.


We had no other object in going


there, our own property was not
in the camp, and we could nave no
motive in commencing the fight.
Four or five shots were fired at us
before we pulled trigger, and
then the odds we're so much against

fensIye, until one Of our little party
was killed, when through sheer des-
p0ruti0n "0 changed from the de-

Of instruction was far more credit

About four o'clock We were

US to assist him in negotiating for


the recovery of his horse which the


Indians had stolen during the night.


We consented to aid him, and fol-


lowing him proceeded to the In
dian camp. On our arrival, the
Indians at once assumed a hostile
attitude and refused to give up the
horses, saying that if we did not
leave, they would wipe US out.
To retreat under the circumstances
would simply have been destruction
to the whole party. If we had
even displayed the foaet sign Of foor,
any one acquainted with the In
dian nature will admit that our
chances for escape would have been
small. FarWell advised us to keep
quiet, saying that he would en-
deavor to induce them to listen to
reason. Knowing that We were
not willing to- have any difficulty
with the Indians and that we were
consulting on the best method Of
treating, if possible, Farwell stroye
hard to quiet the Indians. 1t was
Of no avail, and after several at
tempts were made to open fire on
US, Farwell, under pretense Of 60

well leave they became convinced
that we were afraid, and could be
