THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. BY A. J. HILL. Friday, October 20 1882, Who said “we have them on the run.” November will be a cold month for Republicanism. Soap did not count in Ohio this year. India na next. The Democratic party will make a home run in November. ■ . — <a »■ In an “off-year” it is curious what becomes of the good men. Tua Republican party is on the run. They arc all hunting holes. The Republicans will not hold any elections of consequence this fall. “Smash the Republican machine”— that the political bosses are running. StNCE’Ohio the Republicans have had some good practice gnawing a tile. They will vote the straight ticket. Every body says -nothing but the straight ticket. How many Guiteaus will it take to harmonize the Republican party, is a legitimate query. The hand writing on the wall—their record—makes the Republicans shake worse than old Belshazzar. McDonald's whisky, Dorseys soap, or Guiteau s shoot cannot save or harmonize the Republican party. The people are afraid to trust a party who slay their president while quarrelling over the spoils of office. The Journal tried to kick last week, but the Ohio election was a relaxing time for severe muscular exertion a la mule. Look out for a surprising majority for Joseph S. Dailey for Congress when you read the returns from Adams county. It is a bad year for another Keifer Congress. The enormous expenses, $300,000,000, the last Con-gress is a Standing invitation for the Republicans to step down and out. The Journal rejoices over one Democrat who is going to vote the Republican ticket. And The Democrat can name two Republicans lost to the party to one Democrat, from now until election day. Would it have been a disgrace to the Republican party if those bad meu who left them and voted with the Democrats had continued to vote the Republican ticket? Something seems to hurt somewhere, but what is it? Rev. Gleason seems to still stick to his endorsement of the "Jay Hubble assessments. He is trying to justify his course by saying “so did the Democrats." As Dorsey’s method is the best, of course he endorses Dorsey also. The Bluffton Chronicle says George W. Steele is putting out a large amount of wheat this fall. George is a better farmer than legislator, consc quently the people will put him where he will do most good, elect him to stay at home this fall and farm awhile. Where is Bro. Gleason? He started out claiming the Republican party the champion of prohibition. In last week's Journal he enters a general denial. If to claim the Republican party were whiskey Republicans would elect him, we verily believe he would make the claim. One of the best and surest things to kill the temperance question is to make the Republican party its champion. It is the mill stone that is hanging around the neck of the temperance cause, in Indiana to-day. Mark our prediction conscientious temperance Democrats. The official returns of the election in Ohio have not yet been received. The Democratic majority is from seventeen to tweruy thousand and thirteen out of twenty one congressman —a gain cf eight. In one or two of the other ernu-essiona! dist icts both sides cla m the election, which will result in a center;. Politics has demoralizdd Rev. Gleason. After making a political speech in this county which place will be nameless, he remarked, we might close with the benediction, but turned away smiling, “but I guess we will omit." The people more sensitive than himself with regard to matters saered, were shocked at his ill timed levity as well they might be, and some of his friends went away concluding it was all wrong to vote for him as they had intended to do. A great many good men must have died in Ohio last year. If not, according to the Republican idea, a great many bad men must have left the Republican party since the last election, because virtuous Republicans assert the Democratic victory this year was a disgrace. It is curious, that what is a disgrace to the Democratic party is not a disgrace to the Republican par ty, as those bad must ha'e voted with the Republican party when they were victorious. It makes all the differencs in the world whose ox is gored.

STEELE’S RECORD. Against the ptrsonal, and social character of the Hon. George W. Steele The Dispat th hue no word of complaint—hut aS he is now a candidate fir re-election, his record in Congress is a fit matter far inspection, a Iproval, or coudemuatloa. If he has shown, by hie votes that he has ever been ’it the side of the people as against the encroachments of capital; if he has stood steadfastly for the best interests of the toiling masses as opposed by the hy-dra-headed monopoly; if he never betrayed the mteies Is of his constituenev at the nod and beck of lhe money sharks of the East—if he has such a record the people should return 1 : m to the balls of national legislation. But if, on lhe other hand, hie record is gainst I im; if be has lent hints elf a willing tool to the Shylocke; if he has been guilty of aidirg or abetting class legislation; it he has not proven a good and faithful servant —if these things are lai lat hi' door by the official record of Congress, then he should be defeated and another elected to the place he h as so sbame-facedly dishonored. The Dispatch charges tint I eorge W. Steele has proven recreant to the great I rust confided to his keeping, and ought, therefore, to be defeated at the polls neat month. We charge that be has nerer failed to vole ngalnst the people’s interest when monopoly was to be served. We shall now prove our allegations by the printed record of the proceedings of the House of Representatives—an authority which Mr. Steele will not attempt to controvert. Very tocn after t r Steele had takt ' his seat in Congress he was put forward as the tool of the proposed ship canal, connecting the lake with the Ohio river, a palpable job involving the enormous sum of $25,0'0,000. The scheme was pretty effectually expotel by the Dispatch full one year ago The press of 'be State, of all parties, ventilated the t aosparent fraud so thoroughly that Mr. teele was forced by the demand of an out’ tged people to recede from the grea enormity, and hence lhe project to filch $25,000,000 from the hard earnings of the tax payers died of inanition, 'this is count No. 1. Without stopping toampli. on ea-h count egainst Mr. Steele, we =ha‘l let his own rec rd answer. When the bdl to take the tax off of bank cipital and banc deposits, amounting to $9,134,3’6 per year, was before the House, George W. Steele voted aye every t : me. See Congressional report. Count No. 2. George W. Steele voted to take th stamp tex off bank checks, amounting to $2,253,418 per year. See same official report. Count No. 3. Not satisfied with thus relieving ’the tank monopoly of tn r ation at the ex tense ofthepeon'e Georg’W Steele went still tin tlier in the interests of the gold brgt and voted to xt°nd the charter of nation al bank’• fit another term of twen y years, and vsted against substituting Greenbacks for national jbank bills See same official record. Count No 4 George IV Steele, in the interests of wealth and monopoly, voteffto take off the tax ou patent medicines, perfumeries, and cosmetics, amounting to $2,226,503 annually. See same official record Count No. 5. Down to tins point we have five ccuots against Mr. Steele, as shown by the official congressional record. We find that he has univ n sally voted with capital and against the tax payers; that ho has been the pliant tool of monopoly and the en’my of the common people; that he has voted relief to tanks, patent medicine manufacturers, cosmetic dialers, and perfumery loids to the aggregate sum of $13,614,370. Think of it, losers, nearly fourtei i million dollars annually voted to the relief of lhe banks and monopolists! This vast sura must be made up from taxation of the common people ! So much for Mr. Steele's record in favar of monopolists and capital. Now let us consult ths congressional record again aud see whether be has in any single instance voted to relieve the laboring men and farmers, who compose nine-tenths of his constituency, of a dollar of uunreessery taxation—whether he has favored the people tn a like manner 'hat he has the capitalists. The Dispatch asserts that Mr. Steele uniformly voted for every measure to relieve capital and as uniformly voted against every measure for relieving the common people f’om taxation, and actually voted to increase their burdens. Let the official record speak ; At last we find a measure designed to relieve the formers of the conn.ry. A bill was introduced in the house to help the farmers by taking tho tax of 57 per cent, off trace chains, which, as all our people know, are a necessary article on every farm. Having voted to relieve the national banks, lhe patent medicine and cosmetic manufacturers of $13,714,370 annually, the reader would naturally cou'lude that Congressman Steele vould not deny the farmer a little relief on lhe single article of common tiace chains. This wise measure was defeated, aud G irge IV. Steele voted against it 1 See Congressional record, No. 134, page 47. This is count No. 6, and one, too, that the farmers es the Eleventh Congressional District will store up against the Hon. George. But lhe most col .ssal infamy of all, the most stupsndoue staiat the very vitais of the.ommon people, is yet to rel ite. We refer to the iniqultious and infamous knit goods bill, by which the tax, or tariff, on woolen hosiery, knit goods, shirts, drawers, ete , was Increased from 35 to 85 cents on the dollar—ll.u« more than doubling the cost of these necessaries of the people. Here, again, was a splendid opportunity for Mr. S teele to have cast bis vote on the side of the toiling millions, the laboring men of the country; but be betrayed them, just as be betrayed the farmers on the trace chain outrage. By the aid of Mr. Steele s vole the kbit good* infamy passed the house and every Indiana Republican member voted for it. The enormity of this outrage against the people aroused resentment over tho country. The Chicago Tribune, one of the leading Republican journals of the Northwest, in speaking of this matter, said editorially: “The enormity of this rote is striking, even in this day of crai- for in-.eased taxation. the present tax on men's and women a woolen or sot-sled underclothing including women s ana cbildi n a stocking-, is thirty five cents on h dollars worth, but these 130 representatives voted to increase this tax to eighty-fi’e cents on the dollar, at present the soman taking $2 to tbe store to buy hosiery has to take

seventy-five cents additional to pay the tax; but if this bill for which those 130 representatives voted becomes a law, she will take with her $i 70 to pay tax on $2 worth of hosiery. "There is not a pretense of any kind that lhe government needs any revenue from this tax ; the treasury is so overflowing that the seentary is buying up the public bonds at the rate of $10,000,000 per month, and yet, fr n pure wantoness of power, these repirsentatives deliberately vote to impose a tax of eighty-five cents on every dollar * wort It of woolen hosiery and knit goods used by lhe people. Ur command this vote to the attention of the people of Low a. Illinois, Tndiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota who have congressmen to elect this foil.” Upon the same subject the Cincinnati Gasette, another leading Republican paper in its issue of July 12th, said “The duty that they intend,to fix is equal to 85 per cent. They proved that they need it in order to be able to sustain their manufactures; therefore it follows that they add it all to the price of their goods The same rate is levied on the packages and shipping expense,and the dealer has to have a commission and a profit on the duty the same as on the other cost, all of which makes it easily amount to 100 per cent., which is a Ided to the price of home goods Thue every farmer, laborer, lumberer, every worker in iron, wood, wool, cotton, every man, woman and child who wears knit stockings, undershirts, drawers or any knit goods must pay double price for them. One of the arguments on this was that it was lhe duty on wool and woolens, but a large part of lhe knit goods are all cotton and the American knit goods that profess to be wool are mor* thin half cotton Vet they claim 85 per cent, because of wool. But the value of all products of knit good* for 1880 was only $28,618,729--not a fiftieth part of the farming industry alone, which is taxed so highly on its wear of these goods. The capital invested is not lhe twentieth part of that invested in the iron industry, all of whose laborers have to pay this bonus on these goods for themselves and families. For Steele's vote on this outrage, see Congressional Record, No. 134. page 46. This is count No. 7. and one that the people cannot and will not forget, condone, palliate, ar excuse By his own record is Steele convicted and condeuine 1. The record shows him to have uniformally voted to re lieve banks, tut nopolies, and capital of nearly fourteen million dollars annu ally. The record shows that he stead fastly opposed every measure for the relief of the common people. He voted to reduce the tax on banks and , monopolies; he voted to increase the tax on knit goods and woolen from 35 cents to 85 cents on the dollar, more than doubling the cost of every pair of socks, drawers, shirts, etc., to the people; he voted against reducing the tax on trace chains 57 per cent., a measure calculated to afford relief to the farmers on a necessary article of farm consumption. With the undu- , bitable proofs at our back, we chai- ( lenge denial of any charge that we have made. We invite the Republican organs and orators, all of them, in this district to dispute a single allega- t tion we have made. They dare not defend Steele'.- reeking and infamous ( record in congress. They know that the facts are against him—that his own acts cond. mo him before the people. Voters of the Eleventh Congressional District—Democrats, Republicans, and Greenbackers —what do you say of Steele’s one term record in congress? Has he proven himself the unpurehasable, incorruptible, steadfast, vigilant friend of tbe people? Has he not, in his brief term of office, budded such a record that condemnation, with a thousand tongues., speaks in trumpet tones from every act we have enumerated? Has he not played the suppliant tool to capital, and monopoly, and monied interest? Has he not cowardly and basely betrayed the interests of his constituency by opposing every measure of relief proposed for their benefit? Out of his own mouth is he condemned. From head to foot has his record stuccoed him with the ineffaceable evidences of betrayal of the people. V hile he has favored capital by relieving it of $13,614,370 in taxes annually, he has refused to lighten the burden of the farmer and the working man. His record may be summed up in these words : “Every farmer, every laborer, every lumberer, every worker in iron, wood, wool and cotton, every man, woman and child, who wears knit stockings, undershirts or drawers, or other knit goods, must pay a double price for them." We submit that George V . Steele—by his betrayal of the people, by his toadyism to the banks, and monopolies, and money-bags of the East —has forfeited all claims to a re-elec-tion. He has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Let the verdict of the votei s of this district on the 7th of next month be : “Depart from me, ye w orker of iniquity, I know ye not !” Animals usually get their eyes open in nine days. Men get their eyes open, sometimes sooner, but generally later. It is so with Rev. Gleason. In his first speeches he told his hearers that the Republican party was the champion of prohibition. His political friends wrestled with him to confine himself to the Republican platform. He amends his position in the Journal last week, or some one of the numerous editors for him, by saying the Republican patty is committed to submission. It is wrong to asiert The Democrat falsified his position in the first place. The Reverend gentleman has either got his eyes open, < r some one of the numerous editors of the Journal arc insisting for him that they are open. The Democrat c par'y does not bulldoze temperance Democrats. The party will not, however, allow its members to go over to the Republican party and work for the entire R 'publican ticket, and allow them to call themselves Democrats, or make Republican speeches and call them Democratic speeches. The Democratic party recognizes that this is a free country and every one has a right to vote as he pleases. When the average voter works and votes fora ticket, that work and that vote determines his position politically—and the name Democrat or Republican he is entitled to, not the asserticns of the individual. If, as Rev. Gleas n maintains, his eyes are open, he cun see the fallacy of his assertion. Traitors are those who pre tend friendship only to betray.

The political soldiers of fortune, the Lafities and Captain Kilds, political pirates of modern times are cutting one anothei’s throats. In New York Folger’s nomination by a forgery of tbe Morey type; in Pennsylvania by methods quite as mean, dishonest and revolting, has led to a revolt of the honest masses of the party. It indicates the reign of the bosses is about over. The mandate of the people has gone forth that the expenses of the federal government in every department shall be placed upon a basts honest «nd economical. A modification of the tariff, so that it will benefit the people and wipe out monopolies. No more McDonald whiskey rings; no more Star Routers; no st al ing by government officials or cong; ssional rings. The occasion is great; the necessity imperative; the people recognize it. The Democratic party will be entrusted with the execution of the mandate, and will be placed in power for that purpose. Ohio has affirmed this already. Indiana, New York and Pennsylvania will affirm it in November. That Settles it. The Journal, Bluffton Chronicle, and the ladies cf the W. C. T. U. took a position in the past, that the Democrats were responsible for the Garfield funeral drunk. Last week under the head of “tbe appropriations,” it became necessary to account for the big expense of the last congress, and among the extraordinary those of Garfield’s funeral, and all it implies, including the big drunk--as ons of the necessary expenditures.
