REPUBLICAN TICKET.

V ...til s1.a aitnAmiaVttklkt I aim !

Independent candidate for Representative of Krown and Monroe counties, subject to the will cf the people, W.D.CLARK. In a much as the Republicans of Brown and Monroe counties have not seen lit to nominate a candidate for Joint Representative, I desire to announce my candidacy for tliat office, in the eolunis of jour paper. I believe in keeping alive the party tradition by placing a full ticket in the field, and ask the votes of all niv friends. SAMUEL GORDON.

THE PROOF IS DEMANDED. Republicans demand the proof of the statement by the Democratic Resolutions that "The County indebtedness of more than One Hundred Thousand dollars is the result of extravagance and corruption."

,iohu jez. Jacirce icas me aurwr of the statement, and the Telephone now call upon him to prove it. The Telephone now offers and asks to publish the proof of the above statement.

Keep hard at work!

Mr. Hinkle, the working men don't know you. Not one soldier on the Democratic countv ticket Not one!

Frank Dobson never spent a dollar but what he made by hartl work. Not a Union Soldier on the Democratic county ticket not so many as one.

Are the people going to open a grave-yard insurance office in the Sheriff's office?

A resolution, a card, or even a word on grave yard insurance would now be in order. "When father dies I'll be worth several hundred dollars more," (j rave-yard insurance. The Republicans answer to the Democratic Resolutions: By our works we ask to be known! To the Courier-. Please give us the names of the soldiers nominated at the Democratic county convention.

When yop re ad the news from Maine remember that this is to be a "defensive" campaign, on the part of the Republicans. The man who works hard to earn enough to care for his old father and mother has, a htart in him. That man is always an honest man!

The good people of Monroe county! will judge the parties by their actions and works, and not by

the signing of pretentious resolu

tions. Frank Dobson is the kind of a man that cares for his old father and mother. P. S. He does not insure

their lives in a grave-yard company

to get back the money, either.

It was"hypocrasy and ingratitude"

for the Republican convention to

only nominate two Union Soldiers. But it was all right for the Dem

ocrats to not nominate so many as

one.

What is the use of the Democrats misrepresenting the result in Maine? Some of their papers are stating that unless Maine gave 30,000 Republican majority, it would not be a victory, and others are saying the Maine election tells nothing. The Republican majority at the September election in 187G was 14,011, and in 1880 the fusion ticket (Democrats and Greenbackers) carried the State by 189 votes This year the Republican majority is 17,500 and a plurality of 21,000 against a plurality in 1876 of 15,444. Here we sec that the Maine Republicans have increased their vote absolutely by from 3,000 to 4000, their majority over all other candidates by from 2,000 to 3,000, and their majority over the Democratic candidate by from 5,000 to 6,000. We see also that he Democratic vote has suffered a loss of from 2,000 to 3,000 a loss almost equal to the Republican gain. More than this: the gain was general, showing that it came from among the people. The Republicans carried every county in the State, elected all the Congressman, and all the Senators of the home legislature, something never before known in Maine. Such a result can not but help having a good effect in other States, and whether it does or not the vote of Maine is the most marked Republican victory in the history of the party.

Republicans are not ashamed of

the manner in which they are con

ducting the campaign, and without any pietentious resolutions they ask the closest investigation by the good people of the county.

The Western Christian Advocate, the great religious journal of the M. E. church, has the following to say of Mr. Cleveland from a moral stand point: "God is merciful, and men should be merciful. At the same time we doubt that the vote of Mr. Beecher or Mr. Twining will avail to make a President out of this male Magdalen. The homes of the Republic will scarcely concent to place the possible penitent in the proudest presiding chair iu Christendom. It is scarcely enough to say that Cleveland, if guilty, is no worse than the majority of men. American sense of decencv will probablv not consent to this libel on American private character by electing a man who is the central figure in such an unchaste history. His election would do m ore to scandalize us throughout civilization than all our disgraceful Mormon ism in Utah and our shameful divorce record in all States of the Union. The Democratic managers owe it to the people to put up' another candidate. The illegitimate son would be an improvement. The present candidacy is an insult to every home in the land, in the absence of the authoritative denial, for which a month has given ample space."

Ohio votes three weeks from

next Tuesday. Ohio has never

given a Democratic majority in a

Presidential election since the war.

This year, more than ever before,

new issues enter into the contest; or rather there is some danger of

the German element alienati n r

itself from the Republican party. Should this occur the result would

be very close, but as yet there is no

evidence of such a condition of

affairs. On the real issues of the campaign the Democrats have no

more chance of carrying Ohio than

Kansas or Iowa. Ohio is more likely to give the Republican ticket

35,000 majority than to go Demo

cratic.

Columbus Republican: "Col. Matson now denies that he

made the speech attributed to him

at the xJloomington convention. It

is of no use; the speech was taken down by a short hand reporter who

will swear to its correctness, besides

there are scores oi: intelligent men

who will testify that it was pub

lished substantially as delivered.

In that speech he declared, in effect,

that he was in favor of free trade, savagely denounced those Democrats who opposed the Morrison bill aud predicted that the Chicago convention would take such a position as would drive them out of the party."

"RiiS0LVEi, That we stand pledged, as heretofore, to see to it that worthy union soldiers within our ranks shall have no cause for complaint, similar to those occasioned by such Republican hypocrasy and ingratitude" Democratic County convention. And yet not one soldier was norainated at this convention, though the Republican convention a few weeks previous nominated two men who were as gallant soldiers as ever went to the front. If it was ''hypocrasy and ingratitude" to only nominate two soldiers, what was it tn nominate none at all?

The home guard ticket is what to call it. Not one Soldier to give it honor.

Not a single soldier on the

State by buying votes. Republicans are not ashamed of their action?.

Wuex the Democrats prove what! the debt of Monroe county is over 100,000 as the result of Republican extravagance and corruption,, then their "pretentious" resolutions miffhtbe considered.

Lkt us hope that Ohio will go Democratic like Maine did. The Republican majority would be near 90,000 ! We all can remember the slander that was heaped on the lamented Garfield. Equally well we remember the result.

Tins Democratic Commissioners should explain why they did not ttount McKinney's money at the end of the first term, as the Uw requires.

Some of the Democratic papers are claiming the Republican victory in Maine was caused by the use of whisky, while others say it was a

Prohibition victory. Pay your I As thk old Democratic party is money and take your choice. Both getting very near death's door, some are false fellow ought to take out a grave

had no uncertain sound.

The Chicago Tribunehas a special from Washington, in which it says: "It is definitely decided that Postmaster General Gresham will be appointed to succeed Judge Drummond as United States Judge at Chicago. He has declined the Sacretaryship of the Treasury, which was offered him bv the Prosident. Jt is understood that Judge Gresham will enter on his duties as Judge Drummond's successor the 1st of October."

John McGREsays the Telephone is a liar and slanderer. We say

' Johnny is within the limits of an

unmitigated prevaracater of the truth when he says the indebtedness of Monroe county is $100,000. We can prove what we say. The Courier says the Telephone is a malicious slanderer if it does not give its informant that John McGee opposed the "soldier resolution." Will Johnnie please give us the proof that Monroe county is in debt $100,000, the result of extravagance and corruption!

cREsoLVE,that we stand pledged, as heretofore, to especsally see to it that worthy union soldiers within our ranks shall have no cause for complaint similar to those occasioned by such Republican hypocrisy and ingratitude." Ifitwas hypocracy and ingratitude" for the Republican convention to nominate two soldiers, what was it for the Democrats to not nominate so many as one? The Courier will please answer. The head of the Republican county ticket is a working man, and he is not ashamed of it, either. Frank Dobson was raised to and very few days has he lost since he Avas old enough to swing a hammer. The sweat of his brow his muscle his carred for an old father, made a home for the old mother, raised a family, bought a little property, paid for an interst in a black-smith shop, and he is a young man yet. In return for this a certain element of the Democratic party has heaped abuse on his head and circulated reports that would be a disgrace to a convict. ' They can not effect honest men,however, for though Frank's

surroundings may not yet compare with some, he is not ashamed for any ma n to look in upon his humble life of toil. A writer in some good book says that the man who loves the good, old mother is the man with a soul, and Ave believe it!

"The county indebtedness of more than One Hundred Thousand dollars is the result of extravagance and corruption as practiced by the ring." Democratic resolution passed by their convention. The voters of the county, the offcials, and every honest man demands thfi proof for the above.

"Resolved that it is hypocrasy and ingratitude for the Republicans to not nominate soldiers," is the language of the resolution passed at the Democratic county convention that did not nominate a single Union soldier, P. S. On the Republican ticket two soldiers are given a place. That's the difference!

Up to the hour of going to press no communication has been received proving the "indebtedness of Monroe countv to be over $100,000" or that "it was the result of extravagance and corruption as practiced by the ring." The Republicans demand the proof.

"Maine has gone Republican by about 17,000 majority The Democrats made no light in that State, while on the contrary the Republicans put forth every effort to carry it by a large majority. Grant carried the State in 1872 by 30,000 majority. The Republicans last Monday expected to carry it by 25000" Washington Democrat. The Republicans in Maine made

the usual contest for the control of j

the State, and instead of 17,000 they have 21,000 majority. The Republicans carried every county in the State, something never before done by any party, and a fact that shows that the gain was yen eral, and not made from any large cities or special localities. As to the Republican majority being 30,000 in 1872; if the Democaacy propose to give the Republicans all over she country the same majority as Ave had in 1872, may we ask Avhere they expect the "Democratic party to come in?

The Indianapolis Journal remarks: "The Democratic State central committee, in 1872, made a temperance campaign for Thomas A. Hendricks, circulating a document to show that he was a better temperance man than the Republican can

didate, and would approve the Bax-t

terbill. Mr. Hendricks is now, hat in hand, standing upon a whisky barrel, begging for'the whisky vote." Tub National Democratic Committee estimates the Prohibition vote in New York at 30,000." Indianapolis tientinoL Yes, and the Democratic National Committee is only sorry that it is not 500,000 not because of the success of Prohibition, but because of the aid to the Democracy, for not 1,000 out of the 500,000 of these votes would be from the Democratic party.
