Will Ton Come to the Farewell Party?
ltev. Wm. Martin and Latlv will meet tholr
numerous friends In ttio busnment rooms of
the M. E Church, on Friday evening tho lath
lint., to there bid them a final good bye,
Rev. Martin hus labored hard wHU, and for
us, during tho threo years of his sojourn
among us, and through bis strenuous eftorts,
with the earnest co-operation and sympathy
of the citizens of Ridgway, has been enabled
to build a church for us, which for years shall
stand as a lasting reminder of the success of
his labors, and now as bo Is about to go forth
to other fields tho enrni'Kt solicitude for his
future success.as munlfcxted by the numerous
Inqurlcs as to his probitljli; location the com
ing conference year, nhow a Just appreciation
of his valuable service hero.
While wo express our sympathy for lilin,
and which sympathy by himself ;nil wife Is
fully appreciated and reciprocated. It does not
pay In full the debt of gratitude we owe him.
More substantial favors still nro duo him.
Sympathy lightens the burdens of llfo but
It does not always pay our debts.
In view of the many expressions of regard
we feel safe In tho assurance that when the
exact statement of thenrruurugc on RevMar
tln's salary Is presented to tho people that
they will heartily respond to the. cull for aid
ns mado by the M. E. Church Itourd, thereby
supporting tho character for noble liberality
In affuirs of this kind which they have hith
erto maintained,
On his advent hero thero was held In the
old court houso a meeting of the citizens
when they voted to pay htm a salary ofSlSUO
dollars por year and muko of Ridgway a
Station, thereby securing preaching twice
each Sabbuth, morning and evening.
When n movement was made first to build
ft church Rev. Murtln voluntarily gave of his
fi rst two years salary 8100,00 per year. At the
completion of the church he presented to It
tho beautiful organ which now decorates thn
orchestra; to the excellent tones of which we
have so often llutencd, paying for It, with the
exceptions of a few small coiitrlbutions.out of
his own funds,
Now friends as ho has labored so royally for
us let us work loyally for hlra and In the
farewell visit proposed lot us, bring our part
ing gifts, of money, mcrchautablo goods, gro
ceries, Sx, and have un old fashioned dona
tion; a plcnxunt social visit.
We nro aware that many have nobly res
ponded to tho solicitations of the officers hav
ing in chnrgo tho tlnunclal ultalrs of the
Church. For this and your kind sympathy
pleuso accept our hearty and sincere thanks.
If any are In arrears for subscription made;
If any feel that they can give more; If all
wish to give abonctlt to Mr, Martin and lot
htm go from our midst freed from the night
mare of debt, let us rally once again and
pay our Just obligations. Any person wlsn-
Ign to see the amount already mi sod can do so
by calling on Jas. Fentlcld, tho Treasurer, who

that it went Demcratic in 1874 by

ANOTHER LETTER FROM A BROOKLYX
DEMOCRATIC EDITOR.
Ovid, Michigan Sept. 1, 1876.
Demas Barnes, Esq.
Dear Sir: Inclosed please find a
slip containing an artlole purporting
to bo a letter from yourself to tbe
editor of the Ohio State Journal.
It baa been read by many Demo
crats of this section, and by a large)
majority of them Js pronounced
campaign fraud, for the reason that It
has been published generally through
the Republican press of the State and
not at all in the Democratic.
Thero aro many honest Democrats
in this section of the State, and in this
particular section, who expect to vote
for Tilden, but would not do so could
they be convinced that tbe charges la
this article were true; and several of
them have requested me to write you
and ask tho following questions, an
answer to which would greatly ob
lige all of us:
1. Are you tho author of tbe in
closed article, and did you write it to
tbe editor of tbe Ohio State Journal
for publication?
2. Do youj know prsltivcly that
these charges against Tilden are true?
Hoping that you will take tbe time
to answer these questions in the inter,
est of true reform, I remain you, re
spectfully, Lewis C. Mead.
MR. BARNES' REPLY.
Brooklyn, Sept. 21, 1878.
Lewis C BIfcad, Chairman, etc.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 18th.
inst, .making certain political in
quiries, was duly received. Hdst of
the facts in relation to Governor Til
den's public career have been set forth
in the Brooklyn Argvra, and some of
them were repeated in my lettr to
the Ohio State Journal, of which you
make mention. I have spoken in tho
interest of the country, and in tbe in
ttrcst of tho Democratic party.
I supported Mr Tilden for Governor
two years ago, his record then being
unknown. His majority in the State
was a little over 38,000. Over one
third of this majority m given in
this city, where tho Argus is pub
lished. The Democratic party is in tho
minority in the county. To succeed
it has to earn the confidence of tbe
people and secure Republican votes.
With M'Clellan as a military candi
date in 1864, we were beaten by 411,
000 majority. In 1868 we nominated
our ablest statesman, Horatio Sey
mour. Again we were beaten by 400,
000 majority. In 1872 our leaders de
cided to nominate a Presidential can
didate from within the Republican
ranks. But with Mr. Greeley and an
inconsistent platform wo fared worse
than before, and came out 702,000
votes behind our opponents.
With theso results staring us in the
face, it behooved the Democrats at
this time to liavo a consistent platform
and nominate men whose integrity of
character would recommend them to
the conscience of the people. Mr. Til
den's character had become well
known to the leaders prior to tho St.
Louis Convention. Ho was repudia
ted by Charles O'Conor, Horatio Sey
mour, Chief Justice Church, Judge
Parker, Augustus Schell, and tho best
men of his party in this State. But
he made his arrangements with tho
plunderers of our State. He packed
the State Convention by tho use of
Executive influence and througcxten
sive advertising in tho Southern
Stales he succeeded in securing the
nomination.
The Democrats could bavo carried
all but six of the States, and would
have swept Grantlsm out of existenoo
w ith almost any other candidate than
Tilden. An aspirant for the high
position of President must always face
his antecedents. Mr Tilden's ante
cedents are now spread beforo the
world. I regret to say that they are
worse than those of Aron Burr, or
those of any man who ever beforo
sought high office in this country.
Ho is corrupt, ambitious, unscrupu
lous and despotic. Ho virtually op
posed feeding our soldiers during the
war by making false returns of bis in
come and refusing to pay bis taxes.
He was a member of the committee on
resolutions at tbe Chicago Convention
in 1804, which reported the resolution
"Wo demand a cessation of hostili
ties." He defrauded the Government
by issuing illegal currency on the Up
per Michigan peninsula, and secured
exemption from his penalties and
taxes by smuggling a "relief" bill
through Congress. He was the head
of the great Northwestern Railroad
ring, which led to the granger rebel
lion, and was compelled by a decision
of the United States Supremo Court
to restore over $2,000,000 of stock
wrongfully taken from Julius Wads
worth and other owners of the Galena
fc Chicago Railroad. He was asso
ciated with Tweed's ringinNew York
City, and received compensation by
under assessment of his property, etc.
These are a few of the transactions
in tbe career of our candidate, which,
if endorsed by a majority of the
American peoplo by electing Tilden
as President will undermine tho in
tegrity of our party, and open tho
door for ambitious and unprincipled
villains to overthrow our institutions.
The Democratic party cannot afford
success at any such eaerittco of ita
principles.
Grant is not now a candidate, tic
and his first, second, and third choice
were beaten at the Cincinnati Con
vention. But were Grant a candidato
the country could better bear another
four years of bis administrative rulo
tbab it could, the tyranny of an un
principled man like Tilden, who
would owe his election, if elected, to
the corrupt plunderers in the North
and tbe rebels in the South. Res-'
pectfully.
