An attack on John T. Wilson accusing him of paying voters two dollars a head in Vinton county two years ago and again at the State Convention.

The ballot admonishes voters not to scratch any names or vote for a ticket bearing four radicals. It urges careful examination of the vote to avoid supporting a counterfeit ticket and stresses accuracy in selecting the intended names.
The note warns Democrats to vote next Tuesday and denounces Radical leaders for trading votes to elect Felton. It alleges Wilson and McDowell are offered for Felton’s gain, claiming the drive stems from desire to control county money during hard times.
Across Ohio Democrats express confident optimism for a complete victory next Tuesday. The call urges united, effective organization and firm belief in democracy to redress current burdens and secure a favorable outcome.
A biased letter accuses Democrats of secret tactics to defeat the party and favor Felton for Treasurer, urging Daniel Booth for Sheriff. It contrasts a planned courthouse speech by John T. Wilson with alleged Radical overspending, land policies, and bond funding, accusing the opposition of corruption and misleading voters.

Includes notices on Coroner candidate Dr. John Bishop, unclaimed letters, and a county real estate table.
