The above table shows the estimate
which is put upon the candidates at
home, in their respective counties. Gov
ernor MEDILL has received a majority in
the county where he resides (Fair6eld);
he has carried Chase's county (Hanil-
ton) three to one, and beat TRIMBLE in
his county (Highland). TRIMBLE beats
CHASE in Highland, and has a large plur-
atty ovel him in Hamilton. MBDILL
and TRIMBLE both seem to have perso-
nal popularity, but CHASE has {.
Even in the precinct where be resides
(Cliftonl he was beaten two to one by
Governor MED1LL. There is a very gen.
eral distrust of the political honesty of
CHASE by those who are Intimately ac-
quainted with him, and we hazard little
in saying that if he had been as well
known all over the State as he is at home
he would have obtained a meager show,
indeed, of the votes of the people.

Dobbin, Secretary of the Navy, has
addressed a letter to Lieut.. Hartstein,
Commander of the Arctic Expedition
for the relief of DIR. Kane, thanking him
in very complimentary terms for the
service he has rendered. We quote this
paragraph:-"And now, after the lapse
of less than five months, you have pene-
trated further into the dangerous regions
of the Arctic than any navigator, (save
only DR.. Kane himself,) triumphing over
the shocks of icebe1gs and the dangers
of that inhospitable part of the globe,
and you now return, having accomplish

accept youraelf, and present to those who
we're your companions, my sincere con-

Ashland County Fair.

Last week we spoke of ourFair without
giving any of the particulars. The Fair
consisted of Riding on Horseback, Mans
fields Glover Huller, which took the
premium, three Pumpkins, two Squashes,
twelve common sized potatoes, some
flowers, two dozen large apples and sew
eral other articles in proportion, iDclud-
ing a specimen of printing from the
Times office, which the Committee had
no authority to notice for the reason that
it was not embraced within the Premium
List. The receipts were not sufficient
to pay the Premiums. The "exorbitant
printing bills" were paid, If u Fair
next year will be as good, the present
Treasurer Mr.. OSBORN, will be in town
with a "poeket full of rocks" We think
the "cxorbitant printing bills" charged
have been the means of running the
AshlandConnty Fair, "into the ground. !"

EE Why was there no notice given
when the election for officers sc. for the
Ashland County Fair was to take place?
How many were present when the pres
ent Board were elected and where and
when did it take lace? What was the
exact amount of the "ezorhitant printing
bills" paid the Times of6ssa If the
Democratic Farmers of Ashland County
~patronize a Wing Fair, controlled, with
one exception by Wings, We are much
mistaken. A majority of the members
are Democrats, yet they have but one
member of the present Board. There
is no Disgusting the fact that our Fair
has been perverted and prostituted for
the benefit of the Fusion party. -Unless
there is a reorganization, all hope of a

numerous inquiries from many members,

lection of officers was to be held but
none but the chosen few-the elect,
could find out.

The Missing Aeronaut.

1t makes one shudder to think of the
probable fate of Mr.. Winchester, who
went up in a balloon from Norwalk, HUI
ron County, on the I'd inst. Over two
weeks have elapsed and no tidings have
as vet reached his family at Milan of
his fate. Whether frozen to death in
upper air and thus dashed to earth, or
buried in the deep bosom of the lake,
no word has come to tell. While we
wonder at his temerity, we must pity his
probably sad fate. Yet there is hope
still, as when he was last seen his airy
vessel was waited toward the North,
sufficiently inflated, as We are told by
the Norwalk papers, for a voyage OF
from two to three days. May be he
landed in Canada, SO far from railroads
and telcgraphs as to prevent tidings yet
reaching his home. 1t is but a hope,
however.

In view of this tremendous reaction
in favor of National Democratic princi-
Plies, since tho disastrous elections of
1854, the Enquirer we'll and truly re-
marks: cit is now apparent to every
intelligent man that the Democrats
will elect the President in 1856. As
the only national party in the field, they
will sweep the entire country, The
opposition, sectional in it's nature, divi-
ded and broken, dispirited by defeat,
can make no Roadway against our tri-
umphant columns. Whoever the Dem
ocratic National Convention designates
will be the next President of the United
States. The political sky is now as
bright for us as it was for the opposition
a year ago. Most truly can We say
Now is the winter of our descontent
made glorious summer"

The increase vote over last year in
these sixty-seven counties is less than
1000. The whole vote of the State,
we are now satisfied, will not be over
sos 900, about $4,000 short of a full
vote. Chase's majority in the State will
be about 10000 We should not be
surprised now to see Trimble's vote run
up to %, 900, placing Chase in the minor
ity 5000. The rest of the Abolition
State ticket willshaye about &c, 900 ma

Our Rusiness Hereafter.

Although it is cur intention to de-
vote most of our time to the practice
of Law, yet our numerous readers. and
friends will be glad to learn that it is
our positive intention to spend a portion
of our time in literary pursuits. There
is much concerning the " re spectacle
c~Itizens of Ashland I" which remains un
written We have made arrangements
with an al eastern publishing house to
publish, a biography of the noted La
FAYETTE JEFFERSON SPREN-
GLE, embracing twenty years of his
life spent in Ashland. The author has
mo hesitation in saying that the morals
of the youth aud middle aged of this
State will be vastly improved by this
work. The success of this wonderful
man in the Land Warrant business will
be fully explained, in order that the
rising generation may know how to get
Land Warrants for much below what
they are worth, by simply saying to the
applicant that it may be a great Will e
before the Warrant will come, but that
the applicant can have $3.50 for a l6oacre
Warrant, and he will run the risk of
getting it. What q kind, benevolent
man.
Upon the whole, we think the vast
fund of information this Book will fur
nish on the subject of cheating the SOL
disr who has Sc: we'd his country, out of
his small allowance, given to him by his
country in his old age. will more than
compensate the author for the time and
; expense necessary to the completion Of
a Work of such fearful magnitude!
It might be proper to state, that the
Ashland Insurance Company, for the
love they have for LAFAYETTE, have
kindly consented to insure this Work in
order that the present generation may
say to those who follow Us
We leave you here a little book
For you to look upon.
That youmay see our SEcRETXzY's face,
When he is dead and gone.

meeting has recently been heldin Bos-

the extortion of Butcher and baker mo-
nopolies of that city. The presidents of
the meeting stated that he bad been in
formed by butchers that beef which costs
them 81 cents per pound on foot is worth
81 cents when dressed, and yet he had
been assured that the pieces purchased
for roasting at the fremont and Revere
House had cost those establishments 20
cents per pound during the last six
months.
The speaker also exhibited a couple
of loaves of bread. one of which he paid
five cents for, a very meagre loaf-and
the other a loaf of generous size, which,
he said, could be sold for FIVE cents, and
leave = margin of so per cent. profit to
the bakers. Over these loaves the
speaker recited the speech of Mark An
thony over the body of Caesar, closing
as follows =" Here are these dumb
@loayes; let them speak to you" This
was a palpable hit, and elected a round
of ~applause.1
In closing his remarks he recommend
ed the formation of a combination to op-
pose the combination now existing, or in
other words, to organize a Joint Stock
Commercial House for the protection of
the people against the present monop-

commenced by taking up the resolutions
of the State Convention of the 29tb of

Democratic party occupied the true
position upon all the questions therein.
While he strongly disapproved of the

took to show that a faithful execution

He commended the Administration of

The Democratic Party Dead, is it?

Locofocoism is dead-absolutely
dead.-C LevelanG Leader.
The above interesting piece of intelli-
gepce is from the G eveland Leader
1t is not the first time that our enemies
have pronounced the Democratic party
dead. But how the Leader, can have
the face to make such a declaration in
view of the present election returns, IS
more that we can understand. Within
the last year the Democrats have gain
ed over $4,000 in this State.
In Hamilton County there is a Demo-
cratic gain of 1,600
In Montgomery, $500
In franklin, 1900
In Licking, $500
In Cuyahoga. 1900
and in the majorities Of the other coun-
ties in the State, there has been a sim
liar Democratic gain to proportion to the
vote cast
The "Locofoco" party is dead, is it ?
That does not look like an Immediate
decease. The gain this fall, is the great
est ever known in the State. At this
rate by another year, this " Locofoco .
party will totally anninilate the opposi-
ton. It is a part of fusion policy to
cry /" dead " every time they gain, a
little, the ascendcncy. Its principles
are enduring as the eternal rock, and
it will live and flourish long after the
piebald and molly opposition, with its
bargains, and secret councils and mid
night caucuses, is swept from the earth
and forgotteu.--Portag Sentinel.
