suddenly she darted into "the little

apron.
He could not see what it was, but he

THE ELECTIoN.-CAUsE WHICH
LED TO THE DEFEATOF THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY.

AS our readers have already been in
formed, tie late election in this county
resulted disastrously TO the Republican
Party. Every officer, both county and
state. with The solitary exception Of recor
der, have eenitaken from the Sham De,
mocracy.
We will not disguise the fact that we are
chagrined at the result-a result however,
which, taking all things into considera-
ton could not have been well otherwise.
The action OF our last Republican Legis
laiure, although pledged to retrench en'
and reform, holding on TO the old sala-
ries. and making an extra session when but
one was in fact needed-the robbery OF
the State Treasury by John G. Breslin.
and the completely therein Of w IF. Glib.
son, in his having concealed for over one
year the Gefalcation, and which stealing
and hiding were charged to the account
Of the Republicans, by an unscrupulous
press, and lying brood Of stumpers-
the great commercial panic-the suspen-
sion and breaking of banks, the legitimate
result of Loco Foco Free Trade-the
Union Of the entire Pro Slavery element
of the State. in the democracy and what
the Union in its FIRST number styled the
conservative clement" to wit: Know
Nothingism, and what some of our Iichts
Wissern facctiously called the "balance
Of power" on some Of the main caus-
es that led to the defeat of the party in
this county, and perhaps in the State.
We deplore the result not so much on
our account, as that the men nominated
by the Republicans. were men of integ-
rity-men Of high moral character. and
had they been elected would have been a
credit to themselves aud the county
while on the other hand, the elected are
well we will spare our animadversions.
and once more quote the Union who, when
speaking OF the nomination said ''Mey
,eers all gentlemen of established reputa-
tion." Our opinion in toto. SO we drop
that part Of the subject.
Republicans Of Wyandot county, we
have met the enemy, and we are theirs!
The majority Of you fought manfully to
the last. and had the few who left the
county on business, or stayed away from
the polls, for reasons of their own, came
up and voted the result ,oould have been
different. We are satisfied that the Re-
publicans have majority in Little Wy
andot if they will but all turn out.
Let this be your motto while pushing
forward in the cause of human freedom
and equal rights beaten but not dismay
ed, and in the language Of the Scottish
Douglas, let us say. "aCe 6ide o7fr f;Dae. -

MARRIED.

On the Doth Of Aug last, in California, by
Judge Hall, Dr.. JOSIAH EARL, and MISS ADG.
LA T. CHAFFEE, formerly Of Upper Sandusky
Miss CHAFEE left us about the 1st OIL
May last, to join brother on the Pacific
coast, and it appears that she found a
husband in the short space of three
months after bidding farewell to her nu-
merous friends here. Well the DR.. has
taken to himself very worthy young Ia
dy, and We wish them both all the hap.
piness in their new relation, this world
affords.

The Pioneer Shall it be Sustained.


The result of the late election (eyery
man in Wyandot county understand this
fact) has taken from the Pioneer the little
county patronage it has had during the
two years last past, and it must therefore
depend solely upon its subscription list
and advertising for its support. These at
present are not sufficient. Our subscrip-
tion list is comparatively but small, and
much of that, Of necessity is not paid in
advance. The bulk of the advertising
comes in store pay, good pay enough as
far as our family is concerned. but our
rents. paper, ink, hired help, etc., have
to be paid cash.
We state these facts that the republi-
cans Of this county may understand how
we are situated. We are no beggar-we
solicit nothing at the hand of any man as
mere charity, but if they wish Repub.
lican paper printedin tbis county-il
they believe the interests of the county,
the people and the party, demand that a
republican paper should be printed in Up
per Sandusky, each republican has only
to do his duty and the thing can be
done.
We are willing to give the Republicans
our labor, time and talents, such as they
are, free gratis for nothing, and all we
ask in return is, that the Pioneer office
shall pay its own expenses, support our
self and family as comfortably and dc.
Gently as any other man. who earns his
bread with the sweat of his brow.
The Republican party on the 18th inst
polled nearly 1900 otes,and out of those
1900, three out Of every FIVE are able tc
take the Pioneer and pay for it in ad.
vance. Should this be done the Pioneer
will sustain itself without being 9 bur.
den to any one, for we believe there is not
man Or woman in the county but what
can obtain Al least. the worth OF tie price
OF subscription. We ask then that eve
ry republican sees to it. that bis neighbor
takes the Pioneer. Next week or al
soon as possible We will issue circulars tc
every subscriber making each and ev.
cry one an agent to see what can be
done in the way Of getting Subscribers.

Broke .Iail.

About seven D clock P. M. on Monday
last. the burglar brought here for safe
keeping. from Crawford county, and an
Irshman in Jail for an attempt to commit
rape, broke jail and escaped. The Will
ians sawed off six 3-4 inch iron bolts that
secured the iron bar that formed the
catch for the lock, pushed the door open
and walked out. Sheriff Nelson gave the
alarm immediately. but as the night was
stormy and pitchy dark, they succeeded
in making good their escape, and have
not been heard from since.

Van Trump for Payne.

The Ohio State Journal says that Van
Trump, the American candidate for Gov
was active all day on Tues. at his home
at Lancaster for Payne. It is doubtful
whether Van Trump will have over 5000
votes in the State. As party, it is fasl
passing away-the pro slsvery going O.
to the democracy and the freedom loving
portion, joining the party OF freedom.

changes the tables complete. 1t says
that Payne's majority in Monroe is only

This is pronounced positively reliable,
and if it is SO, it places Chase some six or
seven hundred anead, according to the
Democratic count. The official returns
can hardly change this result.
