THE PRosPEcTs.-If the Republican
party of Ohio turn out to the coming cleo
ton as well as their political opponents
usually. do, their State Ticket is safe BY l5
to 20 thousand majority. fit is defeat
ed, il will be by the stay y-at- home policy Of
Republican voters. We have the best as
surances from other parts of the State that
the Republicans there are doing their duty.
Republicans of Holmes are you preparing
to do yours. Spend day or Two before
the election in visiting and talking with
your neighbors. Urge upon them the i'm.
portance of selecting the best men for the
various Offices TO be filled this fall. Con.
trast the characters, the qualification of the
men brought forward by the two parties
for the several offices.
Republicans of Holmes, this request is
not made of one, but all. Go to work
now. Your principles are those best cal
culated to promote the interest Of your
country, then labor earnestly for the sue
cess. The men on your State Ticket are
all worthy of your support. Your county
ticket is an excellent one. There are nc
rum bruisers on ii, no revilers at religion
and religious things, none that lend thei
influence and their money to the cause O
immortality and intemperance, and every
thing else that is peruicious TO good socie-
ty, to the promotion of the welfare and
happiness of their fellow men here and
hereafter. Go to work at once. Do what
you can to elect these men, your duty done,
you could not have done more, you should
not do less. .

E Some three months since Mr.. ]. A.
EsTILL purchased the Holmes County
Farmer and took charge of its Editorial
department. For fear that his character
and talents should be misapprehended we
give below two extracts from that paper of
Sept. %. More of like character might be
given, but these two will serve for samples
Street Coloquy.-Hallol Bill, do YOU
know how can raise the wind?
Yes, get Caskey to flop his ears.
Tomb Stones.-J. Eberhardt d Co. have
on hand a very fine assortment of Tomb
Stones which they propose 10 sell cheap.
A very beautiful one, now in the shop, has
been selected by our neighbor Caskey of
the Republican. 1t will bear the follow
ing inscription:
JOHN CAsKEY, WHO WAS BORN, LIVED AND DIED.
Tread lightly DER my pussy form,
My tub of CUTS SO tender;
But build huge castles on my head,
My skull will prop them under.

One vote.

Republicans of Holmes, remember the
the Importance of one vote. One vote on
two or three occasions has elected Gov
ernor, and on innumerable occasions has
elected other officers of trust. Let not a
vote stay at home then that you can by
any means get to the polls. Your political
opponents alaoays hare full vote. I'm
itate their example in this respect, this
fall! Have carriages and other convey
ances in readiness to bring up the luke
warm and the aged voter. Let none stay
at home that you know will vote for Free
doms Cause! Go TO work, get ready

Another Plot TO Defeat the Adj
mission of Kansas.

The President and Secretary of the Kan
sas Constitution Convention, who, with
the Governor, are constituted by the con-
stitution an election board to receive re-
turns of the vote of the people upon the
constitution, have issued their proclama-
ton for an election in accordance with the
constitution and the election laws of the
Territory on the first Tuesday of October,
for the purpose of enabling the voters of
the territory to express their approval or
disapproval Of the state constitution. Gov.
Medary was absent from the Territory aud
his name does not appear in the proclama-
ton; but his Secretary, Hugh s. Walsh,
has issued different proclamation with
different instructions for holding the cleo
tion. If Gov. Medary sanctions this, it
will show clearly that the administration
is determined to defeat the admission Of
Kansas by any means possible. The Wy
andot constitution creates board Of can
vassers, composed of the President and
Secretary of the Convention, and the Gov
ernor. The Convention had supreme con
troll over all matters pertaining to the Con-
stitution. The Governor has no au thority
over it excepta as a member of the board Of
csnvassers, and it would be high handed
move, and of a piece with all the policy Of I
the administration toward Kansas, for the.
Governor to override the majority of tho
board and get up conflicting election, to
furnish an excuse to the democracy for op-
posing the admission Of this State, which
it is already foregone conclusion Is not to
be admitted into the Union excest against
the whole power Of the administlation,-

EEThe WAYNE County Democrat

Ey-The Wayne County Democrat,
gives as a reason why Col. EAsoN does
not accept the challenge of R. R. GALLEY,
that "Col. EAsoN has other duties to per-
form than peddling BOB GAILY through
the country to give him character" This
may do for the Democrat to .ell, but where
the two men are known, it will be believed
that Col. EAsoN declines, because he kaoys
R. R. GALLEY to be more than match
for him.

Ey The exemption of New Orlear

Gg The exemption of New Orleans,
during the present year, from yellow fever,
has given great impetus to building oper-
ations in that city. 1t appears from a
statement in the Daily Crescent that the
buildings erected or commenced, but not
finished, during the year ending the a1st
ult., are estimated to cost S2,73O,293, of
which $S75,OOO is on dwellings. The
Crescent says there is scarcity of work
men, and the wages paid are higher than
for many years past. Material is also very
high.

saltcreek Township Fair.

The citizens of Saltcreek township, in
this county, may well be proud Of their first
Fair. 1t was well attended, and The show
of cattle, horses, sheep and other live stock,
was as good as is usually seen at County
Fairs. The Ladies Department was by no
means neglected, but was one of the at
tractiye features of the Fair. The wealth
er was unpropitious, but notwithstanding
every one of the large crowd il attend
ance seemed happy and went home pleased.
This was their first Fair, and was satisfac-
tory, but they will do better next time.

Keep it Before the People.

That the two years the Republicans had
the entire control of.the State Government,
that they not only paid all the current ex-
penses of the State-but actually paid of
over half million of dollars of debt en-
tailed upon them by the Locofoco party.
Keep it Before the People,
That in 1850 the taxes of the People of
Ohio were 1927, sos, and that the De-
moeracy by their extravaganza gradually
increased them, so that in 1854 there was
collected from the taxpayers of this State
the enormous sum of nine millions ninety
two thousand three hundred and thirty
nine dollars! Here is conclusive evidence
that the sham Democracy knew how to
"cHARGE" upon the Treasury.
Keep it Before the People.
That in erecting the State House and Asy
lums, the sham Democratic leaders feeced
the people out of two hundred and sirty
seven thousand dollars in awarding fat con-
tracts to party pets. All this was proven
BY Committee, the witnesses testifying
under the solemnity of an oath.
Keep it Before the People,
That it was the Republican Legislature
that passed the Law which enables the
Farmer Merchant or Mechanic to deduct
his debts from his credits in listing his
property for taxation. This is a just law.
and the people are indebted to the Repub-
lican Legislature two years ago for its pass
age.
Keep it Before the People.
And remember it at the Polls, that the
Republican party is in favor of a reduction
of the salaries Of all officers tDenty flee
per cent-and if they get in power, they
will pass such laws as to reduce the taxes

exploded all Of her boilers ut New Madrid, on
the Mississippi, last Friday morning, killing the
engineer and fatally woundiug six Or seven 9th.
crs. The explosion was 10 terrific that the boat
was literally blown to pieces, aud sunk almost
immediately. She disappeared forever, leaving
nothing but shattered wreck upon the waters.
The engineer on duty, who was killed, was
blown ~ or 50 yards into the river. edid not
hear his name. Some si1 or eight Of this crew
were most terribly scalded and wounded. with
but slight hopes of the recovery OF two Of them.
A lady on the boat was thrown into the river by
the force Of the explosion, but was saved from
drowning by the officers Of the boat.
The Michigan was an old boat, engaged ut the
time a. Z TOW. .boat, towing barge laden with
hay, and wharf boa, from keofuk. She WIS
on her way from St. Louis to Memphis, and had
just rounded ont from New Madrid, Friday
morning, when the explosion occurred.
The boats she ives towing we're comparative
II nuinjured, and were the means Of rescue to
the survivors Of the wreck. II they had not
been alongside, the loss Of life would have been
much greater. The cause Of the disaster was
not stated, but it cau be clearly attributable to
negligence and old boilers. The Law cannot be
too rigidly enforced upon persons running old
