Douglasitss undertook to get up grand demon-

-" the longest pole knocks down the most per-
simmons" Douglas was On high box, With a
good sized pole ia bis hands. but he was not
able to touch single persimmon with the end
Of his pole. He was apparently willing enough,

Mr.. J. D. Fletcher, of Osksloosa, Iowa, who
has until now been strong Douglas man,
through the columns Of the Oskaloosa Herald,
announces himself for Lincoln. The Herald,
says Nr. F. is one Of the most intelligent, saga
cious and respected citizens
| ANOTHER An enthusiastic Republican rati-
ficstion meeting was held at New Oregon, lows,
last week, which was addressed By Nj. Burt, OF
| Dubuque, and others. The Repu5liodn says
<Ar: Burr; made one Of ths most able appeals
we have ever listened to. he was formerly q
Democrat, but he was unable 10 harmonic
Popular Sovereignty and Dred Scot, and
came ont an ardent supporter of Honest Old
Abe. He il one OF the closest reasoners and
most eloquent political speakers in The State

FOR TIE 1Esui& story has been goine
the rounds Of she Democratic papers to the eff
feet, that in conversation between Peter Car,
wright and somebody elze, on the cars, some
time during the month Of May, the Reverend
gentleman il represented As saying, ~ have
myself twice run in opposition to Nr. Lincolr
for = seat in the Legislature Of Illinois, ani
beaten him both times-and can do It again if
will" The Alton Courier has put the following
extinguisher upon this silly story,
This is piling it on little too steep, and i
may be well 10 ret the story 1t rest, once ant
forall. The fact is that Mr. Cartwright, accord
ing to bis own Autobiography, ran only twice
for the Legislature, namely, in 1926 and 1927
Ut which tune Mir. Lincoln was II or IS years o
age. So that story won't 60 down.
Oa1o.-The "back.bone" Democracy give,
way. The Dtzo1ut. the old organ of the Starl
County Democracy, already declares for Dreel
and Lane, and We believe the Democratic Cen
| tral Committee Of that County indorse such &c
lion. In gil probability similar action will X
place in Wayne, Knox aud other old Democrat
ic counties Of interior Ohio. The "irrepfcssf
bic saaah" now seems to be very near. -
SorHno New Uxpra TIE Srs.-The mos
careful readers Of the Scripture have sometime
remarked that no matter how carefully or fre
quently they have studied the Bible, they ar
sure to dnd something nev-.thRt is, new Il
