A WORD Of. suggestion.

Let all Democrats remember that the glori-
Gus triumph which they have just achieved,
is only the beginning of the great work which
they have to do. We have, in this State, 70
elect a Governor and Democratic Legisla-
ture, before reform can be effected We must
clean out the State House, which is now more
long, sad, calamitous years, the Republicans
exception of one Democratic Legislature
Now let us keep the ball rolling Let us
make clean sweep, Let US put honest,
capable, faithful men in power, aud drive
forever from place the infamous horde who
are ruling and running the peoples Logan

A Woman n removed From once

Miss Hannah N Stewart Posimistress at
Tyrone, in this State has been removed from
office, and James Plummer, Republican pol,
itcan, appointed in her place. Plummer
probably desired to escape the draft, and so
sought and obtained the Office. Miss Stewart
is the daughter of poor widow, whom she
supported by means of the small proceeds of
this Office, her two brothers being in the army.
Let James Plummer of Tyrone, Pennsylvar
MIA, be heralded to the world as he deserves,
and let not the present ,'no,partyp be deprived
Of whatever beReft is due for the magnani-
nous, noble act OF removing Miss Stewart to
make way for this uhselfsh patriot. ~ Indiana

four thousand persons were in attendance.

banners, and devices, headed by the Rich

streets, the air was made to resound with
the shouts of the people and the thunders
Of artillery.
At about IL o'clock the procession was
marched to spacious building south Of

and dedicated the Temple of Democra-
cy." The building was beautifully and
tastefully decorated with flags and devices
of various kinds, bearing appropriate and
patriotic mottoes. The building, capable
of holding three thousand people, was
crowded to its utmost, and thousands were
unable to gain entrance. The fair daugh-
ters Of Indiana were out in large numbets,
and lent their smiles and beaming faces to
give cheerfulneSs to the occasion. God
bless the Democratic women all through
the campaign, in the struggle for constitu-
tionAl liberty. they exhibited as much
earnestness and concern as the men, and
now that the contest is over and the victory
complete, they have right to rejoice with
us. The patriotic deeds of the women Of
the Revolution adom the brightest pages
in the history Of our country, and the wo.
men of to-day are not behind them in pat.

the boundless mercies and loving kindness of

commonwealth, and to whose service they
consecrated their lives and devoted their pos
terity.

the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all l."
He Is the sovereign commander of all the
world, in whose hand is power and might,
which none is able to withstand" and to Him
only belong descriptions of Glory, who is ''the
only giver Of Victory" Let our hearts there
fore, ascend,-higher than all the interests
that entange, all the doubts that bewlder, the
passions shat ensnare, and the prejudices that
obscure-cOnsenting to be led, illumined and
governed by His infinite intelligence and love.

beautiful devotion with which her daughters
have given the dearest offerings of their
hearts to the support of their country and for
the defence Of humanity.
Let us not forget the bountiful bestowments
of the year, filling the granares of the hus-
bandman, and rewarding the toll of the labor

our people No pestilence hath lurked in the
darkness of night, nor assaled us in the light
