RANDOM THOUGHTS No. 80.
BY THE EDITOR.

Last Saturday was day long to be remembered
in Jackson. With some misgiyings the Central
Committee called the first meeting for the cam
paign. The Committee did not order any posters,
and on Friday morning got out fifty, calling the
people together. And they came. The Jackson
Brass Band called the people together at the Mar
ket House at two o'clock. A rain came up, but
the Market House was crowded, and Mr.. Bundy
made one of the most brilliant speeches that has
been made In the State this summer. He spoke
two hours The lukewarm were revived, and the
doubling were confirmed.
At night the Band came to the Isham House,
and then went to the Market House. w. K Has
marks. George W. johnson being called for
came, and spoke one hour, although 1t was un-
derstood that no speaker should occupy more
than ten minutes. Mr.. johnson charged Mr.. Full.

Mr. Fullerton said 1t was false. After Mr. John
upon the stand. He began in a rambling manner
to define his position. called upon him to say
whether he was going to vote for Mr.. Moore. He
hesitated, and finally said he would not tell. He
then commenced finding fault with the Union and
copperhead parties when Mr.. Johnson called him
to order. Some sharp words ensued, when the
Chairman, Mr. Hastings, decided that If Mr.. Full
lerton was opposed to Congress, and was not act
ing with tine Union party he had no right to speak
at Union meeting. Mr.. Fullerton then retired
threatening that he would yet be heard before the
people.
DIR. A. B. Monalan was then called up, and sale
he was not afraid to define his position. He was
for Congress, and against Andy johnson. lie oc
cupied his time with telling remarks.
Mr. Tripp was called up and said that Mr.. Full
lerton had voted against Abraham Lincoln, anc
Mr.. Bundy and also against him, (Mr. Tripp,) anC
then he came whining around the Union conVen
ton asking to be nominated for office. Mr.. TripI
said he was proud of Mr.. Bundy, as the represen
tative from the 11th District. He had been faith
full and true.
Mr.. Burke made happy little speech, and sait
he never scratched his ticket. He said If Moor
should be elected, the Union men would be sure u
buy him, as the Republicans did in 1888. III
said $4,000 would buy him, and the money coul'
be raised.

COPPER . = OMNSON MEETING
At RERLlN.

The Demi-John-C -Cratic-son party met
at Berlin last Thursday night. o. f.
Moore made a speech. And SO did
Isaac Roberts. Our fellows behaved
badly. They hissed Mr. Roberts, and
were going in to make Mr.. Moore drink
Senator Wilson's health. Allen Austin
prevented them. These men were lately
Democrats, but have left the foul party.
One of them was an Irishman, who
probably remembered the bloody work
of Mr. Moore's party in years gone by.
We hope our friends may keep cool.
Let there be no mobs this year. They
never pay.

TOO CHEAP.

It is said that our old friend, Mr.
Fullerton, has gone over to "my policy"
in order to get the position of Deputy
Collector for this county. When pig
iron, stone coal and beef cattle were
taxed, Jackson county paid from sixty
to seventy thousand dollars year. The
per centage upon this, paid the Deputy
Collector about $4OO per year. Now,
that these articles are free, the whole
amount will not be over ten thousand
dollars per year, and the Deputy will
get about $50 or $40 per year. We dc
not know what price our friend puts upon
his consistency, his manhood and hi'
political honor, but we should have put
a higher figure upon them than tho
above amount. But he ought to know
best. .

rsrWc ask the people one question: Has any
person received injury or damage from the record
made BY Judge Stevenson Has any widow or
orphan been cheated out Of their just rights
Let the Standard answer, or forever hold lts
peace.
We find the above in Confederate
States Monahan's edition of the Ports
mouth Times. We can answer it. We
showed last week how Judge Stevenson
undertook to appoint guardian, and
failed, after t.UO attempts. That Cor
phent' was cheated out of "their" just
rights.
On the 7th day of April 1861, Judge
Stevenson undertook to issue marriage
license to Courtney Lowry, to marry
.Juniatta Smith. Rev. Z. y. Thomas, a
Baptist minister at Oak Hill, married
them. Judge Stevenson has the min
ister's name wrong, and also the names
of both of the parties. Instead ol
Thomas, he has the minister's name
Thompson. Instead of Courtney Lowry
he has it Cooslnes Lowry. Instead oI
Juniatta Smith, he has it Harretta Smith
Mr. Lowry died while in the Cd Vir'
ginia Cavalry, and his widow has beer
trying for nearly three years to get he1
bounty and pension, but cannot succeed
on account of this blunder of the Judge
See Marriage Record No. 2, Page 1856
Here is a witow who has been cheated
out of "ther" just rights. We have
no idea that Judge Stevenson intended
anything wrong. 1t was case of pure
awkwardness and incapacity. W.
believe that the Judge is perfectly hon
est in mis- intentions.

RAISING THEIR PAY.

The Democratic papers have a good
deal to say about Congress raising their
pay.
This same thing was done at the
session of 1866. Before that time
each member received eight dollars per
day. At that session, Congress raised
the pay to $4,000 per year, and that
provision applied to that same Congress,
and O. p. Moore voted to thus raise his
Own pay. We examined this matter in
the summer of 1856, in the columns Of
the Standard, and Mr.. Moore admitted
that he had done SO, to a meeting oil
Knownothings who assembled in West
falls Grove, at this place, in the fall OF
1856. Will the Portsmouth Times deny
this?

THESEW1Na OF, THE FUrURE.-T

THESEWING OF THE FUTURE.-The
days of hand sewing are numbered.
The Sewing Machine, in wonderfully
short space ftime, considering the mag
nitude of the change, and the number of
interests involved, has won its way to q
foremost position among the recognized
forces of the social and material world,
and will very soon have as entirely dis
placed thanksgiving rs railroads have
driven out the stage coaches of fifty
years ago. Only short time ago hand
sewing was still held by many to be SUI
perior to machine sewing, and certain
kinds of clothing were sometimes adver-
tised as possessing superior claims to
public favor, because executed entirely
by hand; but we never hear this now.
A good Sewing Machine is expected to
last 4 lifetime, and it is most important
in making the purchase that the right
kind should be selected, and additional
trouble and expense thereby saved.
The best machines are those which
use two threads to form the seam, and of
these the GROVER q BAKER Machine
deservedly occupies the foremost rank,
on account of its firm and elastic stitch,
its simplicity of construction, and its SUI
perior adaptability to all kinds of family
sewing. The strength and durability of
the work done by the GROVER & BAKER
Machine have materially helped to in
spire the confidence which the public
feel in the work of all good Sewing Ma
chimes. Ladies now everywhere prefer
to have their sewing executed by ma
chine, provided it is properly done, and
especially if done by the GROVER &
BAKER Observation-Disclosures.

rHrOur readers will remember in our
issue of two weeks ago notice taken
from the .Muscatine Journal, stating
that a new Boot & Shoe Establishment
was about to be opened in this town, by
Messrs. Vail & Reed. The Journal spoke
in very complimentary terms of these
gentlemen, as did also the Courier, in a
similar article. They have recently
been fitting up the room belonging to
Mr.. VIM. Bagley, situated on the south
side of the Court House square, and for
merly occupied as furniture depot The
building has been entirely refitted, and
is now one of the handsomest business
rooms in town. We are informed that
Messrs. V. & r. intend to put in COM
plete and extensive assortment of every
thing belonging to the Boot & Shoe
business and a fine assortment of Hats
and Caps. They will also pay particu-
lar attention to manufacturing. This
store will be opened for business on or
about Saturday, July 2sth, and we be-
speak for the new firm liberal share of
the patronage of the town and surround
ing country.
