E. F. DICKINSON, the Democratic
nominee for Congress in this District,
belongs to a class of local Democratic
politicians to be found in every county,
who exhaust all their mental, moral and
physical resources in the management
of campaigns for the election of road
supervisors and justices Of the peace.
They are great on the button-hole.
They excel in palaver. They have no
decided opinions, but agree with every
one with whom they talk, Did any
body ever hear FEM DICKINSON express
an open, straightforward opinion on
any political question: Not much.
But privately and secretly is there any
little meanness in politics that such
wirs=pullers will not commit?
We like fair and square opponent
We admire the man who says plainly:
"vote for me for the sake of my PRIE-
CIPLEs-for the sake of the cause I rep
resent" But We have no sympathy to
throw away on the nan who begs votes
as personal favor. What claims has
any man that he should presume to ask
vote on any other than grounds of
principlel 1t is an insult to a Repub-
hcan to ask him to vote for DICKINSON
because he is a good fellow, or a fellow
townsman. WHAT ARE HIS PRINCIPLES
is the answer that should follow the re-
quest He may be a good fellow, a
smart fellow and all that sort of thing /;
but BE IS NOT A REPUBLICAN,, and there
fore has no claims on Republican vote,
We do not make these remarks un-
der the apprehension that any sincere
Republican will go for the Democratic
nominee for Congress. But it is well
enough to understand that our oppon-
ents have the efrontery to ask Repub-
licans to belle their principles and vote
for him as personal favor! Out upon
such unmanlinessI The greatest per-
sOnal favor even any political friend of
Judge DICKINSON can do for him, is to
vote to KEEP HIM AT HOME.

DastardIy Outrage in Sandusky.
DEMOCRATIC ROWDIEs.
GENERAL GIBSON STONED.
A Republican Meeting Broken
UD.


One of the most disgrsceful and dastardly
acts of the campaign was perpetrated by the
Democracy of sandusky City last Monday
evening. Gen. GIBSON attempted to speak
in the Fifth Ward of that city, and was set
upon by Democratic rOwdies with stones,
brickbats and other missiles and prevented
from holding the meeting. Several men
who were listening to him were hit and
badly hurt by the stones. We hear that
Gen. GIBioS himself was repeatedly struck
with the flying missiles, while he was at
tempting to speak. The only excuse offered
for this outrageous act is that the Fifth
Ward is Democratic, and that the Republi-
cans had no right to hold meeting there
For the same reason the rebels of Georgia
butchered the Republicans st Camilla.
This outrage will swell Gen. G1BsON' 8
majority not only in riecounty, but in the
entire District

A RUSSIAN traveller on leaving KoDigs-

A CALIFORNIA paper makes the pathetic
announcement that ''Old Buffalo, horse
taken to that state in I845 by Charles
ROther, died at Honeycut, Butte county, on
the 7th instant, aged thirty three years.
Buffalo" was probably the oldest horse in
the state, and came from the Mississippi
valley about the same time that many
noted pioneers arrived.

UPoN the nomination of Seymour
and Blair gold advanced in New York
to 1 1901 30. The result of the Yer
mont election put it down to 1 46, and
since the Maine election it has fallen to
I4l8. Thus as the people see Sey-
mours prospects declining, greenbacks
advance, and the credit Of the United
States in London improves. Business
men are also in better spirits. There
has been a marked improvement since
the Maine election. From these facts
the effect of Grants election upon the
business of the country and the credit
of the Government may be inferred.
