We appeal thus early to our friends in al
parts of the State to send in the returns o
next Mondays election at the earliest urac
ticable moment. The newspapers canno
publish them unless they are first furnished
and they will not be furnished unless some
body in every locality makes it his especial
business to attend to it, The readers of this
and other papers will be greatly disappointed
Tuesday morning if the published returns are
not full and explicit; but how can such re-
suit be obtained unless somebody in every
town personally attends to the business of
forwarding the same. Editors are not ubiqui-
tous. They must rely for news of this char
acter upon the enterprise and public spirit of
their friends. Those living off the line of the
railroad and telegraph can render the public
signal service by getting the returns from
their immediate vicinity and sending them to
the nearest railroad or telegraph station. Do
not forget in your anxiety to hear from other
places, that other people are anxious to hear
from you. Send in the returns.

WHAT ABOUT THE COMBINATION pin the
midst of all the turmoil and confusion of the
Fair, we do not want the argus to lose sight of
Its cylindrical, double-action, self-adiusting
"Combination' of political parties. 1t ought
to be entered at the Hall for premium. Per-
haps some people don't remember what it is.
Here it is in brief:
Ihe elements exist here for new political
combinations, as recent elections have moved
that they existed in Virginia and Tennessee
we favored such combination this year.
AS might be expected the argus is paving
little attention to the campaign, since it has
abandoned all hope for this year and looks to
next year with no more courage than it draws
from contemplation of its combination

The return game, in the match game

grounds of the Evansville Club on

complete triumph for the young men.
The married men seemed to have be-

while the single men played with un-
usual skill and caution, and as success
became more and more manifest, their
spirits rose while the spirits of the
married men became more and more
depressed. We hope that none of the
married men will feel so mortified by
their defeat as to seek divorces. Rather
let them rally in the final game this
