III ON, s. 6. Cox.

This gentleman was serenaded in New
York few days since and congratula-
ted upon his safe return from Europe
At the close of his reply, he SAID:
"The saddes5 reflection which an
American abroad brings home with him
is the utter absence Of ON. flag on the high
seas Nowhcre-nowhere-do. you see
it as of old. Seventeen years ago I saw
it in the Mediterranean, from the Gates
of Hercules to the Golden Horn. Now
scarcely sail of ship or smokestack OF
steamer of American build or ownership
is seen. Why is this? Host my health
and my labor, it seems, last year in
Maine, in trying to solve this question
Of shipping. Then it was the Alabama,
or something, but nO,r 1t is conceded that
it IS the Infamous class tariff"
Voters, remember the above on cleo
ton day.

Es-It is very nice thing to be a
bondholder. 1t is not so nice to be a
plowholder. If the laws Of our country
made any distinction at al, 1T should al
ways be in favor of the poor. But it is
not so with the Radical party. When
the farmer goes to the court house he
finds that he must pay tax on all he has.
But does the bondholder trouble him
self about taxes? What is wrong should
be righted. The people should send
men to Office who will do equal justice
unto all.

LAST week, after the forms
were made up and on the press
it became necessary to take
out q small advertisement, in
the local column. We were
called away or business, and
left word for a news item to be

of this the "heavy pup" item
appeared. We regret this, be
cause we do not believe in that
style of journalism, and will
see that it does not occur again.
When we want to say anything

sage occurred between Cum

speech against the bill in the
course of which he. went on to
say:
He had been one of those
who, to the best of his ability,
had maintained the Governs

now declared his solemn con-

of the then leader of the Re.

of the free institutions of the
country, and desire of war to
that end. So anxious was the
