OMISSIONS.

W, Cowen in his communication
in the Farmer last week forgot to
state that an extra meeting was
called to receive new bids because
he was not satisfied with the result
of the first meeting. He didn't
think of stating that the second
meeting was an expense to the
eounty-an unnecessary expense.
That just slipped his memory. He
also speaks about Grand Juries, false
charges etc, The Grand Jury has
no business with us that we know
of. Perhaps the gentlemen's recol-
lections of that august body are not
so pleasant-however. Why does
not the Grand Jury call on some OF
the men that know from personal
knowledge, how our county matters
stand. Probably some of the Dem
ocrats who are iaboring for reform
could have told the Grand Jury
things which would have opened
their eyes, and which too could not
be explained away so easy. If the
people know then d-ty Mr.. Adams
will be elected, .

counted they send some one to re.

candidate for State Senator, who
halls from Millersburg, o., was in
town the other day, trying to fiS

different success. On his way home
he met with Democratic friend at
Crestline, who asked him how the
field lookedin Morrow Mcdowell
replied that some of the id
sore-head Democrats in Morrow
were going back on him. ,"Phey

BOUTWELL'S ADDRESS.

The address of Secretary Bout
well, at Cincinnati, was an .elabor
ate and mastery. exposition of the
financial operations of the govern
ment, under Republican manage.
ment. He clearly developed, moi
only that the present administra
tion has conducted the finances o.
the nation honestly but with rare
skill and success. While the prin
cipal of the debt has been steadily
decreased, the burdens of taxation
have been steadily reduced, at the
rate of $50, 0,000,0 900 per annum, and
there is every prospect of a still
further reduction the coming yeaI
of $30,O0O,000 more in taxation
No nation and the argument of the
Secretary is admirable, and will ac-
complish great good.

EVERY MAN SHOULD VOTE FOR
..-...... d DEvlN. -s ..-.-..

20 AS Mr.. j. C. Devin, is the peo.
pies candidate, every voter who is
anxious for an able and good Sena-
tor, should use his influence to Sc
cure Mr.. Devin's election. We re-
fer to short article clipped from
the Farmer of March 9, 1871, which
compliments Mr.. Devin, and shows
conclusively that he is a man who
sees to the interest of all the people.
He had nothing at stake in this
county, and yet he made himself
useful in saving the people of this
county thousands of dollars. We
say this, that if he did this without
an Office at the hands of our people,
will he not do vastly more if rep
resentative of the people. Read
this carefully: --.- .r..a ser
LAND APPRAISEMENT. - ls.
'The average appraisement of
lands IN Holmes county, as return
ed by the appraisers, was $20.9s
per acre. To this the. State Board
of Equalization, through a com
mittee, added II per cent. Being
in Columbus last week we made ap-
plieation to the board to have the
amount added reduced, and after a
protracted struggle succeeded in
getting a reduction of per- cent.
For our success in this matter
we were largely indebted to Mr.. Lii
cy, of Medina county, and mem
of the Board from the Lorain and
Medina District. Also to ]. C..
Devin, Esq, of Mt. Vernon. And
to number of others. Under the
bill passed by the Legislature -
per cent. was taken off all the real
estate of the State. These reduc-
tions leave the real estate ofHolmes
ounty 4 per cent. less than return
d by the township assessors, and
he average valuation per acre $40.
II. The deduction of 4 per cent.
will save the tax payers of Holmes
county many thousands of dollars
during the coming ten years"
Now will you not vote for him?
Can you turn your back on q man
that has interested himself thus in
your behalf?

.H The Tailors are all down ol Pen
dleton for urging such a terrible re-
duction of wages. His $3.50 suit
will be dear one to him and his
friends, as it will lose his party sew
eral votes. But, what say the Shoe
Makers, indeed all the mechanics
and laborers? Do you go this new
departure? If you do, you simply
vote to put wages down to
such a low rate, that you will not
be able to keep yourself half. The
poor man will remain poor and al
most starving while the rich man
will be growing richer at your ex-
pense. Think Of this when you go
to vote next Tuesday.

ceive their monthly stipend under
assumed names. Michael Norton,
State Senator,is said to have no less
than twelve of these lucrative sine
