Thirteen Years Ago.

Thirteen years ago the first number
of the PLAIN DEAEER was presented
to the public at New Oregon, by it:
present proprietors. New Oregon wat
then town of about 500 inhabitants
the principal town in the county, and
the Plain Dealer its only newspaper.
It was commenced with a subscrip.
ton list that numbered just 81, and but
few Of these prepaid. In three weeks
its list had increased to 315. The first
name ever added to the list was S. NJ.
Cole; then followed Sabin Il Moon,
John s. LAWYER, Geo. w. Pierce, j.
Sturgis C. NJ. Mnnson, Geo. Eek, &.
w. Scho6eld, T. P. Davies, Henry
Stewart, j. S. Potter, Chas Craghill,
J. w. Maynard, L. Averill, II. X.

J. Warrington, Cyrus Smith, J. b.
Howard, L. F. Emmons. II. F. Paul,
H. s. Ayers, J. J. Clemmcr, Thos
Griffin. John Wholchan, Nye Gushing,
Seneca Hunt. s. Stone. J. Walton, o.
D. Curtis, s. Herrick, j. B. Mitchell.
II. B. Mitchell, and D. w. Owen.
The above list included the entire
number of names on the list at New
Oregon. with the first issue, the others
being in other portions Of the county,
with two or three names in DEBORAH
and John T. Stoneman, alone in Nc
Gregor. The most Of these persons
still living, we have had as regular
subscribers ever since.
At no time have the proprietors asked
for or received any bonus from any
person. On the contrary its proprie-
tors have contributed out of its scanty
support to nearly every object that has
demanded q general aid in dollars and
cents from their more wealthy neigh
bors and friends. In addition to this
tax they have for fourteen elections
contributed to the democracy Of the
county their election tickets, at an an
nual expense Of $50, except that two
or three towns have once or twice paid
for their town tickets. Iney nave also
hired livery and distributed the tickets
throughout the county ut al annual
expense Of about as much more.
Tho population Of Howard county at
that time was under 5000, over one
fourth of which was in New Oregon.
The next in population was Vernon
Springs. and the third was Forest City.
The principal advertiser Tor the first
year was James Carpenter, then sheriff
Of Howard county, who we believe will
ray that advertising paid him, and that
if hs had had more Of it his profit
would have been greatly Increased
thereby.
The proprietors Of the paper have
been a. follows; Mead Il Wood, Mead
& Jones; Mead Il Brown, aud now
w. r. & F. J. Mead.

had FIR the FIRST three m ,nths was busi-

WHAT OF THE HOUR

| We still have the satisfaction OF
announcing that the prospects for !;
grand triumph of the conservative
and national principles CT The l'crub-
lean party this year are fla,tcriE9 IN
the extreme. There are thousands
of Democrat, in tie country who.
when the choice is To be m.Hlc be-
tween the eccentric and va,ciiiating
radicalism of Greeley or The firm and
| consistent conservatism Of General
Grant. will array themselves Oh the
| side of the latter.
Nearly three hundred Democrats
of the 4tli Assembly District in
New York City have organized Il
Democratic Grant Club.
San Francisco has already two
Grant and Wilson clubs that are colt
posed cntircly of Democrats who
cannot go Horace Greeley.
An Irish Democrat ut Hudson,
Mich, las just bet $500 that there
are fifty Democrat, in that town who
will not vote for Greeley.
n large Democratic Convention as
semblcd AT Fort Wayne, Indiana, Sat
urday, and appointed delegates To the
Louisville Convention, and declared
for i. L. Edgrrton, of Iudiaua, for
Vice President. The following rcso-
lutioms were passed:
"Resolvcd. by the Democratic
party of Indiana. That we rcpudiatc
with scorn and Indignation, the % +
rupt bargain at Baltimore, whereby
the Democratic party was handed
over Ia Il handful of disaflcctcd itadi-
| Gals. headed by Horace Greeley.
=. That white, as law abiding citi-
zcns. we accopc the amendments added
to the Constitution by the party in
! power. we still hold as infamous the
illegal manner by which their adop-
tiOn was secured, and that we will moi
join hands to-day with the authors OF
that ilitamy in u paltry scramble for
office.
5. That we favor tariffur revenue
only, that we regard IL vicious and
oppressive the whole theory of pro-
lection, and therefore cannot support
for Prcsiden; the most violent advo-
cate of the theory"
Among scores of others scDs:ftion-
ally reported '.for Greeley" aud who
have Ge,hcd the impeachment, is to
he placed Curtin, of Pennsylvania,
who Is announced as unequivocally
opposed to Honest Horace
The Greeley ground swell" is
making Democrats fall Off like har-
vest apples III a%liurricanc. In town
in Ohio last week, one hundred of
them appeared at%a-,nceting OF Grant
and Wilson Club and requested to be
admitted as members.
Mosby says Whenever Il Radical
gets disappointctin getting IN office,
or gets kicked otii for his rascality,
he ut once begins to talk with an ar
of indignant Virtue of rcform-in gov
eminent, purityin politics, Of hepot-
ism and giit-taking, and calls him
self Il Liberal
Col. BlMton Duncan, in an inter-
view for the New York Herald by, ~.
newspaper correspondent, stated that
hG. had received assurances Of eight
hundred and City Thousand votes for Il.
straight out nomination, and before
the election The Democrats would see
that this was enough to defeat Gree
ley, and would come back in a body
and elect O'Conor, who has already
consented to become. q candidate.

AVOIDING HIS NEW FRIENDS.

The great Presidential philosopher,
the sage of Clappaqua. and the man
who hopes to hang his white hat in
| the White House. has gone TO the
scenes of his childhood in New lIamp-
shire, and intends 10 stay there until
after the November earthquake. The
| poor fellow was worried to death in
| New York. First a Kuklux would
call upon him, then a coiorcd individ-
| ual from Texas, then a war Democrat,
then Il Republican, and ofcourse caci,
would want.him, TO define his posi-
ton. write II letter. or invite to his
quiet farmer hemc' at Chappaqua.
| Even the farm was Ovcrrun, and his
fine meadows, STAGE the Baltimore
Convention. have been made as barren
| us a race-track by the footsteps ofthc
, unwashcd Democracy. His fences
have been broken down by the crowd
of hangers-on, or cut to pieces by the
| iack-knife of impatient Office seekers,
| who wished to tender him their sup
| port mrhtovch him up rs TO the fat
places they wanted. lie did think of
going to Long Island, but the fare
over the East river is only two cents,
and as most of his constituents could
raise that amount aud walk the length
of the island, he gave that up. and
has Actually migrated TO old New
Hampshire, where his late galvanized
friends can see him 10 more until
after the election. After that i'm
portant event he will probably rise to
explain his little piece of eccentrici
~. and bla,s~ the whole thing on
Sumner. Long Island would have
suited him better, for the changing
sads oflhe sea-sllorc would have as
surcd him that his change was simply
in obedience to a law o fmaturc. But
the .rawite peaks of New Hampshire,
(Which will confront his vision daily.
will disturb his peace of mind and
remind him uf the grand old party
that lie is attcmptingto bctray. The
sands OF the sea-sliorc may change.
Horace Greeley and Charles Sumner
have changed, but the graHitc princi-
pies R-the Republican party viii be
as everlasting as the rocky heights
which overlook his retreat.

THAT STATEMENT"

The Ccuuty Court seems 10 believe
pretty" strongly IA the g%ullibility of
mankind in general, and the people of
Andrew County in particular, judg-
ing from their action at divers times.
To. say nothing of giving large con

De,aocra.ic Liberal Falsehood.

OS.t1CC-I NC 4lDSEdi dASCAOOA.
The G~rccleyites continue to insist
that there is a bitter hatred and en-
nifty existing between the North and
South, which Dir. Greeley should be
called Oh 10 remove. They say to the
South tic North hates You :" they
say TO TIE North ''the South hates
YOU" These. assertions are SANDER
Gus fai,chnods. 1t is not true as be
tween the masses, it Is not true as be-
tween the administration and the
people of the South. But it is apart
of the trick and game 20 carry out
their disgraceful swindlc, bargain and
sale ut baltimore, to point out ami
m0sities between the two sections,
while at the same time they are'hyp.
ocritirally pretending to desire peace
aud good feeling between the two sec
lions. There is no ill feeling ON the
part of the Southern people toward
Gen. Grant, who has been generous
to them to a fault. Gen. Lee, and
his army accorded to Gen. Grant the
greatest generosity. And the rebels
who fed the country at the close OF
the war. some going to Mexico, some
10 Brazil and other places. They
s0on became destitute, and desired to
return to the United States. Grant
sent vessels and brought them home
free of charge. Was not this gcncr-
Ous, and in striking contrast with the
way they would have been treated by
ANY government on earth, which
would have banishcd them forever.

A Political Prediction.

a correspondent. over the sigma.
turc of 'Southron," thus writes to
the st. Joseph Herald:
CAS- one well acquainted with the
character, temper and feelings of the
Southern people, / make this predic-
zion: Horace Greeley will not carry
Il Southern State. The Southern
people, with all their faults and mis-
fortunes, stand high on their honor,
and to ask them To vote for Horace
Greeley is to ask them to violate ev-
cry sense of honor and vote against
every principle and sentiment they
