Radical Election.

The Radical primary elections for
candidates for the county offices came
off on Saturday last. So. far as this
township is concerned it was a COM
plete farce, and has given general dis
satisfaction. Everything voted that
presented itself no matter of what po-
EtieaI persuasion, and as a conse-
quence there is no choice of the party.
The vote was light, which developes
the fact that there is a strong and
healthy Conservative and Liberal ele-
ment, that will not be bound by party
ties any longer, but that will vote to
suit their own notions. AS usual the
E.Ring" at Eaton ONE in for ."sweep
stakes" and gobbles up all the fat
offices. We give the same advice as
heretofore to all who want political
positions, move to Eaton. The race
for Sheriff, between johnson and
Mikeseh, was very close, johnson re-
ceiving the nomination by only FOUR
majority Here is the Ticket;
Jehu King, Probate Judge, Eaton.
Hiram Johnson, Sheriff, Eaton.
d. B. Morrow, Clerk, Eaton.
DR.. Bruce, Coroner, Eaton.
Jefferson Larsh, Surveyor, Eaton.
Levi Risinger, Infirmary Director, E.
Daniel Prngh, Commissioner, Gratis.
That will do, certainly!

Take Your Home PAPER.

The following is taken from the ed
itorial columns of the Gladys Book
for the month of January, and we
commend its careful perusal to the
many Democrats in this county who
are neglecting their home paper for
some city weekly :--'What tells us so
readily the standard of q town or city
as the appearance of its paper? And
its youth or its age can as well be de-
termined by the observing as q per-
| sonal notice, The enterprise of its cit
liens is depicted by its advertisements,
their liberality by the looks of the pa
per. Some papers show a good, solid,
healthy foundation, plethoric purses,
and a well-to-do appearance general
ly others show a striving to contend
with the grasping thousands around
them, trying hard to wrench out an eX-
istence from the closc-fisted commun-
ity around them. An occasional met

until support comes, which ought to
be readily granted. A newspaper is
like Il church; it wants fostering in
the commencement, and for a few
years; then, as a general thing, it can
walk alone, and reflect credit upon its
location. Take your home paper; it
gives you mor news o fimmediate in
terest than New York or other papers ;
it talks for you when other localities
belle you it stands up for your rights ;
you always have a champion in your
home paper, and those who stand up
for you should certainly be well sus-
tanned. Your interests are kindred
and equal, and you must rise or fall
together. Therefore, it is your inter-
est to support your home paper; not
grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit; as
a pleasure, not as a disagreeable duty
but as an investment that will amply
pay the expenditures"

After the proceedings at the prima-
ry election on Saturday last, with the
"Worthy Chief Templar" furnishing
money to buy whisky, and another

into "worse than houses of prostitu-

then, in fraternal companionship,
pledging success to the candidate,
with the candidate himself warbling
like a billiard ball on an uneven table,

GRANTS UNPARALLELED MEAN>
NE q The New York correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Inquirer writes under
date of the 4th inst, as follows.
Grants newspapers carefully explain
that Gen. Anderson's family desired
an unostentatious funeral, and that
therefore, no military display was
made when the remains arrived at
West Point yesterday. 1t is only an
other outcropping of Grants unap-
proaohable meanness. A perfectly
credible gentleman who witnessed
the immense popular testimonial in
New York accompanied the body in
the steamer to West Point, and mott
cling the absense Of any marks of res
peot, asked Gen. Andersons brother
whether he thought they were treating
the Generals body fairly. "No," he
replied; but believe they are acting
under orders from Washington" This
gave the gentleman a hint, and walking
over to Gen. Rugcr he inquired why
the usual salutes were omitted. The
reply was that the war department had
forbidden the usual ceremonies. The
gentleman next asked several cadets
why they had not at least been called
to parade, and the reply was that the
Instructor thought it would interfere
with their studies.

The following declaration of princi,
pies were indorsed with cheers:
We believe that the political action
of individuals and conventions should
be left free from the influence of polit-
zeal patronage. business men should
not be under fear of unjust official
interference with their affairs, and be
compelled to pay tribute for political
purposes.
We believe that public Offices are, or
should be created for public conven-
ience, and not as rewards for partisan
services, nor for personal aggrandize,
ment; that the acts of officials should
be confined with the strict letter of the
laws creating such officials.
We believe that the triumph of re
publican principles is of paramount
importance to the country, and that
the success of those principles in the
approaching national election does not
depend on any one individual.
We believe that the people of the
country demand a thorough, radical
and immediate reform in all depart>
ments of the public service-ciyil,
military and naval-and that tho one>

Grated element, and held together by
nothing stronger than public plumber,
the only wonder is that it has reigned
as long as it has. The common object
which induced the pharisaioal and the
predatory to work together being ac-
oomplished, the natural afinities OF
eternally discordant element are now
parting them assunder. The innu-
merable offices of the state, with their
salaries and enormous privileges of
theft; the newspaper patronage upon
which so many brave and incorrupti-
bic organs are sustained and fattened;
the seats in congress, so hard to win
and so painful 10 lose--these, the main
stays which have held these elements
together, are melting away. To keep
in place is now the one idea of our
acting governor and his party, and TO
keep in place the discipline enacted
from all members of the combination
is absolute. Every stave is sacred
from meddlesome investigation. If
one be folnd to absorb unconsciously,
and attact attention by spongy succu-

tempered mud. Any attempt to save
the money or honor of the state at the
expense Of the band is treason and per-
