EDUCATIONAL.

At New Market Station, O., there
is an institution of learning known
as .'The One-Study University" In
the catalogue it is said: '"The dis
tinctive feature of this institution
is the plan of study. Each student
passes through the course by taking
up and thoroughly completing one
study at time. A practical test of
four years gives a great gain both
in time and scholarship. The opln-
ion that any one study does not
furnish full exercise for all the
mental powers is erroneous, though
generally received and practiced.
Not single mental power that any
philosopher can name,is idle during
the prosecution Of any study in the
course. 1t is common opinion
that students will weary with
but one study at a time. This is
wholly imaginary. In practice the
very opposite is true. With one
study our students exhibit but q
small portion, of the weariness and
confusion that were formerly devel-
oped when they were contending
with three or four studies at time"

POOR HOPES

The hopes Of Greeley are based
on Indiana, State that no one lay
ing claim to good sense will pretend
to say will not 60 for Grant. The
State is practically against Greeley
now, the Legislature and all the
State ticket, with the exception of
Governor, having been elected by
the Republicans. No sensible man
will be misled for a moment by the
wild talk about carrying Indiana
against Grant. Greeley knows how
impossible it is to do it, and he pre-
tends otherwise solely to keep up
the deception which has been the
principal reliance of the Liberals
from the beginning. 1t is a game
which cannot be always successful.

ALMOST AN ACCIDENT.

While the crowd were waiting fol
the train at the depot in Orrvillt
last Thursday evening, some boy:
got on some fiat cars that were
standing on the side track some dis
tance from the switch, and looseG
the brake. The cars commenced
running toward the main track, and
going down grade ran off the switcl
at the main track. Messrs. Z. H
Wheaton and A. Wolgamot, of oul
place, were standing on the plat
form and ealing the cars run, and
stop SO suddenly, thought there
might be something wrong. Mr.
Wheaton ran to the spot some thir.
ty rods away, and seeing what was
the matter, called to Wolgamot to
bring red lantern Immediately, as
the train was overdue. Mr.. VOL.
gamot ran instantly to the station
and told Jones what was wrong.
They returned with all haste to the
spot, and passed on to meet the
train, which they meet about twenty
rods beyond. A minute later and
the train would have run into the
fat cars, and no one can tell what
the result might have been. The
train was detained nearly two hours.
Had it not been for the feeling OF
these two men that all was not right,
there might have been a wrecked
train and some lives lost. Conduc-
ter Jones told these men if they
wished to go to Orrville the next
day it would not cost them anything.

MORE GREELEY MENDAclTY.

In the same spirit of mendacious
efrontery which has characterized
all the deliverances of the Tribune
concerning the peoples reputation
of the pretensions of its candidate,
that paper claims the Greeley Buck
alew party to have been cheated out
of Pennsylvania by fraud. One can
pardon something to the natural
desire of a badly beaten man assign
in explanation of his overthrow a
reason which will hurt his vanity as
little as possible. But in this in
stance the claim of the Tribune is a
piece of impudent and lnexcusable
dishonesty. The returns from every
quarter of tho State show marked
Republican gains. If there was
fraud, it must have been as univer-
sal as the air, since the gains them
selves extend from one end of the,
State to the other. But the Tribune
does not believe its own assertion,
which is simply a desperate attempt
to break, if it can, the terrible force
of. the death blow which it knows
Greeleyism to have received on the
sth. Forney declares that there
was no fraud about it. That it was
only the general uprising of the peo-
pie, This is the truth of the mat
ter, and it will be demonstrated still
more powerfully at the November
election. ,.- =. .,.- g.. ..,g -tr-it

THE CONTEST IN PENNSYLVANIA

The country looked to Pennsyl
vania to decide the Presidential elec-
tion by her October vote; and nobly
has she responded. Not in the an
mails of political contests has there
been one comparable to this in un,
sparing ferocity. Never before was
a party so assailed as was the Re
publican party, from within and
without, Conscious that the fate
of the country hung on their action
and entering on the canvass under
circumstances of peculiar embar
rassment, they went to their work
and through it with a resoluteness
and unselfishness which will be for
ever an example to others and {
mark of honor to themselves. Eacf
individual Republican has Alright tc
feel proud of the distinction of hav
ing fought in this contest, and O
being sharer in the fruits which il
secures to all in the perpetuity o
good government.

Even Greeley publicly gives it up.

about beets and "worh- out land" he
told them what lie. knew about po-
litieal beats, and swoFn, out .politi-
clans, saying, Il beseech you, let
nothing discourage you to press on
to that triumph which will certainly
be accorded us, if not in the ne: +
future, at later day" 1t will be
very late day when Horace reaches

WHY DON'T THEY /?

It would save us a heap of troubl,
If the Greeleyites would own III
their death and be decently buried
at once, instead of crawling abour
with miserable pretence of life un
til knocked in the head and put te
bed with shovel in November. A
= cold clammy corpse sitting up in
daylight and pretending to be a liv.
ling being is nuisance. ANY dead
: body with decent antecedents would
be above such improper conduct.
We can stand another month of it,
but it is a bother to be daily remind
ing Greeleyites of their death on
the sth Of October, and after a few
repetitions the thing becomes mono
Onous. afH f-..,s. i.s.s..5 ,t.. Z.

WILL MR.. GREELEY WITHDRAW
The Cincinnati Gazette says: The
statement that Greeley is about to
withdraw his candidature is denied.
1t will continue to be denied until a
positive decision shall have been
made, and the formal announcement
prepared. The affair is full of diff
iculties. Greeley is obstinate and
self-willed. OF course he will think
the Democratic party bound to stick
to him in defeat, and try him again
at the next presidential election.
He may even be so vain and deluded
as to fancy that when he comes to
be the direct issue the result will be
changed. For him to abandon the
contest is ignominy, and likewise
defeat is disgrace. If he withdraws
where shall he and his journal GO?
Treacherous to one party; tempted,
used, defeated, and cast off by the
other, he will be suspended like Ma
homet's coffin. 1t is difficult mat
ter for him to decide, though he
considers it only from the ground
of personal interest. But the Dem
ocratic party has its own interest to
look to. 1t cares nothing for Gree
ley's fate. 1t took him at his price
for the consideration of a Republi-
can following which he failed to
bring. The question now is how to
throw off this old man of the sea.
We can fancy stormy time in the
Democratic and Greeley councils at
this time, while they are denying
the statements of preparation for
a change of front. The case is as
difficult for the party to decide as
for Greeley. There is no chance for
hope that reorganization or change
Of front will redeem their defeat.
As to their party integrity, what
course could redeem that? Consid-
ering all the difficulties of the situ-
alton, the probability is that the
managers will continue to wrangle
and to fail to agree, and that they
will drift along with Greeley. 1t is
doubtful if anything could relieve
them from the embarrassment ex-
cept Greeley'sToluntary withdrawal:
but Greeley is not one of that kind.
So we shall have the Democratic
managers reproaching themselves
and eliminating one another for
their blunder for another four wears.
as We have had for the last twelve.

THE DEFEAT OF GREELEY.

The Pittsburgh Gazette says the
defeat of Greeleyism is bearing le-
gitimate fruit already. Yesterday
Greeley club in this city tore down
their banners, riddled their head
quarters, and threw up their hands
generally. Nor is this all: nothing
is more common now than to hear
Democrats declaring for Grant
With dissolying views everywhere
presented to their gaze, Democrats
naturally follow where their inter,
ests lead-for Grant and prosperity
The prospect now is that he will be
elected by alarger majority than any
President since the days of Wash
ingtOn. ..... .....s .s..t...... .........

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

mOuthful of crow.
1t is time not for wailing but for
action.-LouiscMe Courier-Jo our

This is just the time for araliag,
and the waling is fully up to the
times.
The Greeley Clubs in Pittsburgh
and other places in Pennsylvania,
have pulled down their banners, rid
died their rooms and abandoned all
hope of a future organization.
Horace Greeley says: ga purely
selfish interest attaches the lewd,
ruffiantly, criminal and dangerous
classes to the Democratic party" 1t
might be interesting to know what
has drawn Mr.. Greeley in the same
direction.
We would suggest that the New
York Chappquacks fit out Stanley,
the Livingstone man, for an expedi-
tion to Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Western Wilds, in search Of that
''tidal wave.'
Mr.. Boutwell, says Mr.. Greeley
asked him, during the past three
years and a half,to do twelve things
inconsistent with each other, and
either of which, done in the way
proposed, would he fatal to the bus
mess interest of the country.
Horace Greeley once wrote Grant
has never been beaten and never
will be beaten The safest prophe-
cy upon which he ever ventured,
vide Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ne
braska in their charge along the
lines last Tuesday weed.
Mr.. Greeley's organ, the Tribune,
thus cheerfully closes a review of the
results of Tuesdays election with
the assertion: "That assures it.
Friends! in spite of fraud, we are on
the home stretch, with every pros
pect of success" Doubtless the Phi
lOsopher is on the home stretch-to
the Tribune office and resumption
of the editorial duties, which he was
extremely foolish to give up.

the same reason. The rats, in the
persons of Mcclure, Forney & Co.

he can. ....

THE RESULT.

"We have met the enemy, and
they are oursp' The people have
spoken, and the voice has given out
no uncertain sound. Pennsylvania
has rolled up the handsome majori-
ty of more than $4,000, and has a
fine working majority in her Legis-
lature and has gained several Con-
gressmen. The workingmen knew
what was to their interest, and cast
their votes accordingly. The men
of capital knew what would be to
their best interest and voted on the
side Of the present administration.
In November, Pennsylvania will
speak yet more decidedly.
Ohio has also done nobly. Her
majority ON the State ticket is near
ly $4,000. Thirteen Republican
Congressman have been elected.
Ohio is good for 10000 in Nexem-
Der. The Greeleyites felt confident
} that they would carry the State on
? the Sth inst, and were much sur
.-prised and abashed when they saw
the result. .aaa
Indiana, which was considered
doubtful by the Republicans, but
claimed by large majority by the
Democrats, elected the Republican
State ticket except the Governor.
Hendricks is one of the smartest
men the Greeleyites have, and had
it not been for that, he would also
have been defeated. As it is his
majority will not reach above eight
hundred, while the Republican ma
jority on the State ticket runs over
fifteen hundred in some instances.
The average is about 1,2OO. The
Legislature will stand fifty -four Re
publicans, to forty-six Democrats in
the House,and twenty-seven Repub-
licans to twenty three Democrats in
the Senate. Morton will thus con-
tinue in the National Senate.
Nebraska has likewise done nobly.
Her majority for the Republicans
is 5000. @
The District Of Columbia has
wheeled into the Republican ranks
and given majority of 5000.

MY FIRST VOTE,

There are quite a number o.
young men who will cast their vote
for President for the first time this
fall. Several of them have beer
heard to say that they intend te
vote for Grant, as they wish to cast
their first vote for the man who is
elected. They know that Greeley
now has no earthly chance for cleo
tion, hence they wisely conclude to
vote for the men of the people
Grant and Wilson. .....
