A YrnpuAant Claim.

Many OF the Liberals who are cheek
by jowl with the Democratic party,
still claim to be Republicans. They
say the Republican party has left
them. The modesty of these gentle
men stamps them as the blatant, bras
sy harranguists that they really are
one of them, up to recent period,
making more noise than ilock Of
geese in the first snow furry of the
season. The dignified, pure and infal-
lible Liberal scouts the idea that his
ninety-ninc former Republican friends
can be. right and walking in the
straight path by standing by the rcgu-
lar Republican party nomination, a
nomination made unanimously. No;
the ninety and nine are all wrong
and the infallible Liberal is right. lie
is stu Republican, and il is they who
have gone astray.

Mr.. Summers last reason why Giant

The grand object of the Democracy

the beginning hatthcy could not carry
over more than three-fourths ut the

they did not care to do so. They will
expect now to get out their full vote to
the polls and when there, with the aid

some Democrats in Congress and to
elect some other district and

been close between the old parties.

SHOT AND KILLED.-Last Tuesday a
horrible murder was committed i'm
Adair county, OH Grand River, near
the old Schwear's Station. For a long
time bitter feud had existed between
a Mr.. Brandywater and his brother in
law, Augustine and on Tuesday, while
Bfandywatcr was riding along near
Augustine's house, he was deliberately
shot and killed by his brother-in- law.
After the commission Of the deed the
murderer retreated into his house, and
defied the attempts OF a number of per-
sons who soon assembled, to take him,
and kept the men at bay for sometime,
but finally CAME out and surrendered
himself. He was taken to Fontanellc
for examination. The affair has created
an intense excitement in Adair county,
and elscwhere.-Qaincy Telegram.
