Political Changes.

The elections Of the last week, in
Ohio. Iowa AMI Pennsylvania, show a
wonderful change in the temper Of the
people
Gen. Grant carried Pennsylvania a
wear ago 10y a majority ofovcr one hun
.red and thirty seven thousand; this
year therepub.icau minority is less than
twenty thousand; here is "a loss of over
one hundred and ten thousand in one
year.
IN Iowa the same counties that gave
Gen. Grant a majority Of over forty
Thousand last year. give this year less
than twelve thousand. making a loss Of
over thirty thousand there.
Last year Ohio gave Grant about
ninety thousand majority; this year the
Democratic ticket carries the State.
We 10 not undertake to account fox
these change but simply state ,he fact
Cluucas at tho .1mr ratio ia the rest of
the States. would give the Democratic
party control of the next House Of Rep
re>eutatives by an overwhelming major
IL. and almost insure the election of the
rext President by that party.

Woman's Rights

For one thing the people of this sec

grateful. aud that is, that they are not

of others Of the same standard. In

these vomeucams here 20 preach their
