We areinformed that, this morning Mon
law the 3D. Joseph Little, son of David
Little, of REDEMPTION, Mercer county, shot
himself with pistol, twice, in the fore
head, but was living when last heard from,
though it is not probable that he can re-
cover. He is a single man and probably
about 25 or 80 years of age-a smart,
shrewd business man, engaged in shipping
cattle, and in butchering, in this city, until
within few days, when he went home, and
got down spirited about business and has
been little Eighty since He has been
carefully watched by his family, but, this
morning, was left alone for few minutes
in room, when he took a pistol from a
trunk which was in pieces put ittogether,
loaded it and shot himselftwiee in the fore
head. Several physicians have beel called
out we cannot now state the result OF their
elaboration. We are indebted to Mr.
Stephen Goodlow for this information.
Nr. Little and his family will have the sin
cere sympathy ofall the people in their af-
Fiction.

Don't Fool About It.

1t is absurd for any man to pretend OPP
position to the present corrupt Admins
tratiou and yet neglect to help the ticket
composed of men who are working for a
change. Any change is desirable. But
can any change be produced if you neglect
the skirmish line? The only way the coun-
try can get relief is by beginning at the
township, city and county officers Neglect
that and the Grant party will laugh at your
efforts for a change Any man who fails
to make a fight for a change now, either
fails to comprehend the character of the
contest or else he don't want any change.

Are You in Earnest 7

If men who are opposed to the present
corrupt Republican rule are in earnest in
their professions Of opposition, and desire
for change, they will belle their profess
sions if they fail to vote for and work for
the election Of every man on the Farmers
Anti. Monopoly Ticket The contest to-
morrow is only preliminary struggle for
Congress and the Legislature. Fill the
Court House with Grant Office holders and
you put clubs in Hawley's hands to beat
yourselves with next year. Elect the Re
publican candidates and you help Hawley
and Grant to denominations. We want ev-
cry man who processes to be opposed to
this Credit Mobilier, Land grab, Salary
grab Grant party to remember these
things, and make fight now, and thus
help produce a victory for honest and eco
uomical government next yeai.

TRADING WITH LIQUOR DEALERS.
Indictments to be Pigeon-h oled.--Finss to 60
Uncollected

We are informed that certain saloon
keepers, some against whom uncollected
fines are now standing, and others who,
perhaps, fear indictments, are giving out
that "Guyer never hurt them any" and
that "Guyer owns four saloons and be
won't hurt us, and that "Guyer is good
enough for their traffic, and pretending,
that he has intimated to them or their
friends that if they will support him ''he
will look out for their interests" And it
is even intimated that if they will support
him he will manage to pigeon-hole their in
dictments or contrive that their fines shall
not be collected, in case they shall be in,
dicted or fined. 1t is also intimated that
one very large dealer, who was fined some
time ago, has said that ''his fine was never
collected and never would be if Guyer was
kept in. If these reports are true, then
the Republican Ring is playing the same
game they charged upon Tammany, viz:
never prosecute man while he sticks to
the ring. These are the tactics Guyer is
said to be introducing here.
How do the friends of law and order
and good morals like it? We warn the
liquor dealers thai they had better not
make that issue, unless they want the
wrath of community arrayed against them.
For Republican, who likes this Admin
istration; don't want any change is in fay-
or of Guyer for Judge, and thinks the
country is prosperous under the Grant
reign, it is all right and proper for him to
vote for Guyer But we don't think that
a man who claims to be Democrat, or an
opponent of this Administration had better
neglect his duty and force an issue on the
whisky business. We don't think his bu-
siness will be benefited by it. We don I
think he will be less likely to have COM
plants made against him by deserving his
old friends and arousing the wrath of COM
munity against him. Nor do we think the
people want man for Judge who even
seems to be pledged to help off those who
may be complained of or indicted
