"Heterophemy" is the new word to designate
the careless use of terms by writers who know
better. Tgnorantrophemy" is applied to
those who do not know any better, and it does
not spoil for the want of employment.
Samuel Cary, ESQ.,, wants to speak in Penn
sylVania, but the Democrats have quietly re-
quested that, lift is not too much trouble for
him, he had better remain in Ohio and attend
to his cider mill. Which is de-ciderly polite.
Because the United States does not help
Cuba in the hour of her need, 1t does not in
tend by this that American citizens shall grind
the patriots meath the slave-master's heel.
Does it? If so, why, perhaps William Welsh
is right in the possession of his slaves, after
all.
Pontius Poillette, the Democratic candidate
for State Treasurer of Pennsylvania, was
offered bride when he was in the Legislature
in 1S46-'47, and accepted it. But when
threatened with exposure he quickly re-
turned it, and thought the crime would blow
over. 1t is an ill-wind that blows a mean
act into oblivion.
A city lassie, wearing a pin-back, who was
oh bxy ht,ll nh vie
country cousins, and was compelled to lie
down and roll to the fence in order to get
there at all, says the next time she goes into
the country she will wear skirts expansive
enough to allow her to step over barn in
case of an emergency.
The Democratic party is continually creating
some unfortunate scheme which invariably
weakens their cause. They foolishly took up
the rag baby in Pennsylvania, and now have
sent that venerable old dry-nurse William
Allen there to wean 1t from defeat. A politi-
cal corpse fondling political heresy is the
most novel picture of the day.
General Cary says 1t was the school ques-
ton that defeated the Ohio Democrats, and
that the future of the party is full of promise
sons of my running behind the ticket are OBJ
vieus enough. The brewers and saloon-keepers
distrusted me on account of my temperance
principles, and temperance men voted against
me because of my opposition to :he crusade
movement NJ lines.
Well, now, we never thought of that before.
How strange
Ohio papers print the complete vote of that
State at the late election, for Hayes and Allen
the figures being official, as reported to the
Secretary of State from all but eleven counties,
and from these the reports have been sent to
the Republican State committee by the local
committees, acting under instructions to copy
from the official records of the several coun-
ties. The total vote is unprecedented, being
SOC, on, of which General Hayes has 297 ,s13
and Governor Allen 292, pa, making Governor
Hayes majority $50. About 900 additional
votes were cast for the Prohibition candidate.
The largest vote ever cast in Ohio previously
was for President in 1872, when the aggregate
was 529, 4S6.
The Democrats of Pennsylvania, who were
once wont 10 believe in the absolute and unde-
filed wisdom of Buchanan, must take the fol-
lowing financial pill Of his compounding with
much wry face and unpalatasle sensations:
"Now, the Constitution has provided gold
and silver coin, and no other currency, as the
medium by which commerce is TO be CON

execution of this power; how, then, can he
