INDICATIONS OF THE TINES. The Hon.
George Fl. Pendleton is confident that
the Democratic party, with wisdom in
its councils and energy in its actions,
can carry Ohio by large majority next
Fall. He says: " The fnancialtroubles,
the stagnation of business, the depres-
sion of all industries, the extravagance
and corruption of the public service, the
decentralization of the Administration,
the personal government Of President
Grant, the third term project, the viola
t;an.>ot oil lew in. tha policy adopted
towards the Southern States as means
thereto; all these have filed the people
with uneasiness, and they are anxiously
seeking better state Of things"

REDEEMED. Boston Post says
that since the Democrats came into
power in Alabama, the credit of the
State is rising and the reputation of the
governing authority is becoming more
savory. They have accomplished some
reforms and taken steps to bring about
others. About the first work of the
Legislature was to pass an honest cleo
ton law, which, while making no dis
elimination against Radical voters and
fixing no qualification of property, edu-
cation or poll tax, was skillfully framed
to prevent in future the election frauds
which have been the curse of the State
during the past few years. This Sc
cures fair elections, and q Democratic
administration will be possibility in
the future.

THE CELEBRATION,

The meeting held last Tuesday night
comprised fair representation of the
people of the town and surrounding
country. Everybody appeared to be
animated by the true spirit of patriot
ism, and all entered into the delibsra-
tons of the evening with an enthusiasm
which augured success. The minutes
of the meeting appear in another column.
It will be observed that the work has
been assigned to n Committee of Ar
engagements, and that this Committee
has apportioned to subcommittee the
preliminary work devolving upon them
as a whole. Other Committees are to
be appointed, soon as the result of o
conference with the Patrons is known,
and these will have immediate charge
Of. the details of the celebration. A
meeting of the Committee of Arrange
ments will be held to-day, at 3 o'clock,
in Columbia Hall, to receive the reports
of the subcommittee, and agree upon
programme, for consideration at an
adjourned mass meeting to be held next
Tuesday evening. 'a "-.
The Finance Committee secured SUBJ
scriptions aggregating upwards of 5000,
in few hours the other day, and they
have but partially canvassed the bust
ness portion of town. 1t is probable
that this amount will be increased to
81 900, besides the donations in sup
plies, of various kinds, amounting in
value to as much more. -
Invitations will soon be issued to the
citizens of other places on the Sound
and in the interior to join with us in
the Goth commemoration of our Nation
al Independence, and to aid in making
it a grand and imposing occasion. ltis
confidently believed that we will receive
a hearty cooperation in the discharge
of the duties so auspiciously begun, and
that the celebration will serve as a..itting
reminder of heroic deeds of our FORE
fathers. -.-

G1pER's CONCERTS. concerts
given by Mr.. Glider and his talented
company, on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, were rare treat to our people,
and heartily appreciated by the large
audiences which filled Columbia Hall on
both occasions. Mr.. elders skill as a
performer is wonderful. His execution
of the most difficult pieces is as natural
and graceful as of the ordinary compost
tons; and it appears quite as easy for
him to play a tune and orchestral ac-
compartment with each hand, as it is
for others to play one. It has been sug-
gested that he might improvise drum
variations to be played by the nose, but
beyond this, imagination can conceive
of no improvement. Seriously, Mr..
Glider is the prince of performers.
Misses Babcox and Gallon, and Mr..
Whif1en, as singers, exhibit talent and
cultivation. Mr.. Glider will proceed to
Seattle tomorrow.

GIVE are informed that work at the Tum-
water Water-pipe Mandatory Is for the pre-
sent suspended, owing to the hands employed
not being paid. This, too, when orders from
California for more pipe than the manufac-
tory has capacity to furnish are untitled and
constantly coming in! Such q condition of
affairs in any business enterprise in this city
would be anomalous, and subject of general
and unfavorable comment; but it is not so at
Olympia. Business there seems to be mat
sion of this mandatory, which gives EN-
ployment to large number of men, and is
the most promising industry in Thurston
county, is regarded with Indifference Inteti-
ge7acer.
Now while the STANDARD has grum-
bled at times about the apathetic nature
of this community, it decidedly objects
to ON outsider assuming that privilege.
The cause of failure in the enterprise
cited is not attributable to any want of
interest or support by the community,
as several of our citizens know to their
cost. The enterprise has been poorly
managed. When reform is effected
and business men assume control of its
operations, it will undoubtedly prove a
success. ... . ..'...
