HOLMES.

Everybody knows how unswervingly
Democratic is Holmes County; so Dem
Ocratic that not one of her fourteen
townships has, within my recollection,
ever given n Republican majority. But
ike every other Democratic locality, she
has had to pay for the luxury. last
year it was discovered thai Joseph III.
Newton, Auditor Of Holmes, had robbed
the school fund of the county to the
amount of $50, 900. Hon. s. NJ. Burn
ham made the examination, and,
although the County Auditors books
were destroyed or stolen, the Auditor of
State was enabled from his own books
to FIX the amount. We should not be
too severe on Mr.. Newton. In his ease
seIlishness and patriotism may have
gone Eand in hand. He knew and un-
derstood that the best interests of society
demand the continuance of Democratic
rule; that Republican ideas are sure to
gather ar ound the alphabet and spelling
book, and that therefore the less school
fund distributed the better. What pleas
ant thing to enrich himself and serve the
noble cause of Democracy at the same
timel Doubtless when the holy alliance
of Romish hierarchs and Democratic
leaders shall have accomplished its work
and overthrown our public school sys-
TEN the name of Mr.. Newton will ap-
pear as that of saint upon the Ronish-

DARKF-

Last year Darke County, which has
for some time been restless under the
sway of Democratic reformers, sudden
ly discovered that her Auditor, Treasur-
er, and Sheriff, mulsted the people by
overcharging and unlawfulIy appropriat-
ing to the tune Of Sc $3.50 Ii is a
great stretch of charity to admit that
this was in consequence OF ignorance
and carelessness rather than of n deIib-
ate intention to defraud; but as prefer
the most charitable construction always.
am willing to make this admission.
The same admission can not be made
in the case of JacObKoch, Treasurer of
Wayne, whose stealings reached as high
as $40, 600 by estimate and who was tried
convicted, and sentenced to a year in the
penitentiary- Wayne County has since
been a little shaky in her attachment to
the corrupt Democracy, i and there is good
prospect thar she will wheel into the
Republican r,iias.

THE OHIO ELECTION.

For days and weeks and months,
the public mind, in a political point
of view, has been turned to the Ohio
election. That event took place last
Tuesday, after a warm and animated
contest, and has resulted in the cleo
ton of Gen. Rutherford l.. Hayes,
rep for Governor, by a majority OF
10000 or 10000 over Gov. William
Allen, (Democrat) 1t Is estimated
that 100000 votes will be polled in
the State. Hamilton county, in which
Cincinnati is located, gave $500 Re-
publican majority, and Cuyahoga
county 5000 The verdict against a
further Initiation of the Currency IS
unequivocal. Hard Money, the old
Jackson standard, is in tho ascendant.
Gov. Aliens prospects for the Presl-
dency are at an end. Initiation has
sealed his doom.

Waiting for Ohio.

It is confcsscdly dull in politics.
Both parties feel it. A dead calm
seems to prevail. Neither party ap'
pears to have energy enough for an
exciting campaign. The people may
be thinking, but if they are it seems
to be very quiet thinking without act
ing. Some things have recently &C.
Cured which might have been ex-
pected to cause a sensation. But they
seem to have been accepted by people
as only in the natural order of events,
very much as eclipses, and storms, and
bad eggs. The very significant speech
Of President Grant excited but mo-
mentarv sensation. A cabinet officer
resigned last week and his place is
still vacant. There have been times
when public interest would have been
frantic as to what prominent politician
should win The honor and dispense
the patronage. But people don t get
cited in politics worth cent just now.
During a hurried trip to our old
PENNSYLVANIA last week, we looked
into q political mass meeting. We
could have almost counted the mass

vainly endeavoring to untangle the
knotty currency conundrum. But

enjoying the gay sights and recrea-
tons of the county agricultural fair
The popular indifference towards
politics seems to be apuzz.e. An an

SCHENCKs PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED Tonic
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly celebra-
ed and popular medicines have effected a revolu
ton in the healing art and proved the fallacv of
severaI maxims which have for manv wears OBJ
structed the progress of medical science. The false
superstition that consumption is incurable" de-
tered physicians from attem4 ting to find remedies
for that disease, and patients afflicted with it rec
oneiled themselves to death without making an Of
for: to escape from doom which they supposed to
be unavoidable. 1t is now proved, however that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED and that 1t HAS BEEN
cured in very great number of cases( some of them
apparently desperate on, s. BY Schenek's Pulmonic
Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same medi-
cine in connection with Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic
and NJ ndrake Pills, one or both, according to the
requirements of the case.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. was suppos-
ed, at time TO be al the very gate of death, his
physicians having pronounced his case hopeless.
and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by
he aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery,
many thousands similarly affected have used DR..
chez cks preparations with he same remarkable
success.

Regularity brings Vigor,

Local irregularities produce weakness OF the en-
tire system. In order, therefore, to re-establsh
health and strength upon basis, these irregu-
larities must be permanently overcome. Many
endeavor to reform them by remedies whi,h ad-
dress themselves merely to the symptoms. without
affecting the cause, II such individuals were to
use instead Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they
would speedily appreciate tine difference between a
medicine which palliates, and one which entirely
removes physical disability. That prime regulator
of bodily disturbances restores the derect organs
to an uninterrupted and healthy performance of
their various duties, whereby alone the system can
recover its lost tone and vfg0r Hosetters Bitters
are q tonic medicine, but they are a tonic which
regulates ere they strengthen the system.

Gov. Tilden, of New York, has excellent
Erie sc canal IA He says: The state must
protect the Erie canal while not seeking to
make money from it." That is sound
opinion, We hope it is to be acted upon
by the legislature during the winter But
50 much cannot be expected from legis-
lature which Tammany Hall controls
Chicago Tribune.
For more than 90 years, to our certain
knowledge, that has been the p,licy of the
New York Democracy. And the Wing
and Republican policy has been the very
opposite. The Wings, and after them the
Republicans of New York were always in
favor of putting up the tolls on the canals
to such a figure as would make them a
source of revenue to the state. They ia
vored big jobs, contracts to political favor
ties, and tolls to meet interest, reduce debt
and leave revenue All this, of course,
mist come out of the pockets of the west
| ern producers.
The Democrats said this course was not
only unjust to the Western producers, but
it was levying tax upon the people ofoth-
er states while passing through their Dor
ders, which was expressly forbidden by the
constitution of the United States.
AS often as parties changedin New York
the tariff of tolls on canals were changed.
The Democrats claimed that the state
could afford to build the canal from its own
revenues, as means of enriching its CON-
monwealth, and building up its great marts
of trade; that the tolls should be fixed al
so low figure as to be only sufficient tc
pay for keeping the canals in repair, and
pay the economical expense of managing
them for the good of the people generally
That's the difference between the two par
ties in New York, on that question, and
Gov. Tilden is only giving expression tc
the same old principle, in language, per
haps, more terse aud expressive.
