THE COLLEGE QUESTION.

. communication signed :. Kabletown," setting
forth the necessity of our people taking an
active interest in memorializing our Legisla>
ture. soon to convene. upon the subject of APP
preparation and Legislation necessary to Sc
cure for our Agricultural College the aid of
the United States government under the Act
of Congress of 1867. Our people here fully
agres with him and thank him for the 'valu>
able information he has given. Wewant the
College to go oD,-we want our sons educated
at home We desire to bring into our midst
foreign capital. and not be continually send
ing our boys and money away. We will do
our duty in this quarter, we will subscribe
Literally for the stock-we know it will pay
handsomely in every way. II will make our
county,-all will be interested in it. We will
act upon his suggestion to petition the Legis
Stature for aid. havs just understood tina,
there is in course of preparation, large
petition, signed aud being signed by our Ag-
ricn'tural people IF they take hold. as 1
understand they will, be assured there will be
no such thing as fall
have also understood that the Patrons of
Husbandry are taking \ lively interest in
it,-as they do in everything which looks to
the public veal When this College is started.
as it surely will be, i, is more than likely we
shall be compelled to shank the Patrons of
Husbandry Cor it. as they seem 10 DO most &C
tive in the matter. Be all this ss it may. one
thing is certain. We all want the College, it is
necessity. Some say We are too poor just
now. When will we be richer? Itimay be
when some other section of tie State applies
for, and gets. the government bounty, &c
We will continue to get poorer unless we do
something to bring means into our midst.
this is plain common sense. The College can
be started with but little capital We may
be little Inconvenience for short time,
but with the advantage of having a college
adequate to accommodate fifty bosrders with.
out the outlay of one dollar, now ready. 1t
must and will pay its own way-to say nothing
OF what we will get from the various sources
spoken Of. Let US, then. go to work and try
to build up our community. our county, our
State. We agree with "Kablctowu" thai

THE VOTE I'M OHIO.

An analysis of the vote of Ohio by couu-
ties shows some interesting facts. The DEM
ocrats made gains in ffty-cne counties, the
Republicans in thirty,seyen. Thirty of the
counties where the Democrats made gains
were Democratic in 1873, aud twenty one
were Republican two years ago. The Repub>
licaus increased their majority in twenty-five
of their own counties aud gained in twelve
Democratic counties. Forty-two counties
gave Allen majority in 1873, and all but
two of them have given him a msjority this
year. Forty six counties voted favorably to
Noyes in 1878 for,y-one of them now give
a majority to Hayes. The geographical dis
tribution of gains and losses is very curious.
OF the nineteen counties in two western tiers.
all but three show Democratic gains. OF
thirty nine counties. in the southern half of
the State. twenty>six show Democratic gains
aud thirteen only increased the relative Re-
Republican vote. "A line drawn from north
west to southeast cuts off on the eastern side
twenty-five counties that show Republican
gains, leaving but twelve such on the western
side. The changes are of such character
as to show that the introduction of an entirely
new issue into politics had . very decided eff
feet upon the voters of both parties.
