Gov. Hayes has never been beaten
as a candidate but once, and that
was in the Greeley campaign of 1872,
when he was the Republican candi-
date for Congress in the I'd Cincin-
natl district, against Gen. Banning,
The Liberal Republicans, of whom
there were large number in Cincin-
natl that year, brought out Banning,
and induced the Democrats to sup
port him, and thus secured the de-
feat of Hayes. 1t was not the Dem,
ocratic vote alone that defeated him
and therefore we have right tc
claim that he has never been beater
in fair fight with Democratic op
ponent. And that is not all. HI
never will be. Mark that!

Saturday said: "If elected, he

House the worst set of political job
bers and thieves ever seen in Wash
ington, and that's saying a good
deal"
1t will be sad spectacle, if a few
months hence we are called upon to
behold the Cincinnati Enquirer zeal
ously engaged in supporting this
same Tilden for the Presidency!

Major Bering, of Lynchburg,
starts to the Centennial this week,
to be absent two or three weeks. He
informed us that through friend in
Philadelphia, he secured in advance
good board and lodging at a re-
spectacle private boarding house for
S7aweek. This is moderate enough,
certainly, compared with some of
the reported charges of hotels and
restaurants, and we advise persons
visiting the Centennial to look around
the city for good private boarding
houses, of which there are said to be
large number, anxious to secure
boarders at reasonable rates.

Republican National Con-
fi0n.


The Convention will be held in
Exposition Hall, which is estimated
to seat about 5000 people. 1t is
announced by the Committee of Ar
rangements that tickets of admission
will be issued, and that delegates,
alternates and the press will first be
supplied. After this the tickets will
be distributed pro rata to the several
State delegations. to the extent OF
the seating capacity of the hall, and
no more. The tickets will have cou-
pons attached for every day, andupon
entering the hall coupon will be
torn off, SO that the ticket can not
be loaned"
Estimating the whole number of
seats at 5000, lhere, must be de-
Quoted say 1000 for the delegates,
alternates and the press, as follows:
Delegates. 100
Alternates. .756
Press. ..... .oUu
2O12
This will leave say 5000 for distri-
button pro rata to the several State
delegations. Under the rule adopt
ed, Ohio's share will be about 353
seats, or seats to each delegate and
4 to each alternate. The two dele
gates and alternates from this dis
trict will therefore have but 16 tick
cts in all, for distribution among the
five counties of the district.
From this it will be seen that the
chance of outsiders obtaining seats
is very slim, as only very few per
sons in each district can obtain tick
cts. We regret to discourage any
of our readers who may have been
anticipating the pleasure of attend
ing the Convention, but the facts are
as above stated, and their publica-
ton may save some disappoint-
ment. =

A week ago, last Monday evening. every one had most enjoyable time at the re- ception at the Rectory. The sleighing was trifle better than it has averaged this winter, and the people came from far and near. One hundred and ten persons were present, which is conclusive evidence that Mir. Peck has made many warm friends, and he is deserving of them all. Thirty three dollars were left as slight testimonial of the company's regard. be- side other substantial gifts. All who were present will remember it as very pleasant occurrence.
 -Marbledale has become. a tobacco mart. The Sperry Bros. have opened 8 packing warehouse over the ''Old store. "
 The price of tobacco ranges anywhere from four to ten cents per pound. It is March! Yes. Now's the time to sprout your Havana seed-to keep out of jail, and the poor house, and to prevents hur. ried journey to Europe-it is necessary to raise tobacco at four cents pound Now sprout. --.r

The use of carpet1ngs may be traced to a very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Eu- rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel lence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet Co.,, of Bridgeport, are said to make the best Ingrain Carpets that are sold in this Country. Messrs. HALL < READ are the agents of these goods, and also keep the largest assortment of Velvet and Brussells carpets in the state.
