A Human Beer barrel, with a

BsyaId Taylor, in recent New York
letter, pays the following very doubtful
compliment to the memory of the late
f" Jim " Fisk, to-wit:
" Five or six years ago, as | distinctly
remember, our population was divided
into two classes-the many who accepted.

rascality, and the few who Getested and

In spite of what some papers have

The Panic Stricken Republicans.

The Panic Stricken Republicans.
Cincinnati Gazettel
The Republicans carried Ohio in 0c.
tober by plurality of over nine thou
sand. A great many think this is con
elusive as to the result in November.
10 this respect there is danger of over
confidence. That Ohio is decidedly
Republican we have no doubt; but at
the same tfme it is possibly Democratic.
If Republicans will neglect the polls. in
any way, Ohio will not vote for Hayes
in November. Tilden has not given
Ohio up. Upon this point we have re
liable information. The Democrats will
contest the State in November and con.
test it vigorously, and IN their peculiar
way. They will have the money now
They expect to catch Republicans of
their guard-or away to the Exposition,
or away from the polls. They are pre-
pared to commit frauds, OF course
The average Democrat has no more
regard for the purity Of the balot-box
than the debauchee has for the purity OF
a woman. Tilden has been educated in
election frauds, and Tilden educates and
inspires his followers in that kind OF
rascality. Fraudulet votes to the extent
of 5000 at least we're cast in this city, at
the late election, for the Democratic
ticket A prominent Democrat yester.
day did not hesitate to boast that 1000
more fraudulent votes would be cast in
November than were cast in October
This is the way it is to be done, unless
Republicans guard every point.
We must not conclude that Ohio is
safe for Hayes 1t is safe provided Re-
publicaus do their whole duty. Other.
wise it may be lost. The enemy is
awake and determined. Democrats will
use money freely. They will commit
frauds uuhesi,atingly. They will move
bell and earth to carry the State for
Tildeu. They cannot be defeated by
going to sleep. Let Republicans bear
this in mind, and act accordingly, and
this State will roll up a sweeping ma
jority for Hayes in November. But
nothing short of hard constant, aud de-
termined work will gain a victory.

The sweetest little bear story of this

only slept but snored, and snored with
such vehemenoe as to frighten colored
brother who passed that way. The
sound was utterly unlike anything that
the saunterer had ever heard. He recon-
noilered the haystack at a safe distance

ios his gun and summoned another
negro to the chase. The two sportsmen
crammed their guns with bird-shot, and,
holding an intrenohed position behind
two trees, took aim at the bear, shouted,
and when the brogans moved slightly,
fired nervously but only too accurately.
The bear not only growled but swore,
alL swore with even greater volume than
he had snored. The bird shot in the
bear was as thick as csraway seed in a
Christmas cookery.
