LETTER FROM MR.. BLODGETT.
VICTORY, Mason Co., Mich, }
October 9th 1919

October 9th, 1876.
EDITOR ADVANCE: I feel Il desire
to occasionally report myself to my old
friends in Wortl'ington whose memo
ries are very dear to me-perlaps more
SO than mine to them. AS my mother
was saying yesterday, there IS no year
in my life which affords more pleasant
recollections than the year l spent i'll
Minnesota. Its salubrious, exhilarat-
ing and enjoyable atmosphere, making
life seem Il blessing under great priva-
tions, it's cultivated, refined and yet
unaristoc:atic society, (has it deterio-
rated since 1 lefty It's other advantages
Ito numerous to MENTION" all combine
to make the memory a very dear one
to me.
Then why did you leave If you loved it
so we'll? hear some one ask. ALI! Cir
'cumstances which could not control
fate, If you choose to call it so, point
ed, and l followed the pointing, and it
landed me in a pleasant place. 1 might
go into raptures over our forest just
now flooded with beauty. its leaves an
everchanging panorama of loneliness
but fast falling to the ground, our ex-
cellent crops untouched by frost or
grasshoppers-well, might enumerate
many other things which make it very
desirable to live here, all of which go
to prove i'll my mind that we live in a.
glorious world. and we may all consider
it so if we will look on the bright side,
and enumerate our blessings rather
than our privationS.
And E0w permit me to say to those
who have suffered the burden of the
grasshopper, and have borne their, pri-
vatiOns with courage and have MAIN
tanned a hopeful spirit through it all, I
admire your fortitude and grit, and
trust you will find soon the end of Ia
Dor without commensurate pay. If
were free and in condition for the fight,
l would like nothing better than to
come back and renew tho battle with
you. Yours forever, 80

STILIIN DOUBT.

We had hoped to lie able to announce
to-day that Hayes certainly had 4 ma
jority Of the electoral vote. But the
matter is not yet settled by any means.
The Republicans of South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana claim that they
haye carried these States, and all now
depends upon an honest count. The
grossest outrages are reported. One
thing is certain, the whole nation is
interested in having the result honestly
returned, and though 1t may seem to
some small matter, we hold that it is
worth almost any sacrifice. 1t is I'M
fortunate to have the result turn upon
three of the Southern States, and our
honest opinion is that as the matter
now stands the chances are against US.

IOO@OSE.

Hayes must carry the States of South
Carolina, Louisiana and Florida in Or
der to be elected, and then he will have
but one majority in the electoral col
lege. This fact has raised all sorts of
questions as to the effect of the death,
or the assassination, of Il single elector,
or Of his failure in any event to cast
his vote. We understand that under Il
law OF Congress States may fill vacan-
cies where they occur from any cause.
Still the temptation to bribery exists,
and if: for that or any other reason, one
vote should fail to be cast for Hayes,
he will fail Of an election. The loss of
one vote would throw the election into
the House, where each State would
have one vote, and majority Of the
delegations in Congress being Demo-
cratic, a Democratic President would
in that event be elected.
The temptation to tamper with the
returns i'll the three States named is so
great, that if we escape bloodshed and
serious trouble we will have cause for
congratulation. And the dangers
growing out of the closeness of this
election we hope will lead to change
in the method of electing the President
and Vice President. The present con-
trivance Of an electoral college was a
concession to the slave, States at the
formation of the government, and now
that slavery has been abolished, this
relic Of the system should also be abol-
ished. Let US have direct popular
vote for President, and thus avoid the
main difficulties OF the present system.

AN EXA MPLE.

:: r.,t AN EXAMPLE,. ..;
EDITOR, ADVANCE: 1 knew a church
in the East some years ago that sane
toned an outrage far less heinous than
that recently committed in Worthing-
ton. A gentleman who was acquaint-
ed with all the circumstances remarked
at the time: Remember what I tell
you; the curse of the Lord will rest up
on that church unless they repent and
make amends for that outrage" And
it has. From that day to. this, that
church has sesmed to rest under a curse,
and 10 man can point to any good that
it has accomplished. Only a small
handful of members belong to it, and
in 4 very few years even these will have
left it and nothing will remain of a
once influential and prosperous church
but a rickety old building.
Mr.. Editor, am no prophet nor the
son of one. but if the Methodist church
of Worthington allows the frauds and
Outrages which have recently been COM
mitted in its name to pass unrehuked,
it had better select an assignee and 60
out of business as church at once
For as sure as there is justice in Heav-
en-, the curse of the Almighty will rest
upon it. You may print this or not as
a prediction by Yours Truly,
