cant import that it should be read and
reread, thought upon and pondered
over. 1t means much. 1t reveals the
true issue in the campaign. 1t is thor.

surround all the polls throughout the

withdraw it from other duties, is in.
sufficient for the purpose, if The Demo
Gratis of the South determine to act in

their own votes at an early hour, and

A MEAN TRICK.

The Democracy were guilty of a
trick the past week of which honest
men would be ashamed. They were
fearful that our candidate for Sheriff
would endanger the election of theirs,
and in order to prevent their people
from voting for Mr.. Cline. they had
Democratic tickets printed with Mr..
Clines name printed in instead Of Mr..
Tritch's and went around showing
them and representing that Mr.. Cline
had had them printed in order to de-
ceive voters. OF course such a story
had its effect, and is only another evi-
dence of the infamy of the Democratic
leaders as we'll as the great ignorance
of many of their voters who would al
low themselves to be imposed upon by
SO silly pretence, and be led about
by the too palpable falseboods of those
whom they regarded as honorable
men.
In the first place, none Of these tick
cts were found in the possession If any
of the friends of Mr. Cline, and only
were found in possession of his enc
mics.
They were not printed at the office
of the "JEFF.," as they represented,
and those guilty of so reporting are
infamous liars.
In the second place, Mr. Cline knew
and all of his friends knew the eIec
ton law well enough, 10 know that
every such ticket voted would be a
vote thrown away for Mr.. Cline, in
stead of a vote gained. The law on
this point is so explicit that no person
not natural born idiot would attempt
such trick with the expectation of
making vote; and no one but des.
perate trickster would resort to such a
palpable violation OF the law with any
other intention than 70 commit an out
rage upon honest men and lead them
not only to vote against their friends
but against their honest convictions
This latter tie Democratic leaders in
this county have done, and the honest
men they have deluded by so palpable
trick, can judge how far they are to
to be trusted in the future.

A DAY IN NEW YORK CITY.
BY J. 2. PILLICODDY.

Nine o'clock, Friday morning, found
me trying, as only a country man can
Try, to put on the necessary amount of
style for traveller in New York City.
My first attempt was to eat my breakfast
and read the morning paper at one and
the same time. After various little ac-
cidents which, plainly, excited the risi-
bilities of the walters, 1 gave it up, and
although 1 envied the gentleman who
occupied the next table beyond, and who
accomplished the feat in, to me, most
wonderful and sagacious manner, VEN
tured no more trials, but masticated my
beesteak in true country style. In half
an hour had finished. Going down to
the Office and selecting daintily pointed
toothpick from the case, on the desk,
which was labeled take one"-for fear
probably, that you might take two-I
proceeded to the front steps to quietly
pick my teeth and ponder over the ques-
ton which now presented itselE"How

it was too far and too vast an attempt for
my limited time. O,her sights which

matter, l determined 10 call to nv aid
one of those blue uniformed, walking
cyclopedies of general information,
which everywhere adorn the corners, or
promenade the streets. With this COM
mendable idea lirmly fixed in my brain,
l threw away my now much chewed-up
toothpick which had been such help to
me in my deliberations, buttoned up my
coat tighily-for who knows who of the
people he meets are pickpockets-and
stepping down with the air of man who
has business to attend to, succeeded in
collaring one of the aforementioned fra
ternity in quiet place, and at once told
him my troubles. @Ah, yes" says he,
looking at me, with the utmost feeling,

that he was man Of great perceptions

HERE and there is an honest Demo
crat, whose devotion to party cannot
blind him to the real issues in this
campaign, the hard facts that stand
behind Tilden's sham pretense of re.
form. One of these has just spoken
out at Cincinnati, and his language, an
given verbatim by the Times of that
city, is worthy of consideration. He
was a warm supporter of Governor
Allen, and said concerning the Presi-
Dental candidates:
''That he had very little choice as
between the men, save that he thought
Tilden the ablest of the two; and as
to principles said he 'of course / am

JAMESTOWN, Tenn, Sept. 30, 1876.
Hon. II. Y. Riddle, candidate for re-
election to Congress for this (the

claimed that all losses caused by Fed

ment should be paid alike; that ali the
Southern people are nov loyal. and
that no distinction should be made in
the settlement of claims against the
Government, buteverybody should be
paid, and pledged himself to work to

GAIN OF SEVEN CONGRESSMEN
Republican Majority 5000!
INDIANA REPUBLICAN
Returns Meager, but Showing Decisive
Republican Gains.

The news with which we regale our
readers this week will be received we
are sure with pleasure. There may be
regrets mingled that our own county
did not do better, but amid the cause
we have for general congratulation
and rejoicing, we can afford to forgive
our enemies for gaining a little upon
US in this old stronghold Our friends
have made a gallant fight, and could
the ratio of gains made in Findlay
bave been maintained all over the
county, they would have had substan
tial reasons Tor rejoicing over the r.
suit here at home
But the victory in the Cuyahogs
and Toledo Districts, together with
the gain of Congressman in each OF
the third, sixth, ninth and eleventh,
and also in the Stark County District,
assure US of a change of fourteen in
the Ohio Delegation, and in itself
would be consoling triumph without
the complete victory of s, 900 majority
we have to record for the State ticket.
Milton Barnes, the much maligned
and abused candidate for Secretary of
State, has the satisfaction of beating
his antagonist, Bell, with a vote SO
slightly behind the rest of the ticket
that Bell, the originator of the fabri
cations, must feel poorly repaid for his
ISLANDERS upon a man so much his su
perior III every quality which goes to
make up the gentleman and public
officer,
1t would be useless to recapitulate
the various reported votes and major
tiles as given in the dailies, suffice it
there were gains end losses everywhere
almost, but the aggregate gains were
greatest for the Republicans. At one
time, however, when large Democratic
gains-were reported at Cleveland, the
appearances were dark, but as The
morning dawned the smoke OF battle
cleared away, aad permitted a view of
a hard contested field, and glorious
triumph.
In this District, where every appli-
ance was brought to bear to defeat
Foster, the enemy met their rebuff.
They had brought out candidate who
had been successful in two Senatorial
contests, and with him they expected
to carry the district against Foster.
Their chagrin at their failure is only
equalled by the Joy OF the Republi-
cans ut their glorious triumph. A
majority of 295 will do to jollify over,
especially when it shows a gain of 163
over his previous election.
From Indiana the returns are so
meager that at this writing we are only
able to make the claim made by the
Indiana Republicans that the State has
gone Republican. 1t is believed that
their candidate for Governor, Harrison,
is triumphantly electee, and that they
have made gains in several of the Con
gressional Districts. We expect to
have later news not only from Ohio,
but Indiana, ere we get TO press.

that Governor Hayes was ever q mem
Der Of the Alliance, or ever -aw its
constitution or bylaws, or was ever
waited upon by a committee of the
Order, as had been charged, at any
time or place.

The effect of this report upon for
eigD citizens of intelligence, may be in
ferred by the way in which Carl Schurz
disposes of the charge of Know Moth
ingism as applied to Hayes. In a
speech at Akron On the night of the
9TH Shurz spoke as follows of the
charge:
''This is an utterly reckless charge
l conversed with Gov. Hayes about
the reports concerning this matter
when l saw him about three weeks ago.
The whole thing is based upon nothing
but careless routine answer by Gov.
Hayes Secretary to complimentary
letter. / thing | have answered sini
lar letters in a similar way dozens of
times in my life. To charge Governor
Hayes with Know Nothing sentiments
is the great cstabsurdity tha: can be
imagined. Everybody knowing him
will coafirm what l say. AS foreign
born citizen who loves his rights as
dearly as anybody, do not hesitate
to declare If there is any man in this
country in whose hands would con
consider my rights as safe as in my own,
that man is Rutherford B. Hayes. l
SHALL vote therefore to make linn Pres
ident with feeling of the most abso
Lutte safety"

THE OFFICIAL VOTE FRA I'D.
We give elsewhere the official vote
of the county, with everything figured
out so in detail that reference to the
local ticket is scarcely of use. We
have to congratulate our friends for
the way they worked and voted. A
larger Republican vote than ever be
fore was polled, bat, unfortunately for
us, the Democracy succeeded in OBJ
tanning the heaviest increase. In
Amanda township the returns showed
difference of three votes between
tally sheet and the poll books on the
vote fer Representative. On the poll
sheet there were but 308 names, yet
on Representative there were 81
votes, As Mr. Rose, our candidate,
only received the same vote as was
cast for general candidates on the Re
publican ticket, the fraudulent votes
we're not cast for him. But as Mr..
Sheets, the Democratic candidate got
an increased vote, those three bogus
votes were evidently counted for him.
The trustees of the township neglected
to certify to the poll books, as they
should have done, but certified to the
tally sheet.
