NOTES HERE AND THERE.

Let no Bristow man escape.
1t is amusing to see how anxious the
Radicals are that Hendricks should de-
cline. That tells the story.
-Tilden and Hendricks clubs already
dot the land, Almost every village has
one or is preparing to have one.
The Democrats of the 18th district
this state, have nominated Hon. John r.
Eden for reelection to congress.
Three fourths of all the German pa
pers in the United States give the st.
Louis ticket and platform warm support.
''Tilden can never be elected is the
Radical cry, yet nearly all the Republican
journals are fixing up cabinet for him.
Another straw.
There are 5000 troops in the southern
states. If 900 of them had been with
Custer we would not now be mourning his
death and that of his command.
Carl Schurz has obtained employ
ment. That little accidental meeting
with Hayes at the Columbus depot con-
tinued long enough to fix the terms.
-'Raf 'wheeIer'nays' said a drunken
post Office editor the other evening He was
right--the nays have it by large majority.
The number of nays is daily increasing.
John T. Behrens is laying a substan-
tial 2 inch sidewalk in front of bis resi-
dence on Gutter street, feet in width by
100 in length. May others do likewise.
Hon. P. l.. Cable has clipped the
Usage hedge which surrounded his
property, making it even with the fence
Gazette. There is no Usage hedge on the
premises.
The German citizens Of Cincinnati are
almost unit for the st. Louis ticket, aud
express great Indignation at the 1Festllche
Post for its abuse of the Democracy and
its nominees.
Dead men tell no tales" says the
st. Louis Times. Custer will make no
further revelation of 'crookedness' in the
war office. Grant sent him west, and the
Sioux have effectually closed his mouth. .
Tits now reported that Bristow refused
to receive certificate of character froul
Grant in the fear that if caught with it he
would never get another situation. He
was in Hayes's employment at the last
election.
-"Hazen Wheeler!'' exclaimed an en-
thusiastlc Republican on hearing the news
of the Cincinnati nomination. Just as
predicted. We couldn't have named a
better man.
A meeting has been called for mex
Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, in the ole
Masonic hall, over the First National Bank
for the purpose of organizing Hayes 4
Wheeler club.
--"TilGen Republicans are turning vi
rapidly They are class of honest MEL
who think for themselves, and see no hop,
of reform under an administration tina
would go into power Endorsed by Grant.
| Judge Stallo, of Cincinnati, the leade
Of the German element in Ohio, re
pudiates Hayes and Wheeler for the bet
ter ticket made at St Louis. Last fal
Judge Static supported Hayes for gov
ernor.
The Republican papers are getting in
to hot discussion as to Gov. Hayes re
ligious views 1t is hardly worth while L
attempt the settlement of the questio
until the religious views Of Mr.. Lincoln ar
decided upon by an official declaration Q
the party.
