lN all the state elections which have
thus far taken place. the Republicans
have lost nothing. but have gained much
in rhe WAY of members of Congress and
Increased majorities. and yet the result of
these elections seem 10 be "a we'll spring

TIE Republicans had Il meeting at the
Snva school house. i'm the township of
Grant. LAST night. which was addressed
by Geo. W. Bell and Watts s. Humphrey.
The attendance WAS not as large as it
should have been. although there was a
fair number out, Including Il number Of
la,lies. Both gentlemen made excellent
speeches, AMI those who failel to attend
missed Il treat.
WATTS :. HUMPHREY and George w.
B, II addressed large political meeting
at Duncan City Oh Monday evening upon
the political issues now pending before
the people. The school house was full.
The meeting was organized by elccting
Mr. j. b. Macarthur, chairman. Both
which. without doubt, will be productive
of much good.
As WE told our readers last week. the
full returns from the late elections did
not vary the result much from the fig
ures which we gave. Ohio went Repub-
lican on the state ticket from seven to
nine thousand. and gain OF four Con-
gressmen, and possibly one other on a
contest. as Banning was undoubtedly
elected by fraudulent votes. The result
i'm Indiana is given elsewhere.
IT will he seen by reference to the card
i'm another column that Messrs. Brown
AMI Humphrey have agreed upon the
conditions of joint discussion, and it
will take place in the court house on Sa:-
urday evening, Nov. 4th. 1t will be no.
ticed that Mr.. Brown has receded from
his claim of having both the opening and
closing Of the debate, and has agreed up
on fair division of the time.
TILDEN says he has his "option'' be-
tween making an incOme-return and not
making it but paying the penalty. Tilden
is a famous lawyer, and the law under
which an income tax was collected says.
sit shall be the duty of any person" liable
to pay such tax ito make list or return"
Tilden shirked his duty and paid the
penalty, and says it is all right. Has Il
thief the ''option" of taking or letting
alone other peoples property, providing
he is willing to ray the penalty?
