Is the Campaign Over2

What has become of the brilliant array
of Republican orators who SHOOK the
forum round and round" in Ohio and
Indiana so recently? These two states
are az silent as church yards, since the
election. The Republican orators. Schurz,
Blaine, Morton, Sherman, Bristow and
Harlan have flown away, somewhere, like
summer birds before the autumn gales.
Mr., Schurz no longer ''electrifes" the
people of Ohio with his luminous homilies
on finance; Morton has folded the in
carnadined shirt aud gone to California to
solve the Monaghan problem land Blaine nc
longer utters his hoarse warnings about
the solid south" and the four thousand
millions of rebel claims.
What is the matter2 What is the ex-
PLANTATION of this voiceless silence that
broods over the Republican camp in Ohio
and Indiana? Is the campaign really
over? Have the Republicans given up
Indiana. and even abandoned Ohio, also
to Tilden? 1t would seem so,for, although
tits more than two weeks to the presidential
election and Indiana was called the ''pivota
state" whose vote was necessary to Hayes
the leaders have let 60 their hold and ceased
to make an effort to recoDquer the GROUND
they lost there week ago.

Democrat. He was appointed to be assis
tant secretary by Mr.. Lincoln in the yeal
1862, after Lincoln had been president
nearly two years. He was not discharged
but resigned. because his arduous labors
in the public service had utterly broken
down his health. He was Republican
then and since, but the understandable cor

awakened his mind to the necessity Of

The Unaon unjustly refused to publish
Sheriff Housings letter, after being politely
requested to do so. and when it contained
not a disrespectful word to any living
being. Then, the sheriff denounced Cook,
the author Of the unpleasantness,in fitting
terms. And thus morning the Union
founders around through half a column of
twaddle and says, ''The matter may be
simmered down into nutshell" Yes,
that is so, and we will simmer it down,
thusly: Mr.. Reid requested the sheriff to
violate an order of the board of super
visors and be declined to do SO,
whereupon j. V. Cook rushes up to the
Union Office and commences lying about
the sheriff. That's all there is of it.
The offices of the county clerk and of
the circuit clerk had been, for years, used
improperly. Certain persons, who were
bumnipg around late at night drinking
poor whisky for the Republican party, had
used those Offices to sleep off their debauch,
and gas, at full head. sometimes on all the
burners, had been used all night year after
year. People passing there, at daylight in
the morning, have seen it. The gas from
the sheriff's house, the Jail rooms, the
county clerks Office, the circuit clerk s
Office and the rooms over these offices, was
all measured through the Jail meter, and
the enormous and unnecessary consump-
ton of gas was all charged up to the
sheriff's Office. The board of super.
visors, seeing no other way to cut
down the improper use of gas in the offices
OF these clerks, cut it off from the entire
building. except the inside of the jail
rooms. leaving it there as being safer
than oil. The clerks petitioned the board
at its last meeting to have the connection
with the Jail meter restored, and the
board, almost unanimously. refused tc
allow it. Then j. V. Cook through
Reid, attempted to get the sheriff to violate
she order of the board, and because the
sheriff would not do so Cook uses the
Uaion to lie about him.
Mr.. Huesing told Reid that the board
had not ordered gas shut off from the
ROOMS in the court house building, anc
that he had no objection to their use, if the
clerk wanted them evenings-that person
ally he had no objection to gas in the Other
building, but he could not permit an order
of the board to be violated. That's the
whole story.
The clerk did not choose to use the
rooms 10 the court house building, anG
does not hire more help, If the clerk were
anxious to save expense to the county he
would rut on more men and use no gas at
all, thus saving the county any expense
for light, and hurrying forward the work
by sunlight, which is free for all, 1t will
cost no more to pay six men for one month
| than one man for six months-and there
are plenty of good, competent men who
want work and can do it just as we'll as the
two now enjoying monopoly of it. The
men are paid by the hour. Pot on few
more of them, by daylight only-that vii
be economy for the people, and help few
more men to living in these hard times

Grange Lecture.

Thursday afternoon number of far
mers connected with the various oranges in
this county, aud also number of people
from this city met in the court house to
listen to the remarks of Mr.. A. b. Smed-
ley, Of Iowa, lecturer for the National
Grange. His subject was in relation to
the necessity of farmers organizations and
the good the farming community could ac-
complish if uuited--and as proof showed
the progress of agricultural communities
wherever oranges had been organized.
Mr.. Smedley was formerly grand master
OF the state grange of Iowa, and lately

Two More Votes for HAYES,

Jake Rehm, the chief conspirator of the
Chicago Whisky Ring. who was put behind
bars by the determined efforts of Secretary
Bristow, was pardoned out of prison on
Monday by the President of the United
States.
Anton Caesar Hessing, the rascally Boss
of the Ring, has been enjoying the free all
for several weeks. also pardoned by the
President of the United States.
These two men and their c1nfederates,
all of whom are now free. pardoned out Of
prison by the President of the United
Estates. robbed the nation of more thar
three million dollars.
Hessing was an educated, accom- plisheo
man, politician who dictated nominations
to congress and to the legislature. Rehm
his chief tool. was a vulgar, sordid, I'LL ter
ate scoundrel. The pair were equally
bold, equally unscrupulous. aud equally
prominent IN one of the most infamous
schemes of public villiany to be found il
history.
