Fer the Eagle.
From Van Vert Ohio.

Ed. EAGLE: As | am q reader of
your valuable paper, and am always
glad to hear from that part of the west
so | will give you few items from
this, northwest part of Ohio. First
have had q wet season from the 1st of
May to the last of August, and the
corn crop is very short. Oats and the
wheat both rusted and did not aver
age more than seven bushels to the
acre and not very good quality at
that. Fall wheat which was sowed
early looks well. Fruit of most all
kinds has been plenty aud some to
spare. Apples are a full crop and
cheap, the best selling for thirty cents,
and dull sale at that. There has been
a good deal of sickness here this fall,
mostly ague and now when we meet a
man instead of biding him the time of
day, we ask him how he likes the
shakes. l believe that | am safe in
saying that nine out of every ten farm
ers here would sell out and 90 west, if
the could find buyer. Politics are
red hot and the Democrats want to bet
on Indiana. The next twenty four
hours will settle it, aud we will bet an
old straw hat that it will be close
race. lam taking up too much room
i'll your paper and will stop at this. |
aspect to be in Wichita by the 1st of
April, 1877. l hand the EAGLE now
and then to my ncighbors and good
many questions arc asked me. Send
your paper and oblige, E. DELoNG.

Silver Change.

Silver coin is not so popular in the
west as supposed it would be. Every
body gets rid of 1t by paying it out in
preference TO the postal currency.
Post offices and small dealers are over
run with it. The sub-treasures in
large cities continne to pay out silver
for greenbacks as well as for fraction
al currency. Only last week large sum
was sent from San Francisco mint to
the sub-treasures. That mint is turn
ing out coin at an unusually rapid
rate. In September it coined S9,000,-
600 in gold and 81, 000,000in silver, be-
ing 1882, 900 more than for the cor
responding month of last year. Its
coming for the nine months of this
year, ending with Septembcr,wa $l3,-
$4,000 which is an increase of SO, 740,-
000 over tho corresponding period of
last wear

DOUBTFUL.
Total number of electoral votes. 49,.
NocessarV tn choice

The Republicans have 16l votes sure.
They have, therefore, only to get 81
votes from all the doubtful list to gain
the election. If we gain New York
it lets US out. If we gain New Jersey
and Indiana, both of which States we
stand more than an equal chance for,
we elect. If we get California, Con-
necticut, New Jersey and Oregon or
West Virginia, we win the day. In
short we have only to gain "a votes
out of 100 doubtful ones to make us
sure of victory.
Now let us turn the tables. To elect
Tilden. the eDmocrats must carry, not
only all the States we have given them
but must gain II votes from the doubt
full list. If they lose New York, even
though they carry all the other doubt
full States, they are gone up the
spout" give them, even, besides the
votes in our table, South Carolina,
North Carolina and Louisiana add to
these Indiana and they still lack thirty
seven votes Of election, and would
have to carry New York, and one 9TH
er State. Give them ''solid South"
including every Southern State, and
they still lack forty-seven votes of an
election.
Hence we say that even if the Demo-
Gratis nave carried Indiana, they have
simply saved themselves from the GER
tainty of defeat, and have prolonged
the contest to November, with the
chances against them at that time

Senator Morton's Opinion.

Senator Morton passed through Bur.
lington, Iowa, on Wednesday night
last, en- route to California. He in.
formed areporter Of the HaWkeye that
he was well satisfied with the result OF
the election in Indiana, and that Hayes
is sure to carry the State in November.
Thousands of men, he said, who voted
for Democratic candidates for State
officers. would never vote for Demo
cratic President, and especially such a
candidate as Tilden. Indiana might
be counted on safely for HAYES. The
Republicans had made a splendid
fight, and reduced the Democratic
majority of two years ago more than
12,00G. Next month it would all be
wiped out.

A GREAT REFoRMER souELcHEp.
The Democratic Nominee for the Third Congress
sional District Shown IN.

Since the nomination of Davis by
the Democrats at Emporia, the EAGLE
has several times asked who Davis
was. The answer comes from differ
ent source than expected. The Globe
Democrat, of last Friday, shows up
this t. l.. Davis in the light Of q gay
Lothario. 1t will be remembered that
this miserable specimen Of fraud was
a delegate to the Democratic National
Convention at st. Louis. After the
convention was over be started for
Kentucky. On the train was widow.
To this widow he paid assiduous at
tention, in fact, devoted himself, and
before leaving her persuaded her to
agree to correspondence. As soon
as this thing, who aspires to represent
the great Southwest in Congress, re-
turned home to his wife and children
he writes letter TO this lady, telling
what a big man he was, how sure he
would beat Tom. Ryan for Congress,
and then declaring his love for her.
Following his declaration in few
days he got her picture and sent his
own. Then in another letter told her
she would meet him as Congressman
in November The Globe Democrat
gives the whole of his letters, which
are sickening to the last degree. He
calls her his golden haired beauty; de-
claring that her image is before him
night and day, and much more. A
friend Of the ladv's, fearing that all
might not be right, wrote to Eureka
and of course learned the true state of
the case. Davis, finding this out
wrote letters, begging like a whelp,
and asking her not to expose and
thereby ruin him. But it was no use
a brother-in-law had got OH the track
of the scoundrel and would not hold
up until his dark and outrageous pro-
ceedings had been fully exposed.
This man Davis is the fellow that
the Democrats have set up to beat
Tom. Ryan. He is the fellow who adj
vertises himself for Wichita OIL the
9th, the day set by the Republican
speakers. Out upon him The honest
Democrats of Wichita ought to rotten
egg him out OF town if he puts in an
miserable thing, who
is asking the highest honors at their
hands, but who, it seems, is more de-
serving of the penitentiary.

oa-tain for Haras IN Nogtmbcr.

II should be understood that had IN
diana been swept clean by the Demo
Gratis, it would not be a Republican
loss. The State went Democratic in
1874 by 1900 majority. On the con-
trary, however, the Democrats, so far
from carrying the State, have lost four
members OF Congrcss, and The Repub-
licans carry the Legislature, while the
Democratic majority of 1874 is nearly
wiped ont. The State is certain for
HAYES in November.

It's too Bad.

Another Republican outrage has
about come to a bead. Boss Tweed's
baggage and all his private papers
have been seized by "thc minions" of
Grant, and have, been forwarded TO
Washington instead of New York and
Tilden will not be permitted to in
spect the documents until they appear
in the column of the Radical press.
This unspeak lble outrage Of despot-
ic Government cannot be too bitterly
denounced by the reform press.

The True Inwardness of the Case.

Blue Jeans majority in Indiana is
barely 5000. The Democratic candi-
date for Secretary of State, John Neff,
was elected in October, 1872, by near
ly $4,000 majority, yet the following
month Grant carried the State by
something over $4,000. So it will be
next month. Hayes will carry the
State by rousing majority. Mayor
Hope and the boys can put that in their
pipes. Thousands voted for Jeans in
the State election who will vote for
Hayes on the November ticket.

TEE WAY IT TURNED OUT.
rno Full Returns Of Chic and Indiana.

The Republican majority for Barnes
in Ohio is little over 1000 For the
other candidates on the same ticket
over 10000 a gain Of five RepublI-
can Congressman IS decided, and Stan
ley Matthews and John Howard will
contest for their seats with good
show Of success.
In Indiana we have gained jnst four
Congressman. which leaves Indiana
but four Democratic Congressman out
of thirteen.
These figures are true and reliable.

Hayes Election Now Conceded.

AS the case stands to-day, Haye:
and Wheeler's election may be con
conceded. The fight has been made
for the west, and it has won for the
Republicans. The Democrats will
now be compelled to adopt the orlgi.
nal programme laid down by the nom
nation of Tilden-a solid South and
an effort for New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut.

a Change Demanded.

The people demanded change, and
they have changed the Democratic
majority of Indiana from 1900 to A.
900. They have also commenced the
work of change in the complexion of
the next Congress. Let the good
work 20 on.

Some Figures for November

The result of the elections OH Tues
day, the 10th inst, will undoubtedly
be to proloug an active and uncertain
campaign up to the very day of the
Presidential election in November.
Had the Republicans carried Indiana
as they carried Ohio, the contest would
have been virtually decided but not
Notwithstanding our gains in Ohio
are large in Indiana, the result leaves
it among the doubtful States. The
burden of the fight, to must now be
transferred to New York, for even
with Indiana, the Democrats must
carry New York, or they are defeated
beyond doubt.
Let us, Therefore, take brief survey
of the field. The States, as to their
electoral vote, may be thus divided:
