cause their father, mother and other

treated, it did not justify them in raid

thy is sentimental gush. They deser 'e

have their hearts united, meet to per

be no such thing as failure. This great
Institution of learning was endowed
and fostered by Washington and other
patriots of the Revolution, and it is
therefore National chool of learning

HERE is the way the Radicals pro-
pose to reform things within their own
party-that is to endorse the acts and
doings of their Chief Executive.
For instance, Belknap, their Secretary
of War. proved to be rascal. When
caught and exposed by the Democratic
party, he rendered his resignation,
which was accepted by Grant with
great regret" After this, the Re
publican party endorse Grant. and
Governor Hayes also endorses the
party that endorsed Grant. Is it not

To aslooker on. in Venice, il was
plainly evident that the Democrats
composed the Intelligent portion of
the assembly, and that railroad ne
grocs, some cffice holding whites, and
q few illiterate specimens Of the "dear
people were the main stay Of the
Radicals. God grant that even these
few may see the error Of their way and
seek the fold by the 9TH of November,
and that Pulaski will give such set
back to Radicalism ON that day, that
il will never dare rear its head again
in the county. From all we can see
and hear. the Democrats are sure Of
victory, aud will leave no stone I'M
turned that will aid them in an hon
orable accomplishment fthat victory.
We understand that the Radicals are
banking heavily on the increased vote
they will receive from the itinerant
railroad negroes, but steps are being
taken by the Tllden and Hendricks
Club, to ascertain who are legally
entitled to vote, and let them and no
Others vote.
The Radicals had a sickly sort OF a
demonstration. on Monday night, but
what in the nation they were demon
strating for. the good Lord only
knows, unless they see the utter hope

A gentleman, just from Minnesota,
and by the way Republican, says
that he took pains on every train and
boat. that he boarded, to get vote Of
the passengers on the Presidential
ticket, and found that at least three to
one we're for Tilden. Hendrick, and
Reform. This may be said to be a
pretty stout straw in showing how the
political breeze is blowing.
The continued cold snap, Of the last
week or two, reached its climax on
Monday morning. when the heavy
frost gave the earth the appearance of
having received quite a respectable
snow, and ice was abundant half an
inch thick. Some of the farmers,
residing on Wolf creek, in this county,
tell US that they are pleased to have
the cold weather. as it will kill out the
grasshoppers that are 80 very numer-
Gus, that they have been afraid, as
vet, to SOW their wheat. If the pres
ent cold spell is indicative Of the COM
ing winter, and the many other signs
hold good, we would advise our friends
to lay in an additional amount Of coal
and wood. for we are going to have a
hard winter.
We cannot close without a mention
of our old friend and patron. G. H.
Enscl. He is doing the best business
Of the season, and when we looked

TINS Radicals BLASTED and crowed
loud and long over their prospects in
Indiana and West Virginia, aud
claimed. prior to the election, that
they would carry Ohio by $4,000
majority. Aher the election, their
crests fell. when the news came that
Indiana was Democratic by $500,
and West Virginia by $4,000. Ohio,
instead Of going Radical by $4,000
gave only the small amount Of 5000.
How have the mighty fallenl In
Indians, several Of our Congressman
we're elected by 5000 to 1900. This
doubtless secures the State for Tilden
by at least $4,000 majority. While
we have lost few Congressman, in
Ohio and Indiana. though local mat.
tiers, we will gain more than we lose,
by sending members from several Of
the Southern States, which we're Radi-
cal before. There is but little doubt
that our majority. in the Lower House,
will be as great or greater than It was
at the last session. The Radicals
claimed to have captured the Indiana
legislature. entire. but our best infor.
matiun is that we will have a majority
Of two on joint ballot. We have
