MourytoWn.

l notice in last weeks Hillsboro
Gazette communication from sd.
E. W." of Mourytown. He seems
to be in a great worry about "Grow-
Ter, and undertakes to tell the peo-
pie something about him, begins by
calling him ga jackass, then cur,
&c. Now, did you ever know Dem
ocrat this fall to make speech, talk
or write, but what in very short
time he called somebody liar, or
some other hard name It seems to
be natural.
I'D. E. W" must remember that q
jackass kicks sometimes; also that "a
live dog is better than a dead lion. :"
If we are sour" he no doubt has
found us lively pup by this time.
Another thing: he can't tell the
truth very well, l,or else is not very well
posted. He says 1 have figured for
the Office of Trustee ever since I
came here; he ought to know that
is not true, as I have never been a
candidate for Trustee in my life, and
never expect to be. Then he says
last spring I did get an office; af-
ter three months electioreering was
elected Supervisor. Now that amt
correct. I was not elected and am
not Supervisor this year. I worked
out my tax that the aforesaid I'D. E.
W." or wv. E. D." that lis nearer
right levied, and did it under the
supervision of Mr.. James Buchler.
A word or two in regard to the
Grange. This same W. E. D.
thought the Grange dead year ago,
and he and "Cooney Ben" undertook
the funeral services; now he is help
ing some one else again, at what he
thinks is another funeral. He had
better take warning by the fate of
"Cooney Ben" Let me tell him the
Grange is not very sick yet, so he
need not run for the Doctor. The
Doctor has enough to do to get the
Tilden Club through the fall cam
paign, so don't bother him. The
Doc. is good fellow of the old school
of estate Rights practice. His
motto is, 81 Pukes, I Physicks, and
1 Sweats EN-, and if they dies, why
then l let's en-" Let the Doc. alone
with the Club till after the leaves
fall, and then attend to the Grange.
In regard to the "Bellwether of
the Hayes & Wheeler Club, I assure
W. E. D. he is feeling gay. AS to
the visit of Messrs. Sloane and
Beard, W. E. D. is also in error, for
we would like to have them here
again. Another such meeting, and
that majority would be cut down to
o. The Republicans gained 5 votes,
the Democrats lost 20 at the last
after hard days work on
the part of the DR.. and his Club.
The Club polled the first vote and
the last. 'Catch 'em, Penny! Rats
to your Holes!" We intend to send
D. E. W. and the Club to the head
warters of Salt River next month,
sure! H,trrdh for Hayes !

Some weeks since Demas Barnes,
editor of the Brooklyn Argus, a
Democratic paper, wrote letter to
the Ohio State Journal, denouncing
Tilden as a Democratic candidate.
Democrats pronounced the letter a
fraud, and Lewis G. Mead, of Ovid,
Michigan, wrote Mr.. Barnes asking
him if he wrote the letter in ques-
ton, and if he knew positively that
the charges against Tilden were true.
Mr.. Barnes replied that lie wrote
the letter, and that the charges were
true. He regards Mr. Tilden's ante
cedents as worse than those of Aaron
Burr, or those of any man who ever
before sought such high office in this
country. He pronounces Governor
Tilden corrupt, ambitious, unscrupu-
lous, and despotic.

There is every reason to expect
that William Tweed, once of New
York, late of Blackwell S Island Pen
itentiary, and later of God only
knows where, will support Samuel
J. Tilden's nomination at st. Louis.
Mr. Tweed has means, and can well
afford to spend portion of that So,
100000 he nipped from the New
York taxpayers in the canvass for
Uncle Sammy. He is under obliga-
tions to Tilden for the reason that
the Governor has not made any eff
fort to bring him to justice, and has
permitted the Sheriff of New York
to retain his office after allowing the
greatest rogue of the country to go
scot free. Had Governor Tilden
been disposed he could have had
Tweed Gagged long ago.-[Cincinnati

Ky. Short Horn Cattle.

EDITOR NEWS "A few items con-
cerning recent trip to the Blue
Grass region in Ky. will perhaps in
terest some of your readers.
I left Louisville at 2.40 P. Nj. and
arrived at Winchester, Clark Co., the
same evening. Winchester is live
ly town, of about 5000 inhabitants,
and is noted thereabouts for its short
horned cattle.
From Winchester I went to the
beautiful home of Mr.. Abram Renick.
situated six miles out of town. MIR.
R. has fine large stock farm, of 1040
acres of land, every foot of which is
under cultivation. Blue grass
grows there to perfection Mr..
Renick is noted for being the owner
of the finest herd of Short Horns on
the continent, if not in the world.
He has in his possession 72 head of
females. The herd is known as the
"Rose of Sharon" family. The old
4th Duke Geneva stands at the head
of the herd, and is pure Duchess
bull, whose name will last as long as
Short Horns exist, and whose value
is, forty thousand dollars.
Dr. R. A. Dwyer, of Highland co.
bought calf of Mr.. Renick, weigh
ing eight hundred pounds at six
months old, for which he paid one
thousand dollars. The calls sire is
4th Duke of Geneva, dam, Duchess
the 9Th, one of Mr.. Renick's celebra
ted Rose of Sharon COWS.
In June, Mr.. Renick sold to an
English breeder eight head of heif-
ers for S26,625l His family of Short
Horns are in great demand in Eng
land by English breeders.
1t would well pay any one inter
ested in fine cattle to visit Mr.. Rem
lex and see his noted herd. B. B.
Groom and son, ]. V. Grisby, and
B. F. Vanmeter, are also the owners
of noted herds of fine cattle.

CosT OF RAISING CoRN.-A writer
to the Farmers Union, from Iowa,
says that the stirring of the ground,
planting and harvesting, there, will
make corn cost II cents per bushel,
on the average crop of fifty bushels
per acre. If the corn is fed to a
good breed of hogs, with one acre OF
blue grass pasture to ten hogs, it
will net forty-two and a half cents
per busEel, counting pork at 1925
per hundred.

Election Frauds in NJ. York
CitV.

The Brooklyn Argus, Democratic
paper, but opposed to Tilden, makes
this remarkable showing of the
enormous election frauds practised
in New York city in 1868 under the
auspices of the Tweed and Tilden
ring. The Argus says: G ~
The Democratic vote of New York
city for 1868, the memorable year of
Tilden's election fraud circular, was
1852. Since that time it has
stood as follows:
1869, .79,476 1873, ,.....69, ,7O2
$780,. .86,668 1874, >. 81, ,436
1871. .S3, 1876 1875, 1915
1872, 2,.....77,915
This shows an absolute fraud in
that city alone, of thirty to forty
thousand votes. If that does not
reveal Tilden's duplicity and the
schemes he will resort to, to be
we do not know what will.

Tilden of carrying New York. Should
New York give her vote for Hayes
and the other five doubtful States &C
to Tilden, Hayes would have 10;
electoral votes, or 7 more than need
ed to elect him.
Commenting on the above esti
mates, the Herald says:
There is no possibility of Mr.. Til
den carrying any one of these sixteen
States, which have an aggregate Of
157 electoral votes, or only % less
than majority. If Hayes can gain
28 votes in addition to those OF
which he is already certain, it is as
good as certain he will be elected.
Of the States in the doubtful, or at
least debatable list, the Republicans
might carry four-namely, New Jer
sey, Connecticut, California and Ore
gon-and still fall short of a MAORI
ty by four electoral votes. Unless
they carry either Indiana or New York
they have no chance of success if all
the Southern States vote for Tilden.
1t is possible, but not probable, that
they can recover Indiana after losing
it in the State election with nothing in
the other October States to discour-
age the Democratic party. There is
bare possibility that they might
carry it, but the loss of New Jersey
and Connecticut, which together have
the same number of elector al votes,
would deprive their victory of any
practical value. But if of these six
States they can carry New York they
will get more votes than they need
in addition to those of which they
are already certain. But the success
of the Democrats would not, in like
manner, carry them through. They
will need twelve additional votes.
If they save Indiana they viii get
these twelve votes, with three to
spare. But if they should lose Indi-
ana, neither New Jersey alone, nor
Connecticut alone, would help them
out. They must carry them both, or
carry New Jersey with one of the
Pacific States, or Connecticut with
both of the Pacific. States. In this
extremely doubtful state of the can
vass everything is staked on New
York, which will be the Thermopyl@
of the Presidential canvass. A Re
publican success is certain if they
carry New York, and there are strong
probabilities that if the Democrats
carry it they will get the twelve ad-
ditional votes they will need to give
Tilden a majority. The Republi
cans have every motive for concen-
trating all their efforts in the EN-
pire State, but the Democrats can
not win without carrying some of
the doubtful States in addition to
New York.
10 the above estimates IL may be
added, as an additional complica-
ton, that the Republicans have at
no time abandoned the hope of car
rying Florida a votes,) North Caro-
lima 90 votes,) South Carolina e
votes,, and Louisiana Is votes total
80 votes.
Taking these 20 votes from Tilden's
''solid South" vote of 1873 and add
ing them to Hayes certain 157 votes
from the 16 States North, it will be
seen that Hayes will be elected with
one to, spare should all the six States
classed above as doubtful" go to
Tilden.

The Silver Commission has Sc
lected its three expert members. The
first is Mr.. B. F. Nourse, of Boston,
who sides with Senator Boutwell, in
favoring greenbacks, upholding a
single gold standard and opposing
silver reconciliation. Ex Governor
John A. Dix, the New York member,
is on record with Thurlow Weed as
one of the earliest advocates of sill
yer reconciliation. William S.
Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, is the
Democratic expert. His views are
probably unknown, although the
New York Herald ranks him as
silverist. The double standard men
thus have positive majority in the
Commission when it begins its work.
