PET NAMEs.-Our amiable, piOus,
pure, and patriotic neighbors of the
Portage County Republican Democrat
have ransacked the lexicon for opprO-
bious names to apply to their neigh
bors who have the audacity to disagree
with them upon political subjects, and
these are some of the pet names which
they employ towards them: " Blath-
erskite," gutter-snipe," copper
head.n dog" confederates, - reb-
els,n and so on to the eud of the chap
ter. This may be very dignitied and
becoming language for editors making
great claim to all the christian virtues,
to employ towards men i'll every way
their peers, aud Il very powerful aud
effective manner of treating the great
questions which so deeply concern the
interests of ths nation ald the people.
But at any ether time and upon. any
other occasion it would b. legarded by
decent men as the lowest and most
disgusting blackguardisin.

THE Republican newspaper liars are
resting and wondering what they will
be able to do to infiame the Northern
people between this and November.
They talked about the Rebel Claims,'
waved the bloody shirt, howled about
the Solid South" and were dirtier
and nastier than at any period since
the war. BY all this they were able to
squeeze out a small majority in Ohio,
and were handsomely whipped in In
diana 1t is evident that the people of
the North can't be scared into declar-
ing war on the South for the crime of
attempting to get rid of thfeying
carpet-bag government. - s'iHe. Z

IT is specimen OF high-toned jour-
nalism for 2 truly pious and good edi-
tor Of great moral, intellectual aud
popular newspaper to pick up the pri-
vate letters Of respectable citizens who
make no preientious to literary cul-
ture, and parade them before their
readers uer6atim ct Hteratim Tor the
purpose of casting ridicule upon the
writers. Forty years of experience in
editorial life has educated our neigh
bors of the "Portage County Republi.
can Democrat" to just that lofty posi-
tion in the journalistic profession.
But when they have achieved as sig
nal .uccess in the line of their calling
as Mr. Bean, whom they so basely at.
tack, has in his, it will be in order for
them to hurl their missils at him.

DIR. A. S. Crafts and lady left for
Wisconsin on the 2:12 train Wednes-
day afternoon. The Doctor has devO
ted himself so closely to business for
some years past, that he will undoubt-
edly enjoy an exemption from profess
sianal duties, while his excellent wife
is known to be such home body"
that every one is surprised at her te-
merity in going away to leave it even
for few days. We trust they will
have Il jolly good time, and return
safely. DIR. J. M. Crafts attendsto the
business of the firm during his fathers
absence.
MIR. Ed. Chapman has moved into
the house of Mr.. Ulysses Sphinx on the
flat east of town, and the former occu-
pant, H. p. Cook, has gone into the
Gallagher house, OH Main Street. Mrs.
Gallagher is living with her daughter,
Mrs. John Kelley. yHar tE-
P.O Chalker has bought house
aud lot of VIM. II. Smith, west of the
school house. and gone to housekeep-
ing. The house is a new one, having
been put up last season. Mr.. G. paid
for the property $1,000. We woold
like to have every young man in our
place invest in a home within our bor-
ders, not only securing added comfort
to themselves, but enlarging their in

r. p. Hutchinson, of Hiram, and
Miss George Farr, of this place, left
the morning of the Ilth inst. for the
Centennial, via Ravenna.
A. Y. Farr has recently returned
from the city of Brotherly Love, and
reports the show AN affair of some
magnitude.
The election last Tuesday passed Off
quietly, though q larger vote was poll
ed than for some years. Hardly man
of either party was allowed to shirl>
his duty, on any pretense whatever.
The result in Indiana, West Virginia,
and even Ohio, if not sufficient TO
make the Democracy over-jubilant, is
of nature to make them hopeful, and
t. encourage L to believe that the time
is not distant when the giant cOrrup
ton will be hucked" F" off by the
wirey, persistent mustang of reform.
Our dingy post Office has one bril-
liant thing about it, and that is the
cheerful rays of a reflector lali1p o
dark nights, which serves to drive
away the gloom heretofore skulking
around that rluch frequented locality.
Alas! when can we chronicle anything
tending to relieve the desolateness and

where, like Noah's ark, enter male. and

delightful; where the female, if she
is or is not retiring and modest, is sub,
jected to the rude gaze and luder jests
of strange men; where the odor of the
fragrant weed assails the nostrils, and
our not exactly virgin soil mingles in
beautiful proportions with the eXpec-

the disgusting nastiness of the subject

THE REASON FOR IT.-One reason
why the South is solid is because her
Radical rulers increased her debt, from
1865 to 1876, from $50, 1894, 19S to the
enormous sum of S315, ISL, 143. If Ohio
was afflicted with such state of gov
ernment as cursed any Southern State
during 1869 and 1870, she would speed
lily become solid for reform. Some of
the Governors and Congressman elect
ed in the South since the war could
not be elected to Constable's position
in the most utterly demoralized pre-
cinct OF any Northern city. ~

GEoRGIA's bonds are as high in the
New York markets as Ohio's. The
cause of this is that the State has been
controlled by the etax-payers--of course,
we mean the Democrats-and not by
thieving Radicals for some years,
North Carolina and South Carolina,
whose Governors and Judges have
been Republicans since the war, can
not sell bonds in the Northern mar
kets, and their debt and taxation has
brought both States to the verge Of
bankruptcy and repudiation.

The majority for Garfield In this
District is given at $3.50. As the
cockney would say that is pretty hatey.
The Radicals rallied on the Reserve
quite "copiously". Their majority is
put down at 81 ,2S4.
The administration is preparing to
carry South Carolina and Louisiana
for the Republicans by the bayonet.
The Democratic House will be a lion
in their path. s
The Republicans claim a gain of ten
Congressman in Ohio and Indiana.
This is the result of gerry Wandering
these States. They will hardly make
sufficient gains to give them maiori-
ty in the next House.
The expenditures for the last seven
years i'm the Indian Department
amount to $5l, ,S5l ,Gl5 26. This is just
double the amount that was expended
during President Johnson's Admins
