WASHINGTON, Jan. I, ll:20 a. NJ.
The President, some days ago,
ordered a lot of cannon and ord
nance stores to be removed from
the St. Louis arsenal to Washing
ton, and to-day he remarked in
relation to the matter, that he
proposed to reverse the precedent
of Buchanan's administration, by
removing warlike stores from the
South to the North,
The result of the recount in
Florida is regarded by all fair
minded men here as II greater out

It is no secret that the recent oc-

under explicit instructions from
the republican headquarters here.

The threshing machine is again
heard in our vicinity. Wheat ard
oats are an average yield. J. T. Crafts
s. Son Ihreshed S3 bushels of whcst
from three acres, Albert Wilson, 22J
bu. oats from four acres, N. p. Squire
s. Son 497 bu. oats from seven acres
of ground, averaging II bu. to the

a good yield.
The young people of this vicinity

In visiting Ravenna on the 25th ult.
dropped in at Citizens Hall. and
there found well, a mass OF crazy
beings trying to sustain the platform
of the Republican State Conyention ;
also trying to find a man among them
who was not the pOssessor of any
Government bonds, railroad stocks,
Sc, as their candidate for Representa-
tive. They "took in" Charles Il. Har.
mou, of Aurora. as their man. Good,
too good! And then to think that
men could adopt such 4 platform.
One plank in that platform is enough
to disgust any thinking man. A man
like Stanley Matthews supporting il
at the ratification meeting! The plank
1 refer to is the Agricultural Bureau,
enlarged to embrace the Industrial
system of the United States and to be
the medium by which the Government
may express to him. the idea that il
! will exercise its Whole constitutional
power 10 bring into harmony with
the necessities of his existence al
| forces of society. 1t is good thing
to difruse information; but l would
think a very bad thing to teach igno
rant people that it is the business o
the Government to furnish them TIM
living that they cannot earn them
selves. And 1 cannot but feel for onl
Portage County Republicans who viii
endorse such doctrines.
While stopping at Ravenna, we hat
the pleasure to be p guest of the Por

We are having a great deal of sick
ness in our village, but none of tn

DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-

healing the affected parts. For all
cases Of hoarseness, suppression or loss
of voice, any severe chronic or linger-
ing cough, brochitis, or affection of the
throat and lungs, it will be found to
far surpass all medicines that have
ever before been offered to the public.

the select school is progressing very
finely under the charge of Mr.. j. W.

small, numbering about seventeen
scholars. The teacher does not intend
abandoning the school but will go

port of the Brimfield correspondent of

mention OF our churches and school

"We have scooped Ravenna, and

thus we suppose it was Ravenna Re-
publicans against the field, the field
winning, and candidates nominated or
defeated without regard to antecedents,
capacity, or previous condition, save
aud except the Auditor, who it seems
was nominated with special regard to
previous cOnditiOn-that Being a fat
Court House Rat for several years. But
that is none of our business, except
where consistency is most conspicuous,
which we all like to see, and which is
fully apparent in the rotation in
Office principle, and the school ques-
ton.
If permitted, we would ask Mr.. c.
r. Harmon, the Republican nominee
for Representative, u question or two.
You know that your party, two
years ago, fell deeply in love with that
Democratic Offspring-the School sys-
tenn of our State. You scared the peo-
pie into the belief, that the Democracy,
if again given a majority in the Legis-
lature, would murder their offspring
the School System. Now, have you
not in the past been an inveterate OPP
ponent Of that system? is
Have you not heretofore held to the
idea that it was not right for the pub
lie to educate the children of the State?
That tax to support schools was ty-
rannical, and that parents should edu-
cate their own children? 1t is but
simple justice to say that you expressed
those sentiments boldly and fearlessly,
and on all proper occasions and that
they were well matured in your mind,
is not questioned.
Have you changed your opinion on
that question? If so, when, and what
was the occasion?
1t is also claimed by your Republic
can ,neighbOrs-Ors some of them-that
you are opposed to our present system
of weights and measures; that you
wish to make some radical change in
the system, which would he very det-
rimental to the interests of our Gran
ger friends.
If elected, would you seek to estab-
lish your views and practices on that
point by Legislative enactment?
We would like to hear from you ON
the above questions; not that we have
any personal interest in the matter,
but we want our Republican friends to
be consistent. III.
