The War i'm the East.

The Russian successes in capturing
four redoubts around Pleva, costly ss
they have evidently been in the de-
structiOn Of human life, are barren OF
results as long as the main position il
held by the Turks. The losses of the
latter must have been comparatively
insignificant, as they were protected
behind their Notifications, while the
Russians were the assailants. The
main position, it is now confessed, can
only be taken by regular siege ap
proaches, and the Russians during the
delay run the risk of being disturbed
by the approach of the Turkish armies
under Mehemet Ali and Suleiman
Pasha, turning the Russian successes
into a disastrous defeat. A despatch
dated at noon on Friday says the bonn
bardment of Plevna and the remaining
Turkish positions was continued and
that the Russians were preparing for
another assault.
Russian official advices report that
on Wednesday Plevna was bomhar
ed, setting fire to the houses. The
Turks directed all their efforts to an
attack on the Turkish left wing, which
threatened their rear. Five furious at

EVE hear of Bob Eaton being all over
the county blubbering for Republican
votes. He is one of the ardent young
Democrats, who, when the fate of the
country seemed to hang in the balance
last winter, and peaceable solution OF
the Presidential problem was being
sought after, stood upon the street
corners and in public places ahout st.
Clairsvjlle and elsewhere, and declared
that Mr.. TiIden should be inaugurated
President of the United States at all
hazards. This Is the kind ofa DEM
ocrat that the gushing young scion OF
the Eaton family is. Professionally
the Republican candidate Is far. the
superior of Mr.. Eaton and has had
lager experience in the practice of the
law. Personally, although not so
naughty 10 his demeanor, ne Is the
peer Of Mr.. Eaton, and should receive
the hearty and cordial endorsement Of
every Republican in the county.

Among the glorious achievements OF

10 its management of the public finan-

to the full during the late Presidential
cam paigu, and the figures then pre-
sented were unanswered and unan-
swerable. Despite the howl which had
been raised over our Civil Service,
swelled by the phsrisaical comments of
our "fool friends" the facts remained
that notwithstanding the immense
burden laid upon the party by the wal

required to be handled, the public cred

But the good work did not end there
Another year has passed, and, despite
the uttermost efforts of a Democratic
House of Representatives to fetter the
Administration, and to cripple its Ia
bors by refusing appropriations, and b,
measures calculated to depreciate ths
public credit, the Republican party i
enabled to point to the financial results
of the year with as much pride as they
did to the previous record. The fol

THE declaration of principles by the
Greenback- Workingmen's party which
met at Columbus, on Thursday, does
not offer anything different enough to
call for separate party. The princi-
pies are these: Payment of the bonds
according to the contract, restoration of
the silver coinage, repeal of the re-
sumption act, wholesome control over
corporate bodies, encouragement of in
dustry, promotion of employment and
the general welfare, a graduated in
come tax, prohibition of ''store pay" to
workmen, the ballot box and not vio-
lence to redress wrongs, public lands
for settlers only, government to issue
greenbacks in place of the bank notes.
There is nothing peculiar in these sen-
timents to call for a new party.

Bro. GAUMER, of the Gazette, please

upon it, ia connection with your Dem

against the Republican party. Presi-

Democratic Science.

From the Pittsburg Commercial -Gazette.j
In the recent robbery of the Auglaize
County Treasury in Ohio, it is noted
that the term of the robbed Treasurer
had expired, but that he had not YET
handed over the Office to his successor
The sum alleged to have been stolen
covered the amount he was to hand
over, and the robbery happened at an
opportune time to cover his inability to
pay up. Treasury robbing, in the Dem
Ocratic counties in Ohio. has been re-
duced to science. The robberies hap
pen SO often as to justify the suspicion
that they happen on purpose.
