WHY is the Republican party like
the sun? Because it goes down in the
West.
CAN'T some of the Radical stumpers
this fall just get up and howl, and give
their hearers genuine old fashioned
bloody shirt harangue. How very
pleasant it would sonud.
JUDGE WEST thinks the '';emoneti-
zation of silver is at best hazardous
business" The Judge thinks nothing
but gold is good enough for the priv
ileged classes.
SOME of the modern improvements
are shaking in their shoes. The gas
companies are afraid of the electric
light, and the telegraph people have
their ears set to catch the first wbis-
perings Of the telephone.
The Democrats open the campaign
tonight by meetings at Columbus and
Lancaster. The former will be ad-
dressed by Hon. Geo. II. Pcndleton
and the latter by Hon. Thomas Ewing.
The colored men have given the
Radicals of this State all the majority
they have had for years, and yet i'll
their State Convention they didn't
even so much as say, thank you. gen.
tlemen,
The conundrum which puzzles some
of our Summit county friends is, I" Is
Marvin, the Radical candidate for Sem
atof, in favor of Garfield for Senator ?
The nominee don't seem disposed to
throw any light upon the subject.
AFTER the Republicans in Congress
have given all the public lands worth
having to Railroads the Conventions
of that party are engaged in reiterat-
ing their opposition to granting lands
and subsidies to railroads and other
corporations. Consistency, thou art
indeed a rare jewell.
The Portsmouth Times says of Prof.
Lukens, the Republican candidate for
State School Commissioner: "The
Professor succeeded in proving his in
ability to govern the schools of Ports
mouth to the satisfaction of our people
and was cheerfully permitted to de-
part"

The Bellefontaine Examiner, pub
lished at the home of Judge West,
says: "The intelligent opinion here
is that Mr.. West will fall at least 300
votes behind his ticket in this county.
The explanation OF this is that great

happy as they think they otherwise
would be-"
