DON'T BE BTILDOZEU.

We understand some Of the township
trustees in Democratic townships have
declared that they would not receive
the vote of a married man who had
moved into their township with his
family since the Registration was made.
This is all right, if the married man has
moved from another county, but il Is
all TrOng, if he has been a resident OF
the county long enough 10 have been
a voter, without registering, at the
bocie he moved from. In that case be
is entitled 10 vote if he moves into the
township on election day-just exactly
IS he could have done before the reg
istry law. was passed. There has been
no change Of the election law IN this
respect. In other words, if be is
a voter, and has resided in the county
$50 days, he is voter i'll the county,
and can move from one township TO
another on election day and vote.
That is the law, and an action would
lie against the Trustees who presumed
to prevent him from voting.

do this. On the contrary, we know,
when yoa consider the matter, you
will not. Men Of the opposite party
recognize the fact that We are just on
The verge Of practical resumption; and
only refuse to acknowledge the fact

The steady persistence in the return to

The re -monetization of silver in this
country will have the effect, at once of
increasing its commercial valne, and
of correspondingly reducing the value
of gold by occasioning less demand for
it. The next effect will be to make
gold, silver and greenbacks more near
ly equivalents in value. The green
hacker, Per Sc, need not then fear Its
disappearance from the market. Val
ued as gold is valued, purchasing as
much as the gold or silver, it will not
seek redemption, and hence the volume
of currency will be fully equal to the
wants of trade" because gold, silver
and greenbacks will circulate together.

The 1RI-STATE FAIR opened on
Monday at Toledo, and from the ef-
forts made and the manner 10 which
exhibitors responded we judge it will
meet with marked success. Many of
the large dealers closed their stores on
Wednesday, from II o'clock, noon, till
6 p. NJ, ia order to attend the fair and
afford their employees an opportunity
10 do so.

DON'T DO IT.

As the election approaches offers of
trade will be made. Candidates on
the Democratic ticket, who have rea
son to fear they will be beaten, will
instruct their friends to ''trade off" a
vote for one OF the other candidates in
order to secure one for them. Don't
do anything of the kind. To do it is
dangerous. You can rely upon it that
when they make such all effort to con
centrate vote, they are afraid they
are beaten on that candidate and they
want your vote TO help them ont.
