The death of Somer Griffin, at Lodi, Ohio at
the age OF LOG, has already been mentioned. The
local journals give some Interesting particulars
about the man. lie died at last from the effects
of fall while splitting wood in his back yard

age. But for this accident, it is thought, he would
have lived five or six years longer He was q ma.
tive of the village of Simsbury, Hartford County,
Conn, and resided there until he was forty
six, when he started West in mid winter
with his family, carrying his worldly goods in a
box on an old sled accompanied by his wife and
Fl We children. In 10 weeks he reached Medina
county, Ohio, put up log cabin. and made it his
home for many years, removing at last to Lodi, lO
miles distant He was thrice married, and had IL
children by his three wives. He was 70 when be
took his last wife, who was 40 years his junior, who
bore him three children, and who survives him
He always used liquor until short time before his
death, and drank tea and coffee, though he never
smoked or chewed tobacco. He wa. never in a
single day 10 his very long life until after his fall
when he was confined to his bed FIVE or six weeks
In politics be had always taken warm interest,
having cast his maiden vote for Washington on
his second accession to the Presidency in 1898.

Those who imagine that the sharehold-
ers of all the national banks are rolling in
wealth extorted by extravagant rates OF
interest from unfortunate borrowers, will
find food for reflection in the report Of the
Controller of the Currency of the number
of banks which paid no dividends since
the beginning of 1876. For the first six
months of that year the number was 23S
for the second six months, 273; for the
first six months Of 1877, 245; for the sec
ond six months. 2SS; for the six months
ending March /, 1873. 1923; for the six
months ending the LIST of September. 357.
The capital OF the banks earning no divi-
dends was. for the first six months of 1876
S3i, 290 600; for the six months ending
Sept. |, it was S5S, 736, $50. This does
not look as if the monopoly accorded
by our free banking law was a source Of
unlimited and unalloyed profit.

The Western Elections.
AUG Us IA.
Thursday Morning. OCT. 10, 1878.

The returns from The elections of Tues
day have put brighter appearance upon
the prospects of the republican party.
Ohio has done gloriously. rolling up a
handsome republican majority. Iowa has
surpassed herself in support of repub-
lican principles. We shall probably hear
no more from democrats about Blaine's
speaking in that gallant, republican State.
In Indiana we hold our own bravely
against the opposition, and in West Vir-
ginia republican gains are reported. A
glorious days work was that of Tuesday.
1t demonstrates the waning of greenback-
ism in the West where it gained its first
successes. and a returning of the people
to sound ideas upon the currency ques-
ton, and to the republican party as the
defender of the honor and credit OF the
nation.

A Reaction i'm the West,

A Washington correspondent Of the New York
Bulletin, who has been travelling for some months
| 10 the West, sends TO the Bulletin from Milwau-
| kee the following interesting statement:-
The Hon. Stewart l.. Woodford of New York.
who is out here stumping the West on the fnan-
cial issue for the republican party, has just fin
| shed giving your correspondent some views that
are too significant to lose. According to his con-
illusions, the back Of the iLHation movement in
the West and Northwest is broken. The people
here have been slowly but surely getting out OF
debt. Large crops brought large returns. They
begin to understand that breadstuffs and provis-
ions mean gold. In Indiana ten years ago five
men Of every six were infationsts, and the lead
ers of both parties followed the popular impulse.
To. day nearly one half the people even there be-
lieve in specie basis. and there are hard money
political leaders in every town. The greenbsck
wave rolled from the Northwest down to the At
antic. 1t has spent its force and is now highest
and mildest there. Maine and Colorado are per-
feet illustrations of this truth. In Maine the
greenbackers and democrats together outnumber
ed the republicans in this last September election
| In Colorado the republicans yesterday outnumber-
ed the democrats and grcenbackers. The wave
of a sound money sentiment has already started
| from the Northwest, and will sweep down to the
sea. This people are beginning to understand
that all the world to day pays tribute to the United
States. They understand the meaning Of the
phrase that the balance of trade is in our favor
They also understand that the West is to rule this
nation. They begin to comprehend that is better
for them that the world should pay this balance
of trade in coin than that they should manufacture
greenbacks to help pay them. SO long as they
were the debtor section greenbacks had an enticing
look Now that they begin to realize that the world
debtor to the United States and that all the rest
Of the United States must eventually be debtor
to the Mississippi valley, the people of this valley
are quite ready to be paid in coin. The govern
or was quite emphatic n this belief.
