AFTER all, Hon Stanley Matthews has
in no way been injured in the estimation
of people who have carefully read all that
has been elected by the Potter Commit
tee Some people who feel that his in
fuence was not thrown in their favor
are willing to consider him very bad
man, but we venture to say that in the
estimation of the people of this county
he standz as well as before the attempt
was made to crush his influence with the
people and the administration. A CORE
spondent from New Philadelphia, Ohio,
where a reunion of Senator Matthews
I'D regiment is to be held, writes: ''Col.
Matthews will find when he comes to
Tuscarawas that the unsuccessful efforts
of Butler Potter 4 Co. to crush him
have been the means of increasing his
popularity ten-fold among his old sol
diers and fellow-citizens, and they will
give him such reception as will demon
strate the fact"

A special dispatch to the Chicago
EUenin6 Journal, dated Oct. 14th, re-
ports that the Democrats of South
Carolina continue to refuse to allow
Republican meetings to be held with
out dividing the time with their op-
ponents. At the same time the Dem
ocrats absolutely refuse to divide the
time at their meetings with the Re-
publicans. The Democrats enforce
their demand for division of time
with the Republicans by aid Of the
State militia companies. armed with
guns furnished by the United States
Government, at the request of Wade
Hampton and Senator Butler. All
the accounts agree that the Demo-
Gratis are trying to terrorize the Re-
publicans, and that Wade Hampton
is doing nothing TO protect the latter
In their rights. In the district repre-
sented by Congressman Smalls, the
Democrats have a body OF fifty arm
ed men to ride to every point where
Republican meeting is called, and
demand division OF the time, and
when this is refused, they boldly
break the meeting up.

The October Elections.

The smoke has now cleared away
and the result of the election Tuesday
of last week may be briefly summed
up as follows: The Republicans have
carried Ohio and Iowa, but have lost
Indiana. The Democratic majority in
the latter State being about as large
as the Republican majority in Ohio
from ten to fifteen thousand. The
Democrats have also elected a major
ity of the members of the legislature,
thus securing the return of Voorhees,
to the United States Senate. While
the result may-taken as whole
be considered triumph for the Re-
publicans, they have as compared
with the election Of two years ago
lost seven members of congress, but
this was owing to the redistricting Of
Ohio by the Democracy, and the COM
bination OF the Democrats and Ma
tionals in Indiana and Iowa. Both

of the contest badly demoralized.
The small vote received by the Ma
tional Greenback party, so called, was
not only surprise to them, but to
everybody else. In many counties
whore they were supposed to be the
strongest it was found that they
scarcely had an existence. In this
State where their organs claimed a
hundred thousand votes and three
congressman, they cast only about
one-third of that number, and with
the help Of the Democrats, not by
their own votes, elected one congress
man. They claimed a hundred thou
sand votes and three congressman In
Ohio, and they cast as nearly as can
be learned from the returns, about
twenty-f five thousand votes. and cleo
ted no congressman. By uniting
with the Democrats in Iowa they
managed to help them elect two con-
gressmen, but it is evident that with
out help from the Democracy they
would not have been able to elect a
single congressman anywhere 1t is
absurd for them to talk any longer OF
a great popular movement.
The Democratic party, by the COM
binations that it has made with the
Nationals, and by its advocacy of one
policy in one section and an entirely
different policy in another section OF
the country, has become badly de-
moralized and its iron organization is
broken, while the Republican party
comes out of the contest thoroughly
organized and united, unit in favor
of honest money, with more members
of congress than in 1874, and with
better prospects for future success
than it has had at any time during
the past FIVE years.

frightful. Mr.. Tilden dies of too
much cipher, and Mr.. Thurman OF too
much "Ohio idea," and Mr.. Hendricks
OF too much communism, and all the
Massachusetts Democrats OF too
much Butler. "In the country OF the

The National Greenback vote in
Ohio will not exceed 10000: This is
great surprise to all parties. but
only confirms the opinion expressed
by the REPUBLICAN during the cam
paign, that wherever the Greenback-
ers had shown any considerable
strength in the past, they would lose
heavily at present. The fiat idea
cannot stand discussion. Whenever
men begin to read both sides and
think for themselves they cease to
vote the National ticket.

Our PAPER.

The campaign Is over and we
shall now have more room for local
and general news, correspondence,
and literary matter. We shall labor
to make the REPUBLICAN worthy OF
the patronage of evey family in the
county. We candidly believe that no
family can afford to do without a
county paper, and we believe that il
every man would subscribe and pay
for his county paper, thus enabling
the publishers to expend on it the
time and labor to make a paper that
would represent ell the varied inter-
ests Of the county, he would in return
receive more than ten times the
amount paid for the paper in the in
creased value of what he has to sell.
and in the new branches Of trade and
business that would be opened up,
giving employment and increased
wages and prices to all. As local
and family newspaper during the
coming year, the REPUBLICAN will be
excelled by no county paper in the
State. It will contain the latest home
and foreign news In condensed
form, and up to the latest hour Of 60
ing to press. It will be Newspaper
In the truest sense Of the word. and
will contain twice as much general
news as any other paper Of its size
published in this part Of the State.
1t is carefully edited, and its selec-
ted literary articles, gems of thought,
items Of interest, wit and humor COL
umns,agricultural and domestic intel
hgence, and educational articles,
make it the paper for everybody, and
we hope all our readers will endeavor
to get US new subscribers, and that
all who are in arrears will see the ne
cessity Of Immediately paying up,
that we may have the means to make
the paper what it ought to be. In all
the long years of the past the REPUB-
LIcAN has had no official patronage,
and often, no doubt, when the SUBJ
scribers grumbled and thought the
paper was not as good as it ought to
be, the editor was paying out more
every week than he was taking in,
and was racking his brains as to how
he would get money to pay the hands
and keep the paper going. and at the
same time keep his family from star
wing, while many Of his subscribers,
perfectly able to pay, had money be-
longing to him in their pockets.
Friends, this is not as it should be.
We intend to give you good paper,
paper worth all the money that we
ask for 1t, but we intend that those
who subscribe for it shall pay for 1t.
Now, to the heads of families, to the
wives, to the boys and girls, we say,
helpus increase the circulation OF the
REPUBLICAN and help to pay for it,; a
few dimes saved by each member OF
the family will pay for the paper a
year, and it will be worth more than
its price to every member Of the fam
fIv

frightful panic last Friday night
