The New YEAR.-Here we are, started ont in
the year 1879. The Chief wishes all its patrons
and friends Happy New Year. We enter upon
the new year with considerable degree of sat
isfaction. In view of the hard times aud ruin
ously low prices of farmers products, We antici-
pated large number of dIscontinuances of sab
scriptions, and falling off in list in the az
gregate. But on the contrary, the discontnu-
ances have been surprisingly few and far be-
tween, while large number Of new subscriP-
tioas have come in, leaving good nett increase
of our list. Some have thought that We ought
to reduce the price to sl.50 year. We would
like to reduce the price even to 81 year, if we
could; but subscribers will plase remember
that, although produce is down, the price Of
printing paper has not been reduced. We also
promise this that when corn comes mp to 40 aud
so cents bushel, hogs to s. and &c. and wheat
to 81 so, We shall not increase the price of the
Chief one cent. We ask them 10 watch the si50
papers. Observe their makeshifts to get along.
and mark their fate in the end, and then decide
whether it is not more honest aud business like
to charge living price, than to offer thing for
less money than it can be produced for. and
leaving patrons in the lurch at the end.

on his enemies again. He recently delivered
his lecture Oh the Mistakes of Moses, in Cincin-

himself, FROM all the churches. The denuncia

forward as u crusher. Now comes the news that
the Archbishop and his brother have failed. They
did sort of banking and depositing business,
and nearly all the members ofthe Catholic Cbu'ch
in that city deposited their little savings with
them. They had several millions of dollars,
made up chiefly of these little savings. The
greater part of it is gone, in bad speculations

Old puffy, Of the Bnilefis, evidently had bis
gut full, aud dollar and half in his pocket,
last week, judging FROM. tho way he swells-
One week, when his piekings are thin, he will
beg and whine and the next week, if lie has
his paunch full, he win dictate and threaten
with all the Importance Of bull-whacker.
Next week, or as soon thereafter rs hog pluck
becomes scarce, he will be begging and whining
again. Last week, lie was on the war path. He
had something to say about our debts, and gave
notice to certain imaginary male poultry, which
he termed our ''roosters," to stand from under.
If there be such roosters, perhaps they will take
the alarm, and stand from under; but as for
ourself, bis threats are just to onr hand, when
ever lie feels like wading in. What debts we
have, we carry ourself, and there is not dollar
Of them for which our friends "stuck." No
man has a judgement hanging over his head for
the payment Of our debts; and none of our
friends, (poor men, at that,) have been comp ell
ed to renew our notes, with interest added,
simply because they had to do that or pay them
of, aud found that it was cheaper to carry them
over hard times than to pay them. We at least
pay the interest our debts; which is some
better than owing every dollar of the purchase
money Of our Office, and every dollar of the in
terest thereon, with friend sued for part Of it,
and other friends who will be left with bill to
foot. by reason of preferred mortgage. This is
a suiject upon which We could elaborate, and ii
you feel like it, just 'come to u.s." and we'll
lead you lively dance. When a man becomes
such a confirmed dead beat that he cannot e."

The NILLENICM DAwSING.-We have several
times remarked that an era of honesty and econ
omy would be inaugurated when the Reform
Democracy again got into power, and The cor
rupt republicans were hurled from office. Ore
gon is State in which this Democratic reform
feeling bOiled over. The Democratic Governor,
Grover, appointed Presidential Eiector, and
tried to force ia his vote, when the people al
elected Republican. This done to hasten the
of Reform aud Gruver was rewarded with
election to the United States Senate. Crookrd
has for time past been rel,orted in the
financial affairs of the State. aud investiga-
tion has just b-en hal. IL has revealed the
fact that about s9l 600 of the State funds, aud
$50 900 of the school funds, have been squander
ell stolen, aud cannot be accounted for. This
happened dnring Growers administration, with
his help. and probably under his lead. Make
way for Democratic honesty.

We have reliable information that it is
the purpose of the Democratic leaders
and managers to get possession of the
polls on the morning of the election day,
so far as possible, and get in as many IL
legal votes as they can before it can be
stopped. 1t is by this means that they
hope to defeat some of our Republican
candidates, and especially do they hope to
elect their candidate for the legislature
by this effort TO smuggle in illegal votes
early in the day, before the Republicans
are aware of the trick they are playing.
Let us warn our Republican friends in
every township in the county to be on
guard early, be there and see that the
election board is fairly and honestly or
ganized, and allow no illegal votes to be
cast. See to it that every legal voter has
fair chance to get to the polls and cast
his ballot. You should have men at all
the polls who are well acquainted with
the voters of your township, and allow no
vote to be cast until you are convinced
that the man who offers it is entitled to
vote at the polls where he offers his bal
lot. Our opponents have become desper-
ate, and for the purpose of defeating the
Republicans will resort to any means thai
will insure success at the polls. Again
let us warn our Republican friends to be
up and doing. There is no time to lose

The Coming Election.

The election to take place next Tues
day in Ohio is one of vital Importance for
the welfare and prosperity of the State
and the country. The whole country is
looking with deepest interest toward
Ohio, and anxiOusly awaiting the result.
The grave questions at issue in this cam
paign have been fully discussed, and are
pretty thoroughly understood by the
masses of the people; and undoubtedly a
full and fair expression of the honest vo-
ters of the State on Tuesday next will
condemn the Democratic party to over
whelming defeat.
If every Republican does his duty on
that day there can be no doubt of the re-
suit. The only danger to a decided and
gratifying victory for the Republican
ticket, is in lack of appreciation on the
part of each individual Republican voter
of the importance of his vote and his work
In Fayette county we can give a ma
jority, of 600 votes for the State ticket
and elect every candidate on the county
ticket by large majorities, if every Re
publican does his duty. Our DemOcrati
! opponents are hard at work, and will pu
forth every effort on election day. w
may be sure no voter of that party vii
be allowed to stay away from the poll
on election day. Let the Republicans b
equally Yigilant. Let every man VIII
believes the principles of the Republiea
party are right and for the best interest
of the people, be at the polls and vote an
work for the election of his ticket.
We cannot too strongly urge upon ever
Republican voter the Importance of h
individual vote and work. Every R
publican should feel that duty devolv,
upon him to put forth every hOnOrab
effort for the success of the principles
believes right, and the election of tt
candidates of his party.

An Offer Liberal Enough to
Please Anybody.

Ehe Fayette County HERALD will enter upon its
twenty second volume ON the 18th of November
next, and we have determined, in order to give
the people OF Fayette county a home paper fully
up with the times and containing as much reading
matter as any other paper to be for the same
money, to make some important changes in the
HERALD for the new volume. With the flrst num-
Der Of volume y, the paper will be enlarged to
eiwhG-page, 4S-cOlU mn paper, greatly in
creasing the amount Of reading matter, and i'm
price will be reduced to 4 so per year,
strictly 1m advance.
In order to place the HERALD in the hands of as
many readers rs possible during the present cam
paign, and to induce new subscribers for the next
volume to send in their names and money at once,
and subscribers who are in arrears to call and
settle their Indebtedness at their earliest cOnven-
ience, we make the following VERY LIBERAL L
OFFER:
We will send the HERALD to all new subscribers
volume fOr S1s5O IA advance. In other
words all persons subscribing for the volume
which begins November 18th, W i'll receive the HER
AID from now unttA the 14Gb free. And
all subscribers settling their accounts to date and
paving one years subscription-$I .5O-in advance.
Will be credited to the end of the 22nd volume.
To make the reduction in price apply equally to
all, subscribers who have paid in advance for the
HERALD will be credited with the amount of their
advance payment at the reduced rate
We think the above offer is sufficiently liberal to
meet the views OF the public generally, and we
hope it will result in placing the HERALD in the
hands of every Republican in the county.
We shall continue in the future, as we have in
the past, to endeaYor to make the HERALD one of
the best well as the cheapest county papers in
nj support during the past twenty years, re-
spectfully solicit their continued favOrs.

thereby only having them to hand us
back the surplus they had made out OF
our troubles; and therefore, having a
large balance of trade in our favor, gave
us a large influx of gold into our cOun-

dom displayed in the management OF
finances by the Republican party, has
brought us to resumption with the out
look as bright as it is. We see this fact
manifested in the growing activity OF

Iron. which suffered most from the

become very actiYe-sO much so that the
supply is almost inadequate to the de-
mand. and men everywhere, in every de-
partment of business, who are exercising
every day industry and economy, are re
ceiving a competency for living. The
farmers are receiving a better and more
regular price for the products OF their
farms than they did from 1910 to lS6O,
under Democratic rule. This is most as
/ tonishing when we take into consIdera-

production since the Republican party

vent of the Republican party 10 power.
Now, my brother Democrats, wipe the
green-eyed monster from your eyes and
dethrone the demon of prejudice, and
call forth impartial justice and see if you
can't observe in this Republican party 4

REpuRLIcAN voters ghonld nnderstrnd

REPUBLICAN voters should understand
that any kind of swap Democrats may
offer them on election day will be swim
die. The Democrats have given up their
State ticket, and will offer to vote for
Foster, provided Republicans Will vote
for their candidate for Representative or
some county office. This is their game
in all close counties in the State this year.
AS they have no hope of electing Ewing
they consider vote for any local Office as
clear gain in exchange for vote for Fos-
ter. They have the advantage in any
swap they may propose. The only safe
thing for Republicans to do is to vote the
straight ticket and re fuse TO swap on any
terms.
