the hero of the huge bandana kept his
word.

Milt. Harrison, a popular salesman, is

Milt. deserves his well-earned laurels. i.
1t affords US pleasure to heartily sec

for Thurman's red bandana, stipulated
that the ensanguined garment be present
ed to Henry WattersOn. to complete his
uniform as commander-in-ehief of that
100000 Democratic army of his. Then
John Sherman could utilize the nose-rag
by hanging it upon his farm to scare
away Tilden crows.
John Crooks, Esq, one of the "noblest
old Romans of them ALL" expects soon
to leave with his son-in-law, Capt. Clark,
for EmpOria, Kansas. This community
can lily afford to part with such men as
Squire Crooks" The best wishes of

The people of Pease township feel
justly hOnored by the committee in Sc
lecting Martins Ferry as the place for
the next County Republican Convention.
We bid all hearty welcome, and prom
ise our best efforts to make the occasion
a happy one.
The important question, should the
Government receive money from the
manufacture of ardent spirits, was set
tied in the negative, last Monday night,
in discussion at the West End. Thus,
one after another of the knotty prob
lens in morals are receiving their quie-
tuS.
Bishop Merrill, of the NJ. E. Church,
preached at a union service in the
Kirkwood NJ. E. Church, Sabbath last.
Our people generally sought out their
favOrites among the Bishops on that
day, and attended the services.

strength, Republicans; we will try and

Never before was there such inquiry
for speeches on the political situation as
now. Men are reading and thinking, and
firmly resolving to do the right in the
present great crisis being forced on the
country by the same party and in the
same spirit as precipitated war upon us
in 1861, and none afford more satisfac-
ton, or is more called for than the elo-
quent speech of our own Representative
in Congress, Hon. j. 7. Updegraff, which
gives the liveliest satisfaction to all who
read it.
We regret to announce tile contempla-
ted removal from our town of number
of families and individuals we can lily
afford to lose. S. L. Nugent and family
are gone; Capt. Thos. Clark and family
are packing up preparatory to leaving;
some half dozen mechanics have gone
elsewhere, sought and found employ
ment; several others are getting ready to
go with their families-while consid-
cradle number more want to go, and
will, if they can dispose of their little
property. We deplore the necessity for
these changes, but are assured they are
for the better.
In times past it was horrible pun
ishment to lash the victim to the muir
derer's back and compel him to carry
the body till it dropped to pieces, and
fell from him. Yet the other day, we
saw the blatant blatherskite Eaton, of
Connecticut, shoulder the decaying,
maggoty carcass of the Democratic par
ty, all reeking with gangrene and sick
ening stencil, and try to bear aloft its
filthy, mortified mass, and attempt to
play pall-bearer, grave digger, hearse-
driver and chief mourner for it, and
succeeded IN exciting the contempt of
his former friends, and the ridicule and
pity of his enemies. Poor fool, Eaton.
The rape of the Democratic party-Jo
Urape of Indiana, just proven guilty of
stufing 800 illegal votes in the ballot
box in the interest of ''Tilden and re-

Hendricks, where's your mules, that you
don't hook on. and pull your friend out
of trouble. Sammy j., come, cave in an
other bar1.
