upon which the country in general and the
Democratic party in particular is to be
heartily congratulated-it has laid out

Honesty and economy in tho administra-
ton of public affairs, the right of states to
regulate their own domestic affairs, and
equal rights, common burdens and free
elections are indispensable planks in the

All papers that do not throw up their
hats and say that Tilden is the man for

The Republicans OF Freeport are jubi-
| liant over the result of the Ohio election.
| Well, we do not begrudge them their
pleasure if they will only allow as to feel
a little tickled too, and something over q
year from now, if we live, We shall tell
them why the result in the Buckeye State
| is not crushing defeat to the Democratic
party. On the contrary it is positively a
blessing in disguise.
FBeleville Democrat.
The Ohio ''idee'' is that gallant Union
"brigadiers" must make way for army suit
lers. Men who never saw bloody stained
shirt on the battle field, have become SC
much enraptured with it, in peace, that

cea of all political ills. Let them keep it.
In the end they will be buried so deep in
oblivion that nothing but their shame and
disgrace could possibly be resurrected for
examples sake.
