There are two results which. il

aspirations of Mr.. S. J. Tilden and the
destruction of tho political influence
OF Mr. John Kelly, the Tammany

killed each other and the Democratic
party may be the better for il. II will
be said of Mr. Tildcn that he is no lon.
ger u possible Democratic candidate
for President because he cannot carry
his own State. Governor Robinson
was his candidate. His influence and
organization forced on his nomination
and IL was understood that his cleo.
ton would mean q Tilden success. 1t
was this that defeated Governor Rob.
inson. 1t was this that lost the State
to tho Democrats, although they had
otherwise every advantage. Robin.
son had made an excellent Governor,
His administration had lowered State
taxation and had saved the State s3.-

had carried the State at the former
election by $1,000 majority. What
was it that reversed all this and rave

of the Democracy duo to the control.

BUCKEYE REFoRMERs. - a cotem
porary says there is always something
new turning up in Ohio. The latest
development is new method of TEN
perancc Reform, which has just beer
inaugurated by bakers dozen of the
fair sex, in the town Of Fredericktown
Recently thirteen women armed
with hatchets marched in body to o
liquor saloon kept by one Kelly, and
upon their arrival proceeded TO beat in
the doors and windows with their
weapons. This done they proceeded to
destroy everything visible, such as bar.
rels OF liquor, jugs, bottles, counters,
stove--in short, when they were
through the building was IA total
wreck" Tho company then took up
thcir line of march for another saloon,
kept by man named O'Conner, and
destroyed all his liquor, after which
they notified the drug stores to re-
move their liquors before the next day
or expect similar fate. Saloon. keep
ers and authorities alike seem to have
been quite overcome by the sublime
audaclty Of these muscular female re-
formers, but at last steps were taken
for their arrest and the Court will be
asked TO rule upon this new style Of
Temperance work.

WEBSTERS OPINION OF oLA y


Until Mr.. Clay's "accrimonious yio-
lence' drove him to the ranks of the
opposition, Mr.. Tyler conducted affairs
with dignity and ability. But he had
not been in office q month when Mr.
Clay insisted upon an answer to a
question whether Mr.. Tyler intended
to run for second term. And he
pressed it so pertiDaciously and with
such violence that Mr.. Tyler said one
day, jocularly, "Mr. Clay, | have been
so much annoyed by this, that believe
/ shall send for Mr.. Solthard, President
of The Senate, and resign at once"
This convinced Mr. Clay that Mr.. Tyler
would stand again, and from that time
he denounced him, and drove him into
the opposition, thus blasting all the
fruits Of the Wing victory of 1910.
He would have had the same difficulty
with Gen. Harrison had be lived. |
spoke of MIR. Clay's pressing for re,
nomination now, ,andexpressed surprise
Mr.. Webster said J. @. Adams some
years ago remarked that "Mr. Clay
would be candidate so long as he
should receive q nomination from O
majority of the people in the town Of
Lcxington"-and he believed il would
provo true. The mere pleasure Of
being talked of as candidate, he said
was positive qualification, which be.
came necessary to many men, and
grew stronger with their age. After
all, said he, what will Mr.. Clay leave
for future ages ? His speeches contain
nothing OF permanent valuc-all rc
lating to temporary topics and never
discussing fundamental principles. He
is not an instructed statesman-h he
knows nothing Of the matters in thai
paper we have talked about and foi
what, said be. will he be remembered
For his brilliant, effective, popular elo
qucncc, | suggested. Yes, said he, but
how much has that avaicd Patrcl,
Henry ? 1t is cphcmeral, traditional
OF little value to any one. Mr. Clay
he thought, had always kept the Wing
party subservient to his personal am
bition, and seemed still disposed to dc
so.

grafton. From the teacher in charge,
we learned the following facts: Quite
early in tho year, the house was com.
pleted, finished land quite nicely too),
furnished, and made ready for the
opening Of the first school. The time
appointed for the opening OF the school
was Monday, October goth. About 2
o'clock on the morning of that day, n
lady living near discovered tho house
on fire. The alarm was at once given,
and n number of persons reached tho
scene in time TO save IL from ashes.
The back part Of the house had been
saturated with coal oil and then fired.
The rear portion was burned out, and
tho building so badly damaged that il
will require sum almost equal to the
original cost to make II as good as now.
Three arrests have been made. The
last party arrested, il seems, made the
threat openly, while the house was
being built, that il would DO burned
down. This, in itseli, was sufficient to
cause his arrest. But q few years ago
tho Cove Run school house, in the same
township, was burned TO ashes by an
inccndiary. The people Of that town.
ship long for the conviction OF the
guilty parties, as they are getting tired
OF building school houses to bo burned

tribute nothing to the fund from which
they are built
