Ohio has been close State for years.
The prenent governor was elected in
1877 by a plurality of 22,52o. but he
was really in minority of the whole
vote by lily. Last year the Repub-
licans carried the State plurality of
1854, but were in a minority of the
whole vote by 4O,S69. The Nationals
pOlled 1882, and the PrOhibitionists
1852. The Democrats in 1878 polled
within 659 of their vote of 1877, and
the Republicans increased their vote
25,0l5.

To be governor of Massachusetts has

To be governor of Massachusetts, has
long been Buffers ambition. Twice he
tried to compass it in the democratic
party. Twice he tried to get the nomi.
nation of the republican party. Now
for second time he is striving to reach
the goal as an independent" inviting
to his support all who have grudge
against existing parties, and particularly
all who have got tired of hoaring the
state of Massachusetts praised for the
fidelity of its administrations to the
principles of justice and honor. The
kind of independence which has its root
in selfish ambition is not likely to seduce
the judgment of many. The people Of
the commonwealth will recognize the
unworthy aim through all its pretences
and DISCUSSES, and they will rebuke il
this year as they have already repeated

THE ELECTION IN OHIO.

The election which is to take place in
Ohio, on Tuesday, 18th inst, is of great
Importance, as bearing most powerfully
on the next Presidential election. Not
only State officers are to be chosen, but
several amendments are to be acted upon
by the people. One of these amend
ments proposes to reorganize the Judiciary
of the State, the second is designed to
extend the tenure of Office of township
trustees from one to three years; the
others provide for biennial elections,
and change the time Of elections to No
vember. For State officers, there are
FIVE tickets in the field, the Prohibition.
ist being headed by Gideon S. Stewart
as the candidate for Governor. The
other tickets are as follows: Republican
Governor, Charles Foster; Democratic
Governor, Thomas Ewing; Greenback
Governor, A. Saunders. Pratt. Of course
the result is problematical, but it il
believed that the republicans will achieve
a victory that will be ominous of tri
umph in 1880.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[srroIAI ooannsrosDEsor OF rHn nos1ros.l

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE THE MoN1roR.]
WASHINGTON, Oct z, 1879.
We are building big hopes. but we are
justified in it. respecting the fall elec-
tons yet to occur. Commissioner Raum
writes here from Ohio that that State
will go Republican by 10000 majority.
and that the Republicans will also have
the legislature. Secretary Sherman said
to-day that his private information was
to the same effect, and that he could not
understand what the democrats could be
thinking about in claiming that they had
any show. Similar reports come from
New York, and in fact all over the
North, and the democrats look blue in
consequence. M4
The total number of claims for PEN
sion arrears settled to Oct 1st is 1868,
amounting to $20,734,5O8. The aver
age amount in each case settled is
$545.62. 1t is estimated that there are
|
still six or seven thousand pensioners
whose cases have not been settled. PEN
sioners whose cases may not be setted by
| November lst can hasten the settlement
by writing letter to the pension office
giving again the number of their pension
certificate and their present postof6ce
address. It is almost certain that the
| S25,OO0,000 appropriated will be sufi-
cient to cover the arrears due upon pen
sions allowed previous to Jan. rs, 1879.
| The receptions which President Hayes
has had are very gratifying to his friends.
and they take it, SO far as Missouri is
concerned, as an indication that the
spirit of loyalty has improved. The
President will be warmly welcomed here
on his return.
= 1t is probable that Congress will be
asked to restore local government to the
District of Columbia this winter There
is need enough Of it, and it would be ;
great deal more economical.
The democrats complain, with truth i
not with justice, that the republican
officials are all the time making politica
J capital for their party. This is tam
: for the very good reason that the admin
, istration of the governments affairs i
s efficient. and honest and just. Thus
while the revenue to be collected an
s disbursed is enormous, the per centage G
!. expense for doing it was never so smal
as now, and the stealing and defalcatio
n are nothing as compared to what the
4 were under the old democratic admin.
r trations Thus, again, while there neve
s was time when so much money had
Il be paid out for pensions, the claims al
!, promptly audited and paid, and thel
). can be no complaint of delay in an
worthy case. But some figures ha,
l. lately been published at the Treasul
,e Department which anger the democra
E more than anything else. The amour
,e of internal revenue collected during ii
It year just passed was Sll3,56l,000, g

eS tnaL IL ala Then, and why is IL Iarm-
ers? will tell you. 1t is because you
don't have such horses as they want. You
have succumbed to the mania for fast
horses that has swept over Vermont; it
is speed, speed, and the owners of STALL
ions in their advertisements, after de-
scribing their horses. now add the clause

3: 50'' as the case may be- And anoth-
er inquiry want to make of you Is. how
many of you have made any money on
fast horses Let US figure itout and
see; we will say that one colt in hum
dred has some pretensions to speed, and
the neighbors say, Smith has colt that
will make it hot for EN- when he gets
| him trained. Smith himself thinks he
is all right for trotter, but he must
have sulky to drive him in. 1t won't
do to drive him in a buggy. so a sulky
and harness is bought and they COM
mence to speed the colt. Smiths boys
think they know pretty well how to
drive, and they train him some, and they
measure off half mile in the road and
try him, but they can't get him quite
down to a three minute gait, but they
know the speed is there, and they final
ly conclude to let some "horse trainer
take him and fit him for the track, which
| he does and only charges Sl0 per week
for keeping and training. He tells
Smith his colt is going to clean EN- all
out at the next race but he tells Jones
that his horse is going to win the frsi
money, and SO they all feel happy-tht
J trainer because he is getting his $l(
, each per week, and the owners because
J their horses are all going to win. Wher
the race comes off, Smiths colt comes il
} about a length behind, and how doe
, the account stand? He has kept tn
horse six years, has been to 500 expens
4 on him, and has horse that is abou
five seconds too slow to win any money
t and fit for nothing else. But Smith i
q not altogether to blame for what he ha

INDIAN FIGHTING.-The long expect
ed serious difficulty with the Ute Indians
has begun with an attack upon govern
ment troops on Milk River, Colorado.
The assault was made by several hun
dred savages at noon on Monday of last
week while the troops were on the
march to the Ute agency. A desperate
engagement of eight hours ensued, the
troops being forced back on their wagon
train with the loss of the commander,
Major Thornburgh. and sixteen men,
with fifty wounded. The savages are
reported to have lost heavily in the
fight. At nine P. M, the troops main
tanned their position, and were prepar-
ing for an attack at daylight. Rein
forcements under General Merritt were
pushed forward to their relief from vari.
Gus points, and it is hoped they may
arrive in season to rescue the unfortu-
nate command from its perilous situa-
ton. A report is current that Indian
Agent Meeker and family, and all his
employees have been murdered and the
agency buildings burned, and the rumol
has been confirmed. 1t also stated thai

made an ascension from that city on the
afternoon of Sunday, the 29th ult., and
it is now generally believed that the
adventures have been lost as were Dom
aldson and Grimwood, who went up
from Chicago in Barnum's balloon in
June, 1875. 1t is probable from the
latest intelligence that the voyagers were
either drowned in Lake Michigan, or
that they passed over the lake into the
forests beyond. where they may have been
MANNED or killed outright in a forced
and sudden descent among the trees.

Pure water wells.

Moore & Kenner are now prepared to fill
orders for Pure Water Wells, using an Au-
ger which makes a smooth, round hole
eleven inches in diameter, and capable of
going down to any depth required. The
wells are lined with Seamless Stone Tub
ing, which fills the hole full on the sides
next to the ground through which it passes,
and prevents the running of the surface
wafer into the well, thus giving only the
pure, soft water from the veins under the
blue clay. We have we'll now in opera
ton on our premises, corner 18th st. and

The gross and criminal carelessness Of |
certain parties in placing poison within
the village limits and along the public thor
oughfares, for the purpose of poisoning
wolves, has been the means of destroying
several valuable dogs. There is law inn
posing heavy penalty on parties guilty of
this offence and the owners of the animals
are very indignant and propose to institute
measures to ascertain who are the guilty
parties and recover damages.
We had the pleasure last Saturday of
seeing one of the finest horses we have set
eyes on in the west. This magnificent an
imal, Black Hawk Stallion, is the prop
erty of Mr. A j. Comstock, of Hancock.
and is as perfect piece of horseflesh as
man can imagine. His color is glossy jet
as black as coal, he stands Is hands high
and weighs about 1850 pounds. This
horse will be at the Perkins House stable,
Fridays and Saturdays of each week. and
those who admire the beautiful in horse
flesh should not miss seeing him.
From present appearances the prospects
arc that Morris will be one OF the lest
points at which farmers can trade. 1t
makes no difference what articles you want
you will find them here, and as competit-
ion is sharp, all wishing to purchase can
do so at reasonable prices. We would ask
our readers to glance over our advertise
ments and they will see that several firms
have the same number of agencies for diff
ferent machines, this makes keen com.
petition and as q result gives the buyer
every advantage in low prices. Those
who are strangers in this vicinity can rely
upon finding our business men square, hon
est and honorable in their dealings, and we
would ask them to patronize those who ad-
vertise, if they can do so and obtain the
goods at as reasonable prices as elsewhere.
We ask this for the reason that these par
ties patronize US literally and we desire to
do all in our power to influence trade to
them.
