and brothers made many voyages to
the East and West Indies, to the
Spanish Main and many ports of South
America, and not one ever took the
fever, though it often ragged at ports
where they were and never lost man.
At night they always evaporated
camphor in the berths of themselves

folk had a worse epidemic in 1855
than we have ever had-it never re-

exactly like New Orleans, on low,
marshy ground, with no drainage. We
are here on high bluff, with natural
drainage in every direction. Why,
then, should we be subject to a dis
ease that the general public and some
wise medicine men" think can only
be generated in low and filthy places?

POLITICS AND POLITICI ANS.
A Talk With Mr. ThurIOw Weed---TiIden
Out Of the Ce---POssibiIity of
Grants denomination.
New York Herald. 12th.l

New York Herald, 12th.l
Almost a daily visitor to the Repub-
lican headquarters in the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel is Mr.. Thurlow Weed, the
veteran journalist and politician, and
among the partyleaders and their aids
who throng that room not one is more
confident than he of Republican sue
cess in this State next month, and
throughout. the whole country in the
fall of 1880. To a Herald reporter
who engaged his attention for the bet
ter part of an hour yesterday Mr..
Weed, with an apparent freedom, ex-
pressed himself on the men and meas
ures of the day, In describing the
condition of politics in this State, and
particularly in this city, he said he
could only call it "muddle," and of
him who had done more than any one
else to disturb the political waters he
spoke in the following terms:
Mr.. Kelly is a man of courage,
and he IS certainly making vigorous
fight Morever, he is a man of abili-
ty, though not in the wire pulling
way-that is, regard him as a bull
dog, politically speaking, rather than
a well trained hound. And his better
qualities have won him many admirers.
even among those who differ from his
views. In attacking Tilden over Rob
inson's shoulders-the only way in
which he could be reached-he has
struck him a fatal blow. When he
attended the Democratic convention
he Of course knew his own nomina-
tion to be out of the question. but he
hoped that Chief Justice Church would
be the man, Being disappointed, he
deliberately elected Cornell, for his
bolt can have no other result. Even
in this city | think it impossible that
he can secure majority of the Dem
ocratic vete"
Turning from the campaign in this
State to the broader battle field of
national politics Mr.. Weed gave the
reporter the benefit of his views
thereon.
In regard to the Presidential NOM
nations, he said, there are two facts
well established. One is that Tilden
will not be a powerful candidate. If
Cornell is elected (as he certainly will
be), Tilden would fail to get even the
votes OF his own State and if Robin
son were reelected Gas he certainly
will not be), his (Tilden's) chances in
the Democratic convention would not
be materially improved. The fact is,
Tildens name does not appear on the
slate he has been 'ciphered' out On
the other hand, President Hayes is

not TO be considered IN the race. His
determination to serve but one term
was too emphatically declared to be
retracted. As to Grant, his nomina-
tion, ! think, depends entirely on the
behavior Of the Confederate brigadiers
at the ensuing session Of congress.
Last year they forced three bills to a
veto, and in each instance the Presi-
dent was sustained by the people. II
they do the same thing this winter-if
they reopen the issues of the war
General Grants denomination is as
sured. His tour of the world was an
excellent thing. 1t educated him /;
fitted him to rule the. nation better
than he ruled it few years since and
he is too sincere a patriot to refuse
the nomination if he should see his
services were needed.
But if everything goes smoothly
in congress there will be no necessity
for nominating Grant, and the canvass
will then be a close one between
Blaine and Sherman. Conkling is a
great man, but his reputation isn't
national His power doesn't extend
beyond New York State, and even
here he is powerful rather than popu-
lar. His strength is with the politi-
clans, not with the people. No one
would deny his ability as a speaker
that was great speech he made in
Brooklyn the other night but he
hasn't Blaine's reputation in congress.
Blaine has many elements of popu-
larity and would make strong Presi
dental candidate. But then, too,
Sherman has won every heart by his
wise administration of the country
finances. Resumption OF specie pay
ments and the restoration of CONNER
cial prosperity have given him strong
hold upon the people. Yes, it will be
close race between Secretary Sher.
man and Senator Blaine"
When asked what legislation on the
silver question would probably mark
this years session of congress Mr.
Weed exclaimed, " Heaven knows 7

chances of nomination of the various
Democratic candidates for the Presi
dency.

unfairness relative to the European
dispatches that gave the bulls the ad-
vantage, it is more than likely all

these dispatches will be "off." At
least an investigation is to be had. 1t
is predicted that wheat will 90 up to

Oh none but God can tell the pain
That presses on a madnan's brsin
When from his eyes the tear-drops fain in

When, in their grief they ravo and tear, and
utter piercing screams,
None know their pain.

Pain can benumb the human heart
Till reason from her scat will start,
And from hor throne mem'ry depart, in mid

SEVERAL cases of yellow fever and
one or more deaths have recently
occurred at Wilson station, about
three miles east of the city, on the
Memphis and Charleston railroad
Some 200 or 300 yards west of that
place is cotton gin, which has been
kept rudning almost constantly. The
noise of the machinery could be dis
tinctly heard by the sick. We have
heard that special permit was grant
ed to run this gin. 1t is more than
probable that the yellow fever spores,
or germs, as soon as they were released
from their prison, started to Memphis,
and being attracted by the novelty of
a gin changed their purpose and took
up their abode in the cotton bales,
where they can be protected alike
from winters cold and summers heat.

THE OHIO ELECTION

The news from Ohio, as received
through the morning journals, indi-
Gates the defeat Of the Democracy.
The mere fact that Ewing was beaten
for the governorship is of itself of
small importance, as his crazy views on
the soft-money hobby were lugged
into the canyass and made load too
heavy for any party to carry. The
feature. however, most to be regretted
is the prospect that Mr.. Thurman is
to be retired from the United States
senate next spring to give place to a
Republican. The Democracy can
poorly afford to lose statesman so able
and useful as Senator Thurman, a
eader among leaders, but it is doubt
less fated that he must retire. Even
this defeat, however, can be willingly
borne by the party if it will lead to an
elimination of such hobbies as the
soft.money nonsense from future con
tests. The German vote throughout
Ohio was secured almost unanimously
to the Republicans through their dis
like to this financial feature incorpo-
rated In the Democratic policy. 1t is
to be hoped that the Ohio result will
teach the party useful and a pro6ta-
BILE lesson.

To the Editor of the GAZETTE.

AS the political campaign of the season
is about opening it would not, perhaps, be
amiss to say few words about affairs In
in our own county. How the campaign
will he carried on, what ticket will be in
the field and who are to be the candidates,
seems to be the inquiry. Every true re-
publican should promptly answer, the
ticket will be republican the candidates
and the campaign carried on
vigorously by the republicans. NO re-
publican should care what the opposition
ticket is to be but should use his influence
for the selection of good candidates on
the republican ticket and then work for
their election.
1t is not easy to explain why men call
ing themselves republicans will form
coalition with the democrats for the pur-
pose of defeating the regular republican
nominees. The object of the democrats
in forming such a ticket is transparent
and they will not again be able to take
advantage of local animosities to defeat
the republicans. The people are getting
walked up to the true inwardncss OF the
thing and will look a little shy of the
democrats hereafter.
The actions of democratic party during
the last session Of congress shows them
to hold the same principles that caused
the rebellion and to be still animated and
inspired by the spirit of jeff Davis.
If the republicans of this county will
90 to work in earnest and work together
tremendously no man can be elected to
Office this fall who is not republican.
Let our convention select candidates OF
honesty sobriety and integrity, give each
portion of the county a fair representa-
ton and just proportion of the candi-
dates and Redwood county will gain re-
publican victory next fall of five hundred
majority.

The need of school for young child
rem in our Village has been frequently
spoken of and Miss Kitty Bixby has con-
cluded to open one. 1t Is especially in
tended for children who are too young to
attend the public school but any under
ten years of age will be received. School
hours will be, only, during the forenoon,
probably from 9 to ~. The project will
commend itself to any who have children
from 80 to ten years. To have them
probably occupied during the forenoon
of each day would be of great benefit to
the children and great relief to the par
ents. 1t is a general practice in all COM
munities with populations equal to ours.
