The person writing from West

The correspondent of Stanton's
paper writing from West Fairlee,
feels bad judging from his attempt
at poetry, in the last issue Of that
paper. He is really to be pittied,
as is any person whose imagination
is SO flighty as to lead them to liken
an old blacksmith's anvil, in the
hands of a half a dozen street
''tads" to roaring canoDs, handled
by an enthusiastic and patriotic
pOpulace and the ringing of q me-
dunn sized church bell to immense
chimes, that made the earth trem-
bic. "Doc," that all sounds well in
poetry, but if your description of
the picnic at the "Glen" was built
as largely on imagination, as was
your description of the cannons,
bells, hurrahing, ETC., we still
claim that West Fairlee was with
out a celebration the fourth Of July,
and all owing to the absence of one
man.

Just what any Democrat can gain,

nouncing the Democratic party and
joining the Greenback organization,
utterly passes our comprehension
1t may in certain States and in GER
tain localities impair the Democrat
ic ascendency, but 1t can accomplish
nothing but to continue the triumph
of the Republican policy. We have
u great battle before US in 1880; one
that will determine for many years
the triumph Of Democracy, or the
continued triumph Of Radicalism. -
We cannot persuade ourselfthat the
Democrats Of West Virginia, and par
ticularly Of the Third District, in
tend to desert the Democratic stand
ard, and give new lease Of power to
the Republicans. There can be no
just complaint SO far, against the
Democratic party, for it has not been

ties of power, only in Congress, and

The Coming Election in Ohio.

The news from Ohio is getting bet,
ter and better every day for the Dem,
ocrats. The enthusiasm with which
Gen. Ewing is received by the peo-
pie, every point to which he
goes, shows the estimation in which
this great soldier and statesman is
held by the people of Ohio. The
Greenbackers are uniting upon Ew-
ing and Rice, and it is now conceded
by the Republicans that two-thirds
Of the Nationals or Greenbackers will
vote for Ewing and the Democratic
ticket. This greatly alarms the Re-
plblicans, and they are striving by
every means to prevent the Green
hackers from supporting the Demo.
cratic ticket. About every Green.
back paper in the State, ofany stand
ing, has come out for Ewing. 1t is
now confidently asserted by the Dom.
ocratic papers that Ewing and Rice
will be elected from 10000 to 20,0C
majority. May their predictions
prove true.
