The Democracy of Ohio have had
a hard and peculiar fight, that has not
been without it's advantages to the
Democracy at large. Through their
energy and perseverance Senator
Thurman, acknowledged on all sides
to have been the best opposition lead
er any party ever had, has been kept
in the Senate. 1t is idle to talk now
of blanders on the part of either Ew-
ing or Thurman or the Ohio Democ-
racy. 1t is evident to the most SUI
perficial observer that the Greenback-
ers, as well as thu Republicans, were
more interested in stalwattism than
in free elections or the ucc of
their peculiar financial theories. 1t
is also evident that no issue could
have been presented that would have
been more attractive to them than the
''bloody shirt"
As the more immediate result of
the election in Ohio, Senator Thur
man retires IN the 4th of March, 1881.
1t matters not who may succeed him,
SO long as a Republican takes bis
place. Who cares whether it be
Garfield or Sherman ? Another re-
suit will be that the Democracy of
the country will now be better able to
rally on those issues on which it is
most thoroughly susceptible of being
enthused, free and honest elections
and perfect reconciliation OF silver.
Hard also as Sherman and Foster
have labored, they a scarcely call
the victory in Ohio theirs. Blaine
and other stalwarts labored quite as
diligently. Neither Sherman moi
Foster is an impersonation of stall
wartism, and it is stalwartism and
''bloody-shirtism'' assisted by money
that carried Ohio. If the same means
and methods shall avail to carry New
York for the Republican party, the
whole boom will inure to Grant OF
Grantism, and whoever may be the
standard bearer, the Republican pres.
idential contention of 1880 will be
fought on those issues.

Correspondence of Sedalia Democrat.
CINCINNATI, OCT. f6, 1879.
Four or five reasons could be given
why the Democrats were beaten in
Ohio, but one is sufficient. The Green
hackers and Prohibitionists deserted
their organizations and voted almost
en- masse for the Republicans.
The Republican Greenbackers sold
out to Foster, while the Democratic
portion of them nov honest, it is
true, but with a stolidity that is char
acteristic of the iackass and idiot,
stuck to Piatt from beginning to end,
Notwithstanding they had been base
ly betrayed, and Piatt himself paid
by the Republicans to stay on the
ticket. The Republican Prohibition
lists also deserted their organization,
while the Democratic part of them
stuck like grim death TO their ticket.
Bishop in his race had the whole
Campbellite church at his back, and
it gave him a strong vote. Ewing
takes his defeat bravely; and SO does

OHIO.

The parties opposed to the Democ-
rscy are rejoicing greatly over the re-
suit of the late election in Ohio. Ii
that State were Democratic, OK il
since 1865 it had assisted to elect a
Democratic president, there might be
some sense in this but as things are,
all that can be said truthfuliy of that
State Is, that notwithstanding the i'm
mense effort made by the Republican
party and the large amount contribu-
ted to the expenses OF the campaign
by office-holders, contractors, corpo-
rations, banks, syndicates and treas
ury pets al combined have not avail
ed to stir up sufficient enthusiasm TO
take that great commonwealth from
among the doubtful states and re-
place it in the position it used to oc-
cupy in the Republican column.
Occasionally, when the Republicans
we've either o~ver-eonfdent or less in
dustrious than usual, the Democrats
gained some State victories there ; but
at critical times and with proper exer-
ton, Ohio has been heretofore more
thoroughly Republican than she
is to-day. In 1864, Lincoln's major
ity was 50, $50. In 1868, Grant re-
ceived a majority of 41,617, which
fell in 1872 to 1881; but in 1875
Hay es' majority over Tilden was only
1916. In 1876, 685, S75 votes were
cast ia 1877. 554, 967 in 1878, $780,
O92 and in 1879, 100000. For the
last three years the Republicans have
obtained only a minority of the votes
cast. The Nationals have held the
balance of power, and there are over
So, 900 votes that have not been cast
at the late election which at any time,
on being aroused, can sweep away
that balance. 1t is impossible at this
time to say how those votes will be
cast in 1880, but it can be readily
seen that this reversed force throws
a deep shadow npon all aspirations
when they be Republican Or Demo
cratic or National.
Republican Ohio resembles Repub-
lican Maine very closely. Both are in
- critical condition. Both have been
aroused by direct appeals to stalwart-
ism, and after immense efforts and
vast expenditures are held by minor
ity votes, and to make them available
in 1880 these efforts and expenditures
must be repeated.
So far as regards the Democratic
party, the result of this year is pre-
cisely similar to that of 1876. How
ever much the citidels of the Rerubli-
cans may have been weakened since
that time, that party has not been as
yet driven from any of IS strongholds.
1t is still aggressiyely defensive. In
the North the Democracy has a host
of ismS to contend with but in the
South this time, there will be neither
the army, supervisors or returning
boards, and it is barely possible that
out of the $4,000 uncast votes in
Ohio there may be enough conscrva-
tives sick of the "'bloody shirt stall
wartism" to turn the scale in favor of
the Democrats in 1880.

A Cyc1opedia for $1,000.

Perhaps the most remarkable literary enter
prise of the time, is the publication OF the Lii
brary of universal Knowledge, in 20 volumes of
nearly 900 pages each, handsomely bound, for
so cents per volume, $1,000 for the set. It is
reprint entire of the last (S79) Edinburgh and
London edition of Chambers Encyclopedia A
Dictionary of Universal knowledge for the
People, with very large editions upon topics of
special interest to American readers. The
amount of matter will somewhat exceed that
of the Cyclopedias of Appleton or Johnson,
though the price is but fraction of their cost
Volume one is to be ready early in September,
and the others will follow at very short inter-
walls. The remarkably low prices are accounted
for by the method of sale, to the subscribers
direct, saving them the large comm iss on,
often so or go per cent, paid to agents or deal
ers; also, by the recent great reduction in the
cost of making books, and by making very
large sales. This certainly is work that the
millions will appreciate. Special inducements
are offered to early subscribers and to clubs.
The same publishers have recently issued
editions of Chambers Cyclopedia of English
Literature vols, $500, formerly sold in 2 vols.
for 5000; also, Rollins Ancient History, an d
Josephus Works, large type editions, for 1926
and $500, and Smiths Bible Dictionary, Sl00.
They also publish, in August and September
the Acme Library of Biography, u vols, and
the Acme Library of Modern Classics, vols,
the former at 35 cents and the latter at so cents
per vol. In these series are presented such
authors are Carlyle, Macauley, Gibbon, Gold
smith, Lamartlne, Michelet, Thomas Moore
Walter Scott, and Fouque, and such subjects as
Cesar, Cromwell, Burns, Joan of Arc, Vicar of

| A Democrat tipsy sat on hell bucket,
One evening in front of Broadway saloon;
As he labored in vain for an upright position,
He soliloquized thus while he gazed at tn,

''I always have voted the genuine ticket,
| But there's been much swappin' and trad
in around,
By Ring politicians who are coveting office,
That they've run the old party plum into the

That they sold out the garty for nothing in

By simply indorsing the National ticket.
| Which is partly composed of Republican
trash.
They can't see as far the ends of their noses,
They did what Republicans wished them to
do;
They have sold their blrthright for bad mess
of pottage,
Though don't like to swear, it's hell of a
stew,
Just then one of these political traders,
With face like headlight--by whisky twas
In slippers came shufling along on the pave

And his feet left smell like the bottomless
pit
sHelIo here old gentleman, what is the trouble,
We're Nationals now and the ticket must

AS he rose and deliberately pulled off his

And there's something that might as well be
understood.
The Ring may have the power to sell out the
party,
But i hasn't the power to deliver the goods"
BY this time the Ringster was raging with fury,
And the prospect was fair for a Kilkenny
fight;
But the Marshal took charge of the turbulent
couple,
And the lookup was occupied during the
night
And this is the news from all over the county,
The "Grand Coalition" is losing its grip;
are kicking clear out of the har-

"There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the

1t is fact that no one will deny, that every
thing is gradually going up in price, from pig
iron to dry goods, groceries, clothing, &c. When
resumption was reached, on the first day of
January last, the bottom prices were reached
and then, as permanence in business was
reached, prices began, gradually, to go up
wards. Prices will increase, not very rapidly,
but just in proportion to the increase of general
prosperity.
Our object in the foregoing is to show the wis
dom of buying your clothing before prices get
higher. Washam & Co. were shrewd enough
to buy an immense stock when prices were at
the bottom, and they can sell these goods now
for less money than new goods can be bought
for, and sill make a small profit. When goods
are going down, it is wisdom to wait as long as
possible; when they are gong up, as they now
are, it is wisdom to buy at once. augl4-4w

Neces stiles.

When man was placed upon the earth, he
was governed by circumstances like other ami
mails. His first want was food; this was sup
piled by fruit. His second want was clothing :
this the fig leaves supplied. Mans nature is
the same now as it was then, although he has
advanced greatly beyond the fig leaf period.
What a difference it makes in a man or boy
to put decent, fashionable clothing upon him.
1t is the prime necessity, second only to food

nGiYe Me a Nickel ~

| What heart is it so hardened that it does not
prompt a ready response to the piteouS appeal
fors aims? No matter how scant the means
possessed by him to whom the appeal is made
there is, hidden away in the innermost recesses
of his heart, a chord of human sympathy y
which urges him to divide that which he has
with his distressed friend. We have frequently
felt this feeling, but we didn't feel it on last
Sunday, when stylish looking man in the
finest of broadcloth and the sleekest of plug
hats stopped us on the street, and in low,
confidential tone, said:
"I'ye been on a little spree, and want some
thing to settle my nerves, so that 1 can go to
work in the morning. Can't you give me a
little money!"
We replied that we could not, for very ex
cellent reason.
"Cant you give me nickel?' said he.
Now, here was man in the prime of life-a
skilled mechanic whose work can command at
least dollar day more than the present SAL
ary of the writer hereof, of his own volition
going about the streets begging money to buy a
glass of beer. If such men will go to work and
earn money, it is no ones business how they
spend it, so long as they do not interfere with
their fellow-men. But the practice of getting
too drunk to work, then begging for money
upon which to get drunker, should be frowned
down. We did not give him the nickel.
