Election Day.

Next Tuesday will be election day. Whatev
er men of other parties may do, we hope the Re-
publicans will turn ont q full vote, aud stand
by their ticket. There is general Republican
"Boom," this year. and Donphan County should
not lag.
We have not word to say against the Demo-
cratic candidates. the Greenback cadidates, or the
Independent candidates. We believe they are all
honest, and capable of filling the Offices for
which they are candidates. But the Republican
candidates are honest, and we'll qualified, and
most of them well tried, and are deserving the
support of every Republican voter. Several of
them are so satisfactory to the public, that they
will receive the votes of many Democrats and
Greenbackers. Bat no candidate can depend
upon votes from an opposing party to elect him.
He must have the support of his own party.
This, we believe, the Republican ticket has this
year, with more unanimty than for several
years past. All that is needed is full turnout,
to insure victory on a scale with the Republi-
can triumphs all over the North. 1t will be q
good starting point from which to enter the
great campaign of 1880.
Reports from all parts of the County seem to
leave no doubt that the whole Republican tick
ct will be elected by sweeping majority. But
to make assurance doubly sure, every Republi-
can should see that his own vote goes to accom-
plish that result.

FIxING THINGS UP.-We learn that Mr..
Wheeler, the Democratic candidate for County
Treasurer, is very sick, and cannot be out of his
bed. In this condition, he has been besieged by
some of the independents" and others to get
off the track in favor of some other candidate,
or at least to spool issues" SO that one of the
three candidates against the Republican nomi-
nee can make the race. They even proposed,
that if Wheeler would get off, they would take
off Bob. Montgomery, in favor of McCreary.
We don't know whether they own Montgomery
or not, or whether he would consent to get off
or stay on to suit their convenience. But be
that as it may, just fix up your tickets, gentle
men. Whenever Montgomery goes of, lots Of
his supporters will vote for Burkhalter; and
you cannot make any combination on Treasurer,
for if any one candidate gets of, his supporters
will take their own way, and many of them
will vote for Sam. Johnson.
We offer this hint: Turn and twist it as you
will, make trades and combinations, pool your
issues, and do your prettiest, the whole Repub-
lican ticket will be elected. Forget it not, for
get it not.

: ConISG BAcK--That was . splendid meeting up
in Clifford Township the other night: After the
speaking the doors of the party were thrown open
for joiners. w. H. Avery, an old Greenbacker, got
up and said he wanted to come back into the old Re
publican party and the boys received him into full
come back, 20 that within half hour eleven Green
hackers renounced the party Of fat money, and ex-
pressed their determination to always hereafter vote
the straight Republican ticket. Good for Clifford
Township. The Ohio election and the Iowa election
shows that the boys are all coming bsck.-EIdor0do
Times.
And why shouldn't they como backi The
great Greeuback party, that promised such
great things, instead Of marshalliug its fill
strength this year, for the battle Of 1880, has
devoted its energies to seeking combinations
with the Democratic party, for the sake of local
Offices and public plunder. Those Greenback-
ers who do not purpose being made tools to as
sist the Democratic party in getting in its work
are getting out of the concern. Ohio, that last
year gave 80 900 Gresnbaek votes, this year gives
but 5000 falling off Of more than three
fourths. We have not seen the official figures
of Iowa, but have no doubt, from the returns,
that the Greenbackers are in q still worse plight
there. In Baltimore, the other day, at the munic-
ipal election, out of vote Of $1,000, the Green.
back candidate received IS! What tremend-
ous party to 60 into national election !! The
concern is falling to pieces, and no wonder
men are deserving it. The Republican doors
are still open. Come right in!

e We notice that number of our exchang.
es speak of the Republicans of Ohio carrying the
Legislature, in spite of the Infamous clergyman
dering by the Democratic Legislature. mis-
take. The Ohio Legislature has no power over
the Legislative apportionment. 1t was fixed by
the Constitution, adopted in 1850, which gives
the number of members for the several Coun-
ties, for the different years-some years certain
Counties having an additional member, and 9TH
er years the floating members going to other
Counties. This can be changed only by Cousti-
tutional provision. 1t was the Congressional
Districts that the Democratic Legislature Ger
rymandered, after q Republican Legislature had
districted the State according to Law, and ex-
hsusted the powers under that apportionment.
1t should be one of the leading duties of the
coming Legislature, in its other undoing of Dem
ocratic outrages, to rip up this Congressional
Districting.

TINES CHANGEs.-We understand that O'Dris-
coll, accompanied BY his man Friday Wright, is
ranging the hills and ravines, still bowling for
the greenback cause. Wouldn't it sound odd to
hear O'Driscoll making Republican speeches :
Stranger things have happened, even with him.
We hav heard him howl in favor of the justice
and the divinity of slavery, louder than be howls
for greenbacks; and we have heard him thank
God that slavery was destroyed, and vote for .
resolution in favor of Government issuing one
thousand million dollars of greenbacks to pay
the negroes for their involuntary and enforced
labor. How would this read, in poster for
Republican rally, in 1sS0!-

O'Drscoll and other eloquent Republican cham

In THE HOUSE OF THEIR FRIESDs.-Those
members of the Democratic Committee, and
Others of the party, who entered into an agree
ment with the Greenbackers for q combination
ticket, and secured the fat of the Offices for Dem
ocrats, have reason to feel sore over the snub
they received at the hands of the Democratic
Convention. The ugliest part of it was the in
situation that they had entered into bargain
to sell out the Democratic party. 1t may have
been distasteful to n majority of the Democrats
to depend upon q Greonbnck nomination to get
any of their friends into Office; but We have no
doubt the members of the Committee meant it
all right. They wanted to-beat the Republi-
cans, and thought that was a sure way to do it.
We believe it would have been bad failure,
but they thought they were doing big thing.
At any rate, they feel badly treated by their
party for doing that which they thought was
just the right thing.

cant. 1t promised, this week, to show that there
was a big Greenback vote in Ohio. Well, it
hasn't shown it. That fall from 5000 to 1900
sat badly on the stomach. But the Era asserts,
on the evidence Of q pretended letter from ]. B.
Weaver, the Iowa fraud, that the Greenbackers
have polled $1,000 votes in that State, being a
gain of 1000. This is doleful whistling to keep
up the Greenbackers' courage for the approach
ing election. In many parts of Iowa, the Green
back vote is next thing to annihilated. Iustead
of . gain of 10000, there is loss of more than
10000, even counting all as Greenbackers where
they doubled up with the Democrats.
