The democratic policy this year is to unite
the greenback vote to their own, and giving
the prohibition vote to the republicans
they please themselves with the following
seductive fgures:-
Democratic vote. 300 29s
Republican vote. ........... ............. 27g,s0
Such calculations, however, are almost
always as deceptive as they are easy to
make. The above figures give a demo-
cratic majority of in round numbers thirty
thousand but this Is on basis of q total
vote of less than 100000, whereas in 1876
650O0O votes we're cast, of which Hayes
received $50, 900 and Tilden 100000. The

A GOoD SETTLEMENTS Last week
we remarked that money was more plenty
hereabouts than usual at the opening of
new year, ard the general annual
settlements made in town on Monday
last confirmed the statement. Business

and wore II happy smile which plainly
indicated thut tho settlement to them
had been satisfactory. Taxes upon
property in this locality were closely
paid and there is some money lefS in
circulation. 1t would be hard to find a
more prosperous community than this
anywhere, and if the weather man win
only favor us with reasonable amount
of storm, continued prosperity will be
assured.

Mrs. Mary mcIman,s Denth.

The sad affection that has cast a dark
shadow over the pathway of MI. John r.
Grehan, by the death Of his sole surviving
sister, attracts the most kindly expires
sions of sympathy from his numerous
friends. Mr.. Grehan made himself con-
spicuous in the great epidemic of last
year by his earnest devotion to duty in
the LEDGER Office at a period when a
dark pail hung over it, and when more
than half its slender working force, in
Guiding its proprietor, were Frustrated
with the fearful malady. It is
therefore with feelings of deep regret
that the death of Mrs. Mary Hell
man is announced. The funeral of the
departed lady took place yesterday after
noon from her late residence on
Dunlap avenue. She was inferred at
Elmwood, her remains being escorted to
the grave by a number Of sorrowing &C
quaintances, who paid this last respect to
the deceased with their hearts bowed down
in grief. Mrs. Holman leaves a family of
five children TO mourn the loss OF both
parents, their father having fallen a vic
tim to the plague last year. 1t is a sad
load Of bereavement, this under which
Mr.. Grehan is now weighted, and no
words can tighten his woe. Time alone
it can assusge.

The proposition of the Dean of
Westminster to raise a public monu-
ment in Westminster Abbey to the
late Prince Imperial is meeting with
considerable opposition in England.
1t is claimed that such a monument,
in view OF the statement in a letter
writer by the late prince to NJ.
Rouher just prior to his departure for
Zululand, which letter has been pub
lished, would place the English
people in a false light. In the letter
the prince stated that his object in
going to the Cape was so give proof
to his French followers of his capaci-
ties and energy" 1t is clear, there
fore, say those who oppose the move
ment, that his only purpose was to
improve his chances as a pretender to
the French throne. A monument in
Westminster Abbey, under such cir
cumstances, would place the English
people in the position of sympathiz-
ing with the princes plans and OBJ
jects.
