already pledged himself to give all the
County printing to the Democrat-States-
man, which employs half hands and as an
office is what is known as "rat' concern.
Last night the friends of Mr.. Kinnear got
up petition, to which the names of sever
al well-known union printers of this city
are attached. 1t is reply to
THE FIRST CARD
from the union printers and calls on work.
ingmen to vote for Kinnear, saying that the
first appeal was not the sense of the major
portion of the Union, but only those of Re-
publican proclivities. 1t also charges Mr..
Richenhacher with at one time breaking up
ing nothing but girls in his tailor shop and
refusing to give work at living prices.
1t now seems that
SEVERAL OF THE NAMES
attached to the last 'appeal' was Scne
without the authority of the men, who
were busily engaged this morning in in
quiring for the author of the appeal" Up
to noon no one could be found who was re-
sponsible for the appeal" and from the
present indications it seems that it will
prove boomerang to the chances Of Mr..
Kinnear.
The county ticket, as it now stands, is
one OF the most uncertain, perhaps, that
was ever placed in nomination. There are
so many side issues that
CLOSE STUDY
OF the probable result is nothing but guess
ing, after all. Those who are making bets
90 SO simply because they let their party
afhliations carry them away. To one who
can look at the matter without caring a
plcayune which way it goes or who is
elected, like the writer, the result can no
more be told than who will be elected the
next President
The many intelligent correspondents who
come here to sap
POLITICAL WISDOM,
and send it off to their papers, imagine
often they are publishing something Tex
elusive" and letter that will bring forth
at least an editorial squib from the ''old
man. of the paper for which they are cor
railing the essence of facts. But in the
end they find that all they have found is
nothing after all but surmiscs, and goes for
naught but one mans opinion after talk
with many.
The best joke is on F. D. Mussey, of the
Commercial. Some time since Mussey con-
celyed the brilliant idea of figuring out
VICTORY FOR THE REPUBLICANS,
a la G. ID. M. Bloss 1t required some three
columns for Fred. to tell it all but at last an
end was had to his letter, and the figures
ard predictions, no doubt, struck terror to
the hearts of many Democrat as he gazed
with staring eye upon paragraph after
paragraph of figures and likely predictions
hat stood before his vision like the beauti-
full hill tops rise around your city.
But some cruel, cold, matter-of-fact Dem
ocrat went to work and waded through the
predictions of the frisky Fred, who gave
THE LEGISLATURE
to the Republicans by majority of one.
But, alas for Fred. he put Paulding Coun-
ty down as sending one Republican men,
Der to the Legislature. But the shoemaker
had went beyond his lasts. 1t was found
on investigation that Paulding is not en-
titled to Legislator, as it is tackled on to
Defiance County. 1t was the joke of the
city for some time, and kept Fred. busy for
some days in explaining the matter away.
He is better now, and will get we'll.
Your correspondent one day last week
had talk with both George Alfred Town
send (Gath) and Chauncey Newton, Cali
ban), of the Enquirer. Mr.. Townsend said
he thought that
FOSTER WOULD BE ELECTED,
while Christian Chauncey said Ewing and
Rice would receive a majority of from
$4,000 to 10000! 1t must be borne in mind
that great men, like strange ours, will
differ.
CONCLUSION.
Mr.. Townsend is in town to-day, and can
ha foruI - NJ
Neil. where, report says, that more politics
can be had in one hour than in Cincinnati
in a whole day. Columbus is a prolific
field and no mistake for the correspondent,
and all he has to do is to keep his ears open
and remember what he hears.
The Enquirer folks seem to be impressed
with the Importance of the information
which can be picked up here, as is evil
denced by the way in which their friends
drop down onto the Capital City.
