interpret the meeting Of the Emperors a.
an evidence of the consolidation Of the
Austro-German alliance, as sign of the
maintenance of peace.

been no gain until they exceeded the

were polled, as follows: Republican 4
Democrat 3, making a Republican gain

WHILE some of the scIe defeated and
small fry politicians in rural districts
such as this, are blowing their miserable
bugles about Republican frauds in New
York, the Sun of that city declares that
Garfield is legally elected, and the Jour
nal of Commerce an equally staunch
Democrat sheet, says:
The claim that 10000 or 10000 fraud
ulent votes were cast at the late election
in New York and Brooklyn has not a
particle of evidence to sustain it. If it is
designed to prepare the way for some
political action that shall seek to throw
out the vote of New York when the re-
turns are counted in Congress, it is stu
pid, and should be heartily denounced by
all good citizens. The Republicans are
not chargeable with any serious attempt
to cOlonize voters, and to turn the scale
in these contiguous cities by the use of
illegal ballots. There is no evidence
whatever of such fraud, and We regret
to see any attempt to impose upon the
public with statement so wild and i'm
probable. The leaders and managers of
the Democratic campaign may look
much nearer home for the real causes of
their defeat.
1t is scarcely reasonable to expect that
the idiots who countenance Barnum's
sneak-thieving operations and are talk
ing about fraud in New York now, will
cease their bowling, but it is refreshing
to know that they cannot get respect
able following in their impudent, fool
hardy course.

THE people of Ohio should demand of
their Representative in the Legislature
that they elect man to the U. S. Senate
who is at least peer in ability to the
distinguished Ohio jurist who will short
ly retire from that body. The Senate is
no place for mere politicians, but it is
the great conservative legislative body
of the country. whose acis are more di-
rectly impressed upon the policies of ma
tions, and are more effective in cOntroll-
ing the destiny of the great American
nation than all other influences cum
bined. Messrs. Legislators rule out
pigmies, and give lis giant to represent
Ohio before the peoples of the world.

THE newspapers are writing up good
many small men for big places in Gar
fields Cabinet The Cabinet of Garfield
should be composed of statesmen, and
not of crossroads politicians. The
country will demand of the incoming
administration that it place men of
broad culture, comprehensive minds,
wide experience and sound judgment
in its councils. No creatures of "chance,"
nor those who regard position as pur-
chasable commodity are loudly called
for by the people, who value the Jeffer-
sonian qualities for men in public sta
ton.

COEERAIN.

The great political contest being over
we presume the world will be willing t.
give little attention to local items.
We overlooked Or failed TO notice the
fact that ThOS. Malin was reelected Jus
tice at the late annual election. This
was well-deserved compliment; he
makes good officer.
1t is gratifying to observe that a large
amount of grass seed sown the present
season, has made good catch.
Mr.. Smith, of Pittsburgh, has purchas-
ed from the Robsons enough of walnut
timber to build a pile of pianos as big as
one of the Pyramids of Egypt. Coleman
& Berry are saving for him.
The days of saw-dust and scrap-iron
packages are past, yet one of our citi-
ZenS was recently taken in. He receiv-
ed notice from Bridgeport that there
was package there fer him with 40
cents charges on it. He walked nine
miles, paid four dimes, and received a
IA lot of political documents, a large
amount of which was German.
We observe that two of our citizens
have been drawn for jurors. 1t is good
draw-We can spare them without in
terfering with the agriculture of the
township.
The patriarchs were all out at the Late
election-Job Scott, aged SO, Jacob Nc
MILAN, aged 81, George Colvin, aged SO,
and Joseph Roberts, were among the
supporters of Mr. Garfield. VIM. Rob-
son, aged 81, Josiah Watson, aged 81,
Thomas and Archibald Majors, both
near fOurscore years, are answering
Democrats.
Several men are engaged in getting
Simpson, for building bridge across
Wheeling Greek for the st. c. s. n. r. r.
1t will require nearly GOO feet of square
timber. They will use wood supports on
either side of the creek, and have 123
feet span.
We learn from E. p. Rhodes that the
Directors of the Z. V. r., at their last
meeting, ordered 1000 new cars-one-
half of them for the use of the Compa-
ny, the balance for hire.
Our winter schools are all in opera
ton. One teacher put in four days in
two weeks; the local directors rendered
him resignation, and he left for parts
unknown. Our present teachers consist
of Misses Dutton, Bratton, Brown, and
Messrs. Hutchison, Cope, j Ob, ,andHughes.
Mr. Westervelt continues to be very
popular conductor on the 7. V. R. R.
There is a young man acting as baggage
master, who makes profuse display of
white handkerchiefs when passing GER
tain point. Perhaps he is laboring under
a slight attack of heart disease.
Persons travelling along Wheeling
Greek should "look out for the engine" /"
as there is one engineer who passes
crossings and curves without giving any
warning, thereby endangering the lives
of the people.
The epiZoot is prevailing muchly.
Coal trains have quit running on the
II. V. r. r. **

THE ELECTION.

There is no material change in cleo
ton results to note this week. 1t is GER
tain that Garfield has PA electoral votes.
Oregon stands by Garfield by about 600
majority. The latest indications from
California are that the Democrats elect
FIVE electors and the Republicans one,
and that the Republicans carry both
houses of the Legislature, having ten or
twelve majority on joint ballot. A Re-
publican Governor is elected in Tennes-
see by 1900 majority, and the Legisla-
ture is SO close that an official count is
required to determine its complexion.
Should it prove that the Republicans
are in the majority Z. S. Senator will
be gained. Conceding everything to
the Democracy, which they claim in the
lower house of Congress, the Republi-
cans will have majority over all.
The Senate will be almost evenly bal
anced, and at this writing it is not def
nitely known which party will be i'll
control

THE six Democratic lawyers who
were furnished to Philip, fnessed to de-
lay till after the election the Truth pub
lisher's statement where he got the
forged letter. The election being over,
the publisher Hart proceeded to take
care of himself by testifying tnat Philip
did not write the letter; nor see it till
it was published; that he received the
letter by mail, and while undecided
about its genuineness and about publish
ing it, he submitted it to Randall, Bar
mum, Hewitt, and others of the Demo-
nOunced it genuine, and then the grand
publication went on. He says that Mr..
Hewitt examined the letter fully half an
hour, and declared it to be genuine
This puts the good Abram in bad box,
for since the publication he has declared
that he thought that the signature only
was genuine. The committee tackled
to" the forged letter heartily. 1t was "a
good enough Morgan till after election"
They printed 100000 copies of Truth
with the simile, and sent to California
and Nevada. These high-toned Demo
Gratis went in to capture the Presidency
of this great republic by this sneak
thieving business. Hart, the editor of
scurrilous blackmail sheet, says he
hesitated about publishing the letter,
but he showed it to Randall, Hewitt,
Barnum, Scott, and others of the COM
mittee, and they sprang to it immediate
ly. This is the great principle for which
the Democratic party fought, and which
is not impaired by defeat Gin. Gaz.

SoLoN ROBINSON, the well known au-
thor and journalist, died at his home in
Jacksonville, Florida. on Wednesday

Col. Bob INGERsoLL having been in
terrogated, he replies that "the great
victory means that the rebellion was not
put down on the field of war alone, but
that we have conquered in the realm of
thought. The bayonet has been justi-
fed by argument. No party can ever
succeed in this country that even whis-
pers state sovereignty, which means a
government without power and citizens
without protection"

IN the opinion of the Boston Herald,
Gen. Grant didn't pass eight years in
the White House without learning a
great deal about politics and other mat
tiers. 1t thinks his judgment will be
more respected hereafter. "The grim
and proverbially silent General who laid
off his gloves two months ago with
the remark, 1T won't do to be beaten
now,' and took the field in person, proved
himself a better forecaster than any of
the professional politicians"
