We are too crowded, this week, to do
more than mention the Republican meeting
of last week. Gov. Davis gave us . clear
statement of the condition OF politics in the
South, confirming the newspaper reports OF
fraud and Intimidation, and showing q social
and moral condition that 10 most dishearten-

The Democracy raised q hickory pole en-
North Main street last satuI day, and on q
rope stretched between II and T. Doland's
building suspended q banner, with the names
Of Hancock and English attached. Later In
the day prominent Democrat, in converse.
ton With Republican, remarked that "that
pole Is true representative of Hancock and
his principles-tsll, straight and majestic" /"
" Yes, and pretty light at the upper end"
replied the other. Another suggests that
the resemblance must be nearer to his ap-
pearance before the days when he found it
necessary to wear corsets.

thing to do with the result. He also sends
engravings Of "The Fallen Monarch" is feet
In diameter, and the mammoth Grove Hotel,
where he Is now stopping. Says there is
splendid fishing and hunting, bear and deer
being plentiful for the latter diversion. He
writes that his health is improving.
"A card from Old Solomon who started
last week for Indiana says: "we arrived In
Ssndusky Thursday morning and found
political excitement running very high, but
thank God our party is well represented.
The Democrats have a fine Hancock and
Engiish banner hanging across Columbus
avenue, but 1t Is put In the shade by a Gar.
field and Arthur banner hanging across
Water street. We arrived just in time to see
q pole 40 feet high raised and to see the
finest Garfield and Arthur banner run up
that we have ever seen, and you can depend
upon 1t Old Solomon's voice joined in the
kurrah." flff
On our way up town Friday morning we
met q member of our Council who, with Mr.
John Cushion, had Just started out to trim
the shade treets along our streets. We were
afectlonately requested to state in this issue
