OCTOBER 18th, 1880.
Mr. EDIToR:-while on the cars on my return
from Atchson to Highland, accidentally overheard
n conversation between two worthy individuals from
a sister town. They discussed our University quite
thoroughly, and its teachers commented on
all very favorably OF course, listened earnestly,
anxious to hear what their opinion in regard to
my place of residence. One made the remark,
They have saloon there, and Hiawatha, White
Cloud and Severance have none. ! very little
show for young to get whiskey that is sent
there to school" No. we have saloons but where
do the young men from other towns get their whis-
key, when they visit place, Sabbath and
week days, alsoi Do they bring il with them to
their friends! There is very much said about
Peter and the brewery, and perhaps justly but,
living let look farther and try to discern where
they purchase something more deadly than beer-a
poison that is daily bringing disgrace in our homes,
and causing much trouble in every town. Not
only young men with their bottles of whis-
key, but men with silver hair with grown mp sons
and daughters. We do not aim to soar aloft and
tell the oft repeated story in regard to intemperanee
it has been worn hreadbare-but permit to say,
if there was less whiskey drank here, there would
not be many pet names used in the streets and
less cause to back down when called upon to prove
their unworthy assertions. And l would ask arIoth-
er question: Do all these that take their
morning nips,r go to Peters" to get il If so,
they make very good time. Let us look at this
thing just rs it il and if there is n remedy why not
use it! -.'

The REPRESENTATIVE FiGnT-There was
hard fight for Republicans of this District, on
Tuesday. Soon after the nomination Of Mr.. Haga-
man, fight was organized against him at Don
iphan, led by delegate in the Convention, who
wanted the nomination himself. To give the
movement strength, it was represented that Mr..
Hagaman was in favor of the prohibitory amend
ment. The feeling having been got up in Don
iphan, three or four Democrats and one sore
head Republican of Wayne Township and a
couple of Democrats of Centre Township got
together in n room over a store, and arranged for
X. NJ. Steele to come out as an Independent can
didate, pledging him the Democratic support
which, with the Republican votes he would
get, would, as they represented, elect him. Mr..
Steele, being dissatisfied Republican to begin
with, readily consented, and hurrah was at
once raised for him. Donpban went wild for
him, listening to reason, and money was
raised to carry on the campaign. Many Demo
Gratis in both Townships declared they would
support Hagaman in preference TO Steele; but
leading men of their party hammered it into
them, that it would be Democratic victory to
defeat the Republican nominee; and thus, while
many Democrats refused to be forced into it, a
large majority of the party came to Steele's sup
port, in the hope of beating the Republican tick
ct. The result was, Doniphan gave Steele some
l72 majority, while Troy gave Hagaman 20l,
Geary 10, and Brenner % electing him by about
20 majority over Steele.
Steele had made successful fight for Town
ship Trustee, last Spring, and the Democratic
leaders, knowing their own cause was hopeless,
thought they could use his popularity to defeat
the Republican nominee. Very few of the Re
publicans who voted against Mr.. Steele, were
personal enemies of his, or wished him any bad
luck. But they were sorry to see him allow
himself to he used by Democrats to defeat his
party. Because some Republicans have opposed
his election as Trustee, he has been fighting the
whole party. As said last Summer, he will
find that the proper place to seek for friends is
in the Republican party, and not among its enc
mics. If he would stand by the party, and work
with it. he would find that he was as popular as
any other good Republican. We are sure that
have grudge against him, and wish him
no harm; but We cannot sustain him when he
goes with the enemies of the Republican party,
TO break il down.

RESULT IN THE COUNTY.

There were about 300 votes polled in the
County, on Tuesday. We have been unable to
obtain complete returns, but the majority for
Garfield will be about 900, or but little less.
The entire Republican ticket is elected, and AZ
ter the first of January, the whole of the County
Offices will he in Republican hands for the first
time in ten years. The majOrities on the County
ticket are large r. NJ Williams, for Senator,
will have probably over 200 majority; John F.
Wilson, for Probate Judge, about 40; 7. W.
Heatley, for County Attorney, and II. +. shaner,
for County Superintendent, each over 5OO Fred.
Close, for District Clerk, had no opposition, and
was voted for by most Of the Democrats. The
Democrats claim that he is the only Democrat
elected.
For the Legislature, J. +. DunwoOdy, of the
First District, has not less than go majority.
In the second District, George V. Hagaman has
about 20 majority. The Third District is the
only one in which the general Republican tri-
umph is marred. In that District, by their in
terminable wrangles, the Republicans have per-
mitted the Democrats TO gain their only success,
as has been the case on more than one previous
occasion. An independent candidate for Repre-
sentative has accomplished the feat of beating
both himself and Mr.. Larzelere, and eleeting
Davis, the Democratic nominee. So that DOni-
phan County will have one Democrat in the
Legislature.
But the worst result in the Third District is the
defeat of Mr.. Deckard for Commissioner, the ma
jority against him being from 20 20 30. Mr..
Deckard has made an excellent Commissioner,
but was beaten purely for spite, and a man cleo
ted chiefly because he is enemy of the other
members of the Board. If that District is not
the first to get sick Of its exploit, we shall be
greatly mistaken.
The triumph in this County is one for Repub-
licans to be proud of There are a few men seat
tered here and there, who have been disappoint-
ed in getting what they wanted, and who have
become sore. They take every occasion to OPP
pose the Republican ticket, and raise the cry of
tRingr on all occasions. Any man who chances
to be the nominee of Republican County Con-
vention, is denounced as "Ring" candidate.
snch men received a drubbing, on Tuesday, that
they will feel for some time. We do not envy
the feelings of any Republican (and we do not
belicT- it makes himself any too happy who op-
posed good Republicans, and perhaps defeated
some of them, simply TO spite other men, for
whose actions he is not responsible After bat
tie, the soldier who goes in and faces the foe,
and comes out SCARED and blackened by the con-
test, certainly feels prouder than the one who
skulked or took to his heels leaving his COM
rades TO bear the brunt and save the cause. So
those Republicans who fought the good fight,
feel prouder satisfaction than those who sneak
ed away and voted against the ticket, or raised
the cry of s'Ring,r and devoted all their ener-
gies to working against Republican candidates.
Even the triumph of Garfield can afford but lit
tie satisfaction TO such men.

" Evil may sometimes bring forth good.
For instance, the bitter personal fight for Com
missioner in the Third District has brought to
light the fact that number of wealthy men in
that District have for years been loaning money,
TO the amout of s5,Oc0 to so, 900 each, and have
never given in a dollar of it to the Assessor, or
paid q cent of taxes on it. 1t will be looked
after, in the future, and the chances are that
they will pay tax on all of it. So that the
election of Lucas Fetter may he of some benefit,
after all, if it is at the expense of his par

We ARE GIAD.-We are glad the election is
over. We are glad, in the first place, because
the election of Garfield and Republican Con-
gress is assured. But we are glad that it is over
because we are tired of politics. A stretch OF
five months of the hottest kind of campaigning
is enough to tire anybody. We have been CON-
pelled TO hit some hard blows, hut the exigencies
Of the occasion demanded it. Hereafter, when
the rejoicngs are over, and the after accounts of
the battle given, we shall devote but linn
tied space to politics, and the remainder of our
space to news and general reading, interest
ing and acceptable to all parties. We have
many Democratic subscribers, and shall now do
our best to give them reading that will be as in
teresting to them as to Republicans.

~ The Congressional race in the st. Joseph
District is very close, with the chances in favor
of Ford. We would rejoice to hear of Craig's
election, because we prefer an opponent who
can be depended upon to oppose the Republi-
cans, to a mercenary who will 90 back on them
just when they need him, as Ford did before.
The Greenback party, founded n humbug,
has no other policy than a willingness to fuse
with any party that will give it a small portion
of the spoils In different parts of the same
State, they have fused with opposite parties,
and will sell out either if the other offers them
a little higher price.

Obituary.,

Died, at one o'clock. p M, Thursday, Oct 2lst
1880, Kate, wife of S. S. Moore, in her 5th year.
How often are We called upon to chronicle III,
death of some beloved member of community
who has passed over the river to he with the Master
who calls, and all must obey. When death enter'
our midst, are brought to think Of the shortnes'
of life, and of the suddenness of death and while
taking the last view of who has been
stricken with the monster death, We ask ourselves
What the character of the deceased and the
answer comes: She was one who unbemished
and unspotted by sin, and exemplary Christian
woman; who was beloved by all who knew her
BY this dspcnsaion of Gods providence, the church
has lost good member, and worker, and the Sunday
School good teacher husband a loving wife, and
her children fond and endearng mother. The
community at large enters into sympathy with tn,
bereaved.
Mrs. Moore united with the Congregational Church
at Malone, New York, in the 18th year of her age
and has ever since been n consistent member having
lived in the faith which calculated to draw hci
nearer and nearer to home on high.
Thou art gone to that world above.
Where all is peace joy and love-
And while We wipe the tears from eyes.
We hope to meet thee, beyond the skies.
Mrs. Moore leaves a husband and three children
to mourn her loss.

" On election day, ls77, Tom yanderslice
predicted to us that in two years Doniphan
County would be Democratic. The Republican
majority then ranged from 400 to 800. Here it
is three years, and the Republican majority has
almost doubled. Rather a diseouraging pros
pect for the fulfllment Of this prediction.

The AMENDMENTs.-very little attention has
been paid to aseertaining the vote ON the Con-
stitutional Amendments. DOniphan County will
give very large majority against the liquor
amendment. But two precincts in the County
give majorities in favor of it. Highland gives
IL, and Leona 10. White Cloud gives 50 against
No other precinct heard from on this vote. st.

IT Some persons seemed to take it amiss,
that we insisted upon pay before allowing any
tickets to go out of the Office. There is 10 cause
for any to complain, and the difference is big
one TO MS. The resuult is, that we have this
year, for the first time in our life, got pay for
all the tickets we printed. If we were paid
the amount of money that We have lost on print
ing tickets, since we have been in Kansas we
would gladly agree to print gratuitously all
the tickets needed in the County for the next
Eve years.

A PLEASANT ISCIDENT.-Judge Price, who has
been canvassing in the Northwestern Counties
of Kansas, in company with Jim Smith, Secreta-
~ of State, relates pleasant incident that oc-
CURED in Jewell County. At the close of a meet
ing, a man came up to Smith, held ont his hand,
and said: 'This is the first time have met you,
since the morning of the second battle of Cornth.
! see you have forgotten me. Ny name is Gas
ton. was a member of the sd Illinois regi-
ment, and we were encamped near the Kansas 9TH,
at Corinth. We shook hands and parted just as
the battle was beginning, and have never met
you since, till now" So it was. These two sol
diers, belonging to widely separated States, had
formed an intimacy while their regiments were
camped close together. At the opening of the
battle of Corinth, they shook hands, and said
goodbye. Like Fitz-James and Roderick Dhu-
Each looked to sun. and stream and plain.
As what they ne er might see again;
Then foot, and point, and eye opposed
In dubious strife they darkly closed
They did not see each other again, and neither
knew what fate had befallen the other, until
they chanced TO meet, seventeen or eighteen
years afterwards on the plains Of Kansas.
