"A very gloomy feeling has taken pos
session Of the managers of Gar6eld's CAM
paign. 1t is that all the states IN which the
party is controlled by leaders who favored a
third term may be reasonably classed as
doubtful states. With such feeling as

as lively and enthusiastic as Garfield and
his admirers wish.

Hons. Trumbull, Parsons, Butterworth
and Harmon were in the city consulting
with other prominent Democrats as to the

gentlemen will prove successful

unpleasant and aggravating discovery. 1t
was that in moving his Office from the
corner Of Eighteenth and Commercial to
opposite of this Office. he had got outside of
the precinct for which he was elected, and
that therefore all business in the future

be punished at all.
We yesterday learned from Mr.. Henry
Panert, the enumerator for township Fiji
teen. regardless of range, that his township
contained population of fourteen hundred
and some seventy odd. Judging from the
reports so for made it is calculated that
Alexander countys population will be

There has been marked decline in
the mud throwing business during the last

run out of material with which to Willy
