adage that where there is so much smok
there is bound to exist little flame. As
natural result, the Republican candidat,
will be deprived Of some very usefu
votes.
An account of the latest sickenng
tragedy which occurred near Charleston
Mo-, appeared in these columns few days
ago. While it is q pleasing fact that the
monster Lovett, after the murder Of his
wife, promptly rid the world OF his own
presence by cutting his throat, his depart
ed spirit must be condemned first, for beat
ing out his witc's brains at all, and, sec.
ond, for performing the operation with q
flat iron The flat iron and all other do
nestle utensils are, by reason of time
konored custom, essentially the weapons of
the softer sex and should never be grasped
with murdcrous intent by man This is
ironical.
Gradually, very gradually, the great
political parties are being annihilated.
Only few brief days have flown by since
George Menscr, Of Madison, Indiana, be-
came so irresistably jubilant over visit to
that city Of the newly elected Governor
Porter that he felt constrained to blow ont
his eyes and blow off his arms with can
non, and now it is announced that John
Gaus and Philip Barbed, of Brooklyn, be-
came insolved on the holy Sabbath day in
political discussion, during which John
took up the idea that he could improve the
general political outlook by plunging
dagger into Philips abdomen. thus elm
mating to the extent of one.
Mr.. Marshall the candidate for coro-
ner on the republican ticket, has sought the
ooroner's position ever since he has been in
the coffin business. He has on hand quite
a large stock of rough board collins, which
he has been unable to dispose of and which
will be a dead stock on his hands unless
he is elected to the position, which he so
much desires. Mg. Fitzgerald, his oppo-
nent, who is running on the Independent
ticket, has no axe to grind he does not
seek his own interest, but the interest of
the people who have brought him out
The records show that he has saved the
county more money than any other cor
oner who has preceded him, and for this
'eason and no other do we hope that the
people will carefully scratch the name of
L. S. Marshall on Tuesday next.
We have it directly from gentleman
who yesterday came to this city from San
husky precinct that the mail bag, which
vas furnished Mr.. J. NJ. Damron for his |
PERSONAL use and which he left in soak"
or the drinks at the precinct aforesaid, has
lot yet been redeemed 1t is an United |
States mail bag, No. 3, and, OF course, was
furnished him by some person connected !
with the post Office department II is hard !
y probable that it should have dropped |
rom heaven, or that Mr.. Damron should |
rave shaken il out Of ms sleeve. Those |
gentlemen, who, few days ago, under
ook to collect money withwbich 70 redeem
he bag, have given it up as a bad job and
low express themselves that either Mr.. |
Damron should be made 10 pay for his
thinks, or the government employee who
oancd him the bag should pay for its loss.
The democrats of this county have
made every preparation TO prevent illegal
,oting on next Tuesday. The necessary
have been appointed TO remain
u every polling place in the county from
he time the polls open till they close, and
money has been raised with which to vigor
usly prosecute all those who attempt to
ote and are not entitled to do so. There
will be no chid's play about the prosecu.
ion. 1t will be rigid and thorough as it
hould be, and those who are caught at the
tempt to cast an illegal vote may certainly
xpect to suffer the fullest penalty of the
aw. That there are u number of men in
his community who will attempt TO vote
illegally we know and their names are not
Unknown to the committees who will be
tationcd at the polls, We give this voice
# warning for their benefit in the hope that
hey will profit by it.
1T is fact--and one that by no means
peaks well for our citizens that men are
permitted to take up their residence in
his city and one week after having done so
re permitted to run for office. Mr.. j. NJ.
)amron. who is running on the republican
icket for states attorney, has not been in
he city long enough to learn the names of
,ur streets. He does not know what
churches or schools we have in our midst,

packed convention, and has the imprudencc
