Indian river, is building cool sized
residence on stone fOlnda jiOl. OH the
opposite side OF the river ON the store.
The horse association of this place
propose to give an exhibition of horses

that an arrangement will be made with
the agricultural society for them to do
so.

POst-Ofice stock has declined about so
per cent in Henry TOdd's estimates since
the latest returns from Maine have
been received. Henry's brokers will
soon be demanding increased margins in
the way of advertising, if nothing more.
We understand that VIM. Erratt will
soon open out new stock of hardware in
the room lately Occupip by him in con-
nection with Post & Van Arsdale. Mr..
Erratt had a good trade before, and will
doubtless do well, in his new enterprise.
1t requires IS ex-rebel soldiers to do
the work around the hall of congress
which Is union soldiers used to perform;
but down south, by suppressing the
Republican vote, four rebel soldiers have
as much political power as seven union
soldiers.
Eighty to one hundred thousand dol
lars were expended by the national Dem
ocratic campaign managers, during the
three days previous to the election, and
about three thousand votes changed
thereby. Blaine says never before were
such scenes witnessed in Maine.
In Maine the Insignificant Democratic
party took what the Greenbackers Of
fered them. The Greenbackers with
that generosity peculiar to political
parties offered them the privilege of vOt-
ing for their candidates. As the DEM
Ocrats in Maine had no power to enforce
better terms, they accepted the rendered
offer. They now repay their Greenback
friends by claiming Democratic victory.
If we had nothing else to do and moth
ing of more Importance to publish, we
might devote more attention to
correcting the errors and manifestly
false statements Of our cOtempOrary. As
it is we will simply ask if it had re-
porter at Mrs. Browns social, and about
how many attended the enthusiastic"
meeting of Tim Tarsney's at Mackinac
Tuesday night. No such meeting or
social took place. Our Democratic
friends were evidently off their bearings
Tuesday night.
Wehaye received book entitled South
eastern Kansas, written by member of
the Chicago press. The book is neatly
gotten up and we'll written, contain full
maps and gives full and reliable infOrma-
ton in regard to all the counties in
southern and southeastern Kansas, the
more fertile portions of the state-with
map of each county. Also valuable in
formation in regard to the great lead
and zinc mines of Southwest Missouri
and southeastern Kansas. The book is
for gratuitOus distribution, and may be
had fee of postage by addressing j. E.
Lockwood, Kansas City, Mo. 1t should
be in the hands of every person going to
Kansas.
The Democrat, in its last issue, devOtes
nearly column to some extracts from
the Chicago Times, giving headlines all
going to show that northern Democrats
are being bulldOzed. Two of the cir
cumstances given we know nothing
about, but in regard to Senator Winter
terbOttOm's residence at Michigan City,
being bOmbarded by Republican Sene-
gambians," we would simply say that
Mrs. WinterbOttOm has published card
in which she denies that any such trans
action took place. The Senator was away
from home at the time, and Mrs. Winter
bottom feels very much chagrined that
any statement Of the kind should have
been published. We have little doubt
that the other transactions referred to
have about the same foundation in fact.
There is an old axiom in law: "a part
| false, all false" Our readers can draw
their own conclusions.
1t takes very little, in the way of en-
cOuragement to make the ordinary Demo-
GRAFT happy. The average Democratic
editor, with some Insignificant Office in
view, becomes eloquent, and will hang
his banner on the outer wall decorated
with fowls of many varieties upon the
smallest possible pretext. 1t would
seem, almost, that in their mad career
after Office that their brains had become
added. This is exemplifed by their
conduct over the Maine election. Even
in the event of Republican defeat
which now seems very improbable, it
would be in no sense Democratic vic
tory. The fusion candidate for gov
ernOr is not and never has been a
Democrat. He is Greenbacker.
and previous to that was Republican.
In Maine the Democrats are simply the
tail to the Greenback kite. Last year
the Democrats had in Maine Fl 1858 votes.
