THE DEMOCRAT, published last Thurs
day, two days after the Ohio and Indiana
elections, ventured to make this predic-
ton for the enlightenment of its readers:
"The indications are that Ohio has gone
republican by small majority, while
Indiana is solid for democracy" Won
der if The Democrat admits by this time
that it is not much on indications this
year, and is playing the role Of ''the
blind leading the blind"

EDITOR REPuRLICAN:-

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,
In the contest over assemblyman in
| this distict last year, somewhat inebri-
ated Democrat gave me his views on the
situation somewhat after this fashion:
eff Democrat runs, [ always vote for
him, but rs between two Shanghais, (hic, J
| vote for the best man." This seems to
me to be the situation in Dodge County
as to the contest for the Office of Treasur-
er. Both candidates are Democrats and
Republican voters are under no obligation
from a party standpoint to vote for the
nominee on the independent ticket, if the
interests Of the county could be better
served by electing his opponent. Expert
ence should have taught the voters of
bod &c County to change their treasurer
frequently and although Schott their in
dependent candidate may be personally
honest it is well-known that he does not
possess sufficient education to keep the
treasurers books, and the work has been
done by others. This objection cannot be
urged against Mr.. Schwefel. He has
lived in the county since childhood and
is one OF the most successful farmers in
the town Of Lebanon. He has held many
local offices, and has faithfully discharged
every public duty which has been en-
trusted to him. He is a gentleman of
education, ability and sterling integrity.
If elected his administration of the office
will be free from the slightest faint, cor
ruption or negligence: And if the peo-
pie of Dodge County do elect him,
they may feel sure that they have never
placed in office one more worthy of their
suffrages. So thinks

Hon. ALBERT g. PORTER, the repub-
Iican goyernor-elect of Indiana, was born

University in 1843. The next two years
he devoted to the study of law, and IN
1916 was admitted to the bar, and began
practice in Indianapolis. In 1853 ne
was appointed reporter of the decisions OF
the supreme court of Indiana, publishing
five volumes. Subsequently he served
two terms as attorney of Indianapolis,
and was also twice elected member OF the
CITY council. In 1858 he was elected a
representative in congress, serving two

TO DEMOCRATS.

The conduct Of democratic roughs on
the occasion of the republican parade
and meeting last thursday evening was
a disgrace to the city. Stones, mud and
other missels were pelted at the process
sion, and the air was full of demoniac
yells from ruffans who followed the line
of march for no other purpose than to
annoy the republicans. At Music Hall
vulgar remarks and unseemly noises were
INDUCED in from the gallery and about
the door. This crowd was evidently
packed for the purpose Of breaking up
the meeting. Now, such things are to be
expected in the Yazoo country and some
of the half-civilized counties of southern
Indiana, but they ought not to occur in
the usually orderly city of WATERFOWL.
Every one is jealous of the good name Of
the place he calls home. No matter
whether it be at the four corners of some
cross roads or the largest city on the con-
tinent, the feeling is the same, because il
is inherent. We dare say there was
not respectable resident of this city at
Music Hall in attendance at the several
republican meetings. who was not an
noyed at and ashamed of the rufHanly
conduct of a portion of his fellow-cit-
liens. We do not charge that the
mobs were acting under instructions from
the democratic leaders here, but we dc
claim that those who speak for the democ
racy could have prevented the disgraceful
scenes had they cared to do so. The
question now is, will the leading demo
Gratis of Watertown use restraining in
fuence on the rowdy element of theil
party in the future, or will they tacitly
give their consent by their silence to repe.
titions of democratic rowdyism?

IN some counties in Georgia the repub-
icans ran a local ticket at the recent
election. The Atlanta Commonwealth
warned white republicans how they
might expect to be treated if they sup
ported their own ticket. It said:
Neither money nor social considerations will
deter The Commonwealth from publishing the
Roll of Infamy after the election is over. The
white men of Fulton who vote the Radical ticket
on Tuesday are enemies to the people of Georgia
and their names shall be blazoned that all
Georgians may know and shun them. The
supreme struggle must extend to business and
social relations, and he who is base enough to
vote for our continued enslavement and degra-
dation must be made to feel that he has commit
ed a crime against bis color, his family, and the
best interests of the whole people.

AN official of the Philadelphia mint
says that the demand for cents is so
great that the orders cannot be prompt
ly filled. "There are parts of the
country" he adds, where they are as
rare as gold dollars are here. In the
south the cent is almost unknown, the
smallest coin being fve-cent piece.
Recently, however, there has been
some demand for them from mer-
chants in Georgia and Alabama. In
the far west there is but little call for
them, but when one gets to st. Louis,
or east OF that point, then the cent be-
comes familiar. Wherever there are
six cent fares on the street cars there is
q demand from that city. Now, Louis
vile seldom, if ever, calls upon us,
while Cincinnati is continually crying
for the one. cent piece. New York
consumes q big lot, and SO do the east
ern states. The .two.cent piece was a
good help to us for q time, but none Of
them have been. coined for ten years,
and all that are redeemed ale reduced
into one.cent pieces. aComp etition Ia
travel increases the demand for cents.
Whenever retail trade is the briskest,
then the cent is needed most. {"

Gamhetta, who had been closeted with
the President for some timein earnest
conference. As soon as the prelimina-

eminent statesmen asked the not less
eminent military man whether, in case
of popular tumult, they might "re]y

grim, blu: after little hesitation, an

the government was compelled to con-
TESS that they had made dangerous
mistake in bringing the chambers back
to Paris, and that, unhappily, trust
worthy information led them to believe
there would soon be riots of very
serious character. This, little difficulty
having been got over, the marshal was
asked if he would also sound General
Bourbaki to know If he might be re-
lied on to accept q command for street.

demurred a good deal to this, but was
at length coaxed into accepting the
mission proposed to him. i seems,
however, that General Bourbaki is
made of less malleable materials than
his old comrade; and when required to
say whether he wonld endeavor to keep
Pr esidents Grevy and Gambetta in
power by force of arms, roundly an
swered that he would not move a jot

to see them changed" No other re-

noting that the friends of the Comte de

they have done for several years.

Not many days ago President Grevy
sent q private message to Marshal Mac
Mahon urgently requesting him to call
ct the E]ysee. The Duke Of Magenta,
as may be supposed, has no overwhelm-
ing desire to cultivate intimate social
relations with his successor, but he
naturally thought it good taste to re.

Chief Of theState, partly because such
requests from supreme power are really
Commands, and partly, perhaps, be
cause he is al old soldier and knows
that supreme power has q habit Of MAX

LIKE his brother, the Prince of Wales,
the Duke of Edinburgh likes good things
in reasonable quantity, and is u steady
opponent of the German custom of turn
ing dinner into wearisome ceremony,
protracted beyond all endurance by a
cumberous menu. At the little dinners
at Eastwell there is nc bewildering
number of dishes, but good, straight
forward bill of fare, which maybe eaten
through with perfect enjoyment. Rare
things, however,appea at these modest
banquets-dishes the mere mention of
which sets the gourmands agog-wild
boars from the forests in which Armi-
MUS brought the Roman legions to
naught, and sterlet from the more dis
tant Vo]ga. The sterlet, which. is to the
sturgeon as the smelt is to the whiting,
arrives on some lucky days at Eastwell,
packed on ice. The eating of him is a
species of celebration, and very good
he is when dressed after the Russian
fashion.

correspondent es:-"Christmas eve
the Olof Bull troupe gave an entertain
ment here at the opera house on the
east side. Madame Page, the prima
dona, and her little daughter Josie took
a hack to return to their hotel, about
three fourths of a mile. From the pc
culiar motion of the carriage she nis-
trusted the driver was not exactly
straight, which distrust was quickly con-
firmed by the carriage coming in con-
tact with the sidewalk and sudden
lurch of the hack, which called forth a
lusty scream from the frightened daugh-
ter. Instead of the usual feminine
screech from the mother, she quickly
sprang out of the carriage, mounted the
seat beside the driver Keeling in his
place and delivering the contents of q
rebellious stomach on the street, seized
the reins and drove to the hotel, which
she reached in safety, but nearly frozen.
She also with one hand kept the drunk
en- driver from falling to the earth. 1t
was a plucky thing to do, with the
mercury at twenty degrees below zero,

little control over the Indians. The
doctor met him several times. He is
quite q nico man. He converses in
Spanish but does not like to speak En-
glish. Life is as safe in the San Juan
country, as far as regards the rough el-
ement, as in any place in the world.
A poor man, without a nickel, who
goes to a miners cabin like man, will
be treated like man till they find him
out. There is as much hospitality
shown there as in any country in the
world. They will give the last thing
they have, divide the last bite. That is
the miners characteristic. He said
that in his five years experience IN the
San juan region he never heard of a
mans being robbed or waylaid ON the
pubic highway.
