bugbear Is something that oeAfs
democratic stock.
Gen. Hancock made bull when he
went out to contend against bugbear.
Yale students have organized a Garfield
and Arthur club with membership of
six hundred.
What is a "bugbear" anyway? 1t
evidently has very exciting effect on the
superb candidate.
The Boston Herald notes that Polk
Walker, the confederate secretary of war,
is likely to be the United States senator
from Alabama, and says that by and by

Mr. I. c. Evans, the experienced adj
vertising agent of Boston. has removed

this evidence of enterprise displays. and
with many other friends, we wish him in
creased prosperity.
John Kelly is pretty regular for bolter
He has conquered the Tilden men on the
distribution of local offices and at the state
convention at Saratoga, yesterday, John
was called out and made the speech of the
occasion. The convention nominated
Judge Rapallo for chief justice.
1t appears that Clarendon is not without
town representative, Noel Potter having
been elected by some fifty voters, who re
fused to adjourn the meeting after it had
been in session up to daylight of the day
following election day. After the meeting
had been declared adjourned by the consta-
BILE one of the selectmen called for votes,
resulting in the above choice, which will
doubtless be recognized by the Legislature
as valid.
The United States consul at Lyons
states that the cereal crop Of France will
amount to 1O2,OO0,OO0 hecteliters, the
average yield. In 1878 the crop amount
ed to 95,00O,0O0 hectoliters, but last year
it was only 100000 The present
crop is of exceptionally good quality,
Nevertheless there will be q large demand

cereal crop is mediocre, and in Russia
partial failure.
| There was monster celebration of
Boys in Blue in Brooklyn, Tuesday night
over tel thousand men in uniform being
in line, and every one of them a Garfield
and Arthur voter. The procession was
four miles long; and it greatly stirred up
the Hancock roughs, who insulted the
republicans with derisive shouts, and at
one point assaulted with stones and brick
bats a detachment of Boys in Blue, a mum.
Der of whom were seriously injured.
Ohio and Indiana vote October 10Th.
The campaign in both states is very ac-
tive. In New York and Pennsylvania it
is we'll under way, too. The republicans
had a great procession in Philadelphia last
week at which Senator Blaine spoke. The
Tammany democrats had big procession
in New York Thursday night and Senator
Bayard spoke. Senators Conkling and
Logan spoke at Warren, Ohio, yesterday,
at meeting over which General Grant
| presided.
Wade Hampton said, in speech at
Staunton, Va. that the same principles
for which the southern people fought in
the war were in issue now. He was 50
reported, and he denied that he had made
any such remark One denial of this kind
he made in private letter, the substance
of which was published in the Washing
ton Post. Thereupon Mr.. Hampton wrote
to the editor of the paper in which his
speech was reported, denying his denial,
and now he writes to the Washington Post,
apologizing for denying his denial. He
has made very bad mess of it.
The murder of Lord Mountmorres an
Irish Montmorency, near his estate for
his harsh attitude toward tenants will be
| likely to harden the hearts of the British
| liberals toward the Irish agitators.
Baron Mountmorres had Just attended a
meeting of magistrates; his relations to
his tenants were unhappy, he had evicted
too, and he had joined his fellow mag
istrates in calling upon the government
| for coercion measures. Parnell and the
other agitators, while keeping technically
within the limit of political discussion
are really doing all they can to increase
the discomfort They demand practically
the surrender of the land to the tenantry.
DR.. Paget Higgs of London, and Other
electricians, have been supervising the man
