on Tuesday evening from a
three weeks visit in Illinois and Wis
cOnsin. He reports these states as sure
for Garfield. j. j. Durkee returned
last evening from Oregon, where he has
been for some four or five weeks hunt
ing and fishing. He says that country
is an improvement on this, for in Ore
gon if a man desires to- fish on Sunday
he don't have 10 fasten his fish
pole to his feet and drag it through the
grass TO avoid being seen. The Graph
ic of this week reports that Vrooman
had large and enthusiastic meeting at
Miller's school house on last Saturday
evening. From the report given by an
Intelligent contraband," he must have
had. After saving the air and pound
ing the floor till about Sunday morning,
he apologiZed for OBTAINING the eleven
men and two boys by saying, when l
get the plug pulled out, l don't know
when to STOP" and when the clock was
on the stroke of "midnight's witching
hour" he stopped Short but, unfor-
tunately, not like grandfather's clock,
'neVer TO go AGAIN.. Lightning struck
Billy Daum, our county treasurer, this
week. One III. A-Clark controlled the
electric fluid. The stroke was so severe

SATURDAY, July "a.
EDITORS News: To-day has been
fete day for the Nationals. Gov. Elder
came according to appointment About
noon the "mOss backs" commenced gath
ering in like devotees TO the shrine of
Mecca AT 2 p. III. the meeting was
called to order in the court room. AL
phabet G. Nixon was called.to the chair
Nj. Z. Stratum was chosen secretary
which position he filed with eminent
satisfaction to himself. Without prayer
the show commenced, and the heavy
elephant and boss actor, =. p. Elder
commenced his TRADE of abuse against
both Democrats and Republicans. He
reviewed the career of the Republican
party and its occasional mistakes,
and magnified them into gross errors
and fraudulent transactions. He entire
ly ignored the great and glorious deeds
done by the Republican party in its
struggle for the supremacy of our nation.
Forgetting how bitterly his party OPP
posed resumption, and claimed that re
sumption would be followed by disaster
to our country, he abused the Republi-
cans for not resuming 70 years ago. His
whole speech was a failure and utterly
disguised many of his party. He would
often tell smutty stories 10 illustrate his
points, and many of them failed to illus
trate anything save that the relator was
a demagogue, pandering 10 the
worst elements of human nature
for his own selfish ends Charley Kel-
star, Hilli&rd and his boys were on
hands, renewing their faith, and fiatter
ing themselves with the vain hope that
the time will soon come when money
matters will be easier, and the govern
ment will provide for its own. Ye, edi-
tor of the Grapic, was on hands, but
his countenence disclosed, early, that he
was not only disappointed, but bored.
Doud, of the Sun, was not there; that
there is feud between the two parties
is evident. Each is trying to force the
other to come over, but the blood in the
Graphic mans eye, and the delinquent
tax list in D0ud's pocket acts most
potently in keeping their parties assun-
der Vrocman followed Elder, and
the crowd followed their noses down
stairs, and so ended the national Green
back labor reform rally. Next Satur-
day the Democrats have their grand rati-
fication meeting, and invite all Demo
Gratis of whatever race or color, to join
them thus one by one they pick up and
put on the old Republican garments and
find fault with each last new one, both
in fit and texture Judge PeytOn and
wife came down last evening. He has
an appointment for tomorrow at Ladd's
school house. By the way, old Ladd's
bull has been running at large again,
and a complaint has been lodged against
him. Z. Ellingston, OF Gould City, was

is almost a certainty
EUREKA, July 81, 1880

was injured in the train wreck a short
time ago was taken home last evening,
the railroad company sending down q
special car for him. 1t is said that
corporations are soulless." This may be
true, yet this instance proves them not
quite hcartless. May his complete re-
covery be speedy. He was attended by

holds forth at Shephard's. :. Bob. Stew

tenderly," and not handle him with
care" If he don't keep away from our
young - ladies. The Democrats are
going to have funeral and pole raising
here next Saturday. Y.
