Harvest has commenced in earnest
around here, numbers having COM
menced cutting their wheat Monday.
The stock harvest also seems to be
we'll under way. Scarcely L day passes
but the trains kill some stock on the
railroad. The cattle seem bound
to dispute the right Of way with the
trains, and the train men do not, as a
rule. stand on ceremony.
Berrying is the order of the day

the piles Of raspberries, blueberries,

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1880-10-11

The whole country is now intensely
interested in the result of the state cleo
tions to be held in Ohio and Indiana
next Tuesday. That one will go one
way and the other opposite is probably
most expected, and such result would
continue the presidential campaign ''nip
and tuck" Should both states vote
one way it will be strong indication
of the presidential result in November.
1t is worthy of note that in Indiana
half million votes are expected to be
polled, and that small plurality only
is claimed by either party, the demo-
Gratis about 5000 and republicans 5000.
If therefore an honest vote is polled in
southern Indiana, where not unfrequent-
ly in past years, many repeaters from
Kentucky have voted. the result is en-
tirely in the hands of the silent voters
who will quietly drop in their ballots,
without having made any special noise
or demonstration about it, in manner
which they think the best interests of
the coutry require. More doubt is prob
ably felt to-day as to the general result
than has prevailed before in any presi-
dental election for twenty years.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

The relative strength of the two great
parties is SO nearly equal, that it is
difficult to predict just what the re-
suit Of the presidential contest will be.
All the elections, with the exception of
Maine. have shown a growth of repub-
lcau strength. Vermont indicated that
every republican was in the ranks, and
that an unusual interest is felt in the
result Of the November election. Maine
showed that there was no marked polit-
ical changes there. Local elections
here and there have shown unexpected
republican strength. In Connecticut
on Monday last, the republicans made
great gains in the number of towns car
ried, over the year 1875.
By careful reading of the papers.
We note many favorable indications to-
ward republican success. Very few
republicans who have been worthy
members of the party. will vote the
Hancock ticket. Here and there one,
with some recruits of the Ben. Butler
stamp. are all that are going over to the
democracy; on the other hand, there
are large number of business men in
all localities, who are greatly alarmed
at the future prospects of the country.
should the government fall into the
hands of the South and the worst fnau-
cial heretics Of the north. Others, from
matters of patriotism do not believe it
right or polite. to permit the rule of
the government to 60 into the hands of
the democracy. In all localities, the =
publlcans are working tremendously and,
1t is believed. successfully. The demo.
Gratis are making almost superhuman ef-
forts to carry some Of the doubtful
states, and it cannot be denied that they
have some cause for hope. Indiana has
been q democrt tic state for some years
past. and rCtbing that can be done BY
