WILL our Democratic friends deny that Mr.. Eby
dropped off the ticket because he is labor

trlbulations of oice-seeking next October than he
does now.
THE Democratic politicians still ''still-
hunt 1t is said that the pous John Wesley
occasionally encourages the boys in hunt for the
still.
THERE is report that the candidates the Prohi-
bition ticket have asked Mr.. Ludlow to withdraw.
because he is engaged in the manufacture Of cider
presses.
THE Democrats made an attempt last week to get
the Governor of the Dayton Soldiers Home removed
so that the place might be given to some Democrat
who would look after Mr.. Mr.. Bookwalters interests
SEVERAL Democrats have already expressed them
selves very forciby with regard to the ticket
Gently nominated by abe "Convention' at the Court
House. They want no Moore of it.
tUITEAU is now kept in almost absolute solitary
confinement. The authorities fear he will, if allowed
communicate with others, engage in the practice
of tricks for the purpose of creating the impression
that he is insane.
OUR Democratic friends say there vacancies to
De nlIeu on tne Democratic county Ticket es Dul
those vacancies will be filed election day. by the

THE Republican Senatorial Convention in the Dis

IN giving convention report last week, omitted
a report of the enthusiastic primary in the Second
Precinct-'South Carolina" This primary is said to

WHEN Rufus Peters gets time would like to
have him turn to the New Testament, and read what
another Peter said Beloved think it strange,
concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as
though some strange thing happened unto you."
THE Springfield Sunday .Neos bids fair to exhaust
the catalogue of title in speaking of John Wesley
Bookwalter. 1t is noticeable feature of the present
| campaign that those Democratic editors who are
nearest the barrel, shout the loudest
WE can imagine jolly, good -natured old Isaac Rob-
erts had he been alive the day of the late Demo-
| cratic convention standing outside the railing in
the Court House, and laughing until tears down
his cheeks, he shouted: What! Is the Demo-

running around the State encouraging drunken
and general devtry in the interest of the Dem

THE Wayery RatchmGa goes in for moving
upon broader, higher plane, politically. This con-
cusion doubtless reached after the election OF
Garfield as Brother Jones discovered that in pub
