We are pleased to learn, as we do
from the Worthington ADVANCE, that
our old time friend cx-gov. Stephen
Miller who was suddenly and severely
stricken with illness at his home in
that village several weeks ago, IS rap
idly recovering with the hope and ex-
pectation Of being able to attend to
business. We hope the stirling old
patriot may ls:ng be spared, and that
happiness and plenty may attend him

The transportation Of the church fanat-
les 1t The result of the village election
knew no bounds. THEY gathered into
Barber's liquor store, and in knots on
the streets and corners, and discussed
various methods Of "getting cven''
with the people who had the effrontery
to vote them down. One of the plans
proposed was noh-inteYcourse in bust
ness with the ''wliisky men," as the ia
natics call those W!lo supported the
'winni e ticket. This method of pun
ishing the moderate and sensible ele-
ment of the town, we learn, would be
acceptable to the so-called "whisky
men, for they say that about all the
deadbeats, those who do not pay their
debts, are with the fanatics, and their
trade is Of no consequence. Two Of
the hotel keepers, whose trade amounts
to thousands annually, are with the
"whisky men," SO that, under the rule
established by the fanatics, all this
would 60 to the "wl1isky men," One
whose purchases foot up into the
thousands asks whether the supporters
of the church-tickrt will sell goods to
him. Our opinion is that, with their
usual saHctimoniO,!s SWIVEL a,,t! pretenca
OF heavenly merkness and loneliness,
they will jump at the chance to sell him,
goods, while they will go Oh carrying
ontlthe rule, as far rs possible, against
all who dO not agree with them in thei!
fanatical and bigoted EotiouS as to
what men should believe and how they
should vote.
1t would probably be well, for once,
to meet these men on their OWE. ground.
Give them Il few doses of their own
drug, and Sc" how sick they will become.
80 long rs the quiet, sensible, sub>tan
tial business and professional men de-
fer to these fanatics because they ave
running the churches; SO long AS they
admit that these bu|luuZ"rS Of the town
are their equals even; So long rs these
masculine Mrs. Gr'ndys are allowed to
60 on in their insulting and overriding
course, just 50 long will the town be
in Il wrangle and Il turmoil. and the
wheels of brot|'erly Intercourse and of
business upon strictly business princi-
ciples, will he blocked.
