The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1881-11-23

-Aboot-tbe Himsiest thing we've
seen in print for some time is the
sickly array Of figures 10 the last
Commonwealth attempting to show the
Greenback gains Of the past four years
It takes the vote of 1876, when the
party was hardly known outside Of a
few States. and compares it with the
vote of1SS0. Why didn't you take
the vote Of 1868 or thereabouts and
you could have called it all gain. IF
you are desirous Of showing the gains
(?) of the Greenback vote compare
that Of 1880 with the vote Of 1878,
when the party polled its largest vote
and since which time it has dwindled
away until ia come States it is not
half so large IS the Prohibition vote.
In this State the party polled S1,758
votes in 1878; in 1880 it was 20,668,
and this year it is 1876. If that is
increasing we d like to see the mathe-
matician who can figure it out 50.

accompanies them are worth careful

conclusion. The Christmas story is q
model of its kind, and SO is Captain
