E% Several Republican naners INDULGE

E Several Republican papers indulge
in would-be cutting sarcasm anent the
detection OF the Wapakonetta Bee. 1t
is probable that the refusal of the Bee tn
support the Republican ticket will not
influence very great many votes, but
when there is added to the Bee, papers OF
such recognized influence as the Mans
field Herald, Upper Sandusky Repubi-
can and Perrysburg Journal. not to
speak of the Bacyrus journal, each Of
which either refuses to support Mr.. Fos.
TER or tacitly ignores his candidacy, we
submit that the detection is serious. To
these journals can be added such recog-
nized leaders Of the Republican party as
ALpHoN' 10 TAFT, General BEATTY and
others. The Republican press can find
more profit in healing the dissensions in
their own party than they can in circula
ting apocryphal stories Of differences
among the Democracy.

Strange But True.

For six weeks the Democratic press
of Ohio has challenged the Republican
press to produce BookwALrER's letter to
the Jacksonville Courier, so much quo
ted by the Republican press. The latter
have made what purported to be extracts
from said letter. They have intlmated
dire things concerning it, and have hint
ed that BooKwALrER gave himself away
therein, etc. Even JOHN SHERMAN, the
lifelong politician and office-holder,
quoted from that letter. And yet for
six weeks the Democratic press has been
challenging the Republican press to pro-
duce the letter; not garbled, forged ex-
tracts, but the whole simon-pure letter.
And the Republican press has been as
silent as the grave in response. Com
ment is needless.

wThe Republicans are nonplussed

AF The Republicans are nonplussed.
They have no platform, no principle, no
party prestige. They are afraid to pub
lish their platform. They have no prin-
ciples to advocate. The only prestige
they have left is the tenacity with which
they cling to the Offices Of the State and
Nation. They cannot abuse the Demo-
cratic State ticket, because every man on
that ticket is man and gentleman,
without blemish on his record, private
or public. They have but one resort
left them. They are flooding the State
with secret circulars OF such character
as would make any honest man blush
were the authorship laid at his door.

From the Marietta Times, 2sth ult.
There was meeting held at the May.
or's Office last Saturday evening to hear
proposition from the Pennsylvania
Railway Company, presented through
General Warner, to build the Ohio VAL
ley Rsilroad from Bellaire to Marietta.
The meeting organized by electing May
or Harte. Chairman F. A. Crippen, Sec
retary. The substance OF the PROPOSE
ton presented by General Warner was
that if the people along the proposed
road would secure the right OF way and
subscribe 100000 that the PennsvIva-
MIA Company would subscribe 100000
moH TO he used in grading the road
II this sum, $4,000. would prove in
sufficient for the work, then the Penn
sy ylvania Company would subscribe the
balance. They also agree to furnish all
the money necessary to complete the
road after 1t is graded and supply the
rolling stock. After brief interchange
Of opinion committee consisting Of
A. T Nye. Jr.; E R. Dale. Henry Bohl,
John Mills. Jr., and T. F. Davis was
appointed to call meeting at tue Court
House on Monday evening.
The Monday evening meeting was
largely attended and General Warner
re-stated the proposition OF the Penn
sylvauia. Company. The following gen.
tlemen spoke briefly hut earnestly in fa-
vor of the road: H. BOIL, A. T. Nye,
Jr., NJ. P Wells. W. L. Rolston, o M
Lowell, ]. W. Nye, B. Rodick, John
Mills, Jr., E. R Dale and others. The
following resolution was unanimously

Resolred, That we, citizens of Mariet-
ia, Hsrmar and vicinity, pledge our
selves 10 raise the proportion of the
cost OF grading road between Bellaire
and Marietta that would fall to us as
our fair proportion Of 100000.
Under the above resolution Msrietta's 9
share will be about $4,000.
Subscriptions to this read will not be
in the nature of donation as the Penn
sylvania Company will see that the
stock, Of which they own q majority,
shall not become valueless. General
Warner will proceed at once along the
line OF the road to present the matter to
the people. All our citizens consider
this the hest opportunity for road we
will ever have.

they do not put the patent seats in a

will burn them to the ground. A writ
ten notice was posted upon the Presi-

effect. Every school house should be
furnished with patent seats, but no one
is justi6able in burning the bouses, be-

ssDewlcK couNgY'S LIVE srocE----A hERD OF
JIRsY'S.

The most casual observer has not failed to
note the marked improvement of live stock
of all descriptions in this city. The change
for the better even within the past two or
three years has been wonderful. farce years
ago the majority Of farmers teams seen upon
up--mule. Indian pony, mustang and crow
bate. Now, out Of from three to five hun
dred farmer teams to he seen on our streets
In the course Of da', not over dozen will
be really poor, while great majority will be
found sleek, fat, well kept and spirited. The
ne xt marked improvement is in the hogs.
For two years now Berkshires and Poland
Chinas Of n high grade have taken the lead,
aud from runty grunters our market In the
line Of hogs ranks with the best in the west,
and tar ahead Ct the hogs found upon the mar
kets Of country towns in the eastern states.
The improy cment In cattle is hardly less mott.
csable. Following these lines come the sheep
and fowls. Much is due the herd law for this
state Of affairs. With the herd law it pays
only to keep the best. Did the cattle and
hogs Of this county wander around 1T large.
there Is little doubt Of their deterioration.
We were led to these emarks from the fact
that II. c. Mann lefs for Lawrence yesterday

longing to +. A. Smiths famous herd OF Jer-
sy's. The cows that MIR. Mann has gone for
are Of PURE imported stock, and are known

he pays large price for them, be is getting
something whose strain and blood are indi.-
puta3ly pure. There were cows in the Smith
herd that give milk which in richness and
butter producing qualities was little short o.;
the richest cream. The ultimate value Of
such stock to a county settled ny such enter
prising and spprccistive men as are the Tar.

The successful Inauguration Of line of
Missipri grain barges from ST. Louis to the
Gull, is probably of vastly more impo lance
to the grain growers Of the west than many
would think. THE idea was last wear en-.
couraged by Gould, and its success may be
at the back Of the desire to reach this vale,
with line o. road. At any rate the tow boat
Jay Gould and barges left 81. Louis on the

bushels Of bulk wheat, equal to 5000 tons.
for New Orleans. to be transhirped there for
Europe. The tow boat Future City also left
for the same port with four barges OF bulk
grain, but the number OF bushels was not
given. At the rate OF ten tons to the car it
