WARMER OBSERVATORY,
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Oct. II, 1882.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-Th following facts
regarding the present large comet are
OF such an unusual nature that we
transmit them to you for such disposi-
tiOn as you may choose to make.
Yours, G. 8. WHITTEMoRE, Sec'y.
The present comet in the Eastern sky,
which can be seen by everyone at early
morning, is certainly the most remark
able one Of all the modern comets. Prof.
Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner
Observatory, Rochester, N. Y, states that
the comet grazed the sun so closely as to
cause great disturbance, so much so that
it has divided into no less than eight
separate parts, all of which can be dis
tinctly seen by good telescope. There
Is only one other instance on record
where comet has divided, that one be-
ing Ciella's comet of 1916, which sepa-
rated into twOparts. applications have
been made on Mr.. II. H. Warner by par
ties who have noted these cOmetary off
shoots, claiming the 5000 prize for each
one of them. Whether the great comet
will continue to produce a brood OF
smaller comets remains to be seen.

Again In the Field.

Brick" POmerOy will early in NOVem-
ber, 1882, resume the publication of
POmerOy's Democrat, new edition, as a
red hot Democrat newspaper. 1t will
be large tlfty-six column sheet, eight
pages, well printed, and will probably
combine the butt end of a battering
ram with the business end of a hornet,
especially as its editor has for the past
twenty years been a close observer of
parties and their conduct. Its literary,
descriptive and Saturday Night features
alone make it a most readable paper, but
now that Brick" is to deal out that
spicy, pungent, penetrating editorial
sassafras that pleased Democrats and
made Republicans vince, it will prob
ably jump at once into old time ciTcula-
tiOn, and be ordered sent to thousands
in all parts of the country. The Demo-
crat always was fearless sheet, either
in attacking an enemy in front or fol-
lowing in pursuit. By sending 50 to M.
NJ. POmerOy, Denver, Colorado, right
away, persons can get in for the opening
chorus and be entertained right along.
Tired of working to organize a Green
back party that wont organize, POmerOy
will work to have the Democratic party
kill off its useless bosses and pay off the
public debt at once.

WHAT MCKINLEY WILL DO.
MagnanimOus (?) Proposition to submIE
to the Result OF the Contest
columbus Times. 2Oth. ]

columbus Times. 2Oth.l
A Times reporter, while meanderinR
around the State House yesterday after
noon, wandered into the Executive De-
paftment, and found Hon. william Nc
Kinley, of Canton, in close cOnfab with
AttOTney-GeneTal Nash, Governor FOs-
ter and Captain Alexis Cope. 1t was
such solemn looking party, resembling
a group of refugee orphans, that it
caused the Times man to lean up against
the wall and weep.
Recovering from the mOmentary sad
ness, an entTee was made into thA
presence of the quartette. An intro
ductiOn to Mr.. Mckinley opened the way
for few questions.
81 understand, Mr.. Kinley, that you
have said, that if the returns show that
your majority is not legal one, you
waive all claims in favor of your COM
petitOr, Mr.. Wallace. Is that correct
statementp" was the first query.
"Well, it is so, in one way. believe
/ am elected by an honest majority OF
eight votes, and | understand my COM
petitOT intends to contest my election. 1
have said, and say it now, that want
him to contest it, and If am not en-
titled to a seat in Congress, | do not
want it of course. That is the way L
have stated it,"
l. ndG puIS Jue mdGLeI III d ulu6T6uh
light from that indicated by reports.
You had peculiar fight in your district,
did you nOtP"
'Yes, it was very singular campaign,
but if had to fight 1t now, l would
carry the district by at least 1000 ma
jOrity."
what were the principal causes of
the opposition"
"The labor troubles at Liverpool and
Youngstown, and the Granger element
caused the principal detection"
what was the matter with the Gram
gers?"
"Why they had lot of questions pre-
pared for the candidates. 1 paid no at
tentiOn to them, and my opponent
answered them all in the affirmative,
and they got mad and charged me with
| ignoring them. That, believe, was the
sum of my transgTessiOn."
Before any more questions could be-
asked, the gentleman extricated him
self from further interview, by plead
ing the necessity of a departure, to
reach the train, and he was allowed to
go in peace.

THE numerous friends of Major Nc
KinIey in our township rejoice over the
victory he received over the cOnglOmer-
ated mass of his opponents. His victory
in the contest shows his popularity in
the notwithstanding Cor. Canton
Repository.
So it does So it does Let's see
how it stands:
If Mckinley had got the majority he
claims, and 1,7O5 additional, he would
then have proved himself as popular as
the State ticket. Suppose we don't say
anything more about popularity this
time, but some other time we will talk
about pOpularity.-[Allianc Review.

bad shape of the "grand old Republican
party" the managers of which began in
1876 the game of fraud by false count
ing, improved since by step-ladders and
Major counted in by a little more of the
same sort. OF course it rushes to the

are.
