with q variety of beautiful ami costly presents.
Hiavstha, Troy and Doniphan represented.
1t is not e1aggerating matters when we say that
finer or genteel asscmblage of people ever met
in any town or city, and that the friendship was
real and the good wishes seemed to come from the
heart. This particular 'tinweddingT looked n lit
tie like nickelplated wedding, for of the most
beautiful teasets that saw, brought from
st. Louis for the occasion. The cost of the same
would be sufficient to keep dozen families in tin.
for ten years The following were the donors:
Mr.. and Mrs. C. f. Miller, DIR. and Mrs. s. II.

A DISMAL REUNION.
Keifer Hears Plain Truth NJ q Repsblieas
Cemmittee Meeting.

WARRINGTON, Oct. 2l.-It was an anxious eonclave
which met at the Hubbell Assessment Bureau when
Ohio defeat. Even keifer had been made to COM
prehend that the people rising against him
and his party. He under engagement to
stump in Robeson's District. VIM. L. Chambers
report of the situation. he had observed it, afford
ed no relief TO the gloom which keilers story and
the returns created. Nor did the little speech Of
of the committee tend to help matters. Said he
to Keifer:
''You are on your way to help Robeson. Well,
he needs il, presume. You have yourself had an
escape. 1t will be lucky for him If he gets cd as
well as you have. But there is one thing want to
tell you. and him, and all who have followed you-
lead. You have reused the country, and while you
have been elected, and Rsbeson may squeeze in
again, you will not find Congress that can be led
by you. II the people of your District and Robe
sons District cant reach you, they can change Con
gres-, and put both of you into u minority. That's
the work Ohio as commenced, and the November
elections will complete it, and let neither RObeson
yourself forget it your stumping tour"
This was quite plain enough for even the thick
headed Keller to understand. For two days be
felt sick. Chandler and the others knew how il
then that they determined to try to make up in
the South the losses SURE to occur in the Northern
States.
Before leaving home, Keifer caused to be sent
abroad report that his majority was greater than
ever given in the District. This quite true
because he is the first candidate who has run for
Congress in the District, at present constituted
That essential truth was withheld. The attempt to
deceive was characteristic. The returns show that
the people of keifers District cut him badly at the
polls. Townsend the Republican State ticket
though himself cut badly, ran 600 votes ahead OF
Keifer. He carried Keifer's city Of Spring
field, while it went against Keifer. The Robesonian
Speaker everywhere ran far behind Townsend, whe
himself ran behind the average Republican vote.
This Ia the kind of vindicatiOn and endorsement
which keifer received at home.

Of claim of Jacob Close against Abraham Cole, for
services rendered in trying to property that
vas unlawfully taken away from said Abraham
Cole by his Tobias, and who detained at
Phipsburg, Phillips County, by officers employed
by Mr.. A. Cole, namely Chas v. Deyine and Chas
E. Fox After the said parties made the arrest, ard
could not be longer from home, Jacob Close was em-
ployed to attend to the matter he being citizen Of
Phillipsburg Through his Encouragement, great
deal of unnecessary expense was made. and an at
tempt was made to collect the same of -aid Abra-
ham Cole by said Close. He failed. owing to his
usual bunglng style in matters of law. It then
put in the hands of Fred. J. Close, who, in all
probability, got the half the whole claim, TO
make out of il whatever he could.
Chas n. Devine being by this time dead, and,
although having interest whatever in the eas",
except to perform his duty to Mr.. A. Cole and hav
ing spent $40 of his own money, and two weeks Of
his time. which he never remuneratsd for.
Fred. J. Close makes claim against the Devine
estate, and testifes that. upon making the claim
against Devine, while living. he (Devinel said that
il was all right, but he have little time. and
on such testimony saddled bill of over $50 on the
Devine estate.
Let any one ask themselves whether Dcvine, Eho
was always noble, generous and true, could proba
big regard that his bill to pay, and would, if ly
ing, consent to any such imposition. But never
theless his widow, who has endured all the priva-
tons of the first settlers of State and his orphan
children. have to be the sufferers by one who
not get q "fair shake in Republican County Con
vcntions, nor the endorsement Of the Democrats.
