TUNNELTON'

Mr.. ARGUS, You have truly a hobby
head. Success TO you.
Local news W scarce this week az Re
publIcan voters at the Ohio election.
John L. Ma,tingly. rising young Dem
ocrat OF Howesville, was in town on
Thursday.
Our worthy p. NJ, a. j. Bonafield, who
hos been sick for the last two weeks, is
improving in health.
Tbos. Mulligan was visiting his parents
at West Uuion over Sunday.
MIR. aud Mrs. NJ. Msloney,o of Tray Run,

ney, on Saturday last.
Miss Lucy Mattingly, OF TOWNSVILLE,

Kngwood. were visiting the family of A.
G. Harshbarger last weeB.
"He who laughs last laughs best" was
never more fully illustrated than at Rowl-
esOurg the day after the Ohio election.
Our Republican friends surmised from the
meager returns received that Joseph b.
Foraker was elected Governor of Ohio.
Such good news very naturally made them
feel as though their breeches were a size
too small for them, and an expansion in
their base ball belt was in order. Not SO
with the Democrats. They felt like Sc
creting themselves in some isolated region
where politics is unknown and moonshine
whiskey is free from internal revenue
collectors. The next on the program
with our Republican friends was how TO
celebrate, Some granger Republican
from the rural district being apprised of
the Republican victory in Ohio agreed to
treat to barrel of cider. The whole
souled, full Of fun, Bob Hollis, was selected
as the man to dish out the cider. Bob was
equal to the occasion, About the first
man he picked on to drink TO the Repub-
licsn victory was the thorough going
Democrat, Capt, @, ID. Furbee. 1t is
useless to say Capt. Furbee realized Bob
had the joke on him.
Our Republican friends have since learn.
ed that Joseph 3. Foraker was elected 10
stay at home. Judge George r. Hoadley
is the man whom the Ono voters elected
as their next Governor. That's the reason
Capt. Furbee laughs The last time |
saw him he was still laughing, but he
says IT won't do to ask Bob what cider
is selling for,

man was at Mrs. Creeks apple cutting

audacity 10 ask Us that question had been
present no doubt he would have carried

Oh yes, cast in your lot with us and

Dictionary has exploded near Reedsville.

We must return our thanks to Patsy

TIE Republican press explained
The Democratic victory in Ohio last
year simply by asserting that it wac
an "of year in politics. There
seems TO be no way Of explaining
why the Democrats carried the State
al the late election other than by
acknowledging csndicly that there
has been 3 great revolution in Ohio
politics within the past Two years.
The A3p seems 10 be permanent
thing, and Ohio must be numbered
among those States which will cast
their electoral vote for the nominee
Of The Democratic party next year.

THE official returns OF the Iowa
election show that the Republican
majority of IS. 900 in that State has
been reduced to beggarly plurality
Of not over 5000. The people have
said that the Republican party must
go, and it ia most assuredly going
rapidly too' Next year the party
will have flushed its course.
