rHE OHIO ELECTION.

The result of the election last
week in Ohio was a surprise to
both parties The Democrats
have elected their State ticket
by majority of about ten thou
sand and have thirty two ma
jority OH joint ballot in the
Legislature which ensures the
election ofa Democratic Sena'
tor.
Before the election the Re
publicans were sanguiue that
they would be successful and
the Democrats felt that they
would be defeated. During the
past thirty years the Demo
Gratis have only carried it five
times. The years in which the
Democrats have been success
full there was only a light vote
polled. In the last election the
vote was the heaviest ever poll
cd in the State.
The liquor question had much
to do with this result. The Re.
publicans favored an amend
ment to the State constitution
forever prohibiting the manu-
facture of and the traffic in in
toxicating liquors to be used as
a beverage. The Germans, a
great majority Of whom have
always been consistent RepGt-
lieans, were bitterly opposed to
'--.~,+ and thousands
of them went to the polls and
voted against the Republican
ticket We can hardly hope
that all Of these Republican
Germans will hereafter. act will

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

- = = w - - s@fs - - - =
The county ticket which The
Democracy of Lafayette have
presented 10 the people is
worthy of their confidence and
support. The members of the
of the party especially should
sustain it cordially and cheer
fully.
For the Legislature we have
CAPT. A. J. Baker and 7. B.
Waldrip, both true reliable Dem
ocrats. They are gentlemen OF
intelligence and ability and will
make active and efficient
representatives. The interests
of our whole. people will be safe
in their hands.
For the impo rtant aud respon-
sible Office of Sheriff the De-
mocracy presents the name Of
p. f. Mathews, a honest andiu-
corruptible man and lin every way
competent to fill the position to
the entire satisfaction of the
people. Hx will make a good
and faithful officer.
The Office of Chancery Clerk
is an important one and for
this position We have Mr.. John
f. Brown who possesses admira-
BILE qualifications for the sta
ton. He is active, energetic
and industrious and will per-
form the duties Of tho office
promptly and satisfactorily.
The nominee for Circuit Clerk
is w. Il. Andrews the present
incumbent who has in the past
made fine officer and this is
sure guarantee that he is the
right man in the right place.
He understands the duties of
his position finely and promptly
performs them.
For Treasurer we have j. Nj.
Hall an honest and worthy citi-
zen. He will be a reliable and
faithful custodian of the county
funds.
The nominee for Assessor,
Mr.. w. U. Hampton, is the pres
ent incumbent and everybody
admits that he has made a splen-
did officer. A better man for
the position could not be found
in Lafayette county.
Mr.. j. Il. yunkanon, the nom
inee for Surveyor is thorough
going gentleman and is eminent
ly qualified for the Office
For Coroner and Ranger the
Democracy presents the name
vr ss- 49, WI Mnrrow and
everybody knows that he IL
qualified for that or any other
position on the ticket. He is
deservedly popular with the
people aud they repose the ut.
most confidence in him.
Mr. John A. Butler is the
Dem ocratic nominee for Super
visor Of this beat and he should
receive the hearty support of
the party. He is a good citizen
and will make an excellent Su-
pervisor.

Mayor Edison of New York still continues
to be the submissive tool of Tammany Hall.
he has just nominated for police commits
sioners, John J. German and Daniel O'Riel-
ly, both of them Tammany heelers, totally
untitled for the Office. His nomination of
Richard Croker to be fire commissioner is
very much worse one, however. A few years
ago he was tried for murder, and barely es-
capped conviction, half of the jury being In
favor of verdict of guilty in spite of the
enormous political pressure brought to bear
upon them. Mayor Edson's first intention
was to appoint Croker police commission
er, but the protest against it was so over
whelming that he was compelled to aban-
don that purpose. Tammany, however, in
sisted that Croker should have something
and the Mayor accordingly appointed him
fire commissioner.

The Speakership contest is proving per-
iecsbonanza to the Washington correspon-
dents. No issue of metropolitan journal
is complete without a column of speculation
on the subject. The tone of all three of the
prominent candidates continues to be conf
dent and each one is able to figure out pref
ty clearly his own election. AS but one
speaker is to be chosen, it is inevitable that
two of the candidates are doomed to disap-
pointment Mr. RandalPs skill as an Or
ganizer and the fact that he is the favorite
of Mr.. Tilden who Yields an immense power
over the Democracy, give him some advan-
tages which his opponents do not possess
and which will be found to tell very much
in his favor as the contest progresses. Mr..
Carlisle, however, is making a vigorous
fight and Mr.. Cox is likely to come to Mr..
Carlisle's assistance if he finds, as be proba-
bly, will, that there is no chance of his own
election.

Malone has issued an address 10 the Re-
adjusters of Virginia in which he attempts
to defend the indefensible reputation
Of portion of the State debt of which the
Readjusters were guilty, points with
PRIDE to the measures which have been en-
acted under Readjuster rule in the interest
of universal suffrage and free education and
contrasts them with the intolerance and pro-
scription which prevailed under Bourbon
rule. The success of the Bourbons in the
recent election is attributed to unfair means
on their part, and all the opponents of Bour-.
bonism are called upon to rally for the cam
paign of 1884. Mahone's picture of the evils
OF Bourbonism is probably none too black.
But between Bourbonism and Mahoneism
there is little choice. Both are intolerant
and proscriptive, and both compass their
ends by questionable means.

Congressman Dingley's bill for the relief
of American shipping which passed the last
House but failed in the Senate for want of
time ought to be taken up by Congress early
in the session and promptly passed. The
bill was thoroughly discussed year ago and
Its provisions were generally approved. There
is no reason to believe that public sentiment
in regard to it has changed since then. 1t
would not seem necessary, therefore, for
Congress to go over again the same ground
which the last Congress went over so care
fully. The shipping interest needs relief;
it has waited long, and it should be COM
PEELED to wait no longer.

MADISON SQUARE THEATRE
The LADD
Improved Patent StifTened Gold
WATCH CASES.


THE continued improvements of the
last few years, with those recently added,
keep the Ladd Watch Cases to the fore
front-the standard-and above all compe-
tition.
The Ladd is the only case that has, or
has ever had, any patent upon it. 1t is the
only stiffened or filed case made that has
nickel composition for base, or stiffenine,
and to distinguish it from all others lin
which the common soft red plating metal is
used) it was designated ''stiffened."
The patents granted to the Ladd are
for most valuable improvements, where
by stout, heavy centre rim gives perfect
protection to the movement, and thick
plates of gold are added to those parts most
subject to wear. All exposed surfaces are
covered with, or are entirely of solid gold,
making 1t by far the most durable, the best
wearing, the most satisfactory to the wear
er, and the cheapest case for the price in
every respect, ever produced.
THESE IMPROVEMENTS ENABLE US TO
WARRANT THE LADD CASES TO oUTwEAR
ANY MAKE OF FILLED CASES IN THE MAR
KET.
Ask your jeweler for the Ladd Case. If
he has not got it, go to one who has and
compare it with any similar case-in fact,
we challenge comparison for mechanical
construction, workmanship, artistic design,
engraving, turning, style, finish, and appear
gold cases.
Buy the Ladd, and you will buy the best
and cheapest in the end.
All genuine Cases of our manufacture
have Ladd's patents, with dates, stamped on
the side-band, underneath the glass bezel.
Refuse all others. Send for full descriptive
circular to the

1t will be hard work to extract much po-
litical significance from the recent attempt
on President Ferrys life. Madness, either
from drink or disease, was at the bottom of
it. To be sure the assassin alleges that he
was commissioned by society of anarchists
to put an end to the Presidents life, but this
idea is probably the mere fgment of his dis
ordered intellect. Had he been acting I'M
der the instructions of society he would
have confined his attempt to NJ. Ferry.
His readiness to murder somebody else,
shows conclusively, that he was instigated
solely by passion for killing.

will have the hearty support Of the Journal in
Its efforts to enforce all the laws, fearlessly and
impartially, and it ia sincerely hoped that
gambling houses will never again be allow ed to

When Superintendent Robbins accords the re-
porters fair treatment, they will, perhaps be
better disposed toward him.
