this week as one might imagine from the
foregoing, but there is one habit that a
number Of young men in this city are adj
dicted to-and The old ones are, too, Tor

saloons. Its a species Of gambling more
injurious than many think. Several young
men drop into saloon to shake dice for
the drinks, and when one Is beaten he
wants wa what Is called satisfaction, and they
shake again and again. Before they leave
they have spent several dollars and are all

three drinks would have been all they
would have taken. ! am moisture but 1t is

Not long ago / met ex-senator Upton, Of
Nebraska, and found him an interesting
talker on old-time politics in Eastern Ohio.
He formerly lived in Guernsey county,
though he is, 1 believe, native Of Har'
rison, as is the much talked Of Sharon. In
1877 Mr.. Upton was the Wing candidate
IN Gnerpsey county for the Legislature.
His ouponent was Hon. William Lawrence,
who aftergard served term in Congress,
and WHO Is vet living OF Washipgton-or-
the-Pike. At that time there was n nvln .
near Washington one Nero 9HEon, !, =
colored man, who, under the old visible
admixture" law, was entitled to vote. he
would have voted for Mr.. Lawrence on tne
score Of friendship; but hearing that Mr.
Lawrence had said that "he didn't want
any niger votes" he cast his vote for big

Il Was found that Mr.. Upton was elected BY
iust one majority, and Il was always assert
ed mat Gilson's vote elected him., though
Mr.. Tipton told me, in strict confidence Of
eourse. that having voted for himself be
thought he should have the credit OF cast
ing the deciding vote.
A few months ago, ellison died, away up

THE ELECTION IN OHIO

The result of Tuesdays election in
Ohio, may be explained in very few
words, and the following is the whole
thing in nut shell:
Judge Hoadly owed his nomination to
theprominence he had achieved as legal
champion of free rum. 1t was this that
made him the man of the hour for the
Ohio Democracy. Encouraged by the
leadership of so brilliant and respectable
champion and determined to fight
against prohibition on the picket line of
the "Scott Law" the rum and beer in.
terest banded together, raised very large
sums of money and fought as one man,
from first to last.
Senator Sherman, in dispatch to the
Herald, says: The prohibition issue, while
bringing out a large vote, arrayed the
German vote against us and brought US
no strength from the Democrats. While
Ohio will be classed as doubtful State
it will not be really so in Presidential
election.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1883-10-13
THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.
The Republicans Garry Iowa and the Dem
ocrats Ohio.

At the election on Tuesday, Iowa was
carried by the Republicans by majority
of Is, 900 to 80, 000 The Democratic gains
in the river counties are not as heavy as
were expected. In Scott county, for ex.
ample, the vote is relatively the same as
that for Secretary of State last year. In
Dubuque county the Democratic major.
ity was less. The Republicans on the
other hand made some losses in the in.
terror counties where gains were expected.
The vote for the Republican Supreme
Court Judge nominated to replace Judge
Day on account of the supposed hostility
of the latter to the prohibition amend
ment, was not much smaller that that for
Gen. Sherman. In the Sixth Congress.
sional district Stiles republican has been
elected to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of NJ. E. Cults.
Complete returns from Ohio show the
Democratic majority to be about II, 600.
Latest returns on the Legislative ticket
indicate that the Democratic majority on
joint ballot will not be more than "a. The
second amendment will receive about
800, 0OOv votes, and will probably be adopt
ed unless the cities go strongly against it.
The judicial amendment is carried beyond
doubt. The first amendment will not get
over 10000 votes. The prohibition vote
is estimated at from 5000 to 10000, and
Greenback 1900.
The issue in Ohio was purely local, the
main question being on the prohibatory
liquor amendments, and the result is no
indication as to how the vote will be at
next falls elections. The heavy German
element which is Republican, was thrown
against the prohibitory amendment.

Faker Games.

The faker games at the fair were num-
erous, and for ways that were dark they
were peculiar. One fellow had smooth
plank, ten feet long and on it six small
ten pins. For a fee of five or ten cents,
a fellow could have roll at the pins and
if they knocked down two at roll, the
keeper gave them five times the amount
of their investment. Very few knocked
two.
Another trick was the cane man, he
had score or more of common canes
standing in a rack, and for five cents the
investor could toss five rings at them,
taking all the canes he put a ring upon,
not more than one in a hundred won.
Another ridiculous thing, was man
with his face blacaened, who allowed a
person, for five cents to throw three India
rubber balls at his head as he held it
through canvass set up for the purpose.
This same man was here last summer
selling Bibles.
These are only a few of the many en-
terprising individuals Oh the grounds
anxious to turn ali honest penny. The
managers had to watch them sharp or
they would avoid paying their entry fees,
in fact several did slip in and open out
without doing SO. One or more of these
were turned out. The others paid up.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES.

Surgeon General crane, L. S. Army
died at Washington on Wednesday.
1t was only slight shower in Ohio
after all. The old buckeye state is good
for 10000 Republican majority on
straight political issues next fall.
Democratic primaries by the Crawford
system held in Baltimore city on Wed.
nesday, resulted in the nomination of E.
7. Joyce for sheriff, Charles J. Kerr for
states attorney and Augustus Bouldin
for city surveyor.
San Francisco had an earthquake on
Wednesday at midnight. The buildings
shook so that the inhabitants vacated
them and remained in the streets until
morning.
The largest Republican mass meeting
of the campaign was held at IIollis's Hall
Baltimore on Wednesday evening. Hon.
Hart B. Holton, Col. III. Clay Nall, A.
Post Master spoke. The audience was
large and enthusiastic, and were not
dampened a bit by the slight shower il
Ohio.
A despatch from Montgomery Alabama
on Wednesday said:
Four new cases of fever were reported
at Brewton to-day. Three OF the patti.
ents are dying: the Mayor of Brewton, a
pioneer Of the place, being one of the
number. The disease is now pronounced
to be yellow fever. Nearly all the
stores and dwellings are closed, and the
Inhabitants are leaving en- masse.

IT was intimated in the Baltimore Sun,
Of Wednesday, that Gov. Hamilton con-
templates sitting down to an early ban
quet Of Crow. That delectable dish was
rendered him on Tuesday last at Rock
vile. He then politely declined it. What
the condition of the Governors stomach
may be before the campaign is over, time
alone will show. 1t must prove a nau-
seous dish, however, be it ever so invit-
ingly prepared. Poor Mr.. Keedy bears
it's odor on his breath.

Failure of Contractors.

Messrs. Wilcox e Driesbach, of War
grading, &C., on seven sections of the
new B. & o. Railroad, extending from
Fries's hill, opposite the town of Charles
town, east to the farm of T. V. Rose, in
this county, have thrown up the contract
and gone of. This firm came here with
out horses carts, tools or anything of the
kind, depending upon hiring all such
things from farmers and others in the
neighborhood, which they did to con-
siderable extent, and the consequence is
that they are heavily indebted to numer-
GUS persons. Among their creditors are
the following: Rowland & Way, s4OO;
John Moke, $50; W. w. & J. C. Davis.
$50; G w. Shippers, 5000; w. II. Abra-
hams, $50; Evans & Watson, $500: Jos,
Fredericks, s125; VIM. Benjamin, 800:
p. F. Williams, $500; G. S. Jeffries & Co..
5000; Simcoe & Sturgeon, 800; Thomas
McCraken & Bro, SO; l. n. Benjamin,
$50 and a large number of others in
smaller amounts. The failure is attrib
uted to trouble between the firm and the
engineer of the company, the former
claiming that their work was wrongly
classified, and that they were not allowed
enough for it. A number of the credi-
tors went to Baltimore and sued out at
tachments upon the balance due the firm
by the railroad company, amounting to
several thousand dollars, but not enough
to paw the debts. The firm, it is said,
have paid to their employees every dollar
heretofore received from the company.
but being without capital and not re-
ceiving as much from the company as
they expected, they were forced to sus-
pend. How far their assets will 90 to-
wards paying off their liabilities is not
yet known, but there will undoubtedly
be considerable deficit. Mr.. Wilcox
was formerly sheriff of Warren county.
Pennsylvania.
A committee of the creditors consisting
of thirty or forty of the most prominent
citizens of North East, waited ON the
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road in Baltimore on Wednesday but re-
ceived no satisfaction.
About one hundred men have peen
employed by the contractors for three
months past at a dollar day. These
have not been paid their money and are
in great want. Feeling around North
East is running very nigh against the
Baltimore and Ohio and the fugitive con-
tractors.
One of the creditors said to the reporter
eve are needing our money; and on ac-
count of the way we have been treated
many of us are seriously embarrassed.
We have given these contractors almost
unlimited credit, being assured that the
railroad would back them, and that we
would lose nothing. The result has been

EPHR1AM is JOINED TO HIS Idol

y
AS might have been expected, Mr..
Keedy, of Washington county, the cham
pion Democratic Reformer, in the recent
State Convention, has suocumbed to the
pressure and taken the stump for the
Ring" candidates. How earnestly,
how eloquen5ly, this gentleman protested
against the political frauds Of which his
party had been guilty?
And how defiant was he, when charg-
ing his party with sitting public senti-
ment by that oongenial pursuit of ballot
box stuffing, and being Kissed for his te-
merity, he turned upon his indignant
brethren and cried LET them hiss" |

ton whether the majority are with me
or not.
But like many another man, Mr.. keedy
has overrated himself. He didn't after
all possess the courage of his convictions.
lie has been chastised into submission,
and has meekly subsidized into an humble
follower OF the men, whom in his heart he
secretly dispises. What prominent Dem
ocratic advocate of reform "within the
party will be the next to follow Mr..
Keedy's mournlul example?
