some ot the most eminent men oi tiVhOl
party have done good work on the stump
in this Ohio campaign. the Republicans
realize that the loss Of the state
would damage their chances Of
success i'm the Presidential contest,
and the Democrats understand that sue
cess I'm ohio will help them
i'm the national. contest next wear.
Both parties. therefore, have
put forth extraordinary efforts. The
Democrats have suffered from faction
fight, i'm Cincinnati and Cleveland, but
GOOD management on election day may
prevent loss of votes on account Of
these FIGHTS that Will affect
the result The temperance people have
mo-, been idle. They have worked
zealously for the pr hibition amendment.
They have had fifty strong speakers con-
stantly engaged. besides innumerable
auXiliaries. such as Christian unions,
temperance societies and ministers of the
gospel. The people OF Ohio have had a
shaking up such as they are not likely to
have again soon. OF course. there Is a
gr at deal of speculation about the
result of the election. Politics IN
Ohio has undergone many changes
in TIE last twenty years. In that time,
maiorities have ranged from l0l 900 for
the Republicans in 1863 to 10000 for the
Democrats i'm 1852. I'm 1861, the Republic
can majority was 5o,5S6: in 1850, 29,936;
in 1867. 3.93S. The Democrats, however,
carried the Legislature in 1867. and
sent Judge Thurman TO the United states
senate In 1865, the Republican majority
was H,i2>: in 1869, IBIS: in 1870,
the Democrats carried the state
by nearly 5000 majority; in ISL,
there was Republican majority of
10000: in 1872. Republican, 37,j3l; in 1873.
Democratic, Sl1; in 1874. Democratic.
17,203; in 1876, Republican, 1,5l6; in 1871,
Democratic. $500. From lS1I TO 1852 the
state was Republican. The counting of
the ballots next Tuesday will be awaited
with deep interest throughout the country.
senator Malone has issued an address
to the voters of Virginia. He claims that
without repudiating "A dollar the Read
iusters plan saved the State l2.4l3. I20.
In addition 10 this be claims that the Re
adiusters have reduced assessments. low
cred the taxes and reduced tine expenses
of government. All this sounds well. but
isn't Mr.. Mahone talking for effect: Will
his figures and his claims be admitted:
After pointing out good many more
things which the Readiusters have done
for the good of the state, he says;
Yes, voters of Virginia. it Is upon your
hallots-yOur free ballOts-that it now
wholly depends whether the evil YOU ASyc
/ ESCAPED shall return, ~ whether the good
that has been accomplished shall be con-
lirmed perpetual and multiplied. All Of
you have your suffrage free and Unbought,
and even you who are able To pay for it,
and did pay for 1T. shall be grateful for
dellyeranCc from a qualification which
put your dearest right at the mercy of
partisan assessors and collectors, and
conditioned that right upon stipUlatiOnS
that were dCrOgatOry to your manhood.
BY the repeal of the qualification 10y the
Readjuster party. absolutely franchise,
thousands of white and colOred citizens.
and those 10 whom the hallot-boN and the
path To- IL were closed by fundcri~m. and
are now reopened by readiustment, should
consider 10 the proudest privilege of their
lives to east their ballots for the Read
iustcr party"
The truth i that about the only thing.
the people of Virginia have got from the
Readjustcr party i a political boss. There
are a good many political BOSSES in the
country. hut it will hardly he denied that
Malone Is the champion boss. There
isn't state or Federal office in the state,
ir reports are true, which haven't been
made To serve his purposes.

FISHERIES on the Georgia coast" says
the Macon IeieTugh. .'might be made
profitable, and yet they barely exist even
in the most primitive shape" 'What is
the NATTER" it asks, with our saltwater
neighbors:" BY this we infer that salt
water fish are scarce and dear in the in
terror, which ought not to be. Georgia has
a fine coast of nearly two hundred miles
for fishing. and the numerous islands
increasing the length of shore. and
broad. deep, Iand-l0cked bays and sounds
afford the greatest advantages for the
fisherman. There is no reason why salt
water fish should not De as abundant and
cheap on the Georgia coast as on any
other coast Of the United States.
II is stated in the Washington specials
that the lottery companies, which have
been refused the use OF the money order
and registered letter system. are using
the postal notes with considerable advan-
tage to themselves. The notes being pay
able to bearer, they have no trouble in
getting the money on them. The question
is, however, how can they get the postal
notes: The Postmaster Generals order
il that no mail matter shall be delivered
to the lottery companies. The postal
notes can't be ST much benefit to the COM
panies unless they can get hold of them.
1t is by no means definitely settled
whether the War Department or Lieut..
Darlington is to blame for the failure of
the Greely relief expedition. II is as
serted at the Signal Office that the supple
mental orders which required Lieut.. Gar
lington to leave supplies a Littleton
Island accompanied the original orders
and were enclosed in the same envelop.
