canvassed by Mr.. w j. Brasfeld and

not so much so to his excellent lady
who had received hint Of the affair.
The entire party were introduced by

THE RETURNS.

The returns from New York, Massa-
chusets .and other states voting on
Tuesday come IN the nature Of a sur.
prise to everybody.
In New York the indications point
to the election Of at least a portion OF
the state republican ticket, with a
republican majority in the legislature.
The most sanguine republican hopes
would have been fully met had the
democrats carried the state by 10000.
Ii Massachusetts Ben Butler, the
coming democratic Moses was
showed under by from 1000 to 1900
majority.
Pennsylvania again swings into the
republican column with a majority of
5000 on her state ticket.
In Maryland and Virginia where
strong hopes were entertained that the
democratic ascendancy would be Grip
pied the democrats have carried about
their usual majorities.
The out look for 1884 has materi-
ally changed since Monday and demo-
cratic hopes for a walk oyer have re-
ceived decided set back, from which
it will be hard to rally.

The Elections.

We give in this issue so far as pos.
sible the results Of Tuesdays elections.
These elections may be properly term
ed the first guns Of the campaign Of
1884, yet at this distance from the great
four.year contest, they can have but a
small effect on the result. Like the
first skirmish of an advance picket line
in a great battle, while they open the
contest and give some indication OF
initial attack, they bear little relation
to the final movements that result in
victory or defeat of the great armies
they represent.
Elections we're held in twelve states
as follows:
In New York TO elec: a secretary OF
state, a comptroller, treasuer, attorney
general, engineer and surveyor. and
both branches Of the legislature.
In Pennsylvania to elect an auditor
and state treasurer.
In Virginia to elect part Of its senate
arc q full assembly.
In Kansas to elect county officers
and some circuit judges.
In Colorado to elect county officers.
In Connecticut a portion of its senate
and a full house Of representatives.
In Maryland to elect . governor,
comptroller, attorney-general and leg
islature.
In Massachusetts, to eject govern
or, lieutenant governor, secretary Of
state, treasurer, encouragement, audi
tor andlegislature.
In Minnesota to elect a governor,
lieutenant governor, secretary Of state,
treasurer, attorney-geneN and railroad
commissioner.
In Mississippi to elect legislature.
In Nebraska to elect justice Of the
Supreme Court and regents Of the
state university.
In New Jersey to elect governor.
part of the senate and full house Of

a new barn

SrAHL, Oct. Give have been
rambling through Liberty township to-
day and were pleased to see so much
"get up and git" manifested by the
good people OF said balliwick; clearing
ground, fencing and building seem to
be the order of the day. We called
on that fellow of jolly proportions, Doc
Bouser who is building a large fine
residence. He has a nice farm of
400 acres and judging from the ap-
pearance of himself and spouse, we
should say he lived at home and
boarded at the same place. Mr.. B.
has Is stands of bees scattered over
the yard. We suggested that he had
better try the Langstroth hive instead OF
the primitive round log hive he now
uses, when he replied that his honey al
way took the premium at the county
fair over the patent hive men and that
bees would make as much honey and
as nice in a section of a black walnut
log as any of the patent hives. Doc
cla ms to be the oldest settler in Adair
county having raised three arre crop
OF corn in 1891, on the Capt.
knight farm.
The people of Ringo's Point are
building large fine house for a school
house that reflects much honor to them.
They don't seem to have the parsi-
monv common to some localities.
Miss Maggie Dlmmett is teaching
good school. The patrons are all
pleased and We are not surprised, as
she is a jewell of woman but don't
tell her We said so.

Substantial Appreciation.

The best mcans in the world to ex-
press your real appreciation of a
worthy enterprise is to give it the
benefit of good word or wish, and
also when the opportunity comes put
your hand into your pocket and give it
a boost with the cash. Smiths Opera
Hall is to be opened on the night of
the 10Th by lecture, and we hope to
see every seat occupied. Grit, enter
prise and industry are qualities that
deserve some sort Of substantial
acknowledgment and doubtles, those
of our citizens have heretofore ex-
pressed their approval by word of
mouth IN such enthusiastic terms, will
be glad to help swell the number OF
dollars taken IN on that occasion. We
understand that the whole amount gees
direct for the benefit Of the institution.
We understand that the tickets are

not die till it had drank TO the dregs

The election in New York has

party can make or break its lead
ers, but the leaders can neither make
nor break the party. The party is
greater than any man in it.
