Shows giving entertainments at a low
rate of admission are becoming the rage
now and many companies are coming down
to pan. This 10 owing chiefly to the bad
business. In largo cities the owners Of
opera houses arc free to say that tho Dime
museums are the attractions that mako
the money and they give good shows. In
country towns like Lancaster, Reading,
Harrisburg, &c., tho skating rinks have
done much to injure the show business,
and in all Of these towns companies at low
prices will appear during the season, The
first to arrive in Lancaster will DO the
Dime Museum company, which remains
three nights. They have an excellent
troupe OF speciality people. During
Christmas week, Conners s. Kelly's COM
bination, including the Ho SO Shoe Four,
will perform for So, eral pights, with mat
inees, at low prices. Early in January,
Bennett & Moulton's large opera company
will come here for q week they will sing

There is nothing in the result of the
Ohio election to depress Democrats or to
elate Republicans. For thirty years
Ohio has been one of the most reliable
Republican States in the Union. Dur.
ing that long period the average major.
ity has been over 10000, demonstrating
beyond theposssibility of doubt the State
is essentially, unequivocally and intense
ly Republican. The triumph of the
Democrats in November last by the
eIectionof Hoadly by a small majority on
local issue, inspired confidence which
had no substantial basis. Garfield was
the idol of the Ohio Republicans, They
were proud of his great abilities his tri.
umphs, and his tragic death enshrined
his memory in the hearts of the people
of a State on which he had reflected
luster. Blaine made Garfeld's destiny
his own. He was tower of strength in
his Cabinet. He was at his side when
struck down by the hand of the assas-
sin; he was with him in his sufferings
and with unfailing tenderness soothed
his dying hours. He was selected by
both houses of Congress to pronounce
an eulogy upon the life and character of
Garfield, which he did in an able and
eloquent address,, which touched the hearts
and won the love and affections of the
people of Ohio, and on Tuesday they man
Tested their gratitude and determination
to by stand the man who had stood by
their cherished idol in life and in death
In the election on Tuesday the Repub.
cans simply carried Republican State

Lamar's Speech.
Aberdeen Examiner. ]

Aberdeen Examiner.
| Fer nearly three hours with the most
absorbed attention, the large audience
at the grand stand at the Fair Grounds
listened to the speech of Mississippi
beloved senior Senator on Monday after.
noon, only breaking silence when their
souls gave echo to the brilliant periods
and glowing truths that fell from his
lips, and then the platforms and rafters
| trembled and guiyered responsive to
| thundercus applause.
| The great statesman, after paying such
/ tribute as was due to the progressive
spirit that animates farming in its va
rious walks in Mississippi, passed to
those mighty questions that are at this
hour aining,,consideration everywhere
in the Republic. and discussing the
dogma of Protective Tariff, treated it in
relation to its bearing upon the husband
ry of the country, tearing away ike cob
webs the fimsy wells and nets spread by
Davis, Simrall, Chandler, Lee, Bynum,
Chalmers and the lesser lights among
| those who for lack of better pretext for
arraigning themselves with the cyclone

To the man who heard that speech,
such efforts as are so often sweated out
on the other side of the question, by tip
toeing stumpers in Mississippi must APP
pear as thin as double rectifed dish
water. A baby can echo Lamar's words
and send them in search of the sack
cloth and ashes that would be objects of
their request if they possessed the virtue
of humility and the power of self exam
ination-but they will go gadding about
the State hunting up little crowds Of
their own until after election day, dodg
ing the blows of the Democratic titan,
and squirting out whole yollies OF thin
baldeldash through their teeth like a
ineseiaundryman squirts starch on the
linen.
1t was grand speech in every sense
and particular, grand in its warning to
the white men of Mississippi to stand
firmly together for safety, Tor ciyiliza-
ton. for their homes, their affairs, their
fresi6es and all that those words imply
mot because of suspicion or hatred Of

gers and turbulent home place-seekers,
who will risk all that Is of others, to gain |
the objects that they have at heart.
1t was a grand speech and all who
heard it went away the better for the
thoughts it kindled and doubts it solved,
and Il Lamar could ever truly and fair
" estimate his own work and weigh it
