The Ohio election takes place to-
day. Both parties concede that the
result is very doubtful. The Re-
publicans are moving heaven and
earth to hold their own, and the
Democrats with superb organiza-
ton are making gallant fight for
victory in state that has never cast
its electoral vote fora Democrat since
1856. That there is a good chance to
elect the Democratic Stale ticket, the
Republicans themselves admit. Both
sides are charging that repeaters have
been colonized in the large cities to
carry the election by fraud. In Gin
cinnati the feeling isyery high and
bloodshed is feared. The election
will be very close and the winning
side is not likely to have as much as
10000 majorityJin vote of 10000

In the matter Of the tariff the
democrats in congress are doing exactly
what they always have done with
all leading questions when in a major
ity, VIZ, Sinking the issue. The re-
verses with which the republican party
met in 1852 are due mainly to their
chnging to the old Morrill, tariff, which,
being a war measure, lost its useful
ness shortly after the closing Of the
war and now raises S125,000,O00 too
much revenue. But the people recog-
nize their mistake ia trusting grieyan-
ces to democratic redress, as the result
this fall viii show. The democrats
had an opportunity to establish them
selves in the confidence Of the masses
by remodelling the tariff, and, as usual,
we're afraid Of the issue.

An the election on the 2 '91th inst. for
the purpose OF voting upon the question
Of issuing bonds amounting to$700 to
defray the expense of erecting a school
building in the southern portion Of the
township, electors saeHld carefully con-
slider which Of the two, bonding or
direct taxation, is the cheapest method
of accomplishing the object in view,
when the amount is comparatively SO
small. 1t should be. remembered that
BY bonding we pay debt nearly twice
over, with interest and sundry other
expenses, while by special taxation We
discharge an obligation at first cost,
While our school board have a surplus
of $500, and while thousands of dollars
worth Of bonds are already Id Columbia
awaiting purchasers, il may be to onr
advantage to raise The desired sum by
special taxation, which would probably
amount to no more than two mills on
the dollar OYER the entire township.
The law provides that, should the
people vote against bonding, the board
shall levy the necessary tax if the
district is entitled to q building.

WE have before us a copy of the
Williamston (Mich.) Enterprise con-
tanning a graphic description Of the
horrors Of on imaginary Dakota biz
zard, which is said to have overturned
stages, buried the corpses of the pas
sengers under mountains Of snow, rent
asunder mail-bags, cutters, buffalo
robes and horses in its terrible fury,
and afterwards froze all solid in one
impenetrable mass Of ice. The old
adage Of 9going abroad to hear the
news may be applicable IN this In
stance, but IN as much as this is the
first intirnation we have received of
said alleged blizzard, it is altogether
probable that the miraculous event had
its origin in some puerile brain thus
eager to forms AN excuse for remaining
in the ague stricken swanps Of the
Wolverine state. We spent last winter
IN Michigan, and to compare this to
that is like comparing June to
January.
