. carried every Northern State. The Re
4 publican boys got out, painted their hat
. red, and took the town. Some of tn
Democrats, like their patron saaint, tn
Buffalo Bull, took umbrage at the "ret
rag" and there was show of belligeran
: cy for while, which wound up by ;
Democratic statesman going into the cal
aboose -. Some of the town boys sere
naded some of our citizens with tin horn:

fun with his Democratic friends to-day
"Baby" can hold them alllevel.. james
G. Blaine Steele has arrived at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Berry Steele.
THURSDAY.-Democr are emitting
an occasional howl on the streets, which
sounds like the dismal wall of the coyote
who has been driven away from his bone
-. ohm L. Norris, the detective, is in
town tonight, having social chat with
friends. 49,. Charley Smith, of Jimes,
was here to-day. Powell has that
white hat painted red. go. Johnny Motz
appears in a stylish white plug hat, and
makes a fine appearance. The atten-
dance at the NJ E. Social tonight was not
as large as it should have been. These
gatherings are highly enjoyable.
FRIDAY.-The colored folks have fes
tival tonight, for the benefit of the
church. 49,. 1t was rare fun to-day, to see
some Of the old rebel-sympathiZing cop
perheads shaking hands and congratulate
ing each other over the supposed success
of the copperhead Hendricks over the
brave Union soldier, Gen. Logan. 1t
tickles the heart of the average butter
nut amazingly to think, even in his minds
eye, of a reverse to the. brave men who
whipped the rebel Democratic party back
into the Union-just as he rejoiced when
the Udion arms met with reverse ON the
battlefield. 49,. One old fellow to-day,
who has belonged to the defeated party
for twenty-four years, came down street
with some trepidation to hear the result.
Some cruel joker told him that everything
was given up to Cleveland. The old fel-
low is good deal like Cleveland, in his
domestic relations, and he ran, half-hob-
bling, half-pacing, home to tell his "Ma-
rier" the good news-shoutinga as he paced
along the street: "Oh, Cleveland's elect
edl Cleveland's electedp'. The Chill
dren of Belial-otherwise Butternuts-
are walking around and around, blowing
on transforms, and swallowing other
kinds of horns, tonight.
SATURDAY. = Our old friend David
Higgins, of Coal Township, is in town to-
day. -. "A load of Scioto River fish is
being offered for sale on the streets here
to-day. go. The Democratic boys have
been having their fun to-day, but every
body kept in a good humor until tonight, |
when some of the boys got a little too |
enthusiastic, and undertook a little bull
doing, which met with ignominious re-
pulse. Johnny Wangler attacked e. c. |
Powell, in Pugh's without any provoca-
tion whatever, when Powell struck at |
him, which completely scared all the fight |
out of him. Several young Democrats
thought CD they would attend to Polit e.
man Hoskins, if he only had his star off, - /
but Joe informed them that he could
thrash them as easily with his badge off
as with it on, and they stopped that kind
of talk at once. "A surprise party was
given to Mr.. Jerry Aten to-day and to-
night, by large number of friends. 49,.
There was drunken, bowling Democratic
mob on Broadway street tonight, filling
the air with profanity. There was fight,
in which a young man named VIII Hack
EFT, who had been looking for some one
able to fight him, found his man. George
Denny, Republican struck Hackett, Lon
and one or two others, and got
away. The Democrats say George ran,
but while the Democrats were pretending
to hunt him, the Standard reporter met
him, and spoke to him on the sidewalk,
at the edge of the crowd. All this fuss
ing is nonsense. The boys could have
their own fun without it,
SUNDAY.-An Indian Summer day.
L. c. Long is now living in town.
49,. Miss Caddie Atkinson started to
st. Louis, to-day, her brother, G. A, ac-
her to Hamden. :. -. The in
creased attendance at the churches and
and Sabbath Schools to-day indicate that
the political excitement is wearing itself |
OUT "A fine test of the relative
strength of religious and political faith
was made last night When the drunken
Democratic mob was raging and swear
ing around on Broadway, a Democrat |
who claims to be a Christian, and has |
been a teacher in different Sabbath |
Schools, declared that he was proud of |
the crowd, with all its obscenity and pro-
family.
MoNDAY.-Riley Corn, of Bloomfield |
Township, is in town to-day. Mr. |
James Meacham, Sem, still walks to town |
and is in to-day, looking in excellent |
health. -. Perry Byron, of Liberty, is in
to-day. He is going to have public sale
at his place on the Goth. -. Mrs. Cher
ington, mother of Sheriff Cheering ton,
Mrs. Dr. Ewing, the Shefiff's sister, and |
Mrs. Sheriff Cherington, called at the |
Standard Office to-day. .....As illustra-
tive of the uncertainty of counting cleo
tion returns in close race, Mr.. G. w.
Rice tells tonight of a race for Justice of
the Peace between himself and the late
George w. johnson, many years ago. The
count showed that Mr.. Rice was elected
by small majority, and was so cried by
the Judges of Election at the door, and
Rice went home satisfied of his election.
But the next day the ballots were count
ed over again, showing the contest to be
tie A similar case was that of the late
John Schweitzer, who ran for some local
Office, many years ago, and was defeated
by one or two majority. His German
friends bored him so much about it that
John employed a couple of men to go
over the count again, when it was dis
covered that John was elected by two
majority.
TUEsDAY.-Mrs. Hyde, of Portsmouth,
who has been visiting Mrs. G. w. Rice,
