MCCLURE, o., Sept. %.
ED. NoRTHwEsT:-The Mcclure cor
respondent Of the South Toledo New
Era reports the Democratic meeting
and pole raising at this place on Satur-
day, Sept. 18th, and gets in his dirty
work, which shows not only his own
spirit of meanness but the scurrilous
methods of the g. o. p. when they at
tempt to report the proceedings of
Democratic meeting. G. w. Emery,
the correspondent, says: "Before the
evening speech a great number of the
regiment became so drunk as to be un-
able to march," Lie No. l. He then
says "threats were made to tear down
the Blaine and Logan banner before ten
O'Clock, but they luckily gave that up,
portion of them had become so intox-
icated by that time as to be unable to
assist" Lie No. 2. He then says 'sev-
eral of the uniforms had been pawned
at Peterson's saloon." Lie No. 3. Then
he says that Saturday, Sept. 18th, will
long be remembered as a day of drunk
enness in Mcclure. Lie No. 4. Now I
wish to say that there was goodly num-
ber of honorable Republicans in Nc
Clure Sept. 18th, who were heard to re-
mark that good order and soberness
prevailed to an extent not usually seen
at SO large a gathering. By the way,
Mr.. Emery will probably dish us up
something in this weeks Era about the
Carl Schurz excursion last week. He
made the trip as far as South Toledo
and returned, reporting that by actual
count there were $50 persons aboard the
train and that 800 were drunk. The
facts are, on the return trip there was a
few young fellows under the influence
of the ardent, enough so as to be noisy;
also Republican SO full he failed to get
offat his station and was carried through
to Delphos and returned next morning.
But Emery, like his ilk, when looking
at Democrats holds the large end of his
telescope turned towards his eye. Geo.,
when you write up the doings of our
town give facts, so the fair name of Nc
Clure will not suffer. We can stand
few lies here at home, George, but when
you write for the papers write facts.

Honesty is the cardinal principle Of
German economic training. There is
less dishonesty in Germany than in any
other country on the globe. Defalca-
tions in business are almost unknown.
Dishonesty among government officials
is accompanied with the most terrible
punishment and everlasting disgrace.
The few officials of Germany who en-
gage in dishonest acts and are discov-
cred seldom wait for a trial. In fact
the custom of suicide has become SO
general under such circumstances that
the news of the detection of official dis
honesty and self-destruction pass over
the wire in the same message. The
Germans of America are as honest as
their people in the Fatherland. What
can they think of the Mulligna letters.

Figuring mp the Result.

IN. Y. Correspondent Chicago Daily News,l
"The election of Grover Cleveland tn
the presidency seems assured, so far as
figuring at the present time is concerned.
On september l, your correspondent
determined TO interview Democrats and
Republicans of national reputation for
ten days, get them to figure the result
by States, and thus present probably
the first detailed opinion of the cam
paign. lnall % gentlemen were inter-
viewed-13 Republicans and 10 Demo-
Gratis. There are 401 votes in the elec-
toral college this year, made up of 38
States. 1t is generally conceded that
the fusion of Democrats, Greenbackers
and labor advocates in Michigan will
be successful, giving Cleveland Z and
Butler 0 of the total 13 votes of that
State. Thus, there remains really only
395 votes in dispute and the winner
must have 1873, or 20l in all. s
The Blaine column, without serious
ly disputed States, stands as follows:
Colorado, 8; California, 8; Iowa, 13;
Kansas, 8; Maine, 6; Massachusetts, IA;
Nebraska, 8; Nevada, 8; New Hamp-
shire, 4; Oregon, 8; Pennsylvania, 80.
Rhode Island, A; and Wisconsin, IL.
making a total of 124.
The Cleveland column--and there il
not seriously questioned State in it
stands this way: Alabama, 10; Arkan-
sas, 7; Connecticut, 5; Delaware, 8;
Florida, 4; Georgia, 12; Indiana, Is;
Kentucky, 13; Louisiana, 8; Maryland, 8;
Michigan, Z; Mississippi, 8; New Jer-
sey, 0; North Carolina, IL; South Caro-
lima, 8; Tennessee, II; Texas, l3; Vir-
ginia, IL; and West Virginia, 6; Mis-
souri,, 16; making total of 100.
Butler's column contains only votes
from Michigan.
The three great States in dispute are
Illinois, %; New York. SO, and Ohio,
%, total of 81, filling the grand total
of 401.
The Democrats claim Illinois, Ohio
and New York, and the Republicans
do likewise, both equally persistent,
and with reasons, apparently, of equal
value. Should the Democrats carry
either of the three States Cleveland's
election is foregon conclusion, while ac-
cording to the same figures, Blaine must
carry all three of them, together with
Wisconsin, and the loss of Wisconsin to
Blaine would give the place to Cleve-
land without New York, Illinois and
Ohio, always counting upon fusion sue
cess in Michigan. In conversation
with the writer, Hon. Sam Randall
said the figures here presented were
unjust to Cleveland. After carefully
footing up the columns and discussing
this and that State, Mr.. Randall said:
II think 1t will be conceded that I
know something of the feeling in Penn
sylvania, and with every confidence in
the world / ask you to put that State,
with its thirty votes, in Cleveland's col
umn. And why do you attempt to-
mislead Western people by placing
New York in dispute? 1 tell you we
will carry this State without any great.

TOO MUCH COLD WATER.
An Effort Said to be Afoot to Have ST.
John Withdraw i'm Blaine's Behalf.
Especial Despatch to the Enoairer.1 !

New YORK, September 1s.-It was
said at the Democratic headquarters
tonight that one of the purposes of Mr..
Blaine's visit to this city was to Sc
cure the withdrawal of st. John, the
Prohibition candidate. The informa-
tion Of this purposed movement was
given by leading Prohibitionist. He
said that the argument used by Mr..
Blaines friends was that the vote in
Maine on the prohibition amendment
should satisfy every body that, Mr..
Blaine was as good friend of the Pro-
hibitionists as Ex-Governor st. John.
He added that Governor ST. John was
not in New, York, and that his friends
would not consent to his withdrawal.
Should he, however, decline the nomi--
nation, an equally strong candidate
would be at once put in the field. Ex-
Mayor A. p. d. Miner, of Dunkirk,
said that st. Johns vote would be large
in all the counties west of Elmira, and
that he would poll 800 votes in Chau-,
tauqua County.

The Anaheim Ostrich Farm.
San Francisco Alta.

Mr.. ]. c. Sketcnley, proprietor of the
Anaheim ostrich farm, who has been in
this city for several days, said yesterday
in relation to the enterprise:
Though the farm now has good pros
poets of becoming a complete success, it
rs still an experiment
1t is about eight miles out of Anaheim
and covers 200 acres. The old birds
number twenty-one, and there are eight
cen newly Matched, about six weeks old.
We do not know whether the young ones
will live or not, though they are consid-
cred out of danger when a month old.
They grow rapidly. being at the age of
six weeks about the size of a full grown
hen turkey.
The birds are attended by three men.
The Matching season has just begun.
have several birds sitting on from twelve
to fifteen eggs eaca, and have a large
number of eggs in the incubator.
If the farm be successful it will
yield large profits. One half of the
ostrich feathers sent from Africa are
marketed in the United States. Califor-
MIA uses many feathers and, under the
best circumstances, we could not in the
next ten years meet the California de-
mand. Each bird ought to yield fifty
long, white feathers twice year. The
feathers have to be washed and curled
and then are worth from four to six dol
lars wholesale. think ostrich farming
can be made to succeed anywhere south
ofSan Francisco, and probably in many
other parts of the State. Fresno County
would be a fine field. The greatest dan
ger to be avoided in raising ostriches is
cold wind. This season will demonstrate
whether the industry will be entirely
successful in California. As said, it is
still an experiment, and though the out
look is rosy it will not do to hold out too
much encouragement to tempt others
into the business until the probabilities
are positively settled.

Nothing is 80 terrible as severe neural

school life. Headaches in a schoolgirl
usually mean exhausted nerve power

over-anxiety or bad air. Rest, a good

But to become, subject to headaches is

the same causes, 10 become an organic
habit of the body. For any woman to
become liable to neuralgia is most ter
rible thing. 1t means that while it lasts
life is not worth living. 1t paralyzes the
power to work, it deprives her of the
power to enjoy anything; it tends to-
ward irritability of temper, it tempts to

who finds herself subject to neuralgia

educated their girls physically; we edu-
cate ours mentally. The Greek mother
bore the finest children the world ever
