Some of the democrats complain because
the republican mass meeting is TO be held on
Monday, giving them no time to hold sub
sequent blowout. Never mind, gentlemen,
your party will come in behind on Tuesday,
as usual.
Il. Carman of Palmyra, N. Y, is visiting
his daughter, Mrs. Or. Palmer, OF this viii
lage, Mr.. Carman is good republican, and
expresses his opinion that New York will
give her electoral vote to Blaine by 10000
plurality.
Boynton and Gentry gave one of the finest
exhibitions at the roller rink last Friday and
Saturday evenings that we ever witnessed.
Mr.. Gentry deserves especial mention for
the ease and grace with which he performed
his feats.

Rumors have been circulated that Col
Todd has promised to make certain appoint
ments in case of his election. We are au-
thorized by him to say that he has made no
pledges to anyone, and that it is his inten-
tion if the people choose him for sheriff, to
occupy the jail himself.
We devote large portion of our space,
this week, to the discussion of political mat
ters. Presidential election occurs but once
in four years, and we feel called upon to do
what we can for the success of the republ-
can cause. We promise our readers that the
other departments of our paper shall be made
better and more interesting in the future.
Notwithstanding the snow storm of Thurs
day last, the republican meeting at Hartford
was q success Messrs. Luce and Burrows
addressed large audience in Reynolds hall.
Mr. Luce was the principal speaker and de-
livered an excellent address. The young
ladies and gentlemen from Lawrence are de-
serving of much credit for their attendance,
in spite of the inclement weather. The
Hartford cornet band and Paw Paw cam
paign glee club furnished the music
BY vote of Paw Paw Grange at its last
session the following subjects were made
special order for discussion on Friday even
ing, Oct 3lst, when it is hoped there will be
full attendance of the members: "Shan we
vote for the proposed constitutional amend
ments fixing the salary of members of the
legislature at 800 for each regular session
and 800 for an extra session, and prohibit
ing the use of free passes on any railroad
during their term Of Officer" Also, "Can a
patron honestly vote for q man for Office who
has procured his nomination 10y dishonest
means?"
The sad intelligence hes reached us from
Duluth Mimi, of the sudden death from
heart disease of Mrs. Minnie CulIyford, nee
Culver, second daughter of Col. j. B. and
Sarah Woodman Culver, formerly of this
place. She spent part of the summer of
1883 with her many warm friends and rela-
tives in this place and vicinity; going back
to her northern home, she left none but
pleasant memories with US. She was mar
ried last December, to Thos. Cullyford of
Duluth Lovely, and beloved, we had hoped
for her long and happy life. But Gods
ways are not our ways, and one more link is
added to the chain that draws our hearts and
our hopes towards the home where partings
and tears are unknown. E. III. b.
r. w. Vaughn, fusion candidate for regis
ter of deeds, is circulating handbill through
out the county pledging himself that, if
elected to the Office of register of deeds, the
practice of buying and selling tax.titles in
the county offices shall be stopped. As the
only county Office where such practice pre-
walls is the Office of county treasurer, in
which such sales are made pursuant to law,
it is difficult to see what control Mr.. Vaughn
could exercise over the matter, even if elect
ed, which he certainly will not be. IF he
means by his circular to cast any reflections
on the way the Office has been managed by
the present efficient register, Mr.. s. p. Will
son, he reckons without his host. Mr.. w.
has neither bought nor sold a tax-title dur
ing his term Of Office, although he would
have the same right to do so as any other
citizen would have. The people know Mr..
w. to be q capable, gentlemanly official, and
will see that he is returned for another two
years. The saving clause, eff elected" was
very judiciously used by the fusion candi-
date.
