No Good conductors of Blaine Electric
In the Lower Emo.


In the Lower Emo.
Although, according to Blaine organs,
the Republican candinate is having daily
audiences in Ohio, equal to ono third OF
the voting population of the state, yet the
Blaine fever does not seem to spread in
our end.
A few Of our more enthusiastic Repub-
licans are making desperate efforts to get
mp some enthusiasm and every succeeding
effort falls iiatter than its predecessor.
About week ago large and SNOWY
postera announced grand Republican
rally ut Union hotel, in Drumore, and four
speakers were announced TO address the
populace. When the time came the
speakers were ali on hand, bnt the popu
laco to the number Of fifty four Kspubli
cans only turned out, just thirteen and a
half to each speaker. Last Tuesday even.
ing the electric current struck Oxford,
Chester county, and a grand torach light
parade with speakers from Philadelphia
were announced.
We were not there. but have the author.
ity Of disgusted Republican that was,
that the parade was 'composed Of thir-
teen niggers and eleven boys" and the
whole meeting did not contain but 65
voters in the hall. But the climax was
reached at Kirkwood Thursday evening,
I'd inst. A Republican club meeting was
to be held to be addressed by two good
speakers from Oxford, ono OF them an
attorney. The speakers came duly TO
hand, and were greeted by an enthusiastic
crowd of some three Republicans and
one Of them was Butler man. The
speakers did not spout, and the two
straight outs and half breed did not treat,
and 1t seemed regular Blaine funeral, no
from pure pity our genial Democratic host
threw in little electricity in the shape Of
few drinks, and the two Blaine men, and
tho two speakers and one Butler man do i.
parted, thoroughly electrified by the re-.
suit Of Blaine's magnetism in the lower
end.

TIE Front Deor Nuisance.


There are some evils that cannot be
cured and must therefore be endured.
For Instance, no one loses his temper
long over bad pavements and dusty
roads. nor allows his angry passions to
riss when confronted by the knowledge
that there are brutes on the municipal
police force. These are Ills to which all
flesh Ia heir, and he who fights them
does but kick against stone wall. But
there is an evil against which house.
keepers have protested time whereof the
memory of man runneth not to.the con-
trary. and all to no purpose. 1t is the
front door nuisance. Sometimes he
comes in the shape Of book agent, with
insinuating address and smile,ess smile.
He asks for the lady Of the house and
his air IL 90 ChesterGeldian that the
servant who answers the bell, summons
her mistress with all convenient haste,
requesting the stranger TO seat himself
In the best chair In the parlor. Once
within the fortress and the mistress of
tho household inveigled down stairs, 1t is
nearly a. hard to dislodge him as to
drive OF the seven year lOcusts.
Then again he appears in the Ruise of
gentlemanly soap vender, who has left
. package Of his wares and will call
again. Or he will insist upon q personal
interview with the mistress upon q mat
ter Of the most extreme importance that
win only occupy an infinitesimally small
portion Of Q second. Sometimes the
front door nuisance takes the form of a
trinity dressed female who is selling q
book on subscriptions, and whoss ap-
peArance for all the world betokens her
lady caller. Again she is neat but
poor woman who needs only q little
money TO make up her rent, her huband
being incapacitated by illness. Then
there u the man who wants to buy cast
Oh clothing. the huckster with his wares,
the vender Of insect powder and the rag
man. All feel in duty bound to pull
the bell Of each house that they have set
apart for their prey. and to demand a
personal interview with the mistress
thereof. Tho nuisance has assumed
such gigantic proportions that legisla-
tive interference cannot much longer he
avoided.

audience Of about one hundred people.

main play was Crushed, or Whose Are
They" II is a rattling farcical piece in
three acts, and Is such a medley of &c
centrioity that it is almost impossible for
any one to describe it. Mr.. Sothern cor.
tainly demonstrated that he possessed
great ability as an eccentric comedian and
his acting made a hit. His company
was strong throughout and gave satisfac.
tion to tho few who witnessed the play.

evening was the graceful fancy skating OF
Miss Ella Stetson, of Boston, Mass, who

States. She appears again this evening.
Charlie Watt, one Of the instructors at
the rink, has won " golden opinions from
all sorts OF people" BY reason OF tho caro-
ful attention he bestows upon ladies and
children just beginning to skate. While
others are apt to seek the best skaters for

patience, -plOds along with the now re-.
cruits, and has thus been enabled TO set
