OHIO O. X.
The Buckeys State follows Maine and
Connecticut into the Republican
ranks.

The Buckeyes State follows Maine and
Connecticut into the Republican
ranks.
THE cry this year, by both demo.
cratic and republican leaders has been,
GAS goes Ohio so goes the Union"
Ohio has gone as she has been in the
habit of going i'm presidential years,
by a majority variously estimated at
from 1900 to 10000. In our opinion
this settles the question. AS some one
expressed it when the returns first
began coming in, 'This busts the
bachelor ftom Buffalo," The demo-
cratic managers declared that they
would "carry Ohio or die in the at
tempt" They have not carried Ohio.
As they have not been heard from
since the election, perhaps they have
really "died in the attempt" At any
rate their party has received its DEATH
blow for this year. The democrats are
on the dead run and from now on the
music of the campaign will be a wild
whoop of victory from the republicans
echoed by shrek of dismay and des-
pair from the routed and heart-broken
democracy. Hurrah for Ohio!

Two or three weeks ago some ques'
tons were put to George Amos
through the Interstate. With true
courtesy Mr.. Smith refused to altou
Mr.. Amos to reply to those questions
through the same paper. Some fur.
ther questions, bearing the ear marks
of John Gordon are also published in
this weeks issue of that organ. Mr..
Amos has already answered those
questions to the satisfaction of several
large audiences. Mr.. Fisher has also
answered them in two of Mr.. Gordon's
own meetings. We would quietly
warn Mr.. Gordon by-the-way, that
Others can ask questions as well as he.

The re-subs. have been pretty badly
ratified this week, all on account of q
remark thrown out by John Walters
He has been doing some work in Hum.
boldtand the other day he was accosted
by Nose Neal and Capt. Coffin who
wanted to know how Al Jones would
run up in lola. Mr.. Walters proceeded
to give them his opinion on the mat
ter, saying among other things that
the democrats of this town were by NO
means unit in favor of Mr.. Jones.
"Why in h didn't you tell us that
before we nominated him." cried the
valiant captain. And that is how ii
happened that at the next secret meet
ing of the Humboldt Re-submission
League, the main question under con-
sideration was whether or not Mr..
Jones should be held on the track or
withdrawn. The matter was thor
oughly canvassed and upon being put
to vote it was decided by majority
Of three, to allow Mr.. ]. to finish the
race. What falling off was there
my countrymen! But three weeks
ago the unanimous choice of "mass"
convention. Saved now, by but a bare
majority of three in the house of his
friends. We cannot forbear remark.
ing, however, that while it was a
mighty close shave, it leaves his hair
long to what it will be when the peo-
pie get at him i'm November.

the dog was followed by footsteps; they

branches, which cracked under the
welcome steps. The next instant a man
came and stood under the window, and
looked up at me. l perceived by his
dress that he was a villager, probably
taking short cut to his house. He
stood under the window; he seemed
terrified; perhaps he took me for the
ghost. He was not, however, all a
coward, for he spoke.

thief, but-mystery of mysteries-he
had disappeared.

that the young lady who was foolish
enough to sleep in tapestry chamber

vanished.
