WE do wish we had bought that roos-
ter.
IT looks as though the Democratic
party has come to stay.
In Philadelphia the Republicans went
the whole hog-tail, bristles and all.
The grand old party has the consola-
ton Of knowing that it still has hrm
grip on Iowa.
ONLY about one more election is
needed, and then we'll have the United
States Senate, too.
AFTER all, it may be that Mr.. Cleve-
land understands his business better
than his criticizers.
The next time John Sherman aud
Foraker go TO Virginia to win an cleo
ton they will stay at home.
FoRAKER's and Sherman's speeches
may tickle the Ohio palate, but they
don't 90 down in Virginia.
SHERMAN said he loved Virginia. 1t
don't seem as though Virginia reeipro-
Gates the attachment very passionately.
The Philadelphia Times thinks that
Malone should crawl into a hole and
then get John 5. Wise to throw the hole
away.
If only few more Ohio speakers had
been imported into Virginia there is no
telling how big the Democratic major
ity would have been.
New Englanders are nothing If not
thrifty. A dying man iii Massachusetts
directs that his body is to be burned
and used as fertilizer on his farm.
The man who will patent some inven-
ton that will allow betters on both
sides to win will have high place in
the hearts of the American people.
ACCORDING to Georgia man the
world will come to an end in 1882. We
don't believe Mr.. Mason will have time
enough to get his debt scheme through
if this be true.
1T is said that the President has a
hard time finding suitable persons for
Civil Service Commissioners. 1t would
be no great loss if he allows the places
to be untitled for awhile.
WIN. f. SMITH, of New York, has been
appointed Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury in the place Of Cbas. E. Coon,
resigned, to take effect November 10th.
Mr.. Smith is a Democrat o! the most APP
proved kind.
FERDINAND WARD, the "Napoleon of
Finance" has met his Waterloo. In
New York last week he was sentenced
to ten years at hard labor in the Sing
Sing penitentiary. If Mr.. Ward had
gotten Justice he would have been sent
up for about million years.
JOHN MCCULLOUGH, the tragedlan,
who has been in such all extremely bad
state of health, both mentally and ply
sically, is at his home in Philadelphia,
and his physicians say that he is greatly
improved. 1t is thought that he may
not only recover his health, but that his
mind may also be restored.
AT Colored Methodist Conference
recently held in Washington, Strasburg
and Petersburg were two places put In
nomination for holding the next meet
ing. 1t was stated that Strasburg need
ed the conference and a revival of re-
lieion the most, but that chickens and
other good things would be provided
most abundantly in Petersburg. When
the vote was taken there was very
large majority in favor of Petersburg.
The Washington correspondent of
the Wheeling Intelligencer has the fol-
lowing to say of the effective work
which has been done by our efficient
member of Congress, Hon VIM. l.. Will
son:
OF the $50 Democrats who have been
reformed into postoffices since the
fourth of March, in West Virginia, over
seventy owe their appointments to Mr..
Wilson. To his credit be it said, that
so far as your CORES pondent has any
knowledge, he has acted reasonably
fair with Republicans. 1t does not APP
pear in single instance that he has
"trumpej up" charges upon which to
