PERHAPS the President the construes
recent elections as support ofhis admin
istration. But it don't look that way to
man up tree.
Rev. ID. l.. MOODY has been holding
services i'm Wheeling this week. He
will have his hands full if he attempts
TO convert the Wheelingites.
Mr.. SrLER. the prohibition candidate
for Congress, received but one vote IN
this county. We don't suppose any
body else knew he was running.
The Democracy of Baltimore can be
truly called rock ribbed. A Democratic
eity council was elected in that place
last week by ten thousand majority.
PRINCE ALEXANDER Of Bulgaria has
bought farm and gone into the agri-
cultural business. We hope he will be
more successful at farming than he was
at ruling a kingdom.
The man who didn't take enough in
terest i'm the election to vote is now
saying Il told you So" He knew all
about ii, and could tell just how things
were going to turn out.
At Forest Green, Mo-. colored
woman locked her three children ana
two others in her house and went to
church. The house took fire from a
lamp, and four children were burned to
death.
THE President sent his check for
$500 to the New York campaign COM
mittee. We infer from this that he does
not object TO Democrats contributing
money-though they must not make
speeches-for the benefit of their party.
The parents who go away from home
and leave their children locked up in
the house have been heard from numer-
ously in the past couple of weeks. AS
usual, they have found a burned home
and cremated babies when they re-
turned.
The month of the statue OF Liberty
Enlightening the World is three feet
wide. Fortunately, she cannot talk.
But just imagine some poor husband
being n-pecked by Liberty, or taking
his curtain lecture when he came home
late from the lodge.
For the benefit of the inquiring ones
we will say that our rooster is sick with
cerebro spinal meningitis, or something
like il. No one regrets more than we
DO that he cannot appear before the
public to-day. Circumstances over
which we have no control prevent it.
THERE were few straight Republican
tickets voted here on Tuesday. They
were nesrly all crooked. 1t was even
thought necessary to put a Democratic
head on a Republican ticket, endeavor-
ing in that way to make it 60 down.
But it was not swallowed to any great
extent.
Mr.. HAYES, who once occupied the
Presidential chair, was in New York re-
Gently and was interviewed. He said
he did not think it was necessary for
this country to build war ships or erect
Notifications. AS Mr.. Hayes mind is
fully taken up with the subject of rails
ing hens, his opinions on craftsmanship
are not considered valuable.
Mr.. BLAINE has been very indus
triously explaining how the negro
voters in the South are bull-dozed by
the Democrats, but he has not yet re-
ferred to the systematic and uncrupu-
lous manner i'm which the Northern
mill-owners and employers make their
workmen vote to suit them-discharge
and starvation being the alternative.
LAST week three hundred aud fifty
Mormon converts landed in Philadel.
phia. They were from Europe and
were on their way to Utah. 1t is easier
to remedy the evils Of Mormonism by
the passage of law preventing such
immigration than is is by making laws
