The election news had bad influence
upon Aumsvilie people. 1t made the
Republicans SO happy that they made
considerable noise, and that made the
poor defeated POpulists aud Democrats
feel badly. AS for my part l fesl sorry
for them, not one grain of comfort from
any part of the United States. The
Republicans acted cruelty. sour Bill"
should have been satisfied with 10 or
l5, 900 msjority. But no, he must get
all the votes. In Iowa, not being salts
lied with beating the man who had
neen governor for two terms, Jackson
must ape mckinley" and run Jap a
plurality OF 80, 900 and the governor sick
ia bed at that. 1t is no wonder that
they didn't dare tell him of the result.
Aud old Pennsylvania piled up her
hundred thousand, but worse than all
old PopuIist Kansas and Nebraska, the
Ueiting ground and standard bearers of
the new party, put its foot upon its
isms, and credit destroying principles,

straight, nor strike iron twice in the
same place. He and his partner were

store we saw the first "woe" on pla-
card, l6 pounds of sugar for q dollar.
While at Turner last week we wit
messed the operation Of q new "sour
krautp cutter. 1t worked like a charm
cutting the cabbage evenly and quick
ly. DIR. Ransom, Wess Smith and
several others tried to eat the cabbage
as soon as cut, but got stalled on the
first handful. DR.. Ransom left with
hand and mouth full and stranger
passing, having heard of the kraut cut
ter, asked if this was the machine,
pointing to the doctor. About this
time the owner of the cabbage arrived
and when he saw his cabbage sticking
out of his neighbors' mouths, in alarm,
he said, "Have got to feed you all the
cabbage" He then looked at the small
pile of cabbage left aud at his large bar
rel.
