THE OLD AND THE NEW.


 The common purpose Of parties is to array themselves together in par " action, and we hear it around that the Republicans are mooting that question among themselves as 10 a whole or a partial ticket in this county.
 When political contests are made it is usually with the hope that there is probability of success, for both of the contestants, but just how the Republicans can expect to succeed in this county is beyond our ken. In saying this We are not strictly playing election machinery to the front, but higher and better facts, though they are undoubted facts.
 When the Republicans were in power in this county, their selfish leaders, commanding the absolute following of the ignorant and vicious of their party, never had any view of township or county management. But spells were their headlight, and as a necessary consequence of that interruptions and greedy use of public affairs, we had no progress, but all the values of organic ad- yancement were repressed. The better class of Republicans became involved in this plan, or at least, were powerless to repress it, and few public improvements were ef- fected, and those which were was with view of killing two birds with one accommodating the pub lie and helping out some bet con- tractor who stood in" with the ad- ministration-and thus we paid

BICYCLES FREE
To Boys and Girls Who Will Get Subscribers to the Daily and
 Semi Weekly Graphic.

The school season has about closed. and books will soon be dis placed in the mind of every boy and girl by sports and amusements. There is nothing so popular at the present day as bicycles. and nothing so coveted by the young of both sexes. Most children, however, cannot afford the luxury Of wheel owing to their great cost. In order, therefore, to give everyone an oppor- tunfty of securing a good bicycle the GRAPHIC has decided to make the following offers:
 To every boy or girl who secures fifty subscribers to the Daily GRAPHIC for a period of two months or fifty subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC for a period of one year each, will be given $40 De fianee bicycle.
 To every person securing sixty two-month subscribers to the Daily or sixty yearly subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given q $50 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing seventy two-month subscribers to the Daily or seventy yearly subscribers to the Semi-Weekly GRAPHIC win be given q S60 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing eighty five two-month subscribers to the Daily or eighty-fve yearly subscrih- CTS to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given q $75 Defiance bicycle.
 It is not necessary that the whole number be made up of subscribers to the same paper, but it may be com posed of part Daily and part Semi Weekly subscriptions.
 The above offers apply only to new subscribers or to parties taking neither the Daily nor Semi Weekly GRAPHIC at the present time-May 24 The subscription price-65 cents d month for the Daily and Sl.50 a year for the Semi mi-Weekly-must accompany every name, else credit will not be given the solicitor. In the event three or four month subscriptions to the Daily are secured, a corresponding decrease in the number required win be allowed, but no person will be permitted ta subscribe for q longer period than four months to the Daily or one year to the Weekly. One canvasser can transfer his list to the credit If another should he fail to get the required number to get a bicycle.
 Defiance bicycles are manufactured and guaranteed by the Monarch Cycle Mig. Co., of Chicago, and are made of the same material used in Sl00 wheels. They are, therefore, lar superior to most cheap bicycles. The $40 and S50 wheels are for boys and girls and the S60 and S70 wheels for adults. Catalogues containing q detailed description of each machine and blanks for canvassing may be had free at the GRAPHIC Gffiee.
 Now is the chance for industrious boys and girls to get bicycles for q little effort, and the sooner they get to work the easier will it be to secure the required number of sub scribers. Who will be the first one to get n wheel2
