REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION


Permit me in conclusion to say that
have of late been reminded by some of
my former political friends that had
not been so active against the gamblers
and other certain forms of infractions Of
the law which came under my notice as
Sheriff, I might today be considered as
yet in the politics of the machine. Fer
haps this explains some of the enmity
that certain of the Republican (would-be)
leaders have expressed towards me. If
the consciousness of having performed
my duty as Sheriff remains with me, as
it has and ever win do, then 1 shall never
regret the course 1 pursued while Sher-

Germain, at Zurich, Switzerland, in a
report to the State Department, says
that Swiss imports from America show
an increase in wheat, woods, agricul-

in raw cotton, leather, lard and fresh
fish.
The Consul mentions the decrease in
the exports of silk to the United States

season, but also to the steadily increas-
ing competition of the American silk in

IVORY IMPORTATION INCREASED

WASHINGTON. Oct. IA, 1871. s.
Consul Smyth ct Cartagena, in a report
to the State Department, says that as a
result of the new United States tariff a
most notable increase has followed in the
shipment of ivory nuts from that port to
the United States.
The new tariff on vegetable ivory but
tons has caused the crude article to be
shipped to the United States instead of to
Europe where 1t was formerly largely
manufactured into buttons.

Tho story from Charleston that Judge
Jonn Jay Jacson will probably retire
from the federal bench before the expira-
+Eon of President Cleveland's term and
that Governor MacCorkle will probably
be appointed to succeed him, needs to be
vouched for before it will be believed.
Tha reference to Judge Jackson may
have some basis, as the judge is getting
well up in years and It Is but natural
that he should feel desire to rest, after
a third of u century Of service to his
country, but the speculation regarding
Governor Maccorkle as possible sue
cessor will be taken with salt.
Governor MacCorkle, whatever may be
his private views on the currency ques-
iIon, allied himself with the enemies of
the national administration in the late
campaign and aided and allotted the
cause Of Mr.. Bryan and free silver. It
has been observed of late that President
Cleveland, in filling vacancies in high
positions, isn't looking in that direction,
but keeps his eye steadily the other way.
Rewards are going to those who stood by
him and held up his hands in the fight

CorRle. ana with the very kindcst regard

A number of prominent farmers of the
state met at Charleston yesterday and
formed an organization called the Con-
tlnental Grange. Col. r s. Carr was
elected master.
We are truly glad to note that our emil
nent agricultural friend, Col. Carr, has
organized with his fellow-farmers for
the relief OF those who follow this most
worthy vocation. Let trusts and mono
poles and middlemen take warning, for
their day of fleeing the farmer IS over.
Let the earth prepare to yield her in
crease as she never yielded before. Let
fowl and flesh flourish and fatten foT the
earliest market.
In this connection we wish to state a
few facts concerning the colonels ability
as a farmer: He does know the difference
between a buclSing deer and bucklnS
ram; he has had experience with both.
He has never, never shot domestic ducks
by mistake for wild turkeys He can
distinguish at a glance the difference be-
tween Il moving machine and hay
baler And he knows exactly what sort
of straw to plant in order to secure the
finest ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Re-

There Is some balm in Gilcad. Mr..
Bryan can be thankful he was not elect
ed, for all these bank failures would have
been blamed oil him and he would have
been discredited before he was inaugur-
ated.- Shepherdstown Register.
The above is the general expression OF
Bryanite newspapers. 1t is an acnowl-
edgment that the bank failures would
have come all the same. MismanaSe-
mcnt or dishonesty win break any bank
in the world Successful thievery will
wreck the best of business houses. Those
organizes that charge bank failures to
the result of the election overlook the
fact that they advocated currency syS-
tenn that would collapse every bank in
the country and with the banks every
thing else would have had its fall.-Nir-

UNIQUE CELEBRATION
AZ the Only IilestiOn Precinct that was
Carried by Palmer and Baeknsr.


Carried by Palmer and Baekner.
Springfield Republican: The Palmer
and Buckner Christmas celebration al
Dudley, Kan, Is reported to have been
a marked success. That town is noted
as having been the only town or cleo
ton precinct in the wide land carried
by the gold Democratic ticket last No
yember. It contains eleven voters, OF
whom six, or q majority OF one cast
ballots for Palmer and BuclIner cleo
tors. When General Buckner heard OF
this he sent on to the town clerk a two
gallon jug of rare old Kentucky wills
key and $50 in money to pay for
Christmas celebration. The clerk was
instructed to turn over the big jug and
money to the sound-money Democrats,
but, having in mind the recognized
character of Democrats, sound money
as we'll as silver, and considering the
laws and morals of Kansas, the clerk
left the whislSey In CAKE of Mrs. Samuel
Acres and Mrs. George Hanthorn. The
two women kept hold OF the jug, and
proceeded TO organize the celebration.
The sound-money Democrats invited
the other five voters and their famil-
les, and the whole population OF about
fifty men, women and children partlci-
pated The entertainment was held in
the school house, and consisted OF a
Christmas tree, feast and dance, the $50
having been used to buy food and
presents for the children. Mrs. Acres
and Mrs. HAWTHORN" the report says,
had charge Of the liquid refresh
ments, consisting Of straight whiskey,
eggnog and punch, Swing the men
enough TO make them feel good, and
no more. The celebration lasted from
carly in the morning until midnight.
Aud all the voters went home sober,
thanks to the feminine monopoly OF
the whisky jug, 1t was unanimously
voted that General Buckner was Just
their kind of man, and they hoped he
would run for the vice presidency ev-
cry year. The prohibition government
OF Kansas does not yet appear to have
taken cogniZance of the successful run
of General Buckner's jug past the
states rum blockade.

membered that the Reyiew predicted
more than a year ago that Mr. Wilson
would not return TO West Virginia, but
would go to New York. 1t is well that
he should, for the politics advocated by
him have been in the interest Of the peo-
pie OF New York, rather than for the

Atkinson. Big Vote.

The official returns on the West Viz
ginia state ticket TESTIFY to the great per
sonal popularity of the Rcpublican.can-
didatss, especially In the case of Mr., At
kinson. whose plurality 10 far ahead Of
that received by the next highest man on
the ticket, Mr. Ia Toilette. the auditor
eject Mr.. Atldnson's plurality Is 1856,
which is 1857 in excess OF that received
by ArcKiniey ana 2.973 ahead of Mr.. Ia
rFollsttes. It's very evident that Mr..
Atkinson was much stronger than mis-
party vote and that great many DEM
ucrats regarded him as better man for
governor than their own candidate, or at
ieast that they preferred him over Mr..
Watts.
In comparing the vote received by the
state ticket with that cast for the ma
tIoral ticket 1t should be remembered
that there was II fusion of the Popullsts
and Democrats on presidential electors,
True there was one attempted on the
state ticket. but the returns show that a
very considerable number of Populists
refused to be delivered, l,l99 of them vot-
ing for Fitzgerald in spite of his with
drawal, and there is reason to believe
.Irnt many more contented themselves
with scratching the name Of Watts from
the Democratic ballot.
The handsome vote received by Mr..
Atkinson in excess Of all others Is con-
vinclng evidence of his extraordinary
strength as a candidate before the poo
pie and is as gratifying to his friends as
Il doubtless IS TO him.
