STRONG KICK
Registered from Youngstown as to
Eighteenth Congressional Deals
at Dayton.

Republican politics in this congress
sional district has received another
stirring up, the cause of which shows
as an aftermath of the Republican
state convention. While the matter is
not very generally discussed by the
Republican press, yet the Youngstown
Telegram, organ of Mahoning county
Republicans, has this to say under the
caption of "Stark's Serious Blunder:" !"
1T is unfortunate that few poll
ticians should be permitted to place
Stark county in bad light before the
Republicans of this congressional dis
trict but the actions of these self
termed leaders at the state convention
will not be forgotten by the other
two counties of the district.
&c. c. Upham, late manager of the
congressional campaign of J. ]. Grant
and now full-fledged candidate for
attorney general, gave his pledge at
Columbus that Stark county would
join Coumbana in giving Candidate
Writ the solid vote of the district.
Columbiana kept faith but Stark cas-;
only half its vote for Writ.
In view of this betrayal can Mr.
Upham expect to secure the vote of
Mahoning county in support of his
candidacy for attorney general?"

HOW VARIOUS NATIONS SLEEP.
Wooden Neck-Rests Serve as Pillows
in Japan.


It is evidently custom that makes

their rest, says the Scrap Book. The

generation are little less than actual

The Anglo Saxon race, so far as it's

The Egyptians had a couch of a pc

In the tropics men sleep in ham
