OCRACY.


CRY OF New CASTLE, Oct. 9th, rs.
Politically this city is largely Democratic
at no time since the war have the Repub]i-
cans been able to elect any officer for even
the lowest position; and in fact ever since
the dissolution of the old Whig party, lam
informed the Democracy has been in the az
cendant. Previous to and during part Of
the war, they controlled affairs, and elected
their ticket by fair majorities. Even the en-
franchising OF the colored people failing to
put them in the minority, hut on the con-
trary, seeming to SO disgust the white Re-
rrt,icans as to drive them from the ranks.
Thus it has always been, so that they could
never elect any ticket they made. They
have however contrived at times to get
some Of they party into power, aud have for
a number of years when tie time would
come around to choose town officers, invari-
ably tried the compromise dodge, that IL


induce the Democrats to form ticket with
gentlemen Of both parties on them. This
game has been successful sometimes, but
not often, and in fact 1t has always been
the hardest kind of work to induce the bone
and sinew of the Democrat party here to
vote for, even the mcst moderate and con-
servative Republican. Some years ago,
the Democrats thinking it best not
to bring politics into town
election where there were no issues,
and there being gentlemen of the Repubh-
can party here who would make good Town
Commissioners and would faithfully per-
form their duties as such, or in any other
Office, approached some of the leading Re-
publicans with view to forming a compro-
mise ticket. They were met in an appare mt
kindly spirit and, think, it was partly, if
not wholly, decided to form but one ticket,
but, when the election came off, a ticket
composed entirely Of Republicans with
flaming flag and the inscription of "No CON-
promise with traitors" was put in the field,
and every effort made to secure its election,
but, of course, without effect. This action
SO disguised the Democrats that they never
after attempted the compromise business.
although they have, at times, permitted the
name of one Republican to be placed on the
ticket. Last spring, however, the mixed
ticket was tried again, but again without
success, and am of the opinion that from
this out no Republican will ever hold even
the lowest office in this city. During the
warthe few Republicans that were here,wer
Of the most violent type and appeared little
less bloodthirsty than savages, and would,
am informed ,stoop to any thing that would
get their neighbors and former friends, who
happened to disagree with them in political
matters, into trouble, and it is a remarkable
fact, that, nowadays, these same prescribed
and hunted Democrats will even assist In
getting their former inveterate enemies into
Office. In other words, politically, New
Castle presents the unexpected spectacle Of
the lion and the lamb lying down together,
and the millennium not yet come.

CANADA is becoming alarmed because the
last gunboat on Lake Erie has been offered
forlale. Our Northern neighbors are in a
constant shiver, fearing that the United
States will some day invade Canada, and
that the lakes will be found undefended. As
there is not the least ground for apprehend-
ing an invasion Canada does quite as well to
sell her gunboats as to let them rot in harbor.

In attempting to gain partisan advantage
the Democratic legislature of Ohio hassmade
an extraordinary blunder. In Toledo the
board of aldermen is Democratic and the
common council Republican. The Demo-
Gratis desired to get rid of the lower board in
order that they might confer special powers
in the matter of control of the police, of the
water works, and other administrative de-
partments which gave opportunity for big
jobs. They went to the legislature, and the
legislature, being Democratic, was of course
ready to do the dirty business. So an old
clause in the municipal code was revived
providing that 1.-THE legislative authority of
all the cities shall be vested in council con-
sisting of two members from each of the
wards" But to their horror the Democrats
discovered, when too late, that the clause
abolished the Democratic council in Cincin-
natl; and worse still, that special excep-
tion was made of Toledo, so that, while other
cities were to have one body, Toledo was to
have two. The result of the trickery prac-
tised has been to abolish the Democratic
council of Cincinnati and to retain the Re
publican council OF Toledo, and the tricksters
are very mad

STOREY of the Chicago Times has been re-
leased from prison on telegraphic order
from the chief justice of the Supreme Court
of Illinois. The order was made out on the
strength of an unpublished ruling. which al
lows the right of appeal in such cases. The
judge Of sthe Criminal Court refused to recog-
nize the ruling as it had not been published.
but the chief justice took different view of
the case and allowed Storey to give bonds.
The entire case will be disposed of in the
September term of the Supreme Court, when
precedent will be established. The release
of Storey is generally considered as extra jul
dicial, and 1t is thought the chief justice has
exceeded his authority.

For several years the people of Hillsbcro,


and those along the line of the proposed


improvement, have had their attention di-


rected to the desirability of finishing the
gap now existing between the end of the
Centerield turnpike and some point on the
Samantha & Leesburg pike. The construc-
ton of a little more than four miles of GOOD
turnpike, over an almost level route, would
open up to Hillsboro one of the richest
farming sections of Highland county. ana
furnish to the residents of the country iff
the vicinity, and west of Centerfeld, easy
access to the markets and other privileges
of their county town.


Those living along the gap have secured
q sufficient number of names TO a petition
for its improvement, under what is known
as the zone mile road law, and have filed
the same. The provisions of this law and
the location of the roads in the vicinity of
the gap are such, however, as to cause
loss of power to tax certain portion of
land which would otherwise be very pro-
ductive of funds for the work. The owners
of the lands have in several cases offered to
contribute voluntarily towards the enter
prise, and those who are to be assessed have
expressed willingness to pay all that the
law allows to be put upon them for such a
purpose.


Still it is thought that further assistance
will be needed, and some of the citizens of
our town have been discussing the pro-
priety of raising contribution to that end
1t is readily entered into by all who have
been spoken to SO far, and no doubt large
contribution can be raised in our town if
the subscription papers are properly guard
ed in its provisions, and sufficiently circu-
lated among our business men.


A meeting has been suggested, and will
probably be held during the present week,
to secure united and effective action in the
matter and it ID hoped that full attend
ance of those interested in the prosperity of
our town will be secured and the enter
prise pursued to completion as rapidly as
possible.


1t is not necessary for us to urge upon our
citizens the Importance of good roads lead
ing to our town, and we are confident that
several half finished pixies will be completed,
and some new roads constructed, before the
live men of Hillsboro will give up their eff
forts to increase their trade and benefit the

There is no disease which causes such acute pair
