The enterprising young gentlemen who have purchased the Bakery and Restaurant formerly owned by Jimmy Meehan have tnoroughly renovated and refited the place and have commenced in a manner that indicates business. Both of these gentlemen come well recommended. The Democratic party is each day of its existence gaining in strength as well as in wisdom. That party which commanded the suffrage of a majority of the legal voters in 1876, today is armed and fully equipped, not with instruments commonly kuoiyn as demagogues, nor articles o-f war. but with courage to show the people of the American Republic that a majority of her citizens must say whom they can trust at the head of her executive affairs. But should the Republican party whose integrity we'will not question on the account of its nonexistence, b* so fortunate as to command the number of votes necessary to the election of her ticket, we as * party will bow in humble submission to your dictates, and never ask for a reconsideration. We will not do as you in th© past have done, because ws know the result of such unconstitutional actions, because w* kno-w it adds stain to the history of our beloved and honored country, because we know that in framing the constitution those wise statesmen intended that a majority of American voters should control American election*.

For Tm Union. .Mrs. Anti Sayler, whose funeral was held from the M. E. church last Sunday afternoon, died at Rochester, Minn., on Wednesday, the 10th inst., of typhoid pneumonia. Her remains were brought here for interment with her husband and children in our Weston cemetery. Deceased was born in August, 1805, and was, therefore, in her seventy-fourth year. She was the wife of David Sayler, who, with his family, came from Ross couniy, Ohio, in 1848, and located at Rensselaer, where he died, in 1854. He built the Sayler block, now known as “Leopold’s Corner,” on Van Rensselaer and Washington streets. Their family comprised two sons and five daughters, and were well known, in Jasper county. Four of the daughters married here. The husband and father, one son, William, and two daughters, Mrs. Moss and Mrs. Hammond, are buried here, and now near them the mother. Of her many relatives still living we mention, as old settlers, Mr. Thos. Monnett, her brother, Messrs. Isaac Sayler, Micah Sayler and Henry Sayler. Besides these are a great number of remoter de, rees of kinship both in consanguinity and affinity. Mother Sayler has been a member of the M. E. church for more than sixty years last past. After the death of her husband the family went to Laporte, in this state. They leturned after about three years to Rensselaer, and again resided here several years. Since leaving Rensselaer she has resided first with her daughter, Mrs. Minor Thompson, at Effingham, 111., (who, it. will be remembered, was burned to death by a chemicnlexplosion several’yeurs since,) and since her death,- with her only surviving daughter, Mrs. Copp, at Rochester, Minn. Mrs. Copp and her hujband, Rev, William Copp, brought the remains to this place. Wherever deceased has been known she has been esteemed for her exemplary life, pure Christian character and true womanly virtues. Her religious convictions were very deep and her daily walk was in every way consistent with her Christian profession. Bhe lost her sight about eighteen months before she died but retained the faculties of mind perfectly to the last moment. She lived to good- ripe years in a life of purely unselfish work, and while all but one of her children, and most of her gi and children have gone before her, she is remembered and her death mourned by a very large circle of relatives and friends to whom she had endeared herself. * * *
