The song of the average radical I ostmaster now is: “HurrahfotPresident Hayes!” If Calkins’ postmaster thinks his His palaver of Burt Hutson will be accepted by that gentleman as sin < ere, he will soon discover his mistake. Read the speech of Mr. Voorhees <>a fourth page of to» day’s Sentinel.— •. .impure it with the partizan clap--1 ip of the Fraud, called a veto mesgo. Fraud Hayes has vetoed the army .•i,nropriation bill. Let Congress -taud flrm by their action, and a parizu.i fraud will Had it necess rj to ;t cep the situation. . What has the retention or dismissal <■ Prof. Allen to do with the election i ’<xt Monday? “Our Simon” will cgd>l that, to suit himself until the Democracy secures a majority of the ehool Board. Vi r. Smoot acts as though he tho’t ic mid a mortgage, judgment, dr some i. r lien or legal process on the democracy and other inhabitants of .i msselaer, which can never be satis"i’d except by electing him to office ” Udyes’ Consul and Calkins’ postmast’ r. Oh, Horace! The old proverb of ■ he pot calling the kettle black.” The Lewistown (Pa.) True Democ: it says: “In a recent interview with a newspaper reporter, Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks declared he would not -gain accept the second place on a Presidential ticket. For our part, we •hould greatly prefer to see him oc- ■ upying the first place. An abler, i xter, or stronger candidate cannot be produced.” The small boy, whose deportm-nt <t school had always ranked 100 per cent, came home one day recently vith his standing reduced to 98. What have you been doing, my son?” «ked the mother. “Been doing,” replied the young hopeful, “b«en doing just ns I have all alpngonly the teacher caught me this time. Glad be did nt catch all my tricks, else deportment would have dropped to 48every time.” In the Union of yesterday is an article stating that when the Democratic Board of Trustees vacated their offices two years ago, that they left the Town SBOO in debt. Any person who is familiar with the flnanciul condition of our town at that time knows hat the statement is false. The fact is, the Democratic Board of Trustees vacated leaving S3OO iu the Town Treasury foi the Republican Board -o misappropriate. The author of the article In the Union is either a wilful liar or an ass,

Calkins ? postmaster says It was germane to the business for a radical Congress to attach measures to an appropriation bill providing for tbe employment of bayonets at the polls and jncroach “upon the constitutional rights of the head of the executive branch of the government” when Andrew Johnson wut President; but it is not germane for a Democratic Congress to append measures to an appropriation bill repealing the laws which sanction the use of bayonets at the polls. What an argument! In all probability W. G. Smoot will be the candidate of the Democrats and Independents at the r.ext election tor Marshal, not because of superior or exclusive, claims but. lor the manner in which he performed the duties of the offlcs in the past. Twice has he been elc< ted to the position, and as many times have t >e boards set up their judgment against the expressed will of the people. There is an opportunity now afforded the voters to have their way iu this mat ter, and they seem to have an luclnation in tha direction, whether Calkins’ postmaster likes it or not.
