He is well qualified for the duties of the office, and will conduct its affairs satisfactorily. There will be seven eclipses this year—three of the sin, two of the moon, and two of the radical party - once next Tuesday, and once in vemberLook out for Spurious Tickets! We have very good reason to believe they will be scattered broadcast thro’out the county! Democrats,’we lepeat,—“Be on your guard!!” For Commissioner—James T. Randle is the man you want there.

Down in Daviess county a Democrat “sold” himself to the opposition for SSO and half an hour afterward deposited the money in the Treasury o." the Hancock and English Club. Served ’em right. For representative in the Legislature, vote for Burnham. He is honest, capable, and not a trickster and a sham. If elected he will seek to advance the interests of the people and not those of rings and cliques. Read your ballot carefully before you present it! See that every name is on it—under its proper heading and correctly spelt. You cannot be too cautious in this particular. The enemy will regorr to all sorts of tricks to thwart the will of the people. The cry of “stop thief,” raised by the ladicals is done with a viow to cover np their own tracks. Money has already passed from certain members of that party into the pocets of voters for the delivery of thoir ballots in accordance therewith next Tuesday, They are known and spotted."

A rampant crow, or Bird of some species, claiming to hail from the “Sunny South,” was” imported to Ren. selaer Monday last. This hireling of the National radical committee, who seems to have been in their employ for some time as a sort of sensation and yarn manufacturer, delivered his Munchausenisms to an audience which has ever since been looking mound fcr one who can beat his stoiies. They wondered at the cowardice of the 500 radicals in one precinct whom he said were intimidat'd and prevented casting their votes by 51 Democfats. Unwilling to concede such cowaidice in their party, his radical heaters concluded it was a lie. After hearing his statemen t that he was the only brave man within a ra" dius of fifty miles who dared own a Union flag, they wondered that Grant should give currency to the lie(?) that the stars and stripes floated ail over the South, and the eyes of tlTe Southern people were as accustomed to it were those of the North. Rut whpn he stated that he held a claim of $7.0(10 for cotton, which he could get in case of Hancock’s election, they wondered why he should oppose him, with such a claim at stake. They finally concluded that his claim was iraadulent and he was a fraud.
