OEFICIAL VOTE-NOV. 1880.

The attempts by the radicals to bulldoze didn’t pan out to any extent Mr”. Wyatt, mother of Willis Wyatt, of Union township, died Friday evening last. Wc have been considerably indisposed the past two weeks from a sore hand. Hope to be all right next week. Simon P. and Thomas Thompson staited Tuesday evcnfrg to join their wives who are visiting friends in Ohio, Notwithstanding defeat has again overtaken us, the Democratic party is a power in the land and will not down. The case against Michael Burke, on charge of illegal voting, turned out no case at all. Babcock, prosecutor; Douthit and Boroughs for defense.— Harding, Justice. There is some talk of dancing school being organized here this winter. Chas. Stcwrt, of Renssel aer, is to be chief cook and bottle washer es the enterprise.—Remington Reporter. Elza I. Phillips, Esq., of this place, has entered the law school at Ann Arbor, Michigan, from which we hope he may graduate with the highest honors and realize the fond wish' 8 of hie friends. The New York World says: “A Republican repeater of this city was yesterday boasting at the Republican headquarters that he took fifty men te Indiana and succeeded in casting 1,25') votes for the ticket." Michigan City Dispatch: M. F* Chilcote, a pt eminent lawyer of Rensselaer, was in 'he city yesterday, accompanied by Mr, E. I. Phillips, of the same town. M•. Phillips was on his way to Ann Arbor to take a Ojme of law lecture. Some people are foolish enough to believe that the Democratic party will disband. Such talk not only insults common sense, but is an intimation that virtue, truth, patriotism and love of Constitutional liberty have departed and that Democrats have all become Republicans.

•Mem. for the News: New York November 4. Government bonds weak and lower. Railroad bonds weak and lower. State securities decline !. Let us have a business men’s meeting called immediately. Garfield’s election is having a terrible effect on bonds and stocks. —lndianapolis Sentinel. - ■ ■ ■ Speaking of the army of office holders and employes of the Government we do not usually iuclude the postoffice force, which alone numbers about 110,000. The annual report of the appointment division of the Postofflce Department at Wash ingt on shows the nnmber of post, offices in operation June last to be 42,989, an increase of 2.134 during the year. Besides the nearly 43,000 postmasters theie are 17,490 persons throughout the the country who netform service upon the authorization of the Postmastes General. Besides these there are at isast 50,000 persons actidg as clerks in third and fourth class postoflfices who look for their employment and compensation directly to local authority. Therefore, there are now not less than I'o,ooo persons directly connected with our portal service. Some very interesting spectacles are likely to be presented in the Sen ate of the United States during Arthur’s term of office as Vice President, among which maybe mentioned the discussion of “a Dill relieving Chester A. Arthur from the defalcaoccurred .in his office while he was Collector of New York? Did not Senator Conkling introduce s:ich a bill into the senate some time ago? Has that bill ever passed the House? May not that bill be returned to the Senate? Is a public officer who was turned out of office by the Hayes Administration, and whose official accounts to this day remain unaudited and unsettled a fit man to be President of the United States Senate?” Manifestly, such a “public officer” is not a “fit man to be President of the United State! Senate.” But we conclude there is no esaape from the deep disgrace. Something to Remember.—We do not desire to disturb the harmony of the occasion, but we cannot refrain from inviting the attention of the “business men ’ who have contributed to the success in 1880 of a Presidential candidate whom none of them would like to put at the head of a bankihg-house to the interesting circumstance that in October, 1872, a great Company of “business men” in New York united with Mr. Henry Clews and the house of Jay Cooke & Co. in signing a circular to the effect that “the general welfare of the country, the interests of its com. merce and trade, and the consequent stability of its public securities would be best promoted by the re election of General Grant to the office of President of the United States.” In Oo tober, 1873, just one year afterwards, a general business panic swept jver the country, and the houses most conspicuous in promoting this circular did not emerge from that panic in a condition of absolute solvency —Now York World.
