Next Tuesday tlie Ohio election will be held, when, we hope, the “bloody-shirt” tvcieschers will be irretrievably beaten. The Massachusetts Democratic State Convention, held at Worcester, that State, Wednesday, plac d in nomination for Governor, Frederick 0.

Our neighbor gets after brother Moßeynolds roughshod, who, he says, “goes so far as to boastingly ah' his political opinions from the pulpit, itself.” We do not know v. 1 1 at lirother Mcß’s political views are, but incline to believe he is a prohibitionist It is evident he does not “boastingly air” Repub lican “opinions and practices from the pulpit, itself.” If he did, genii" George would have no condemnatory epistle for him. The Rochester Sentinel says that several Democrats have been given postotiices in F ilton county, and in other parts of the district, and ‘every man that has been appointed was min mended by Hon. T. J Wood. The few republicans who h ivo insisie 1 tint Mr. wood had no intlu* ice with the administration will soon bo force 1 to change their opinion.’ I’he republicans can never forgive Mr. Wood for defeating their DeMotte. * ——-• -«•*-•* The Indianapolis Sentinel is a progressive Democratic paper of nerve and ability, always foremost in the tight for Democracy and g od government and a terror to rings and monopolies in whatever form appearing. In our judgment the course of the Sentinel in the last rampaign, and the splendid management of its Blaine libel suit by Judge lurpie, in its square •stand/up tight therein, was the tun/ng point to our grand Demo, critic victory in Indiana, and it deserves the most hearty and liber-- -import of every Democrat in the State. P ospectus next week. Congressman Warner, of Ohio, was recently asked if he thought the Bland silver bill could be repealed without a substitute being provided therefor. Congressman A\ arner ieplied that he did not believe it could, and he did not believe it ought to be repealed without a substitute. He said "his was not a mere question of coining a few million dollars more or less in a year, but that it was a question between bimetalism and gold monometalism. He said that the present coinage law was the only thread by which silver was held in our monetary system.— Strike this law down, he said, without any substitute, and bimetalism is overthrown. To bimetalists, he said, a change in the standard from both metals to one, in the face of the vast indebtedness that now weighs down modern nations, would be nothing ess than a stupendous crime. Waraer proposes to introduce a substitute for the Bland bill, at the assembling of Congress in December, and carry it through the house by a good majority. The Mt. Ayr correspondent of the Ker tland Gazette last week reports the following on our former townsman, George Sigler, r.,f the firm of Willey & Sigler: . b °ys get off rather an amusing story concerning George Sigler and Ins little Jersey. AVhile the little cow is kind and gent'e and will follow him like a clog, yet she is a source of trouble to the owner. Any old farmer who is ac.

quaintecl with this part of the country would have known that to stake a Jersey out in the field he must have a good memory of places as well as a keen eyesight in order that lie might have no trouble in going back to the strike by which he fasten *d his cow. Mr. Sigler soon learned that to stand on the threshold and look across the pasture i s he did when old mother durham as there, was of no use, and he at once set out in search of his little Jersey. At first his efforts seemed to be in vain and was on the point of giving up in despair, and demanding of father Wisharcl the return of old mother durham, but as he was turning to leave lie caught his foot in the rope, nd taking this and following hand over hand in the direction the rope c.ime from he came upon his little Jersey 1 ing in the weeds. Mr. Sigler has since used a stake that stands up above the weeds and now has no more trouble in finding his cow.

Our old time friend M. H. Ingrirn, of the Wmaniac Democratic Journal, thus kindly alludes to the aspirations of Bro. Rimmerman, of the Valparaiso Messenger, and ourself : James McEwen, editor of the Rensselaer Sentinel, and E. F. Zimmerman, editor of the Valparaiso Messenger, are candidates for postmasters of their respective towns. If our wishes could prevail both gentlemen would long before this have been made the happy recipients of President Cleie'aud’s oTcial recognition. They are “worthy and well qualified,” and it is the Democratic Jouknal’s earnest hope that both Zim and Jim will s am “get liar, Eli.” Rensselaer correspondent Remington News: “Some of the leading Democrats concede that J. W. McEwen, editor of the Sentinel, will be our next Postmaster. Several prominent Republicans signed Mr. McEwen’s petition. AVlien tackled about it they replied “they wanted a simonpure unadulterated Democrat in the place.” ” Remington News: “It is confidently expected that McEwen, the veteran editor of the Rensselaer Sentinel, will he the next Postmaster of his town.” Thanks! “So mote t be.” Remington News: Mrs. Fivd Hoo.er accompanied by Eva and Charley, started for their new home in Indian Territory yesterday.— Their numerous friends regret their departure, but heartily wish them abundant happiness and prosperity. Ibid: A portion of Hon. Fred. Hoover’s household goods were shipped to Coffeeville, Kansas, this week, and will be conveyed by team from there to the Osage Mission. Superintendent Nelson informs us that Miss Bertie Kearns, of Bringhurst, Carroll county, passed a creditable examinination and has been granted license, to teach.— If there is a vacancy in the county the Trustee of the township in whifch it exists will do well to immediately correspond with the young lady at the address given above. 0.
