Mr. Wilson, who accompanied Mr. West jumped from the buggy to catch the horse at the bridle. But the horse ran off a small bridge, Mr. West fell out. and the horse then came dashing in town without a driver. Mr. West, fortunately escaped without a scratch. The horse was soon captured, when it was found that no particular damage had been done. An exchange remarks that the federal law forbidding railroads to keep cattle on the cars twenty-eight hours without feeding and watering them hnB at last got before the courts* The circuit court in Massachusetts has affirmed the act as constitutional, and decided that a road which has itself had the cattle on its hands only for the tail end of the twenty-eight hours is responsible for the entire time and liable to a fine of $100 to $500. The court, however, holds ttiat the statute inflicts the fine only for each act of confinement and not for each separate head of cattle. As it stands, the decision settles the fact that this act, if enforce will prevent the suffering now imposed on cattle.

F. Townsend, Democratic elector, spoke in this place Monday night last. Euterpe Hail was crowded, and one and ail expressed themselves that his was the best speech made here this campaign.—[Princeton Democrat. If all the Democrats of Pike county were like Jacob llopp, of Madison township, it would not bo an up-hill business running a Democratic paper in Petersburg. When Mr. Ropp comes to town he remembers the printer, and brings in a buBhel of apples, potatoes, or something of the kind. His last favor was a lo t of sweet potatoes left at our office last Monday.__ Fire. About 7:30 o’clock Sunday night the alarm of fire was sounded. Remembering the terrible ravages of the fires here, people left the various places of worship and rushed toward the scene of conflagration. The ' fire, evidently the work of an incendiary, was found to be in the stable of Simon Mor1 gau, in the east end. The building was entirely destroyed, with its contents—one half load of corn, a load of hay and a plow. Loss, *160._ Disastrous Firs at Oakland City.

McCarty, Secretary; Simon Levy, Treasurer. It is a larg e club'and they still keep coming. The nextjmeeting oftho club will be held at tho court-house next Saturday night. It is an Important meeting, and there should be a good turn out.

TH£ REPUBLICAN RALLI. A Z'air Crowd, bat a Notable Lack of Enthusiasm. Saturday was the day extensively advertised for the biggest Republican rally of the campaign. The weather was fine, and in consequence the showing was creditable. There were not a great many people upon the streets in the morning, the people coming in delegations, with glee clubs. They came In wagons and on horseback from various directions, and formed into line at the head of 3fa:n street about 11 o'clock, and headed by the Petersburg band and glee club marched over the route previously announced to the fair grounds. In this beautiful grove the baskets were opened and a plentiful spread partaken of by all. Ia the afternoon the Hon. “Billy'' Williams, of Warsaw, 6poke for two hours. Mr. Williams is one of the best Republican stamp speakers in the Stsite, and shrewdly twisted the tariff question to the satisfaction of his Republican fearers. After the speaking the glee clubs and band made music, and the people dispersed well pleased. The crowd which was estimated at 2,000 was certainly not as large as the Republicans expected in that, their grand rally. There was also a lack of genuine enthusiasm which is usually rampant on such occasions. At night they were going to “paint the tovm a scarlet” but then it proved to be only a “light” red. The torchlight procession headed by the band, with the glee club wagonii in line, marched tip Main street and returning formed a hollow square on the corner of Seventh and Main streets, where the speaking occurred. We heard of two or three counts of the torches—167, 170, 181, Democratic and Republican counts. 4- gentle man counted but 02 voters in line—and there were many small boys among the rcmsunder. Joseph Stubblefield and Hon. Frank Posey addressed the crowd, which seemed to not hold together very well. The speaking lasted till 8:30, when the comparatively small crowd that had remained throughout, left for their homes, happy that they had devoted one day to the cause of Republicanism. A Card, Editor Democrat: 'The Press says I examined Mr. Richardson’s hooks and could find nothing to do him any good, and advised Mr. R. to compromise. Some six or eight weeks ago the above statement appeared! in the Press, and was repeated again last week. When it first appeared I bad not commenced the examination of Mr. R’s books, therefore had no knowledge whatever of the matter, and ef course could not advise him in the premises. Since I have been at wor k on the books I hove seen nothing that wonld justify me in advising Mr. R. to compromise, but can see many reasons why the other side should want the matter to end in that way. I have not advised Mr, Richardson to compromise, nor will I unless the records yet to be examined should radically reverse the result of those I have gone over. Yours Very Respectfully, Dot. 21,1884 Mart Flkrnkr. An elastic step, buoyant, spirits, and clear complexion, are among the many desirable results of pure blood. The possessor of healthy blood has his faculties at command, and enjoys a clear and quick perception, which is imjiossible when the blood is heavy and sluggish with impurities, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the best blood puri-, fitr and vital izer known.

THE ELECTIONS. How the Republicans Jollified Over 28,000 Majority in Ohio, Whleh has Dwindled to a Plurality of Only 10,000. Put Out the Democratic BoMtcr Mi Let Him Crow Over Ohio and West Virginia)

Our Republican friends ‘‘enthused'’ over the glorious (news from Ohio last Wednesday night. Twenty-three rounds were fired for the 23,000 majority in that State. The following morning they found that majority shrinking. It reminds one of the story of the darkey who had caught a large fish, and who.laid it by his side and Went to sleep. While he was sleeping, a boy stole the big fish and put in its place a little one. When the darkey awoke he looked at the fish and said, “Golly, how dat fish am shrunk!” Now, you can not hear a single Republican boasting of the victory in the Buckeye 6tate, while the Democrats are all eheered over the result in Ohio and West Virginia. After using a corruption frrad of $2,000,000, hlppodroming Blaine and Logan all over the State, calling in the usurpers Dudley, Dorsey and Elkins, running in repeaters and thousands of United States Deputy Marshals from other States, intimidating voters, and every conceivable chicanery perpetrated that a corrupt party could resort to—the result is a plurality of 10,000, and the election cf ten Congressmen. At the October election in the last Presidential year they oarried the State by 10,006 majority and elected sixteen Congressmen. This year the Democrats .elect eleven Congressmen (a majority) and reduce the average October majority one-half. It is our victory! Koto the figures given below: 1866—Republican majority, October . .19,880 1856— 1860— 1S60— 1864— 1864— 1868— 1868— 1872— 1872— 1876— 1876— 1880— 1880— 1884— “ November.16,628 “ October. . .12,903 “ November.44,378 “ October 64,781 •* November .59,586 “ October .17,883 “ .November.41,428 “ October .14,150 “ November.37,531 “ October . 6,636 ** November. 7,616 “ October 19,006 “ November.34,227 plurality, October.. .10,600 This is an average of 20,600 on the seven October elections previous to 1884, and it will be seen that the average is abont the October majority of Garfield’s year. WEST VIRGINIA could not be debauched, and gives an increased Democratic majority—8,000 to 10,000. The Republicans now see their narrow chances for success in tho State and National elections. There is nothing favorable in the October elections for them after the desperate fight. Democrats are encouraged. Let the fight he hot from now till the closing of the polls. Every Democrat and independent should take oif their coats and work for the success of the ticket and we will “get there” by a big majority. THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING. Hon, J. K. 0’5eatl>§ Tariff Speech Last Friday Night.

There was Democratic music in the air last Friday night. The occasion was the speaking of Hon. J. H. O’Neal!, of Washington. Glee clubs came from Nashville and Calnmuck. The baud played campaign music, and many cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks ailed the air. A largo crowd assembled at the court house. Mr. Ely was matte Chairman of the meeting, and after a few remarks introduced Mr- O’Noall, who spoke for two hours. The speech was full of meat, and if space permitted we would be glad to produce a full synopsis of It. H is remarks were conduet! to the tariff alone. As a statiaticiaiy' Mr. O’Neall is wonderful. Through hisoHriire speech he Quoted statistics from tHo com-, pendium of the census without 'a single reference. Showed tSiat every dollar’s worth of sugar you buy you pay Co cents for the sugar and -J5 cents for the tax. One-fourth of the impost duties levied ore upon molasses and sugar. “The Republican party in their platform declare that they will correct the inequalities of the tariff. What fire their promises worth? You have not heard Republican speakers say that their party will correct these inequalities. They soy one thing in their platform and another in their speeches. In the lattsr they say they want the present protective tariff—one that protects (?) the laboring man. How many are the “protected” ones? Mr. O’Neall enumerated all the establishments, so-called “infant industries,” that have the direct benefits of the tariff. All these firms employ, in round numbers, 600,000 persons. These capitalists are protected that they may get high prices for their goods. All pay higher for the goods in consequence of the pretection. While these 600,000 are in institutions protected (and the wages are not materially raised by the protection) millions are in establishments and engaged in pursuits that have no protection, and which are us needful no doubt as the ones now protected. Is that not legislation for the few and against the many? Yon see these capitalists growing rich from protected industries. Because when they shut down half the time the goods come in demand, though while that price is forced up by the closing of shops and mills, the lahoring man is idle— he tramps over the country. Mr. .O’Neall proved that a demand should be made abroad for our goods and our products, by arranging a just tariff tSder which foreign countries could send articles here and buy our goods, our products, and take them back. They were not going to empty their pockets of their gold—there must be on exchange of comodities. This would revive our shipping interests, and find a market for our overproduction. As to the pica for the continued protection of labor hero In Indiana—the employes of establishments favored by protection—Mr. O’Neall quoted statistics showing that only 8,200 laborers in this State worked for firms enjoying the benefits of the tariff, the remaining thousands in Indiana were not protected. Mr. O’Neail’s speech was complete in every detail, full of facts and figures, and exploded the theories of Republican speakers that a tariff Only for revenue was impracticable. Put an ad valorem duty, said Mr. O’Neall, on foreign goods that will not allow them to undersell ours—that is all that ts needed. The Democratic party will correct these inequalities. To listen to Mr. O’Neall on the tariff, is an education. He bad the closest attention throughout. Mr. Ely closed tiro meeting with a rattling speech. Three rousing cheers were given for the State and National tickets and the result of the elections in West Virginia and Ohio. The glee clnbs deserve especial praise for their music, and the young people of Nashville and Calamauck, with the gentlemen who acted as clrcerones, have the thanks of the Central Com mittee and every one present. They lent valuable aid to the musical part of the meeting. They were entertained after the meeting at the residence of P. A. McCarty. New Meat Market. Isaac Whittaker has returned to Petersburg and in connection with his brother has opened up a meat market on the corner of Main and Eighth sts., where they will keep fresh meat of all kinds, sausage, etc. constantly on hands. Mr. Whittaker is one of the best butchers that ever carried on the business in this place, and they will no doubt receive a liberal share of the public patronage. Wanted—Boarders. . A few gentlemen boarders or mail hud wife can find hoard and large, well-furnished rooms with private family by inquiring at this office.

Turn out and hear the Issues honestly and fairly discussed. By order of Commute. Up to the time of going to press, the offers to bet on the increase of the county indebtedness has found no takers. The offers: $500, that the county indebtedness June 1,1882, was not $40,000. $500, that the county indebtedness June 1,1884, was over $40,000. $500, that the indebtedness was larger June 1,1884, than it was June 1,1882. If any party or parties wish to take the above bets they can be accommodated by calling at this office. In the event the above bets are taken, each side to select a man to examine the records, and the bets to be decided by their report. Had Lewis Loveless received the Democratic nomination for Representative he would not be about today making Republican seeches, so that Aleyn was correct when he wrote: Monoy and man a mutual falsehood show, Men make false money-money makes men so. It should be remembered that in the October election of 1880, Ohio was carried by the Republicans by about twenty thousand majority while the Democracy gained West Virginia by only two thousand. “He who laughs last laughs best,” and the Democrats, have thejast laugh on Ohio and West Virginia. SilEEH desperation—Republicans screeching at saving Ohio,-by a greatly reduced majority. j

We only lack a few business men of enterprise, that can be relied on and who will remain with us and do a thing whon they promise it.
