REMINGTON RAMBLES.

Our letter thi* week and until aftar the 4teetfoafti will aeaaaaartly contain mor* polities than poetry. Th* great issuea of th* day ftaturatTy claim a great share of oW time ant? attention * W* cannot afford to sit by with folded hands even if we dofeelahnre ot success. Wark* are as neaesaary ar faith therefore let da see to it that watchmen are <et upon our walla. Tkereis work great work for ? every loyal man to do. Let us see that ft is well done.Iu “Democrat*” letter of last week to the JeutsnsZ occurs this remarkable statement. “Tbe Republicans are badly «bo<>k up over their candidate for sheriff. Weighed in lhe balance even his own scales and he is found wanting.'’ Is Demo* srat also among the prophets” ? When did the weighing come off? We were under the impression that it is :o be aiidulcd to the twelfth of O-.•tub r when Mr, N, will be badiv ,fshook uj? or ratlin uhuken ■l'u u ajad uav Qarpequ-r tewushtp •irks to mipp'y bt>: -nne of the County <»th era aiol that orid- we are bound to elect- lhe paragraph which ire quoted above makes ns think of the Rpor.era report of a fight in which he tells huw one man whipped another badly in a saloon fight “one week from to day.” Truly some people get their modes, tenses and grimmer generally, badly mixed, l.

Voorhes Plunkett is still doing glorious work for ths Republican party. He offered to take free of charge all who would go to Goodland to hear the other Voorhes thus blindly leading many stragglers who were wavering on the border land over into the safe fold of Republicanism. All the rhetorical flights of Dan Voorhes all his blatant utterances and tender appeals to his dear “soldiers friends” canuot disguise the tnct that while they were in tiie, field enduring hardships as good soldiers he and his party were stigmatizing them as “Lincoln dogs and hirelings.” Soldiers think of it. Remember it well whuu you coms to the pull*. They thiuk no mure ot you now than they did then. Your vote* may help them into power bat you are still “Lincolns dogs” The Catholics are having a grand fair in Exchange Iliil where many useful and ornamental articles may be had cheap for cash. Mr. Ira C. Ktngsbiiry returned on Saturday lust from an extended tour through the west. We hope he found no place thatbe like I better than Remington as we would hate to lose *o good a cit zeu. Many of our staunch Republics us expect to attend tha rally at Goodla'ud next Saturday.' A horse tamer (name forgotten) expects to give some wonderlul exhibitions of his skill on our streets next Tuesday.

Wc are afraid that a Democrat baa gone back upon his own reso luiion, embodied if we mistake not in “those constitution and by laws.

So he had neighbor, so he had. It cost him just twenty tive cents and was good for oneinp and train only. Please dear Reporter the reference to M. Solomons return from Colorado was limply - a little- joke which we know Mose and mnny friends would understand. We never dreamed that the Reporter man would wory his simple soul about it or we would really have given it up. The many friends of C.

Will Mom of Rensselaer visits this burg very frequently. There must be some attraction over thia way. Susie May aged thirteen year* daughter of Mr. and Mps-E. Hart died last Saturday evening at ten o'clock after a short but very painful illness. She was a lovely girl gentle and affectionate in dispo>k lion and the stricken parents, broth er* and sisters have the sympathy of the entire community.
