Remington Rambles.

WeH—bj the time thu n is ■print the smoke of the battle will ■have cleared away, victory will be ■inscribed upon oar banner or upon ■those of the enemy—we will have crossed the Rat icon and one party or the other will be beautifully “licked.” We Lope it will not be, eere and we do not think it will be but yet the enemy is aggressive, itriviag to carry matters with a high haitd. We had oar reunion and Kwas a grand affair. • Competent judges >laoe the number of {persons at 15.000 The speeches of Col Straight, Mr. Snyder, Judge Hammond, Gen Manaon and others were all good, well delivered and well received. We did not have the pleasure of tearing the oration of Mrs. Helen Goager bat understand* from those who did that it was tplendid.

The Republican rally last Saturday was a good one and will be Koductive of good. Green B. aura did not make liis appearanee but other good speakers supplied the deficiency. We are very hopeful for the ultimate success of the party, Business still continues lively. Grain and shipping merchants are kept bury. For some tall specimens of wonder editorial ability see the OppyCox paper of last week: The article beginning ‘‘The last issue of the Rensselaer Republisax was badly buttoned up and showed tbs relationship of No Name and ita editor with decency. Men of their calabre (seeMcGuffy’s elementary spellingbook) have the narrowness of brain and the excavation es stomach of swallow anything in the shape to a republican whether he be a man or a jack ass” and soon adnauseum. Now really Cox, honest and trne, don’t you think or as Ingersoll says “honor bright” don’t you think yon bad. better go to farming and give your braih a little real? We feel concerned for you. Such mental effort, no brain us ordinary calibre (not calabre) oan stand. Take a rest. Winter goods are arriving in large quantities. By the way, if any of you Rensselaer people want any real goods call en S. and- M. Solomon. We are having delightful weather. Election day happens to be clear and snnny and as free from olouds as the prospects of the Republican party. Next week we hope to give yon many little items concerning the election here—the way it was conducted and the way the news were received by each party. For the present good bye.—No Namb.
