THE STANDARD. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1879.

Canada wag visited by » mow storm Septembji 25th. Secretory Shenaoa is billed for three in Ohio next week. TiMen stock is rapidly declining since the Blackburn boom sprang iDto exislence. - " * O. W. Church, Esq., has bought the Reijinuton Reporter office. We wish the new management success. Pe La Matyr is said to be making ttump speeches in lowa. Look out for an increased republican majority m that : state. About 2,000 Cincinnati cabinet makers, coopers, shoemakers and railroad employes stroek for higher wages on Mohday last.

Delphi Journal: There will be a strong republican frost in Ohio about the 14th of next month and then look out for dried up democrats. Blackburn, the yellow fever fiend, and Barksdale, the murderer of Dixon, would make good standard bearers for the democracy to rally around in 1880. A specimen of democratic reform is illustrated in the defalcation of Clarence A. Buskirk, late democratic attorney-general. There is a deficiency in his accounts of over $26,000. Blackburn and Barksdale—how would that sound for a democratic presidential ticket? They would certainly represent the principles of nine-tenths of the bourbon element of the democratic party. Delphi Journal: Hendricks, “the gifted sou” is sorely grieved that there is a disposition to make a solid republican North. The Straddler never shed any lachrymal torrents over a solid South, did he?

During the month of September the public debt was reduced $2,563,751. Pretty good load to be taken off the shoulders of the people in one month, and that, too under a republican administration. Rumor was rife in Chicago on Friday of last week*, to the effect that President , Hayes had died very suddenly of heart disease. Investigation, however, revealed the fact that there was no truth in the report. The rumor-occasioned no little excitement. . -• The,business boom that the country is now enjoying comes in a bad time for the democrats and greenbackere. It looks now very much like there won’t be a vestige left of those two parties in the states in which elections are to be held this month. Hon. Francis Gillette died at his residence in Hartford, Conn., on Tuesday last. He was a Freesoil United States Senator for the sessions of 1854-’55, for the unexpired term of Truman Smith, and was the father of Congressman Gil- - lette, of lowa. It is likely that the friends of Senator Yoorhees will give him a grand reception when he returns from his political tour through Ohio. Daniel is held in almost as high esteem by his political followers as is the notorious yellow fever fiend, Blackburn.

The business portion of the city of Dead wood, D. T., was destroyed by fire on the morning of September 26th, rendering 2,000 people homeless and entailing a loss of $2,000,000. The city will be rebuilt as speedily as possible and in a more substantial manner. Luther Benson came very near “pass--ing in bis checks” the other day. He got on a bender, locked himself up iu his room and was attacked by 10,000 -snakes," more or less. It was a close call for Luther, but he is again recovering. It is hoped for the good of the temperance cause that the next attack will settle his hash. Chicago Inter-Ocean: The name of U. S. Grant upon a republican ticket would be equal to a quart of “Boothing syrup poured down the throat of every “brigadier.” You could “put him in his little bed” and he would go to sleep without a kick. The people have an idea of trying it. and fellows who don’t like the diet had better change their boardinghouses. .

Indianapolis Journal: The gifted brooding of this State is prancing around rn Ohio making what fie calls political speeches. People who used to stand within a hundred yards of William Allen while he was speaking cannot come within a mite of Gooding without putting cotton in their earn. He and Senator Voorhees spoke together at Coiambus, Saturday night, David furnishing the sound and Daniel the fury. The audience was completely prostrated.

The presidential party arrived in Indianapolis, Wednesday evening, where they met with a grand reception. They visited the State Fair, Thursday, and departed few Fremont, Ohio, the President’s home, Thursday night. Jasper H. Keyes, one of the best natured quill-drivers in Northern Indiana, has assumed control of the Montioello Democrat “Jap” has had years of experience in the newspaper business and knows foil well how to get up a neat and acceptable paper. We predict for the Democrat a long and successful career under its new management.

Indianapolis Journal: Senators Voorhees and McDonald, of this Statit, are both making speeches in Ohio.. The former is laboring to prove that resumption has not bees accomplished, and that the country is on the road to ruin, while the latter freely admits that there is a great revival of prosperity, and that the only true money is gold and silver. These two Indiana statesmen, at opposite ends of the financial line, fairly represent the patent reversible Democracy. An interview with Senator McDonald published in Monday’s Cincinnati Enquirer shows that he is decidedly shaky as to the result in Ohio. He says: “There does not seem to be a very intense political feeling among the people, and it is very clear that at the beginning of the canvass the Republicans took the lead and maintained it until within the past ten days.” It is a remarkable coincident that just about ten ago a committee called upon'.Tilden to see if he would not open his “bar’l” for Ewing. The democratic state central committee of Ohio have ‘ ‘skinned it back and fixed it” that is, they have canceled the engagement of Gov. Blackburn, the hero of the yellow fever plot, to speak in Columbus. They might as well let him fill the engagement. It would do the cause no mere harm than has already been done by the election of that illustrious gentleman (?) to the highest position in the gift of the people of democratic Kentucky. The canceling of this appointment won’t save them. Tjieir cause is lost, hopelessly lost.

Indianapolis Journal: Preparations for the reception of General U. S. Grant on a grand scale in Chicago are gradually taking shape. On Saturday there was a private meeting of regular army and militia officers to arrange a programme. The committee reported that the Exposition building had been secured from November |5 to 10 inclusive, for holding a splendid military reception and ball. The Palmer House will be Grant’s headquarters while iu Chicago. Potter Palmer left Saturday night for New York to procure electric and calcium lights and unique decorations. It is the intention not only to have the entire state militia in Chicago during the reception, but also all of the state posts of the Grand Army of.the Republic, with full complements of men in the old uniforms. Two poets of the Grand Army in lowa have sent word that they will be present. A promineut military man denies that the demonstration is to have any political significance. It is simply a welcome and recognition by the military of Grant’s own state extended to the silent man upon his return to his native heath. “We desire to keep, onr proceedings quiet,” said the officer, “but we intend to have the grandest spectacle in Chicago upon Grant’s return that has been witnessed in this country since the war.”

On Tuesday, 7th, he will be at the Fair Grounds. By an order of the Board of Directors, all entries must be made on or before Tuesday evening. Joseph Doolittle, who burglarized J. M. Hussy's store, at Pilot Grove, in Newton oounty, last August, of about S4O, plead guilty to the eharge, last Tuesday, before hfa honor Judge Hanwncrod, at Kentland, and was Sentenced to two years at hard labor In the Northern Prison, at Michigan City..

REMINGTON POT-FOVRRI.

Gates did not take a “sojourn” through the country last week, but ho was undoubtedly on one of hie periodical benders aa^. therefore failed to conned witk bis oosuaraicatkw. Alas for the Bonington Reporter! Its brains, wit and educational column as embodied in C. 8. Cox, shook the ddst of the sanctum from the said human form and retired to private life as a “country school teacher.” “What a fall was there my countrymen.’’ Will the Reporter survive?

Business is looming up and the unemployed can now find something to do. • Mechanics are all busy and none who are able to w ork need be idle now. There is quite a demand for farm hands. Remington is awakening from the three or tbur years sleep in which she has been indulging. If any one doubts the beneficial efftet of agricultural fairs let him lake a “sojourn” through the country and contrast the stock and agricultural productions now sesn, with those of ten or even five years ago and he will be fully answered. Blooded stock, er at least half breeds, are seen on every farm, and the manner of farming has been greatly improved. Even the gardens and flower beds have changed greatly for the better. I little expected to live to see the day in which our old and respected townsman, F. R. Donnelly would be taken to the penitentiary to Berve out ( a term of yeaep. Yet such is the case. He was sent there last Wednesday for a term of years, depending upon bis good behavior during' that time. Crime committed, voting the democratic ticket straight and receiving an appointment of guard over the convicts therefor. Poultry breeders have their trials and tribulations, as well as the rest of mankind. Cholera and roup are going for the feathered bipeds in a way that is extremely unprofitable for the raisers of chiekcns. Thirty years ago when the long-tailed barn-yard fowls were the only chickens raised, nothing ever ailed them but weasels, skunks and hawks. But the more valuable a thing becomes, the more liable it is to disease. Ducks seem to be the only kind of poultry that is exempt from the prevailing disease. Quacks are seldom sick, anyhow.
