THE-STANDARD. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER!, 1879. _

Tbe total vote polled at the recent election in Ohio aggregates 668,681, the largest ever cast in the state. ludirtD'po’H is favorably spoken of as the bc*r place for holding the republican national convention, next year. The republican majority in lowa is between 80,000 and 100,000, atid that, too. without any bull dosing. lowa is a healthy stute to live in. The yellow level governor of Kentucky, during the first month of his administration, pardoned thirty-seven convicts out of the penitentiary, all of whom it is claimed were democrats. The Michigan City Enterprise pre diets that with the same rate of gain as in Ohio, the republicans will carry Indiana by 15,000- majority. Yes, and We are going to do it, too. We begin to feel it in our bones. General James M. Shackelford, of Evansuilfe, is* spoken of in connection with the republican nomination for governor. The Logansport Journal is favorable to his nomination, and says he v ould be a strong candidate. A strong man is what we want. On Tuesday, > ovember 11th, a vote will be takenjs Kansas on a proposed amendment to the constitution to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors for any other than medicinal or mechanical purposes. The prospects are.favorable for the adoption of the amendments by a pood majority. Elections will be held next Tuesday in the following states: New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maryland and Mississippi.- Set the first six down as republican by good majorities. The last two will democratic, as usual. * Its a solid North, without any ifs or ands. n rl " • ' - 5 A correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal, writing from Richmond, this state,, mentions Judge Morris, of Fort Wayne, as a suitable candidate for governor on the republican ticket. With such a man as Judge Morris at the head of the ticket the republicans could un doubtedly carry the state by a handsome majority.

The Logansport Journal thinks the revolution in Ohio which has changed the legislature from forty-two democratic majority on joint ballot to thirty-five republican, wonderful. It does seem a little that way. but when tbe action of the confederate congress, and the Yazoo policy, are considered, it is not so won derial after all. Up to October 1st arrears of pension claims amounting to 820,734,507 had been settled, the average amount in each case being $545. During the month of September 13.283 cases were settledAll pensioners who believe themselves entitled to arrears, and who have not received a notice of the settlement of their claims, either by allowance or rejection, can, hasten settlement of the same by writing to the pension office, giving numberof their pension certificate and their present postoffice address. The postmaster general recently issued an order to posuasters throughout the country prohibiting the mailing of letters to lottery companies or agents, and forbidding the sending of money by postoffice order or registered letter to such companies or agents. The parties affected by this order have become very indignant thereat, and threaten to carry the case into the courts, claiming their right to make use of the mails. The order was made on a decision of 1879, which forbids the use of the mails for the purpose of swindling the public, and the authorities claim that lotteries come under this head.

v Senator Blaine, in his Cooper Institute speech, a few nights ago, took occasion to refer to the democratic howl about soldiers and intimidation at the polls. Hear what he said: “We-have 25,000 men, if it be fall to its uttermost. We have in reality 21,000 men. They are engaged in far off and perilous duty, on distant frontiers, protecting 1,000.000 square miles of infant territory, guarding the adventurous from the cruel and relentless savage, and standing on 1,000 miles of Rio Grande front to prevent in enrsions from M exico. , And east of Omaha, where but yesterday civilisation stopped—east of Omaha, in thirty two states, with 44,000,000 of people, divided among I.ZOO counties, with 18,000 poll-ing-places—there is the enormous number of 1,132 United. States soldiers,1,132 troops to do the intimidating! One man to every ooonty and a half two soldiers to every three counties.” This ought to be sufficient to convince every intelligent man of the silliness of the democratic cry of “soldiers at the polls for the purpose of intimidating voters and influencing elections.” It certainly knocks the wind out of that argument.

Governor Foster's majority over nil competitors is 3,229. “His PestUcney” is the new title conferred upon Gov. Blackburn, of Kentucky. Very appropriate. There are 510 cases on the docket of the United States District and Circuit Courts, at lodiauapolis, for the ensuing term. County Clerk Randsell, of Marion county, issued 1,186 marriage licenses and docketed 230 divorce suits during the year which closed on Friday of last week. The Tri-State Medical Society, the membership of which is made up of physicians of Indian*, Illinois and Kentucky, will meet in Evansville next Tuesday, the 4th instant. *■. The votes cast on the proposed amendments to the Ohio constitution were coanted on tbe 24th instant. The amendments were all lost, they failing to receive a majority. Afraid the Irving Literary Association will fail to carry out their programme? Hem! You don’t know the goaheadative sticktoitiveness of it 3 members, or— you would hush. In 1878 the greenbackers of Ohio polled 38,332 votes. At the recent election their total vote was 9,120. A loss in one year of 29,212. At this rate of shrinkage where will they be in another year?

A heavy snow storm visited portions of Pennsylvania, New York and Canada on the 24th instant. At Meadville, Pa., snow fell to the depth of twelve inches. The Catskill mountains in New York were covered with six inches of snow. The postoffice department is drawing the reins on the lottery companies. Post-master-general Key has instructed the postmasters at New York city, Louisville and New Orleans to refuse hereafter to rent boxes in their offices to lottery companies or lottery agents. . Rev. Gilbert De La Matyr is announced to speak in Monticelloon Thursday, the 20th instant. Just what the Revereud gentleman proposes to speak about is not learned, but the supposition is that his subject will be the “Death of the National Greenback Party." Hon. David Gooding, of Hancock county, is fishing after the the democratic nomination for cong r ess in the seventh district. “Dave" would make a good quarter horse, but he hasn’t got wind enough to hold out in a mile heat. I?e would require too much grooming. The busiuess boom has ' evidently struck the Goodland Herald, as it comes V to us this, week showing marked improvement. It is now all printed at home, and is chuck full of local and general news. Bro. Kitt is certainly giving his patrons tbe worth of their money. * .

It is thought that the second place on the democratic presidential ticket will be given to either Hendricks, Voorhees or McDonald. If neither of these gentlemen will accept, the position should be tendered to “Blue Jeans.” Indiana must have it, and the “more abler man” might as well receive the nomination as anybody else. Chief of Police Kennedy, formerly inspector of the House of Correction at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has sued the Sentinel Company of that city for libel. He claims that the Sentinel has been publishing slanderous articles concerning the management of the institution with which he was formerly connected. Several other suits will probably be brought against the Sentiuel Company by parties implicated in the affair. General Grant will visit Indianapolis on the 20th instant. The inhabitants of the capital will leave nothing undone to make his reception in that city equal to the one to be tendered him by the citizens of Chicago on the occasion of his visit there. The citizens of the state at large are invited to be present and participate in the public demonstration to be made on that day, and no doubt thousands will avail themselves of this opportunity to see and hear the great chieftain. The railroads are expected to run half fare trains to accommodate persons wish to attend. ,

Northern Indianian: There ia room ia the good old party for every one who strayed away from it T and all will be welcomed back into the ranks. It is time to come back, too, because a great tidal wave of republicanism is about to sweep over the land, the flow of whieh began in California, was heard in Maine, re-echoed |o Ohio, and will be repeated again in New York within a few weeks, and which, will continue on its course until about November, 1880, sweeping everything before it. The only safe place for any one to be is on beard the good old republican ship. G-e-t a-b o a-r-d.

It seems that all do uot yet understand that they run no risk in purchasing a season ticket to the Ifeoture, as the Literary Association, under whose auspices it is to be conducted, pledge their word and honor, that the programme shall be carried out; and that in case those engaged to lecture should be kept in penitentiary or transported for life before the time arrives for their appearance, those holding season tickets will have their money refunded. Don’t complain that tbe price per ticket is too high- The talent engaged is the same as will appear on tbe platform In the leading cities throughout the United States, during the coming season; and. if there, you would pay 50 or 75 cents, or one dollar for single ticket, while here the price of siDgie tickets is fixed at 50 cents. One persou purchasing two tickets for five dollars will find, upon calculation, that bis single entertainment will oost him only 31* cents, or one season ticket, for eaca entertainment 37* cents. All seem willing to pay 25 oents for an ordinary entertainment, then why not pay a few cents more and get the very best.— Some of tbe talent employed will oost the Association in the neighborhood of Two Hundred Dollars per night and such being the case, noaecan expect a dime admittance. Remember THAT EVERY SEASON TICKET SECURES THE HOLDER A RESERVED SEAT.

REMINGTON POT-POURRI.

[From our special correspondent.] Tom Ralph puts in his day’s work in Traugh's eg* cellar and his evenings with Wright Williams learning telegraphy. As usual, this week finds Barney Patton with a new clerk in his livery stable. The initials of this one’s name are S. B. Haver. The big trade of the town is now divided between wagons in which to gather, and lumber to build cribs in which to store the bounteous corn crop, A new use has been discovered by one of our physicians for blue mass. He mixes it with a “hydraulic” syringe (if you kno.w what that is) to draw a blister. , The irrepressible Willet is after a license to retail damnation, this week again, and as a matter of course, the better class of Remington’s citizens are after him with hot blocks. F. R. Donnelly is going to housekeeping in Michigan City, his wife and household goods having gone this week. I don’t know whether Tom is going to marry or b&ch at the old home. On Tuesday night a barn and five horses were burned, on the farm formerly occupied by Levi Hawkins, about four miles southeast of town. A sixth horse received fatal injuries. Cause unknown. It is often remarked of certain persons that “they have no manners.” How could they be expected to possess such qualifications when they are lacking in sense. A certain amount of brain is necessary, to be able to distinguish between good manners and selfish pomposity and beorishness.

That fearf'il and terrible scourge, scarlet fever with which Remington, a short time giuco was afflicted, having abated, diptlieria has taken Its place. It was thought advisable to close the schools for this week. Hence, the youngsters are all tearing around doing, unwittingly perhaps, their level best to get the disease. Hoosiers are proud, and justly so, of the Indiana free school system. The privilege is enjoyed by all, poor as well as rich, of getting such an education as, at least will fit them for transacting any ordinary business and maintaining a respectable position in society. But there is one drawback to this and one which the laboring class can illy endure. Almost every term and sometimes two or three times daring the term of school there must, by order of the teachers or trustees, be a change in text books. Now this may be well enough for the rich, who can make the change without trouble, but for the man who has only his daily labor to depend upon, four or five dollars for books each winter is a big thing. Is there any necessity for this frequent change beyond the percentage paid b} publishers and dealers to teachers or trustees? Do the scholars learn any faster or get better information than from the books they have been using? I have kuown in the Remington schools, two or three changes in grammar being made in one winter term, ending

with the same one started with.
