THE STANDARD. SATOHQAY. MVEMBER 22,1879. -

A democratic exchange truthfully remarks that everything is booming except democratic majorities. .' / i The supreme court baa declared tbe wbcMlmg hi w constitutional, tod are may now lo«»k lor a “rise’* in cotton. Oeoeral Grant thinks..the next president will be a republican. -From present' iniboatioos there is little room for argoineut on that proposition. v * Tbe Louisiana eh clion occurs December 2nd. If every man is permitted to vote'aa he pleases the republicans will carry the state by a handsome majority. Governor Croswell, of Michigan, has appointed Hon. Fernando C. Beaman United States Senator to fill tbe place made vacant by the death of Senator Chandler. Congress convenes one week from next Monday. An exchange hints that the democrats will put ra their good behavior at the approaching session. Yes, if • they have any to put on. • Ex-Judge Wm. C. Tslcott has retired from the editorial chair of the Valparaiso Yidette and Chas. R. Talcott, son of the retiring assumes - complete control. Tbe Vidette is an excellent paper and we wish the new management abundaat success.

John Kelley is the man whom '‘the d< ufnerats throughout the country charge with blighting Tildeu ! s hopes for the . nomination for the presidency on the ‘democralie ticket in 1880. John said Saknray unwt and Sammy went. The hero of G rimer cy Park is certainly a much abused man. , The Fowler Democrat has had a new head put un it and now comes to us under tbe name of the Benton Review. It still sticks to democracy, but with all that it is a first-class country newspaper. Just what of the publisher in making the change was is not apparent. The result of the recent elections may have had something to do with it. A copy of the Carroll County Record reached our table this* week. It is a neat 5-column quarto, published at Flora, by our young.friend D. A. Fawcett. Its columns fairly bristle with spicy local items, and the paper shows signs of con- , siderable editorial ability. Weglndly give the Record a place upon our exchange list, and wish it and the editor abundant success. Democratic newspapers continue to assert that New York was carried by the democrats at the receut election, and that, too, in the very face of the returns Which show that every candidate but one on their ticket was defeated by from 1,100 to 43,000 votes. This looks very much like their sole object is to mislead their readers, which is very necessary to give them a show of success.

; The committee of arrangements for’the Gr-iUt reception at Indian a pel is, which ars December 9tb, are leaving noth-" ing undone to make it the grandest demonstration ever witnessed in the state. The Logan Greys have’ been accorded the honor ol heading the procession. Excursion tiains will be run at greatly reduced rates on almost every road io the stale, and the outpouring of people on that occasion will undoubtedly be im--000086. • Hawkcye: The astronomers tell us the perihelion of Jupiter occurs in 1380. Then we want it understood right here that we resign; we don't belong; we stay out. There isn’t room' in this country for us and the perihelion of Jupiter. The line must be drawn somewhere, and we draw it at perihelion. Then in 1883 comes the perihelion of Saturn and that of Uranus. Two perihelions; that beatd anything we’ve got. .The next deal we suppose some of the planets will hold threes, just to beat two pair. In discussing the question as to the most suitable place for holding the National Republican convention,' the Indiapotis Journal makes the following strong points in favor of Indianapolis: “It is more central and accessible than either of the other places, (Chicago or Cincinnati) can famish all the music and beer necessary or proper for the occasion, has ample hotel room, and will guarantee a ball of abundant capacity. As for climate. it is some hundred feet higher than either Cincinnati or Chicago, and consequently lives, moves and has its-be-ing in a better atmosphere. But a better argument still in favor of this city is that the convention would give the republican cause iu this state a boom which might prove of the greatest value to the party.. If we carry Indiana next year, us we propose to do, the republican candidate will be elected as muoh as if we carry New York. No person can doubt ihat holding the convention in this l-iiy would give an impetus to the cause

in this aute which would probably place the success of the republicans beyond doubt. In this view Of tbe case all other considerations are insignificant. Tbe convention is not needed in Ohio or Illinois, but is in Indiana.

Homer D- Cope at Rensselaer.

The second entertainment of the lecture course of the Irving Literary Association will be given at Starr’s Hall, Friday evening, Nov. 28, ’79. This time Homer P. Cope will render Banitn’s grand classical drama, “Dsppn and Pythias,” followed by Mark Twain’s humerous masterpiece, entitled “Uncle Daniel’s Appiration,” the most perfect portraiture of negro character ever produced. He has been accorded unusually flattering receptions in New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Indianapolis and many other cities, and ia very highly spoken of by the press wherever he has appeared. Did space permit highly complimentary notices from leading newspapers of tbe Atlantic cities, with those throughout the length ’and bredth of our country, could be given, but after reading tbe following, the public ought surely to be sntisfied with regard to the merits of this favored man: After years of experience and intimate knowledge of the business in the United States and Canada, we affirm that the soccess of Mr. Cope’s efforts, together with the rapidity of its attainment, is absolutely without a parallel. As a further assurance to committees, we guarantee the new entertainment to be unsurpassed by anything ever offered upon the platform, and a failure to accomplish this may be regarded as sufficient cause for withholding the fee.—American Bureau , Cooper Institute , New York City.

REMINGTON POT-POURRI.

[From our special correspondent.] The popular boom in this region just now is corn. Two huge cribs capable of holding many thousand bushels, are being erected at the Hathaway elevator. Riley has posponed the building of his brick block until spring. From the pile of rocks for foundation, I should judge be will be all ready for a start when winter breaks. Guy’s business being too large for the building he occupied, he has moved his drugs, etc., to MeDougle’s room in Exchange block. All owing to the fact that he runs a newspaper in Remington. Bill Babb’s broom factory is in full blast, turning out brooms at the rate of a dozen per week, or more. A little manufacturing enterprise invariably tells upon the pros* perity of a town like Remington. Alex Stebbins and his wife, last week, 6*me to the conclusion that they bad better dissolve partnership, so thev went to work in a>business like manner, made an equal division of property and separated. The New fork Times, radical, concedes that New fork is a democratic state, by at least 25,000 dollars majority.—[Sentinel of last issue. Wbat in the name of creation does Mac mean by that? Are we to understand that $25,000 more democratic than republican money was used -to buy votes with? 8. J. T. should have tapped another barrel. . , Diptheria seems to be abating to the great joy of our citizens, though they hardly dare to exult over it as yet. There is a deep seated dread pervading the community that it is only a temporary lull lu the disease, liable to break out again at any time, with renewed vigor. The schools are jtill held off for fear that it is not safe as yet. to bring so many Kttle ones together, dozens of whom have been exposed to the disease. Much enthusiasm was evinced last Thursday the 13ih lost., over the prospect of a free show of unwonted splendor, gotton up in the heavens under the superintendence of Prof. Tice. But alas! The Professor failed to connect and it was hardly safe to askamaa on the street, next morning, with red flannel around bis throat and Toice scarce above a whisper, if he saw the stars shoot. The mildest reply was, “You go to h—l.” The editor of the Sentinel seems to be worried over the receptions accorded to General Grant and remarks that the Father jof his country was never known to have been the recipient of bouses, lands, monies, Ac , Ac., clear on down to bull-pups, etc. Well, supposing he wasn’t. G. W. never thrashed so many rebels as Ulysses did. Neither did he smash the solid South all to splinters and save the country from a more deplorable state than the success of King George’s hirelings* would have been. 1 have noticed for several years that any honors paid to a Republican ex-army oDce, make the average democratic editor sick at the stomach, jnst in proportion to said officer’s instrumentality in subduing tho

rebellion.
