The tie contest in the 1 hird Ward was put in the hands of J. F. Morgan, A.vDonaldson anoj Henry Henley to settle.These good church

The colored vote of the city is lorge, and although they have made several attempts, a colored man has never been nominated for an office in Bloominton. As for the soldier

one did get on the ticket for Mayor four years ago, but he was badly beaten for a second term, when the custom of the party is always to give at. least two terms. We refer to Major Mulky, and he made an excellent officer. If the Republicans who have been running the cifcp to suit themselves

Said the Circus

agent

the

Courier office l ast week : I want to get out of'tbifl town on the next train ; every man I speak to charges me five or ten dollars. Thought at first it was a pretty square town when the Auditor charged me but $5 for license, but as soon as I commenced asking for space to put up bills, everyone wanted five or ten dollars and tickets for their families and their sisters and their cousins and their aunts, mother-in-law and neighbors. I was looking at a side-wall of a house when a; fellow stuck his head out of the door und yelled : "$5 and seven tickets!" A little further along I was

sizing up a board fence rfhen a wo

man poked her head out the window and exclaimed : "You can kiver it

up with you picters for $4 and 12

tickets." If I bad granted the demands of all I would have our tents filled with free tickets and left about $500 in the town besides.But the big

show is coming and for every ioliar

we get we are going to give value received. Said a veteran Republican: Pretty good thing you had in your paper

last week,bufcyour informant miss

mendations for. office will have any

weight with the administration, but

that has been settled and he has al

ready made a number of recom

mendations. Every day or two he

has named a Postmaster in this

District, Your informant was right about Duncan, Hill, and Browning

deserving office,but there ar others

too. It is understood that Mr. Browning is to be provided for a-

mons: the first. The position of

bank examiner would fit Nat Hill

exactly. I know that Clay Duncan

will provide for the boys as much as

it is possible for him to do so, and

I hepe he will be well provided for.

The soldiers are not going to be

neglected. The Republican party cannot afford to go back on them, after all the professions made. But they can't expect the offices to be tendered them, they will have to hustle for them the same as the rest of us, when they will be given the preference. Gen. Harrison is a true friend to his old comrades, and wiU not go back on them. Rev. J, C. Bennington, of Unionville, died last Monday, in the 75th year of his age. He was a pioneer citizen of the county, well known, and highly esteemed. .... It has been many years since we had a Democratic assessor in Bloomington township, but we have now in the person of Peter Bowman who was appointed by Auditor Pecjigb to succeed Mr. Woolley, deceased Mr. Bowman will do the work thoroughly and in a business-like way. One of the grandest local events of the season was the K, of P. ball Monday night. The Bloomington Uniform Rank, accompanined by the Mechanic's band, arrived htre on the evening train. The parade

and drill reflected great credit, not

only on the gentlemen but on the city of Bloomington. There were also several from other , places. Bedford Democrat.

The young ladies of the "Y" society gave a very interesting performance of "Rebecca's Triumph" at the Opera House Thursday night A, large audience highly enjoyed it. Thcyoung ladies certainly deserve much credit for the very neat way in which they rendered the play. It will be repeated this ( Friday )night.
