It's our time to rejoioe now. A solid south is met as it should be, by a Bolid nortli. Don't you believe that Mainc feels sick at the way she acted u'p?

Because of n scrious afiFection of the throat Senator Blaine has been obliged to cancel all his appointtuents to speak.

That 90,000 majority in Alabama, and 65,000 in Ark;ins;is, and about the same in Georgia, did a great dual for the republicaus in Oliio nnd Indiana. It was the best soit of an argument to BM with sensible men. The chainnan of the greenback state commiuee, Gen. Inues, of Grand Ilapids, looks upon Michigan as a doubtful state. Perhaps it is doubtful whether the democrats and greenbackers will know they had any candi dates in the field. Ton thousand female Mormon voters in ITtAh raisñ a nhont of triumnh and sine pajans in praise of the supretne court, whioh bas just deoided in favor of their franchise. Governor Murray and the gentilo officials are correspondingly cast down. The suui of tl 6,000 has been paid tothe daughter of ex President Zachaiy Taylor, by tho soorctary of the treasury, that amount bcing the balance of salary wliicli he would have drawn had he lived to servo out bis term of office.

Ought there not to be sotne means taken to prevent 8uoh horrible accidenta. The pronunciamento of the liquor dealers says that F. M. Holloway, democratie candidate for governor, is "inevery vay favorable to our cause," and that E. EI. Thompson, cindidate for lieatcnant governor, has"suoh a record that the trado can fully rely on his sympathy and support." Oleomargarine ahipments to foreign ports are on the inorease.

The acme of journalisin has boen reaohod by a correspondent of a Harrisburg, Pa., newspaper. He was an expert at ferreting out and reporting burglaries, robberies, etc., and at last. he gave the minute par ticulars of a robbery before the gentleman robbed had yot discovered it, and thus "gave hitnself dead away." He iso't at libi'rty to roport any more. " I will teil you who I thiuk the republicana should nominate, and who I eonsider their strongest man ! he is a true man, a man of principie, an honest man, . and would make a good president for us all.

Judge Brennan appeals to Iriah demócrata throughout the couutry to vote for Gen. Garfield. Hi.s appeal ahould not go unheeded.
