coarse abuse and low blackguardism," what the Herald says of the Democrats of this county can not be excelled by the most depraved pimp. Nothing has been heard of Matthew. Tracy, an account of whose absence was published in these columns last spring. His friends believe him dead. Markle still holds the key to the situation.

Her merchants are doing a thriving trade, and her young men still remain in the sphere of single blessedness. Dr. J. II. DePuy, of Wabash, gave us a call last Monday.

He reports tho Democracy of Wabash solid for Hancock and English. So it is everywhere. Mesdames Pomeroy and Blackburn have bought the millinery stock of Miss LizzieRausch and 111 enlarge the same and keep such goods demanded by the trade. I Will Briant, who has been to Colorado, retured last week. Will likes civilization and fast horse3 better than, the wilds of that fur off mountainous country.

Eli Jefferson town- ship, a citizen of this county for the past 33 years, reports the Democracy of old Jefferson solid for Hancock -and English, and are confident of their election. It possible to report the good news from all parts of the county. Suffice it to say that Democrats everywhere are enthusiastic, and as one man predict the entire success of the Democratic party, i The Hancock and English boom still continues. All over the country we hear of Republicans who bslieve that there I should be a change, who have come out and will support these gentlemen in the present campaign. We heard a third party lellow contending that their candidal for Congress would carry Allen county this year.

Considering that Allen county belongs to another district we can all-exclaim, "ignorance is bliss. Peter Karst, of Polk township, returned from last Monday he had been attending the funeral of his father; Martin Karst, who" died at his home in; that place i on the 8th inst, at the ripe age of 03 years. Mesdames Pomeroy and Black burn' have bought the millinery stock of Miss Raush, which they are selling outt cost, preparatory to laying in a large and nice selected stock of goods, kept in the millinery line. All who may wish to purchase goods of any kind in their line should call and see them before buying. 51-3 John Overholt, our worthy candidate for county Treasurer, was in town Saturday.

He has been busy taking care of his crops during the summer and consequently has but little time to spend among the people. It is just as well, however, as the majority of voters are farmers and they like to see farmers busy. Mr. Pease, the account of whose arrest by the TJ. S.

Marshal was published some time ago, for passing counterfeit money as' it was alleged. nas been tried and acquitted of the charge. His rlend3 will be glad of this and it is to be hoped that Pease will never- again be called upon to answer for such an alleged offense, when innocent" It is hot, hotter, hptter.and no mistake. It behooves our people mrouguout me county to take the best care of themselves during these hot days.

meeting of the club to-night at the Mayor's office, in the Engine House. OraMohler returned to-day, after a ten days' visit among friends in Lagrange, and other towns in the north part of the State. Dr. J. F.

Runnels, of Roanoke, leaves that place to-day and takes up his location in this city, where he will enter upon the practice of profession. The "Johnsonizer" who turned his political coat, as every Republican in the county knows, to save the postoffice, still keeps talking about "renegades. Every member of the Democratic Central Committee in the county is directed to the call published in another column. Attend this important meeting. The ladies of the Christian church will hold their social at the residence of Dr.

Furguson, on East Washington street, this (Thursday) evening. All are Invited. Dr. Searles, who for several years has been located ifx this city in the practice of medicine, left with bis family this week for Kelso, where he expects to make his future homo and practice his profession. Hancock and English clubs are being formed all over the country.

Huntington county will produce her share of this abundant crop and when the vote is counted in November it will be found in the Democratic column with an increased majority. Mrs. Brown, the woman who has been on trial at Indianapolis for several days past for complicity in the murder of her husband last year, has been sentenced to death. There seems to be bit little sympathy for the unfortunate creature, especially from her own sex. The day of execution has not been set.

On last Monday two frieght trains collided on the Wabash railroad near the town of Wabash. A stock drover on one of the trains was instantly killed, and the engineer and fireman on one of the trains badly hurt. Twenty cars were thrown from the track, and all regular trains were delayed several hours. Every farmer in the county that wants a first-class job of horse shoeing done should call on Henry Zell, east of the Court House. He makes a specialty of shoeing horses and setting wagon tires, and all work done in this line by him is warranted to be equal to any first-class job.

Prices always as reasonable? as at other shops. W. C. Baker, of Lagro township, Wabash county, made a call at this office last Thursday. Mr.

Baker has been nominated by the Democracy of his county for the position of Representative. He is certainly competent for the position, and if elected would make a creditable legislator of whom the voters of that county would have no cause to feel ashamed. Wabash has in the past been largely Republican, but there is a fair prospect of Mr. Baker's election in October. We place the name of John T.

Strange, the Democratic nominee for Prosecuting Attorney in this judicial circuit, composed of the counties of Blackford, Grant and nuntington, in our list of candidates this week. Mr. Strange is a man of ability, and possessed with the energy to make a gocd and efficient Prosecuting Attorney, and will receive enough rotes to elect him beyond any question of doubt. He will visit this county before the election and give our Democratic readers an opportunity to form bis acquaintance. Dr.

C. Engelman, Dixon; Ohio, son of Michael Engelman, of Clearer eek township, spent Sabbath' with his relatives in this county. The doctor has an extended acquaintance in Paulding and Van Wert counties of that State, and in Allen, this State, and politically is a Republican but says he will vote for Hancock and English, and that many Republi-I cans of that part of Ohio and Indiana have declared their intention of doing the same thing, and that judging from his acquaintance and observation there is a fair prospect of Hancock carrying Garfield's State. He says besides objecting to the Republican nominee, a great many Republicans believe that the time has come for a change in the administration of Government. It is agreed- all around that a more contemptible and unwarranted insult as never thrown in the face of the Democracy of Huntington county than that which appeared in the Herald of June 29th In which the editors of that sheet said: is no species of crime no fraud no perjury no thievery 'no yilllanny of any kind, to which these unhung scoundrels wil not resort in order to achieve lb is but seldom that men will thus openly Insult the members of an opposite political It is generally believed that gentlemen accord to others tho right to political views and that gentlemen will also treat their opponents with respect.

When the editors of party papers become so debased as to openly insult their readers with such stuff it is not much wonder that even their own party should turn their backs upon the cause they advocate. rrChasi-Sehcepper is, giving mnsjcJ lesronj co. ec xei sireew -u aptrurviance is 'restless and pines for the North Poll this hot weather.

Trade with your home merchants. Help build up your own town and county. Don't spend a dollar away from home when "you can get what you want at home. This is business, and is an evidence that you are interested in your county, where your home and interests lie. This is our motto, and for this reason we exclude all foreign "adds." Do our merchants appreciate these things? Gentlemen, we can place your advertisements before four thousand readers.

Ola and; Ansel Thomas have returned from5 Fulton county, where they went a few days ago to gather huckleberries. They left their team for the reason they could not see to drive it home. Cause, too much shumao, which produced an unnatural enlargement pf the face, obstructing the vision, or eye sight. They are of the opinion that heads put on in such a way are not any ore desirable than when done in a fist fight. j- We see that rousing Democratic ratification meetings are being held all over the country.

Thus far not a Democrat has forsaken the ranks of the Democratic party and gone over to Garfield's party. Not so, however, with thousands of voters who have heretofore been identified with the Republican party. Not a day goes by but what we see accounts of this class of voters coming over to Hancock and English. The people want a change and it is the people who are determined to have it. In company with Mr.

Shank, of the firm of Humbert. O'Leary and Shank, we visited the farm of John Roche, north of the city a few days ago to witness an Osborne self-binder at work. It was the first machine of the kind that we had seen in operation, and after following it around the field for several rounds, we are convinced that nothing invented for the taking care of and cutting wheat could beat the machine we saw at work. The time is coming when self-binding reapers will go into general use, judging from what those who have used them this harvest say of their. workings.

These would-be third party chaps who are traveling over the county abusing the Democratic nominees and reporting that this and that member of the party has gone back on the Democratic candidates, are reminded that it is best to tell the and while they are soliciting Democrats to join the third party, they should also tell them of the efforts made by the so-called leaders of their party to sell out to the Republicans of this township last It is a noticeable fact that the fight of these fellows is all directed against the from the position of their leaders in the past we half suspect they are working altogether in the interest of the Republican party in this The game won't work. A fellow by the name of Alonzo White, of Rockcreek township, was arrested and tried before 'Squire Anson, last Tuesday, charged with the offense of carrying concealed weapons. The State made out her case, and the 'Squire imposed a fine of ten dollars on White. He did not have the money, and as a natural consequence, went to jail where he must stay unless the fine is paid or replevied; It seems that White is a naughty chap, as we are informed he stands charged with two other offenses. One of these is for a surety of the peace.

The affidavit being filed by oneN. S. Hoag, who swears that he has just cause to fear that the naughty Alonzo will do him bodily har-m. Thereby hangs a tale, which led to the charge of Hoag against White The trial has "not yet come off and- it would be useless for a I newspaper scribbler to speculate on the probable results. It has been supposed that with the potato bug, the currant worm and the Hessian fly, and other destructive insects that infest the country, each one having a.

special mission to destroy certain crops, that this section had its full proportion of pests, hut a new and dangerous' one has made its appearance which bids fair to destroy the; important crop of 'clover seed, besides materially injuring, the crop of clover hay. This "devil" is a grub or worm about three-fourths of an inch long, which takes lodgement in the root of the plant, severing it just at the surface of the ground, and preventing tbe maturity of the stock, which puts forth no blossom, but presents bald heady erf a tf lif tlsh color and produces no seed. The stalks attacked are 'easily pulled up, but the grub has already done its work, and its destruction, amounts to nothing. Last, year 'the same phenomenon was noticed in many clever fields, but was in most instances -attributed to the drouth, or other than the real.ca use.

As we go to press the following prices are paid: Wheat, 85c; cloverseed, prime $3.50 corn, 35c flaxseed, 81.00 timothy oats, 25c; rye 50c; flour, $1.50 per sack; salt, $1,50 per barrel rock salt, $2.25 per barrel Louisville cement, $3 00 per barrel; hogs, $350. What the Herald Says. While Republican nominees are running over the county asking Democrats to vote for them, their organ, the Huntington Herald, is saying of Democrats "There is no species of crime no fraud no perjury no thievery no villiany of any kind, to which these unhung scoundrels will not resort in order to achieve success." We believe in according to every man the right to his own political views without abusing our opponents, and this dirty and villianious denunciation of the Herald will be remembered by every Democrat in Huntington county when he comes to the polls this fall.

i Hancock and English Clubs. At a meeting of the young Democrats of this city last Thursday evening, permanent organization of a Hancock and English club was effected by electing Wm. Wilhelm, President; Thos. J. Buchanan, Secretary; Harmon Drover, The remainder of the officers will be selected at the next meeting, which will be held at the Engine house on this (Thursday) evening.

Ed. Whitmore, Harmon Drover and Wm. Brady are appointed to solicit membership. We are informed that already the club numbers nearly one hundred members. All young men who cast their first Presidential vote this year and all boys over the age of fifteen years are eligible to membership in this club.

The club, when fully organized, will purchase lamps for use in the coming campaign, which can be secured at a cost of from 10 to 15 cents each. In addition to this club of boys and young men who cast their first vote this year, we are informed that other township clubs are being formed in the county. This is a move in the right direction and we hope to receive reports from a number of townships during the next sixty days of the formation of Hancock and English clubs. We will be I pleased to assist the young Democracy of the county in person, information or through the columns of The Democrat, in forwarding the work of a thorough organization of these campaign clubs. Let the good work go on and the old Democracy give It all the encouragement they possibly can.

All of our old subscribers are also called on to renew.

Rev. Edwards is a graduate of Franklin; College, and of the Baptist Theological Semniary of Chicago. While senior at college, he won the prize of the State Oratorical contest.

ajjd Culj ture' Ji Ita motto, IBlood; on the Moon. Alul-Af'K iiiW.V.u;. It Is, not pur purpose to give news paper notoriety to a naif dozen individuals that lire in the east end, who made the hours hideous last Sunday and Sunday night In one of the most disgraceful quarrels and fights that ever cursed any community. In two instances the participants were man and wife, and the obscene and filthy conversation, cursing and swearing used toward each other would have shamed the lowest and most degraded of human creatures. Some of the parties have interesting children, but it seems that even their presence did not stay the avalanche of the lowest kind of talk, 'and that their presence only added rath and fuel to the flame of passion, which only ended with the exhaustion of I tbe depraved creatures engaged in thedisgraceful fracas.

It would1 seem jthat there should be a remedy for the protection of society against such (debased scenes in their midst! If individuals who claim the title of men and women have no more respect for themselves and their children than to fight like cats and dogs, there should be some way of teaching them a severe and prompt lesson! that forever after would make it a terror for such evil doers. The only sympathy that goes out in such cases for the innocent children who have such parents to rear them up in ignorance, and amidst such scenes. War jOn the Wabash. For years the feeder-dam on the Wabash river, near Lagro, has been a source great annoyance and the cause or much damage to the farmers by reason of the overflow of water and the destruction of crops. Well, these gentlemen who reside along the banks of thai classic stream In Lagro township have come to the.

conclusion, as have: also many of the citizens of the town jof Lagro, that they will not stand, these loses any longer, so last Satarday night they banded together and undertook the job of cutting the dam, but before the work was completed the Wabash county Sheriff with his posse of deputies came down ou the irate dam despoil- ers and arrested seven of them before they could make their escape. Nothing daunted by the action of the Sheriff and police, another effort was about to be made to accomplish the work by the masses, which was only obviated by a strong guard that was kept all: day Sunday and Sunday night on the ground. i At the last account we had from the seat of marshaling termination war, the citizens were their forces with the de-that the old dam must succumb and that if necessary the Sheriff and his guests would be overpowered if they offered any resistance to the working party. We know nothing about the merits of the cause of the people or of the authorities, but we think that unless cool judgment and common sense, mixed with a goodly amount of forbearance, takes the place of the heated and angry feeling that now pervades the society of that region, a breach will be created in society and possibly with old friends in the past, which may be a source of long and' bitter feelings, many law suits and loss of property.

Boys, Tiie Democrat extends a welcome hand. We are enlisted now for the fray, which to our enemies will end In the "melancholy days of November," and which will bear no more relation to their political success than. Dan and Beersheba did to the land of Judea.

In saying this much we hope that we will not be regarded facetious, for we assure our political antagonists that the young Democrats who cast their first vote this year are in dead earnest and that their candidate for President will not go in by a scratch this time, but by a majority never equalled since the elections of 1840. Rally," is the watchword, and like the signal of Roderick Due in the Highlands of Scotland, it will be answered from Maine to California with the votes of twenty-one states for Hancock and English in the golden days of November. Young men, from every township of Huntington county, we invite you to join in the march that is sweeping over the country.

As to its local and miscellaneous columns, they will be found full, with no step backward. If this suits you, try us one year, young Ask your neighbors also to become subscribers.

Cowgil, after serving only one term in Congress, has been shelved, and Major Steele, of Grant county, nominated by the Republicans in his stead. Cowgil may feel a little sore just at present, but after the first Tuesday in November, when the scalp of Major Steele will be found dangling from old Jim Slack's belt, Cowgil will thank God and his Republican friends for his defeat in the convention, while Steele will wish he never had been bom. We have heretofore called attention to the reckless manner in which the overgrown small boy rides along our sidewalks upon velocipedes, bicycles, or by whatever other name they are known. They dash along at a rate that would try the mettle of aGrst-class trotter, especially when they are de-scendingJeffersorf and Charles streets endangering the lives of pedestrians, and causing a feeling of uneasiness and insecurity in all within hearing.

It is said that a large number of Mr. Smith's army comrads and past political associates who have been voting the Republican ticket will also take the same steps, believing now is the time for the people to vote a change in the administration of the Government We call the attention of the editor of the Herald to the fact that "renegades' are getting more numerous in 1S80, than "Johnsonlzers" were in 1806. And Still They Come. For. the benefit of our neighbor who presides over the columns of the Herald, we desire to inform him that Gen.

J. G. Grindley, is out for Hancock and English. The General has, up to the nomination of Hancock, been a strong Republican and acted as chairman of one of Conkling's conventions prior to the Chicago convention. He is now president of a Hancock club in his own city, Utica.

Upon accepting the position' the General among other things said: "I never went into any movement with greater pleasure than this one for the purpose Of organizing to support such a good soldier as General Hancock. I congratulate the Democratic party on giving us a chance to vote for such a man. His election is a foregone conclusion. He was elected as soon as he was nominated. He will give us a superb soldier President.

He willi receive the votes of the blue and tbe gray. His utterances during the war showed him to be a statesman. Those who served under him will be glad to rally to his support Another Tumble to Hancock and En. jrlish. 1 The Hon.

Robert J. Haire, Prosecuting Attorney of Jackson county, Michigan, and who was Chairman of the State Central Committee of the Greenbach party in State two years past, comes ont squarely for Hancock and English. Here is what he says: jj The Democratic party by its leaders and in its has, since 18GS, opposed all the forms of monopoly, centralization and military despotism (except that it has in some instances ignored the money question), and its platform is not now what I would wish it. Yet at the present time, the only opportunity I can see to check the progress of the Republican party and not indirectly assist it in its success, is offered by the Democratic organization, rr In the nomination of Gen. Hancock I recognize the opportunity to forever heal all sectional wounds, and render permenent the fruits of peace by elevating to the Presidency one of the noblest of Union soldiers, and whose love for civil liberty, as shown, in his order of November 29, 1867, and other declarations of a similiar character, is a "sufficient guarantee that under his administration elections will be untrameled and our laws maintained without revolution, or bloodshed." At the present rate they are coming into the Democratic ranks we will soon be at a loss to know where to put them all.

The people want a change, and they turn to Hancock and English as the men who they can and will trust! CORRESPONDENCE. BjctrTFTOX, June 10, 1880. Ed. write from this point a few items of news. This is a lively town, it shows great business energy and ability and large business prosperity.

The Republicans also ratified, orated and glorified their party and candidates in Bluffton this week. It was no good. The wheat harvest is pretty well in, and all concede a good crop.

The Universalist church of which Rev. Wm. Tucker, D. is pastor, organized a Sunday School a few weeks since and the present indications are that it will be a decided success. The Presbyterian church that has been vacant for some time have secured a pastor and are prospering.
