JfeJffiBFy piaMctlep. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 10th, 1877. J. VAN 8LYKE, Editor COUNT* PULIT1C& But four weeks more remain be fare the Election, and yet but little has 1>eeu said in relation therento among the masses of the people. The Repub­ licans have held their Convention and |jut a straight party ticket in the field. iThe Convention called over the signa­ ture of u Vox PopulC was run by two Or three bummers, and was a total failure, and then the Greenback Con­ vention came forward, aad instead of putting up a ticket of straight Green­ back men, and men who were known to be with them, the}' adopted the ruin­ ous policy of any tiling to win, and the result is the majority of the candidates on their ticket are men who are not In sympathy with their movement at all, only so far as ft may tend to help them to office. Now the PLAINDEALER IS independ­ ent in all these fights, having longsince made up our mind to go for the best man, irrespective of the party to which he #night belong, but at the sanli^ time we cannot help but detest the man or set of men who make a great howl for a certain principal, and are then willing to kick it all over for the sake of a vic­ tory that cannot do the least particle of good to themselves or the cause they advocate. As we said before, it is now scarcely four weeks before the election comes off, and we predict that during that time some warm work will be done.-- •That there is music in the air is evi­ dent by the mutterinifs of thunder all around the sky. The next two weeks will bring something to the surface.-- We shall wait aud see. P. S. Since writing the above we have received a call for a Democratic County Convention, which can be found Id another column. f&'The following is a complet list of ;he classes of models destroyed in the patent office fire of Sept. 24,1877.

EDITOR PLAIN-DEALER.--Again we life having a change of weather and the dry spell is broken, of which no one is sorry unless it be the blacksmiths who were setting a great many tires. Lanning & Pratt took the Premium at the County Fair for the best show of Horse Shoes. People having horses that they want shod in the best of style or those haying them that they can't get shod anywhere else, will do well to give them a call as they can put on any kind of a shoe or shoe any horse. The Literary Society will meet Thursday evening, Oct. 18th. Below we give the programme: Open with Music by Mr. Rowley and Miss Brink. Select Reading, by Miss Clara Ashton. Quartette Singing. C. Ashton Leader. Essay, Miss Birdsell. Debate,between A. Thompson and . Chip Basket, Miss Mansfield. Debate, between Mr* J. Morton and M. D. Cadwell. Query Box, Miss Brink. Second Quartette, W. H Beardsley Leader. Those in want of a Clothes Wringer will do well to call upon E. M. Thorny son who has four of the best Wringers in the market. He will also repair old ones, putting in new rolls very cheap. ODD JB. HARVARD. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--A ten year old son of Mr. John Bendt was killed by being run over by an engine Mon­ day morning. The boy was walking by the side of the track and as the switch engine came along he started to jump on and slipped and fell under the engine, the wheels passing over his chest killing him instantly. Esq. Smith, in the absence of the Coroner, called a jury and held an inquest.-- Verdict, accidental death caused by en gine running over the boy, through carelessness of boy. No blame is at­ tached to the Railroad Company. Mrs. Chester Blackman, daughter of O. C. Diggins, is very sick. Capt. Stephen Stewart, formerly Treasurer of McIIenrv county, was in town Saturday night. Remark was made that there was no change in '*Steve," when he said no change about him only a half dollar. About 25 left for the Exposition on Tuesday morning. U. T. K. i&^News comes from Washington that several memorials, "numerously signed," will be presented to the next Congress, proposing that the Presiden­ cy shall be abolished, and that instead we shall have a Cabinet composed of •even secretaries, (why limit it to •even?) all having equal authority and no superior officer, four to be elected by the House and three by the Senate, whfr shall execute the laws, supervise the < government, and hold office for two years. Well, perhaps the people want such a change, but we still believe that there will be another Presidential slectiou in 1880. 19*From the Columbus Enquirer, of Georgia, comes news of a new kind of strike. It appears that the merchants furnish supplies to the farmers on a twelve month credit system, but charge a profit of 50 per cent, on all goods thus furnished. This the farmers claim is , exorbitant and so hold to their cotton, demanding an equally high price for the crop, upon which the goods have «been advanced. Quite a large combi­ nation has already been formed, by the planters aud this organization is con­ tinually increasing. FURNITURE AT AUCTION.

Clonk Searles. making a specialty at Mrs jWReferring to Roscoe Conklln's convention in Rochester, last week, and Conkling's undignified part In the' same, the New York Exprcw truth­ fully remarks: "Conkling is so eaten up witb personal ambition and envy, aud so embittered by personal spites aud revenges, that he loses his temper and Imperils the existense of his party to punish his rivals. The pettiness, the spite, the malignity of his temper degrade htm from the rank of states­ man to the level of a common petti- fogger and scold/' Apprentice Wanted.
