How is that for a fair vote T The same rate of increase all over the State would show a gaiu of-more than 75,000 over the vote of 1878. j A prominent grain man of this city told j j . . c . e ! j-our correspondent to-day of a party ot uejrroea that clime into Indiana the morn-, ing of the election from Springfield and j -poiutson the Wabash road, there were TIIUEK CAE LOADS OF THEM. Thev returned the next lav, and beiu detained at Tolono by collision, told the i iH'opl, theie ail about their trip. They were distributed through rouptaiu couu tv whicli Went Kepublicau by a small ma- ; jority, the representative being elected by only twenty-nine plurality. As an evidence of the slenderuess of the threads upon which haug not only ev ctlastiug things but those of temporary affairs as well, the Kepublicau majority of fourteen on joint ballot in the Legisla- ure depeuds upon an aggregate plurality of uot much over 300. Fountain county elected its Representative by twenty-nine plurality, St. Joseph aud Starke by thir ty-one. Perry by forty-four, Noble and Ripley counties by fifty-eight each, Spen cer by fifty-nine, while the Senator from Carroll, White and Pulaski, comes in by only eighteen plurality. These figures are full of thought to the average politi cian, and demonstrate how valuable a" thing is well directed work. The local Republican politicians, aided by the News, are endeavoring to create the impressiou that Democrats are taking aud scheming about effecting a FUSION WITH TflE NATIONALS, by splitting up the electoral ticket, and outsiders are taking up the matter and throwing their gigantic intellect on the .scheme. Democrats are uot engaged in that work; as Senator McDonald said when a cheeky National suggested the withdrawal of the Democratic electoral ticket aud uniting on Weaver's and Cham bers', such a move, or anyttiing iu that direction, would result iu a virtual disso lution of the party. We think there is a too good a chance to carry the electoral vote for Hancock and Euglish to fool witji exploded powder. . The Radicals have getteu up a little blank book, which is intended to be are cord of the Republican voting at the pro duct at which it is used. The first page is to contain the name of the precinct, county and State ; the names of the Uni ted States super risors ; of the inspectors and registrar and returning officer. Then the body of the book is to contain "the names of voters who exhibited to us a Re publican ticket and voted in our pres ence.'' The last leaf contains a certificate touching the electiou, to be signed by the Republican local committee, and a memo randum is annexed relative to any dis turbance at the polls. Such a record, if accurately kept, would do no barm to any oue, but the fact that such preparatious have been made iu ad vance shows that the Republican man agers are preparing evidence in advance touching the elections. Ital. Observer. Mr. F. M. Winchester, of Union county,' is iu Philadelphia attending a medical school. He writes to his uncle, Cyrus H. Wolfe, living iu this county, that the Re publican committee in Philadelphia has offered to pay his expenses home and back and one dollar pel-day while absent, if he will come home and vote the Repub lican ticket. Mr. Wolfe, m respectable and warthy citizen of Meckleuburg county, authorizes this statement. . What has been accomplished iu Indiana and boldly attempted in Florida will be attempted in North- Carolina. Republican success is only possible by a systematic pollutiou of the ballot box. This desperate aud corrupt party will go to the extreme lim it in its mad effort to retain power. The- measure of - its success in North j Carolina will depend upon Democratic ! organization and vigilance.

He did not wisli the success ot the Democrat ic party to depend ion the solidity of any section, but to rest on a majority in all sections. As to the cry that the" Democratic party will destroy the in dustries of the country, he said the Democratic party has been in power fivj years and has has not impaired or ruined any industry. The tariff ought not to be a party issue. Our people are averse to direct taxation, but the tantl necessary to provide tor pay- uient of the public debt is so great that it is necessarily protective. The tariff question affects sections, and those sections will send a prohibition ist or free-trader to Congress, be he Democrat or Republican, according as they think their interests dictate. Centralization of power is the most important feature in this canvass. The power of the government has been found sufficient to settle all in ternal difficulties and to put down the great rebellion, and he did not see what a strong government is wanted for unless to put down the people." MISCELLANEOUS. The State Fair oh Thursday was attended by a very large crowd. The Raleigh News & Observer estimates it at 10.000.' It also uronounccs the fair a great success. The attractions were varied and interesting. There J were twenty-eight entries for the pig eon match. A fine gun was the prize There Were tics which will be shot off. The races were four in number and were spirited. Four teams entered for the match for the prize flag. The LaFayette Light Infantry, of Fay ctteville, were the winners. The prize plume for the best single shot was won by a member of the 6ame company. The winning team was composed of Thomas Lewis, H. M. Depo, B. T. Bcasley, Joseph Flowers and W. R. Clark. The score was 22 the target being a United States reg ulation. The winner of the plume was Thomas Lewis. A Delicate Matter. Supposing that you are in society with a lady of a certain age, and that you do not know whether 'she be an old maid or not, ought you to address her us Mad ame or Mademoiselle? If the person be pretty, aud if her "certain age" cad uot be looked upon with indiffer ence, then call her Madamoiselle. If the person be ugly and uulovely call her Madame? it is only gallaot to seem to suppose that she has been the object of sincere devotiou aud of an aflectiou founded ou tho qualities of her heart. On the other hand, it may be maintained that one should always address a woman in these conditions as Madame, which is the object of her dreams if she be a maiden, and of her pride if she be a married woman. i California's wool crop this year (spring and summer) will be about 35,000,000 pouud3, -The total value of it promises to be nearly doublo that of any proceed ing wool crop.
