Addison Advertiser December 5, 1866
DIED
In this village. On Friday, Nevember 30, 1866, of Dropsy, Mrs. DAVID SMITH, in the 63rd year of her age.
On Sunday, November 25, 1866, on Addison Hill, CORA AGNES, infant daughter of CHARLES C. and ROBY BROWN, aged 2 months and 13 days.
In Tuscarora, October 10, 1866, of Chronic Diarrhea, (contracted in the service) Sergt. AMOS CARR Jr., 2d N.Y. Vet. Cavalry, aged 23 years, 6 months, and 11 days.
Sergt. CARR enlisted with Capt. Sanford, and was mustered into the service at Saratoga Springs, October 10th, 1863. He served his country faithfully and took part in the long and tedious Red River campaign, enduring all the privations of a soldiers life without a murmur. On this campaign, he contracted the disease which finally caused his death. He remained in the service until mustered out with his company, and arrived home in December, 1865. He saw the noble flag of his country triumphant but alas like many of our brave patriots, he had to yield up his life a sacrifice to that triumph.

Sadly Demoralized
Since the recent Elections, the New York World, the leading Democratic organ of the Nation, has become sadly demoralized. It sees nothing but the most disastrous defeat – Waterloo fashion, with their present candidates – Seymour and Blair. It will not be comforted. Each edition brings forth still further and deeper lamentations from the "wabbling marble."
A deputation of the "??terfied "(/) have waited upon Mr. Seymour, and he announced himself willing to allow his name to be withdrawn provided it is the wiah of his fellow Democrats, and another proviso is that Frank Blair, shall likewise dig way "from the wrath to come." This he knows Frank won't do, for he imagines it to be a big thing to get the nomination, and he is "bound to stick" if he "don't get a bean." Seymour says to the deputation "you know I was nominated against my wishes: The leaders did not wish to get burned in this contest themselves, so they placed Seymour in nomination, for the same purpose that the Monkey need the cat's paw, to pull chestnuts out of the fire. They wanted the chestnuts, and they knew that if he was beaten, he would not feel bad; because he was familiar with the sensation, but if successful they would make him give up the chestnuts. The World really feels bad over the prospects and is bound to have new candidates put up, but the majority of the Democratic papers, lead by Brick Pomeroy's Democrat are opposed to any such chenge, and "Brick" is again hilarious over his chance to give the World another jab so he comes out "red hoter." The following is a sample, alluding to the election of Grant:
"If he is elected by unfair means, or use of illegal power – if he does not receive a majority of the 317 votes of the Electoral College, fairly cast – if he seks to override a majority in America, he dies before his term of office shall one-fourth expire, and the party that would thus unjustly elevate him to powe shall be strangled in the blood it cries for."
The Democratic candidate for Vice President – Frank P. Blair – takes the ???. In a public speech delivered by him on Friday last, from the piazza of his own residence in St. Louis, he said:
"Alluding to the recent Radical stories, he regarded them as precursors of the defeat of that party. Democracy, he said, would win. They had everything at stake in this struggle, and if they failed, the Republic would fall with them; military dictatorship would be established.Grant would never leave the Presidential mansion alive"
Resder, do you consider the man who would utter such language a safe man for you to trust with the affairs of the Government for the next four years? The Democracy are sadly demoralized, and they know not which way to turn but "out of their own mouths shall they be condemned."
A Chance for the Advocate
The Steuben Farmer's Advocate, the leading Democratic Organ of this county, published at Bath, having (probably a line missing here, was at bottom of page, typist's note) efficient District Attorney John H. Butler, we find in the Steuben Courier of last week, the following reward of $800, in gold, offered to the proprietors of the Advocate to produce the proof:
"Since our virtuous neighbors across the way profess to know so much about Mr. Butler, our candidate for District Attorney, we propose to pay them well for proof of the charges laid to him. We will pay to their order, in gold, (as Greenbacks are no temptation to the repudiating Democracy) the following sums for respectable proof of the charges preferred in the last issue of that paper, the questions to be decided by a Committee of three respectable Democrats:
1st - $200 for proof that Mr. Butler ever authorized or solicited any person to offer the publishers of the Advocate any sum of money whatever as blackmail for the purposes alleged in that paper.
2d - $200 for proof that Mr. Butler is worth $8,000 more now than he was at the commencement of his term of office as District Attorney.
3d - $200 for proof that Mr. Butler has ever received a dollar, directly or indirectly, from any person charged with crime, in consideration of not prosecuting or in any way favoring criminals or alleged criminals.
4th - $200 for a purchaser of his property at one-half the price set upon it by the Advocate.
Now then gentlemen, come down with your proof, or withdraw your infamous and contemptible charges. There is no bribery. The people will require a little proof on these points, and we propose to make it an object for the Advocate men to produce it.
Tony A Law Maker
A. L. Underhill, Editor of the Steuben Farmer's Advocate, the leading Democratic Organ of this county, in an article in last week's Advocate, instructing his readers, on the requirements requisite to be a legal voter, coolly informs them that four months in the country is the requirement. Tony would make a first class Inspector of Election for New York City. This does not compare very favorably with his Hindoo doctrine which he was so loud-mouthed about. He then wanted twenty-one years naturalization laws. "Time changeth all things." – even Tony.
Soldiers Mass Meeting!

GRANT & COLFAX
Everybody is invited to come for this is expected to be the grandest time ever held in this vicinity. It is expected that 3,000 "Boys in Blue" will be present, and a Grand Torch Light Procession will take place in the Evening.
We received this announcement just at the time of going to Press, therefore are unable to give further details.
THE RECENT ELECTIONS – We have not yet received the entire official figures on the recent Elections, but we have sufficient to approximate the actual result. Pennsylvania will stand at about 10,000 Republican majority – all but three Counties are officially given, at 10,098. Indiana is about 1,000 Republicans. Ohio about 18,000 Republican. Nebraska about 1,200 Republican. We also receive news that Allen A, Bradford, Republican is elected Delegate to Congress from Colorado.
As the spirit of the Rebel Democracy goes out at the South it rends them. We have details of the brutal murder of the Hon. George W. Smith of the Texas Constitutional Convention; of the assassination of the Sheriff and Parish Judge of St. Mary's Parish, Louisiana; of the murder of a South Carolina State Senator in broad daylight, on the platform of a railroad car; and of the murder of a Deputy sheriff in Arkansas – an old and highly respectable citizen, who was tied to a negro, so that a single shot gave them a common death. Beside these we have the disarming of United States troops bu Quantrell's band, Ku Klu Klan outrages in North Carolina, and a variety of minor occurrences, which serve to show that they have not heard of the elections yet in the regions where Ku Klux most do flourish.
ERIE RAILWAY DIRECTORS – The following are the new Board of Directors of the Erie Railway Company elected on Tuesday. Jay Gould, A. S. Diven, James Fiske, W. F. A. Lane, J. C. B. Davis, Wm. M, Tweed, Peter B. Sweeney, Daniel S. Miller, Homer Ramsey, John Hilton, Geo. M. Graves, John Gapson, Chas. G. Sisson, O. W. Chapman, Henry Thomson, Wm. B. Skidmore, G. M. Diven
