for @0LD CLAY WH1os,7 The dear old

sympathetic beings democrats are, anyhow.
In the plenitude of their generosity, they
even embrace Father Trimble, and exhort
the Americans to vote for him, and vindi-
cate their honor by permitting Medill to
occupy the Governors Chair for another
term. But it won't do. The attempt is
little too barefaced the cloven foot sticks
through the shallow covering, and shows
the strait to which the inventors are re-
duced. The Wings have fought too long,
face to face with the self-styled Democra
cy; and know them too we'll to be caught
in such silly trap.
As for Trimble, it is sheer folly to think
of wheedling Americans into the support
of man nominated by few pro-slavery
citizens of Cincinnati, and then to cap the
climax, they try to palm him upon par
ty for which he has no sympathy, VIZ
do not believe that Trimble will receive
thirty votes in Jefferson County.

B6yaThe Mexican method Of cure for
the yellow fever consists in. having the
body continually and gently rubbed by at
least two assistants, !so,that an eqpable heat
by friction is maintained, while at the
same time sweet oil and lemon, juice are
administered internally in an equal proper,
ton, and as rapidly as the patient can
swallow the dose. Lime juice is said tc
be more eficacious than that of lemon
when it can.be procured. In Guayaquai
it is also usual to apply the lime juice ex
ternally, the patient being even literally
bathed in it, when. sufficient quantity o

From Tuscarawas and Harrison counties
we have the most cheering intelligence in
relation to the triumphant success of the
Republican ticket, and the consequent sue
cess of Gen. s. W. Bostwick, our popular

that the Republican ticket will be elected
by from 1900 to 1000 majority. Thetal-
ented and deservGdly popular J.. D. Cattcll

ticket, The Buckeye State says, "Every
day brings fresh accessions to our ranks,
from the Democratic party. We hesitate
not to say that we shall carry the county

county we intend not to be outdone by our
neighbors in fidelity to the cause of truth

roll up larger majority this fall, for the

by day and by night, canvassing the coun-

false rumors. 1t is regular battle, be-
tween the people on the one side, and
