A G. UE AND FEW ER
OR
CHI I LIS AND FEW Z r

The proprietor of this celebrated medi-
| cine justly claims for it q superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether Of short or long standing. He re-
Ters to the entire Western and Southwes
err country to hear him testimony 10 the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will IL fail TO cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In q
great many cases single dose has been
sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with a
perfect restoration of the general health
IL IS, however, prudent and in every case
more certain to cure, If its use is continued
in smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid TO
keep the bowels in good order; should the
patient, however, require cathartic medi-
cine, after having taken three or four doses
of the Tonic, single dose of BULL S VEG
ETBALE FAMILY PILLS viii be sufficient

THH Washington Patriot calls atten-

90. This being an average Of thir-
teen millions year, we will, therefore,
be able to pay off the entire debt in just
one hundred and eighty.nins gears and
sir months, provided the present rate of
taxation is kept up. Last year s
receipts were 1881, 39S, 4Sl.52-one

ment of the debt.

THE RADICAL TICKET.

The "Inteligsnesr office ring held its
Convention and announced its nomma-
tons yesterday. The nominations were
actually made last week and we were
told on Saturday the names of those who
had been selected by the ring as candl-
dates for the Constitutional Convention,
but the mere formality Of making
them appear to be the nominees of the
Republican party was enacted in the
City Council chamber yesterday. After
a great deal of talk about putting up q
uon-partisan ticket and presenting can
didstes for whom Democrats as well as
Republicans could vote, they have put
forward a set Of men who are, from the
beginning to the end, from ARCHIE
CAMPBELL to JOHN G. HBRvEY: the bit
terest Radicals in the comfy. Had
they searched over the State, they
could scarcely have found men more
utterly obnoxious to the Democracy OF
Ohio county than are some Of those
who are presented as candidates. If
their effort had been to effectually deter
any Democrat from forsaking his own
party nominations, they could not have
framed ticket better suited to that end.
Look, for example, at Mr.. a. w.
CAMBBELL, former editor Of the Mtelli-
qsncer, who heads the ticket as candi-
date to represent this Senatorial district
in the Convention. Every Democrat in
the State knows that when Mr.. CAMPBELL
was editor of the organ OF the Radical
party here that paper overlooked with the
most intense hatred OF the Democratic
party. Day after day it heaped abuse
upon many of our most respected citi-
zens, and no one can forget tie cold
blooded malice with which it bounded
down some of our people. By the acct
dent of his position as editor and amid
the confusion OF the war, he acquired
an influence that was always used upon
the side of oppression and outrage. He
melted some and was the apologist Of
all the arbitrary arrests that were made
in this community during the war. He
was the instigator of many and the
defender Of all the wrongs committed
by the Legislature OF the State, and
only began to counsel another policy
when he discovered that his party would
follow no longer, his ambition to be
United States Senator was thwarted,
and he found that a popular reaction
was coming that would sweep Radical
ism from power forever. Certainly it
cannot be expected that Democrats have
forgotten these things. The iron
entered too deep into their souls to leave
no scar. Mr.. CAMPBELL's heart Off he
has such an article about him) never
gave single Democratic throb, nor was
it ever stirred by generous emotion
toward any Democrat. For tive.years he
"breathed forth threatenings and
slaughter" against the very men whose
votes he now seeks to place him in the

Convention as a representative OF a
Democratic district.
There are some Democrats here who,
in consequence of having had reason to
fear Mr.. CAMpBELL's power during the
war, have greatly overrated him. The
members of his own party who know
him best, and have been beyond the
reach Of his baneful influence, have
not given him credit for as much ability
as even the Democrats have been will
ling to concede. He has never received
any important recognition at the hands
of the Republicans. When anything
worth having was in the scale, any
thing he desired to obtain, he was
always thrust aside, and some other
partisan who had more friends received
the coveted prize. The IntclHgenccr
office clique puts him forward now,
knowing that his election is scarcely in
the range of possibility, and thinking
that if he is elected he will not win much
after all. But the idea Of presenting
Mr.. CAMPBELL as candidate for Demo
cratic favor, or that any Democrat in the
Panhandle will forsake his own ticket
to support man whose merciless ma
Lightly prosecuted men even to impriS'
onment and death, for the crime o!
being Democrats, and was the cause OIL
untold suffering in this neighborhood
and section Of the State, is simply
absurd.
And then what shall be said Of "Gov'
ernor" STANTON, Mr.. PECK and Mr.
WOODWARD? Which Of these is an ad
vocate or exponent Of Democratic prin
ciples Which Of these il sent to the
Constitutional Convention would favor
such amendments as the Democratic
voters want? For which OF these should
Democrats cast aside their own regu
larly nominated candidates Bear in
mind that these men are put forward in
purely political contest to catch Dem
ocratic votes. Without attracting the
support of men whose political opinion:
are as widely separated from theirs as
the ends OF the earth are assunder, they
have no hope of election. Then wha,
services has "the old warhorsc" render
ed to the Democratic party that he
should be elected a member Of the
Constitutional Convention Is it that
he has maintained the legality Of the
test-oaths and justified the iniquities o
the registration law? Is it that, seeking
Office at the hands of the Radicals, he
has "out Heroded Herod" in his de
votion to wrong and his denunciation Of
right? When the Democrats OF Ohio
county become stark crazy, they may
vote for Mr.. STANTON, but assuredly nc
one who has still glimmering Of rea
son can so far forget the principles he
| hos ALWAYS loved.

THE OHIO COUNTY CONVENTION

We have never believed that the fact
that citizen was born and has, during
the greater portion OF his life, resided,
in another State, should be considered
as disqualifying him for public office or
as any obstacle to his preferment. We
don't think, however, that the old citl'
zens should be Disseminated against in
order to give place to those who nave
more recently come into the State. In
the Republican Convention, yesterday,
two old citizens of the county and resi-
dents OF the country townships were
proposed as candidates for the Conven-
ton. After a good deal OF buzzlng
around on the part Of the
managers, both these gentlemen
were forced to withdraw in order
to make room for two stalwart Ohloans.
The meeting seemed to be in fact con-
trolled by the Ohio element in our
midst. One recent Ohioan was Presl-
dent; another made the motions and
run the machine in accordance with
the previously arranged programme ;
and two others recently from
the same State were nominated TO
prominent positions. Now, Ohio is a
very good State-to come from; and
we will he the last to hold it any dis
credit to a fellow citizen that he has
resided there; but wasn't there just a
little too much Buckeye in the Conven-
ton yesterday to suit the proprieties?
