nbio and PENNSYLVANIA,
PORTLAND.

The result of the elections Tuesday,ln ONO
and Pennsylvania is extremely gratifying 10
tAe Republicans and must oe correspondmgly
Giseouragng to the Democracy who mad CEN
1ared all of their hopes on these two States.
Tile majority of Gen. Noyes for Governor
viii reach $4,000, and even promises to ex-
ceed that figure. In 1867, before the Presi-
dental election of 1868, Gov. Hayes majority
in Ohio was about 1000. In 1868, Gen.
Grants majority was 1900. 1t is evident
therefore, that the Democracy can have no
hope OF carrying the Buckeye State in 1872.
In Pennsylvania the result of the election
was considered extremely doubtful, owing Ia
local troubles, particularly in Philadelphia
but thelesult is all that could be reasonably
desired, the Republicans having majority
rarely exceeded in congressional years. In
1901 the Democrats carried the State by a
l2aJority OF nearly one thousand. The year
following Gen. Grants majority was 2S,9S2
From the result OF Tuesdays election, the De
mocracy can have little hope of carrying the
Keystone State in 1872 Upon the issue in
these otdIes; lne Deinocrdtlc oiSauo nave ooh'
stantly stated that the Presidential elections
would turn in 1872. They must now concede
that their hope of success is gone. All the
elections held thus far are far more favorable
to Republican success in 1872 than eithel
those OF 1868 or 1867.
Against the six votes of Texas, over which
the Democracy are jubilant, the Republican
may confidently set the twenty-one of Obi
and the twenty-six OF Pennsylvania.
When the new dispensation of the new de
parture was announced the Democratic OF
gans favCring that dogma heard thunderin,
approval from Maine to Texas. The thunde
in Maine, Ohio and Pennsylvania is OF a yer,
different character.

An Unprotected system.

Do not fancy because you feel strong that you are
mpregnabe to sickness. Whole neighborhoods are
frequently Frustrated at this by malarious
vers. Vigorous muscles and strong sinews, broad
shoulders and sound lungs.are defence against the
mephitic vapors of autumn. Frames which have
withstood the summer heat may sdccumb now.
Many an athletic man, whose family depends for its
support on his industry, lies PROSTATE, weak
and helpless as babe. under the periodical assaults
OF chills and fever, bilious remittent fever This
could not be il all were wise enough to provide
against such contingency by toning and terrifying
the system with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
approved vegetable tonic is absolutely harmless. SO
that 1t is sheer folly not to take it safeguard a.
season when diseases of the liver. the stomach the
bowels and indeed all the viscera organs are gener-
ally prevalent. To keep the system in order and in-
sure health, or to put it in order when this precau-
ton has been neglected, is the duty OF every human
being who values lie. For both these purposes Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is designed and it answe
both. Petty local dealers endeavoring, in many
parts otthe country to substitute preparations made
OF imp1re and dangerous materials in its stead.
Give them wide berth. They are prepared by un-
skilful experimenters, who want to turn penny at
the expense OF the public health.

collections on Sundays and free pews. Taxes
drive poor people from church. Methodism
will greatly prosper under such plan.
Rev. DR.. Butler of the American and For.
eign Christian Union then addressed the con.
yention in behalf of that organization. He
gave an interesting account of the progress of
Professionalism in Austria, Spain, Italy, India,
and Mexico especially in the latter. Roman
ism is to be the great question of the next quar-
ter of century. Protestants should awake.
"Manuscript Sermons" Resolyed-That the
growing practice of substituting the reading of
manuscripts for preaching is without. scfiptural
authority. unmethodistical and damaging to
the efficiency OF the pupil
This resolution drew forth lengthy and an
mated discussion. 1t was opposed by Hon.

Portland, Rev. A. Sanderson, OF Portland, and
others. and favored by Rev. Stephen Allen, Of

with this convention, and no doubt great goo,

and that ministers should be preachers of tn
