The Cincinnati Ohio Gazette brings
forward the name of Hon. Joseph
Medill, of Chicago, as n proper man
for President OF the United States.
The Go=ette's argument is ]: As Medill
was the choice Of both parties for the
office of Mayor of Chicago When that
city was suffering from the great fire,
her business prostrated, her govern
ment demoralized, and an honest,
capable man was needed to keep the
municipal thieves in check, and when
elected he proved to be the right man
i'll the right place, therefore he would
make good President of these United
States. Gen. Sherman has also been
mentioned in connection the office, as
we'll as VIM. Orton, present President
Of the Western Union Telegraph Co.

ALBANY REGISTER.

A certain bill, allowing 4 majority
of the directors of a railway company
to reside out of the State, it is charged
by the Oregont0n, was passed by both
Houses of the Oregon Legislature, re-
ceived the signature of the Speaker of
the House, and was by him forwarded
to the President of the Senate, with q
message saying that he had so signed
it, the bill and message reaching the
Presidents desk before the adjourn
ment of said Senate; but that in the
face OF these facts, and the further fact
that when it was observed that he was
about to adjourn the Senate without
affiXing his signature to the bill, a
Senator arose at his desk and called his
awaiting his signature, and requesting
him to af1ix such signature before ad-
journing the Senate, the Senate was
adjourned by the President without
such signature being affixed. The
question is not as to the importance of
the bill if the bill was duly passed by
both Houses, and properly enrolled
it was the plain duty of Col. Cornelitfs,
the President of the Senate. to sign it
the moment it was presented to him
i'll the open Senate-he had no choice
in the matter. Ifthe OFegoni"t's state
ments are true, then Col. Cornelius
deserves the severest condemnation at
the hands of honest men of all parties.

say there are no political problems
which require solving. On the con-
trary, many and important ques-
tions are coming up, but we do
assert there is no live issue which
at this time receives sole support or
opposition in the parties as they
are now formed. All signs portend
to fresh shutting ofthe cards and
a new deal, SO far as political par
ties are concerned. The three indie
pendent Conventions held in three
different States on the 10th inst, is
evidence Of the fact. Republicans
and Democrats may quarrel over
past issues and make old wounds
bleed afresh, but on the issues of
the hour find no cause for political
opposition or argument. Under
these circumstances good men of
all parties, ignoring the past, in
cline to the view of purifying the
political atmosphere, even at the
expense of voting against party
nomination. Blind adherence to
party is being left to the
professional politicians and Office
seekers, as at this time, it should
be. Correct principles are vital,
but scarcely less important is it
that the chosen representatives of
those prime; pies should have the
Jeffersonian requirement of homes
ty and ability. That the general
sentiment and determination of
the people is that the standard
required of the office-holder shall
be raised, is becoming appreciated,
and has already borne some fruit.
Ii is of good omen for the future.
People are awakening to the fact
of their individual responsibility
for their own votes, and feel called
upon to exercise individual judg
ment. Cutting of tickets is no
longer the exception, but the rule.
When it is rendered evident that
man VIGOROUSLY unfit for Office
cannot be elected care will be taken
that unfit candidates are not pre-

success Based Upon Merit.

1t is subject of general remark.
among both wholesale and retail drug
gists, that no medicine introduced to
the American public has ever gained
such popularity and met with SO large
a sale in all parts of the land, in the
same length Of time, as DIR Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, This can
not depend upon its having been more
largely advertised than any other med
icine, as such Is not the case. The
correct explanation, we think, is found
in the fact that this medicine produces
the most wonderful and perfect cures
of every bad cases of bronchial, throat
aud lung diseases. Is undoubtedly the
most perfect and efficient remedy for
all kinds Of coughs that has been i'm
troduced to the public, and at the same
time possesses the greatest Of blood
purifying and strengthening properties
that medical science has been able to
produce, thus rendering it sovereign
remedy not only in cure Of Consun.p-
ton, Bronchitis, Hoarsenss and Coughs,
but also for all diseases of the liver
blotches, rough skin, pimpels, black
specks and discolorations.. 1t has
therefore wide range of application
and usefulness, and it not only gives
the most perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations
of the most sanguine, thus eliciting the
loudest praise, and making permanent
living advertising mediums of all who
use it, For these reasons it is that
there is not perhaps a druggist in all
the vast damain of this Continent, who
tries to pleas his customers and supply
their wants, that does not keep and
sell large quantities of this most yalua-.
BILE medicine.

not be reduced below $50, 900, 900,
