which have been arriving in moderate sized
lots, have met with ready sale, and the clips
of Maryland and Virginia are now commen-
cling to reach the market. We are informed
that there is still stock of wool on hand in
Boston, there having been large amount car
ried there all through the season. In conse-
quence of their great exertions last summer in
drumming for cons ignments, the Boston COM
mission houses succeeded in influencing large
quantities OF wool to that city, more, indeed,
than could possibly be handled judiciously, in
the interest Of consignors. Much of this
stock was, therefore, necessarily pressed for
sale at prices considerably below those ruling
elsewhere, so that some of the best manufao-
turers of this section were constrained to incur
the expense of handling supplies at distance
from their mills; while, at the same time. the
woot commission houses here which had the
largest trade to supply bought a considerable
amount of the surplus stock in Boston, ma
king full commission by the operation. This
loss might have been saved to consignors by
shipping direct to this market, which supplies
the principal demand for low and medium
woods and much the better part of the trade fol
combing and delaine. This position of affairs
during the past season was understood and ap-
preciated by western shippers, but too late tc
correct the mistake.
| The whole amount of wool, in the hands OF
growers, dealers and manufacturers is, this
season, unusually small, the stock in this mar
ket being almost nothing, so that early ship
ments, at least, will probably be readily dis
posed of at fair prices for immediate consump
tion. The sales for the month of Domestic
Woods foot up about 2,700,000 lbs, and the
receipts are stated at 1600, 900 lbs

r. B. HAYES.

Rutherford B. Hayes was born at
Delaware, Ohio, on the 4th of October,
1922. After a good preliminary educa-
ton he began the study of law in the
Office of Thomas Sparrow, Esq, of Co
lumbus. With the liberal preparation
here received he entered the Law
School of Harvard College, where he
completed the regular course and grad
uated with credit.
For some years prior to the outbreak
of the rebellion he had been practicing
his profession in Cincinnati. Hisgenial
manners and his fine capacities as a
speaker had commended hin to popu-
lar favor, and he had been more than
once elevated to responsible official pe-
SitiOnS.
AT the first call for volunteers in 1861
he was in the prime of life (entered
upon his thirty-ninth year, and in the
height of successful practice. He
proffered his services, however, at once,
and was appointed Major of the 23d
Ohio Infantry on the 9TH of June, 1861.
He served under Gen. Rosecrans in
4! West Virginia during the summer and
fall of 1861, and for "a short time was
Judge Advocate on the Generals staff.
He was promoted to Lieutenant Colo
mel on the 4th of November, 1861. He
took command of the 23d Regiment,
andcontinued to command it during the
spring campaign in West Virginia, and
the autumn campaign under Gen. Nc
Cleilan, until he was disabled at the
battle Of South Mountain. He was ap-
pointed Colonel of the 10Th Ohio in
1862, but was prevented by the South
Mountain wound from joining the reg
iment, and on the 10Th of October of
the same year he was promoted to the
colOnelcy on the 23d. On the 25th of
December, 1862, Colonel Hayes was
placed in command of the 1st Brigade
of the Kanawha Division, and he con-
victory at Winchester, in September,
1864, when he took mmand of the
Kanawha Division, and led it through
the remainder of the active campaign
ing in that year.
In October, 1864, Col. Hayes was ap-
pointed Brigadier- General, "for gallant
and meritorious services in the battles
of Winchester, Fishers Hill, and Ce-
dar Creek" to take rank from the 10Th
of October-the date of the battle of Ce-
dar Creek. In the spring of 1863 he was
given the command of an expedition
against Lynchburg, by way of the
mountains of West Virginia, and was
engaged in preparations for that cam
paign when the war closed.
Gen. Hayes was brevetted Major
General at the close of the war, for gal
liant and distinguished services during
the campaign of 1864 in West Virginia,
particularly at the battles of Fishers's
Hill and Cedar Creek, TO date from
March 13, 1865. He was engaged in
much severe service, and he partici
pated in many battles. He had three
horses shot under him, and was wound
ed four times, once very severely.
Before the close of war he had been
elected 10 Congress from the Second
Cincinnati District by handsome ma
jority, and in 1866 he was reelected.
His action was uniformly III the line
of policy of the Republican party, byl

political opinions until the iall of 1862,

ignored their principles, and took a
stand against their country, he then
united with the Republican party.

Three Points for Consideration

During the past five years the VEGETINE
has been steadily working itselfint public
favor. and those who were at first most incred-
ulouS in regard to Its merits are now its most
ardent friends and supporters.
There are three essential causes for those hav-
ing such a horror of patent medicines, chang>
ing their opinion and lending their influence
toward the advancement of VEGET1NE. lst-
1t is an honestly prepared medicine from
barks, roots and herbs. 2d-It honestly ac-
com plishes all that is claimed for il, without
leaving any bad effects in the system. 3d-It
presents hottest vouchers in testimonials from
honest. well>known ciIizens, whose signatures
are a sufficient guarantee of their rnestness
in the matter. Taking into consideration the
vast quantity of medicine brought conSpicu-
ously before the public through the flaming
advertisements in the newspaper columns
with no proof of merit of genuine vouchers of
manifesting a small degree of pride in presen
ting the following testimonial from Rev. j. s.

genial pastor of the SO. Baptist Church Boston.

Ben. Eggleston said that when Ohio
calls upon Hays he will respond. Loud
cheers.
W. d. Bickham said Hayes would do
nothing that would compromise his
public or private honor. Cheers by
the Taft men.
Gen. Grosvenor said he didn't think
four-fifths of the convention should he
strangled by the other fifth, and to cut
the cord he would nominate the Hon.
V: B. Horton, of Meigs. Cheers.
The balloting then commenced and
proceeded amid much excitement,
three-fourths of the counties voting for
Hayes. When Darke County was call.
ed she withdrew the name of William
Allen and cast her seven votes for
Hayes amid loud applause. AS county
after county voted for Hays, cheer
after cheer shook the house, but the
Taft men fought bravely. AS the roll
stood before any changes were made,
Hayes had 325 votes, Taft 1S6, Horton
%, and Wade 49,. Athens, Meigs, and
Gallia withdrew their votes from Hor-
ton and cast them for Hayes amid great
applause.
a motion was made at this point to
make the nomination o. Hayes unani-
nous by acclamation. 1t was not for
mally put but the enthusiasm of the
convention, which had been constantly
growing, now reached its climax.
Cheer after cheer went up from thou
sand throats. The light of the great
chandelier that hung suspended from
the center of the ceiling was suddenly
turned on, the band struck up strain
of triumph, the whole convention
sprang to its feet, hats and handker-
chiefs were waved and thrown into the
air, and it seemed as if the storm could
not subside. Some show of order be-
ing resumed, the changes went on. The
nineteen Wade votes were changed to
Hayes. Franklin County was the first
to make change from Taft, casting
for Hayes the three votes previously
given the Judge. Some of the Taft
men greeted their change with Kisses,
but Fayette, Clermont, Richland, SEN
eca, and Portage Immediately followed
Franklin. The vote then, although
not formally announced, stood, Hayes,
1896; Taft, 153; and Hayes was declared
the nominee amid another storm of ap-
plause.
THE PLATFORM.
The following platform was unanimously
adopted, without discussion:

sembled, re-affiming the cardinal principles of
their organization, which have become re-
reived maxims of policy, State and national,
declare on specific points the series of senti-
