About two hundred Republicans

About two hundred Republicans
are aspiring for the places in the
gift of the Ohio Legislature. Gin
cinnati, Columbus and Cleveland
furnish q plentiful number. The
Legislature it is said, will repeal the
laws of last session and re-organ-
ize the Penitentiary and all the
charitable institutions, SO as to give
the Republicans control of them.
Gov. Allen under the old law, ap-
pointed one Republican on each
Board, but that does not suit the
leaders of the Radical party. They
do not want a Democrat as Director
in any Board.

Several ocean disasters have oc.
CURED during the past week, involv-
ing terrible loss of life. The sinking
of the Pacific and the burning of the
Waco, were almost simultaneous,
with the total loss of crew and pas,

from Quebec to Liverpool. Twenty
two men and a lady of the crew were
drowned. Like the smallpox, these

Postal cards have become so pop

demand for them greatly exceeds
the supply. They Are manufactur-

and we are told that the postal card
factory at that place is unable to
keep up with the orders. In one
week one million cards were ordered,
and the factory before that time was
three millions behind. The presses
run day and night to their fullest
capacity.

From the Miami Helmet.-Prohibition.l
HOW 70 RETAIN ITS AScEN-
DENCY.

-
The Cincinnati Gazette makes
mention IF a few things which it
thinks the Republican party ought
to do if it would retain its present
majority in the Legislature. 1t
must abolish all useless offices,
re-instate all the officers improperly
removed by Gov. Allen, be honest
and economical, and repeal the Geg-
han bill.
Is that all? Did not thousands
of voters cast their vote for Gov.
Hayes and Republican members of
the Legislature because they be
lieved that the Adair Law would be
restored, and the Pearson bill re
pealed. We think SO. We know to
a certainty, that many votes of that
kind were cast in Miami County,
The vote for Jay Odell shows that il
was so throughout the State.
Now while we regard the items o.
reform mentioned by the Gazette
as being important, we do not think
them, altogether, so much so as that
which we have mentioned.
The overtoppling, crying evil o.
the day comes from the improper
sale Of intoxicants. If the Republi
cans do nothing to mend what thu
Democrats did last winter, then
good-b bye Republieanism. We dom
want it. 1t is not itself sober; iii

The Republican Changers, all over
Ohio, voted solid for Hayes, the ban
ker and bondholder, in preference to
Allen, who for twenty-five years has
been identified by pursuit and resi-

els will not be apt to forget this.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of n pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
Ayers Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their. range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baf1ed the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infiamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
