The Democratic Candidate for Comp-
troilcr.

All the candidates on the Democratic
stlte ticket are worthy OF support. There
is our, however, who deserves special COM
meIslation. We refer to LUcIrs RonrS-
son the nominee for Comptroller. He en-
juvi n distinction unknown to all other
can lidates. He was once. when young
man, an editor OF THE SuS, which shines
for all, and his talent, ntegry, and success
in that capacity were the foundation of
his subsequent enduring success in every
other. Let every citizen vote for him for
this reason.
MIR. RonISsoN has already served two
terms rs Comptroller. lie was first
elected in 1861 rs Republican, and
again in 1863 by the same party. No
man, not oven MARCY. WRIGHT AzA-
nGAH G.. FLAGG. or WILLARD FILLMORE,
discharged the duties Of that responsible
position with more sagacity. nrmness. and
Integrity. Why, right in the midst OF the
war. when the interest ON some state
bonds fell due, he paid ii in gold. accord
ing 10 the letter and spirit of the contract.

We should say that there must he and that

the existence OF such persons by medical Jour

physician. We ourselves have not. Of course,
seen as many sufferers from the malady In ques.

some doctors; but we cannot at this moment
think of any one OF those we have seen who was
bald headed. Consumption Is disease that
