The Cincinnati Commercial sup
plements its thirteen reasons why the
Republicans will carry Ohio this fall,
by two more:
1. There are more Republicans
than Democrats-or, rather, more
citizens who prefer the Republican to
the Democratic party in Ohio at this
time.
2. The Republicans of Ohio pro-
pose to vote next fall.
We can add on more. A great
many Democrats will not VOTE

And we can add just one more: A
great many Protestant Democrats
will vote the Republican ticket

The Cleveland Leader has pro-
pounded a conundrum which none of

posed to answer. 1t asks: eff a
circulation equal to S11 80 for each
man, woman and child in the coun-

poses before the war, why is not the
present circulation, which is; equal
to S1S rs for every man, woman and
child in the country, sufficient for all
presentpurposes?"

The frequent failures of banks and
banking firms are attributable to the
distempered financial system inaug
urated by the Republican party, says
the Cleveland Plaindealer. The dis
tempered condition of the finances
is the outgrowth of a Democratic re-
bellion, and that is perhaps the rea-
son the Ohio Democracy propose to
perpetuate it. If banks break and
distress ensues on account of it,
there is all the more reason for the
Republican policy of returning to q
sound and solvent currency.

the VEGETINE until she had used from twelve to
fifteen bottles. am now happy in informing you

that she is entirely cured, and the VEGETINE ac-
complished the cure after nothing else would.

good, honest, vegetable medicine, and shall not
hesitate to recommend it. am, &C, respectfully,
