nARD TINES.

Reports from all sections Of the coun,
try say that business is in a terrible
state of stagnation. At no periodsince
the close of the war have merchants felt
the balcful influence of PARTISAN
politicians as they do now. In New
York city many Of the largest jobbing
houses are on the verge Of ruin, while
small concerns are topping over by the
dozen. In Philadelphia capitalists and
tradesmen alike are suffering, and in
st. Louis cry comes up that unless
this Presidential question is settled soon
the bankrupt courts will be doing all the
business. Ia Chicago every branch OF
business is effected, moro or less, and
the outlook is any thing but pleasant TO
contemplate.

GOV. OsB0RS.

Several highly complimentary notices
of Gov. Osborn's administration have
recently been published by Kansas news
papers. All agree that it has been an
able, economical and honest one. For the
first term in many years Kansas has had
a Governor o. which she can DO justly
proud. Not long ago an unjust, unrca,
sonableand causeleSs warefare was made
upon him. But his wonderfully success
full administration has caused the oppo-
sition TO die out entirely, and not word
to-day is whispered against our gallant
governor. Merit and ability has tri-
umphcd over misrepresentation and
demagogism. Gov. Osborn Is certainly
shc most popular public man in kansas.

Wade Hampton is playing a "bluf

talk won't win. Hampton's bitter ex

THiT nREGlS ELElTnR.

We gave it as rumor last week that
the Governor of Oregon had issued q
certificate of election to Democratic
elector. The rumor proves to be true.
The facts arc that at the recent election
the three Republican candidates fol-
electors received moro than thousand
majority. One of these electors proved

The Governor of Oregon, Democrat
concluded that good chance was thus
offered by which that needed vote 70,
Tilden could be gained, and accordingly
issued certificate 10 Tilden elector
who insisted upon casting his vote for
the Tammany leader. The two Repub.
lican electors refused to meet with him,
whereupon he appointed two others in
their places, and those cast two votes for
Hayes, while the Tilden elector put in
one for his candidate. The Republicans
met, filled the vacancy according to law,
and cast their votes for Hayes. The
general statutes of Oregon contains the
following provision, which will certain
ly give the Hayes olector his seat:
The electors of President and Vice.
PRECEDENT shall convene Mt the seat of
Government Oh the first Wednesday of
December next after. their election, at
the hour of II of the clock at noon of
that day, and if there shall be any va
cancy in the Office of an Elector, oc-
casioned by death, refusal TO act, neg

present shall Immediately proceed to fill,
by rira r0ce and plurality of votes, such
vacancy in the Electoral College; and
when all the Electors shall appear, or
the vacancies, if any, shall have been
filled as aboee provided, such Electors
shall proceed to perform all the duties
required of them by the Constitution of

a similar law TO this is found in the
statutes OF nearly all the states in the

CoWsgDLY SsULTS.

When a candidate fer high office is so
well liked and so popular with the mass
es as TO make his defest difficult in a tair
ard honorable fight, mean and cowardly
men are not wanting who delight IN
manufacturing lies apd slandering his
good name. There arc also those whose
selfishness prompt them to prostitute
their honor. pervert truth, and ignore
right, for the sake of Iljuring compe-
! titor in business, whose prosperity they
envy, and with whose business sagacity
they have not the talent to successfully
compete in an honorable way. These
thoughts are suggested by the mean,
cowardIy attacks made upon me and my
medicines, by those who imagine their
pecunlary prospects Injured by the great
popularity which my standard medicines
have acquired. and the cotinued growth
of my professional practice. Narrow,
minded practitioners OF medicine, and
manufacturers of preparations which do
not possess sufficient merit to successful
Iy compete for popular favor, have re-
sorted to such cowardly strategy as to
publish all sorts of ridiculous reports
about the composiiion OF my medicines.
Amanacs, "Receipt Books" and other
pamphlets, are issued and scattered
broadcast over the land, wherein these
contemplate knaves publish pretended
analyses of my medicines, and receipts
for making them. Some of these publ
cations are given highsounding names,
pretend to be issued by respectable men
of education and position, for the good
of the people-the more completely to
blind the reader to the real object in
their circulation, which is to injure the
sale of my medicines. "The Popular
Health Almanac" is the high-sounding
name of one of these publications, which
contains bogus receipts, without grain
of truth in them. Not less devoid of
truth are those which have been publish
ed by ore DR.. L., of Detroit in the
Michigan Farmer, and by other manu-
facturers of medicines, in several social
ed journals of Pharmacy. They are all
prompted by jealousy and utterly fail
in accomplishing the object of their au-
thors, for, notwithstanding their free
circulation, my medicines continue to
sell more largely than any others manu-
featured in this country, and are con-
stantly increasing in sale despite the
base lies concocted and circulated by
such knaves. The people find that these
medicines possess genuine merit, accom-
plish what their manufacturer claims
for them, and are not the vile, poison
ons nostrums which jealous, narrow
minded physicians and sneaking CON-
FOUNDERS of competing medicines repre-
sent them to be. Among the large
number OF pretended analyses published,
it is significant fact that no two have
been at all Extraordinarily proving
the dishonesty Of their authors. 1t is
enough for the people to know that
while thousands, yes, l may trutbfully
say millions, have taken my medicines
and have been cured, no one has ever
received injury from their use.

The pretense that Samuel }. Til
den had any hand In the overthrow
OF the Tammany-Tweed ring Ii neg
atived by the fact that Tilden was at
the head of the ring. From 1866
down to the time OF the overthrow
Of the ring, Tilden was chairman OF
the Democratic State Committee.
II was his duty to appoint the Exc
cutive Committee, and he did APP
point IL, making Tweed q member
Of II every year. In 1868 he consult
cd with Tweed as to the best meth.
cd Of com passing sufficient frauds In
New York City to overcome Repub-
lican msjorities In the rural districts,
and sent out his famous circular
directing Democrats to report to
Tweed. Tweed did the rest; that is
to say, stuffed from $1,000 to 10000
votes into the ballot-boxes In the
city, and so carried the electoral
vote TO. Seymour. OF this mon.
strous crime Tilden isas guilty before
God as the felon Tweed. As
Tilden invariably appointed Tweed
on the Democratic State Executive
Committee, so Tweed, as the ruler
of Tammany, invariably appointed
Tilden a "sachem," or member OF
the governing body Of the society.
In the list for 1870 we find the fol-
lowing names: William M. Tweed,
Samuel j. Tilden, Peter B. Sweeny,
Richard Is, Connolly, and Thomas:J.
Fields. Tweed, Sweeny, Connolly,
and Fields are fugitives from JUS
tice, and Tilden Is the reform"
Governor OF New York, and the
Democratic "reform" candidate for
President. When Tweed ruled
Tammany the city delegates to
Democratic State Conventions were
chosen by the Tammany Society
that Is to say, by Tweed. In the
list for 1869 we find the names of
William M. Tweed and Samuel J.
Tllden side by side. In the list for
1870 we find the following: Will
