Ohio, in each of which he had for
his opponent one of the strongest
Democrats in the State-Pendleton,
Thurman and Allen in succession, all
Presidential candidates-and signal
ly defeated them all His memora-
bic canvass of last year, turned a
Democratic majority of II, 900 in the
year before to Republican majority
of over 5000. The effect of this
brilliant victory in Ohio, was to cleo
trify the country and give us an easy
triumph in Pennsylvania, and almost
to redeem New York, in the month
following. Can any of his opponents
show better record as a popular
candidate?
Should Gov. Hayes be nominated,
we believe be w'7ffrssafry Ohio by a
larger majority than any other man.
The vote of Ohio in October will
sound the keynote of the Presiden-
tial contest in November. This is
admitted by the politicians of both
parties. Hence it is absolutely es-
sential to our success that man be
nominated who can carry Ohio be-
yond doubt. Morton or Bristow
or Blaine might dol it, but with Hayes
there would be almost certainty of
victory.
Nor can we see any good reasons
why Hayes should not run as well in
all the other States as any other can
didate who has been named. We do
not believe he would lose single
State that could be carried by any
other Republican. His record on
all the important questions of the
day has been sound, consistent, and
unwavering. His services to the coup-
try during the war were conspicuous
and honorable. Ina word, we claim
that he is, all things considered, the
strongest candidate who has been
named, and therefore he ought to be
the nominee of the Convention.
Another fact greatly in his favor is
that he has not sought the nomina-
tion. Whatever has been said or
done in his behalf has been the work
of his friends, without his solicita-
ton. He'has not therefore aroused
any such opposition among the
friends of other candidates as would
prevent their uniting cordially in his
support, after they find their own
choice to be out of the question. 1t
would be much easier for Blaine's
friends to support Hayes than Nor
ton or Bristow, and vice versa.
To sum up, it seems probable that
neither Blaine, Morton, Bristow nor
Conkling, can obtain the nomination,
and it will be found necessary to
unite upon another candidate, who
will be least Objectionable to all, and
most available, and this candidate,
we think, will be Gov. Hayes.
With Hayes at the head of our
ticket, and either Gov. Morgan or
Gov. Woodford, of New York, for
Vice President, we feel confoe oent the
Republicans would carry Ohio and
Indiana in October, and sweep the
country in November, by an over
whelming majority.

The Presidential Prospect
HAYES and Victory"

AS the time draws near when the
Republican National Convention will
meet in Cincinnati, the question who
will be the nominee for President be-
comes of absorbing interest. The
latest and apparently most reliable
estimates of the strength of the diff
erent candidates, place Blaine and
Morton in the lead, with Bristow
next, then Conkling, Hartranft and
Hayes. 1t is believed that on the
first ballot, they will stand in about
the order named, as to the number
of votes received by each. 1t is not
expected, however, that any one will
receive majority on the first ballot.
The whole number of votes in the
Convention will be 754, and 37S will
will be required to nominate. 1t is
not claimed that either Blaine or
Morton or Bristow can command
that number on the first ballot.
The result will depend, therefore, on
the combinations which may be made
on the subsequent ballots.
We think it most probable that nc
candidate will be able to combine
votes enough until after a number oi
ballots have been taken, and the con
test may of course, be prolonged fol
considerable time, by the reluctance
of the friends of the respective candi
dates to abandon them while there
seems a possibility of their winning
the prize. But gradually it will be
seen which candidate has the great
est strength, and the majority will
finally gather around him and decide
the contest.
In our judgment, the very first con
sideration with the Convention
should be to select a man whose
character for ability, honesty ant
purity is well known, and cannot b'
successfully assailed. The next i'm
portant requisite is the availability
of the candidate-that is, his popu
larity and strength before the people
The man who can command tn
strongest support, and who at tn
same time, meets the imperative de
mand of the hour for undoubted abili
ty, incorruptible honesty and integr
ty, should be the man selected to bea
our standard in the coming contest
We sincerely believe that GOV
Hayes, of our own State, combine
both these indispensable requisite
in a greater degree than any othe
candidate whose name has been mel
t toned. His ability is unquestionet
! His private character is unimpeacl
I : ed and unimpeachable. Few of ou
E public men can compare with him
this respect. He has passed throug
three of the most warmly conteste
/ gubernatorial contests ever held

The PRACTICE of indiscriminate drug
ging can hardly be too severely con
demned. The effect of all such amateur
doctoring is to unduly stimulate organs OF
the body for while, after which they are
left worse than before. Relief for the
lungs is of a different nature, and Is
always gain, by leaving them stronger
for the rest it gives. Why suffer the tirec

and the large number of testimonials which are
constantly being received from persons who have
been cured by Its use, are conclusive proof OF lte
great value. Ii is recommended by physicians and

VEGETISE is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debilitates the system
and tends to destroy health instead of restoring it,.
Are not the many testimonials given for the diff
ferent complaints satisfactory to any reasonable
persons suffering from disease that they can be
cured? Read the different testimonials given,
and no one can doubt. In many of these cases the
persons say that their pain and suffering canuot be
expressed. as in cases of Scrofula, where, appa-
rently, the whole body was one mass of corrup-

many remedies, suffering for years, is 1t not con-
elusive proof, If You are @ sufferer, you can be
cured? Why is it this medicine is performing
such great cures? II works in the blood, in the
circulating fluid. 1t can be truly called GREAT
BLOOD PURIFIER. The great source of disease
originates in the blood; and medicine that does
not act directly upon it, to purify and renOvate,
has any just claim upon public attention. When
the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either
from change of weather or climate, want of exer-
else, irregular diet, from any other cause, the
VEGETINE will renew the blood, carry off the
putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the
bowels and impart tone of vigor to the whole
body. The conviction is, in the public mind as
well as in the medical profession, that the reme-
dies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom more
safe, more successful in the cure of disease, than
mineral medicines. VEGETINE is composed of
roots barks and herbs Ii is pleasant to take, and
is perfectly safe to give infant. Do you need
it? DO not hesitate to try it. You will never re-
gret il.

JUDGE BLAIR's LETTER.
WASHINGTON. March, Is,

WASHINGTON. March, Is, 1876.
DEAR SIR; | have your letter requesting
for publication the views expressed by me
in recent conversation with respect to
the pending presidential contest. The sum
of them was that We ought to continue the
contest as we began in 1872, when we
agreed to forego all other issues save that
of reform in the administration OF the gov
eminent. The adversary then struggled
and still strives, with the help of the Hon.
Ben Hill, to keep alive the issues of the
war for the purpose OF prolonglng abuses
which, however great, 60 unchecked while
sectional strife holds the public mind. We
did not carry the election in 1872, because
we were not fully successful In
making the issue Of reform. But we made
such a beginning that the victory of our
adversaries has proved barren one. We
so far succeeded that a show of investiga
ton had to be made The Credit Mobilier
fraud, which, though we'll known before to
all public men, could not command public
attention, now absorbs it. Spoliation was
checked. Jay Cooke & Co., who had
largely advanced the money to carry the
elections, could not be reimbursed by con-
gressional Endorsement of the Northern
DOuuSs
failed. The so-called investigating com
mittees, organized not to convict, were
experts in finding out how not to
do it, and the departments helped them
assiduously; but the independent press
did the work so effectuahy that large
Democratic majority vas returned to the
present house of representatives. Unfor
tuuately, this tide of success, which assur-
ed the refcrmers of the government this
year has been arrested and turned back by
the intrusion into the canvass last fall of
another issue, of which the Radicals have
eagerly and successfully availed them
selves. And their effort is to hold on to
that issue, and make the presidential cleo
ticn turn on the question OF resumption,
upon which they have won, instead of
upon the question Of reform, upon which
they have lost the day. If they succeed
in this the result will invariably be unior-
tunate for US. Our friends having been
beaten on this issue last fall in the States
where anti resumption Was strongest, our
vote in New York, even, without which
success for US would be hopelessl, having
