MAGNETIC SOAP

The Cheapest Soap that can be used for
the following reasons:
1st.-One bar will go as far as two of any
other. rl..
2d.-Only half the. usual rubbing being
required, there is a saving of more
than the entire cost of the Soap IN
labor alone.
3d.-The clothes are made Sweet, Clean
and white without Boiling or Scald-
ing, thus all injury to them is avoid
ed. There is a saving in fuel and
hard work, and the washing is done
in about half the usual time. M
II is also guaranteed under penalty of
fifty dollars not to iniure the clothes or
hands, and as one trial will enable any
person TO ascertain the truth of these
statements, il would never pay the pro-
prietor to engage in an extensive system
of advertising and claim such decided
merit for his Soap unless he knew from
positive experience that it would prove TO
be in every respect what is claimed for it,.
This is also superior Soap Tor Toilet

advice enabled Ames to execute his
schemes. Ha2r tt
The disconteuted voter has horri-
bic suspicion that Blaine made $75,-

vote for Hlden, who has gobbled up
from 100000 to $6,000,000 in rail
road wrecking. as
The discontente6 voter imagines
that the country will be ruined if
Boutwell, aud Chandler be allowed to
eleetioneer so much 80 he will escape
this evil by joining the party whose
conventions are controlled by the sub
lime John Kelly and the pure John
Morrissey.
The discontented voter is astound-
ed that the Republican party allows
shysters and smugglers TO escape tax

party malignity that would compel
Tilden to pay his income tax.
The Disconnected voter is sad that
the Administration has been so shift
less as to borrow money at six per
cent. interest, so he will vote for the
party of Buchanan, who borrowed at
sixteen per cent. and sold the bonds

The discontented voter groans at
the wickedness of the Administration
in turning men out of Office for polit.

in the action of a Democratic House
of Representatives which made clean

shotgun and midnight assassin system

which must be tolerated in order to
secure the perfect purity of the ballot

through the late unpleasantness.
The independent voter was intense

Frederick Hecker, of Illinois, the
heroic German patriot, is rendering
admirable service to the Republican
party in Indiana, especially among
the Germans. In late speech he said /:
While in Europe in 1873, and while
on a casual visit to one of the largest
banking houses in the old country,
was asked whether l knew Tilden, Of
New York. Upon answering that
Tilden had the reputation of being an
able attorney, the banker answered
me that Tilden had his fingers in all
the dirty transactions which caused
European bankers to invest in all
the bad, worthless railroad bonds of
America. A similar character Tilden
enjoys on the Bourse of Money Ex.
change in London, Frankfort-on. the
Main, etc. The Impression thus crea.
ted by bringing such an individual
forward as a candidate for the highest
Office in the gift of the people can we'll
be imagined, especially when in his
letter ofacceptance he portrays most
damagingly the majority of his fellow
citizens. What character must the
Others bear in their estimation, when
this same Tilden, who had his hands
in the dirty work of railroad corpora.
tions, is the "pearl of the nation Z"
The New York Tribune puts it thus /:
"the Democrats require, not only New
York, but II more electoral votes, and
even with New York and Indiana, if
they miss single Southern State they
are beaten. But there is at this time
every reason to believe that they will
be beaten in New York. With the aid
of many thousand Liberals and Inde.
pendents, Mr.. Tilden polled 416.O0O
votes in 1874, while in spite of the
Liberals 440, 900 votes were polled fol
President Grant in 1872 In this con.
test the entire Republican strength
will be polled: it will be enforced by
thousands of Democrats who distrust
the position Of their party with re,
spect to the finances and the public
honor. Similar changes will appear
in other Northern States. The Re
publicans have only % votes to gain
If they are defeated in every Southern
State. Indiana with two other doubt
fil States, or New York alone, woulC
give them the requisite number"
Two statements from reliable sour
ees deserve special consideration a
present--one, that there is now a lar
ger Confederate army in array in tht
Southern States than at any periOf
during the war; and the other, tina
more Union men have been killed il
