A correspondent Of the Dubuque

well for our citizens TO consider. lie
says:
"A business man can always be

no business but 10 inquire into other

Ply the places of business men to their

of all business men. and by one unan.
imous expression they pronounce
them inqnisiiorial spies instead OF
idlers.

Every year increases the popularity
Of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure orr old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silkcn. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
Ii removes all eruptions and dandrutf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimn-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy APP
pcarancc. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, THE
constituents are pure, and carefully
! selected for excellent quality; and
consider it the BEST PREPARATION

The Republican. Platform.

The Cincinnati Platform is profuse
in promises. But the Radical party is
more noted for the evasion of promises
than it is for fulfilling them. This has
been one of its great faults. and formed
substantial reason for abandoning
the party by the Eve or six hundred
thousand voters that have done so
within the past three years. The pre-
sent platform is not worth crsticising.
1t is SO utterly untruthful and glar-
ingly clap trap, as to be disregarged
by some OF theRepublican newspapers
as so much waste paper.
1t matters very little about the plat.
form or this man either. The people
OF the country know that it is impos
sib!e for the Republican party to re-
form itself, with the corrupt material
OF which it is made up and they will
therefore vote for and elect the Demo.
cratic candidate.

The Radical Candidates

Governor Hayes is in his ffty.fourth
year. He is native of Delaware,
Ohio. born 4th October, 1922. He is
a lawyer by profession, trained regu.
larly by legal preceptor and by a
course of study at the Law School of
Harvard University, where he was
graduated with honor. After admis-
sion to the bar he soon acquired fair
practice in the city of Cincinnati. and
being a man Of winning manners, good
capabilities, popular speaker, and of
excellent professional and private re-
putation, he soon became a man of
mark and was made City Solicitor.
The outbreak of the war in 1861 found
him engaged at his profession. He
volunteered, however, at a very early
date for military service; was made
Major of the Twenty. third Ohio June
7th, 1861, was Judge Advocate to
General Rosecrans during the summer
and fail; was made Lieutenant Colon
el.. of his regiment November 4th, of
the same year; took command of its
during the West Virginia campaign, in
the spring of 1862. and continued ia
command until wounded at South
Mountain, under Mcclellan, in Sep.
tember. He was promoted TO the
Colonelcy October Is, and on Christ
mas day, of the same year, took com.
mand Of brigade in the Kanawha

One Of the best and ablest of the
Republican candidates fer the Prcsi.
dency was Roscoe Conkling. He has
been defeated at Cincinnati, aud in
m ost humiliating way. Not only was
he defeated, but his defeat was accom-
plished in the most disgraeeful manner
The nomination OF Mr.. Wheeler for
the Vice Presidency emphasizes the
fact that the convention intended to
snub and humiliate Senator Conkling.
He is struck down by his own party
friends, and one Of the leaders of the
assassination is promoted, to show the
intensity of the hatred borne by his
enemies to the senior Senator from this

the drama. The next may prove that

Division, and continued in that COM
mand until Sheridan's decisive battle
at Winchester in Septe mber, 1854. in
which Col. Hayes won great distinc.
tion by his brilliant conduct in leading
a charge across morass under very
severe fire. He GIT his brigadier's
commission dating from October 10Th,
1864, for gallant services in the battles
Cedar Greek. At the time of these
battles he was in command of the
Kanawha Division. He was engaged
in many battles, had three horses shot
under him, was wounded four times,
served until the close of the war, and
was brevetted Major General. Just
before the close of he war QS64) he
was elected to Congress from the Sc
cond (Cincinnati) Ohio District, and
was re. elected in 1856, serving until he
was elected Governor of Ohio in 1867,
and again in 1869, serving in the lat
ter office from January 1.1S6S, until
January LISP. The recent canvass
in Ohio October 1870, in which he
was again elected Governor, defeating
the then Governor William Allen, is
we'll remembered as one of the most
important contests for many years.
William A. Wheeler, the nominee
for the Vice Presidency is now in Con
gress, representing the St. Lawrence
and Franklin District, of New York
State, residing at the frontier town of
Malone, where he was born June 80,
1919. He was first elected to Congress
IN 1860, and has represented his dis
trict by reelection ever since. He was
student at the University ofVermont
in the Class of 1912, did not remain
to graduate; studied law and went in
to practice, was District Attorney for
Franklin county for several years;
served in both Houses of the New
York Legislature; has been in the
banking business, and President of the
Ogdensburg and Rouse's Point Rail-
road Company, and was President of
the New York State Constitutional
Convention in 1867. He was WAR

first is from the Republican of this

The other is from an equally hadi-

PROTECTION FROM LIeHINtN G. Prof
Wise, whose life has been devoted to
careerng through the air in balloons,
Studying and observing storms as well
as Gains, and making special philo-
sophie study of the operations and
effects of lightning, has repeatedly ex-
pressed the conviction that LIGHTING
rods are useless in electrical stdtiiis, but
that metal roots are an absolute protec
ton. He has now given to the Phila-
delphia Times repof, Of His observa>
tions of tie storm last week in that
city, when the lightning struck many
buildingsa trees and flagstaffs in Phila
delphia' In several cases, fagstaffs
were shivered down to the point of con
tact with the. metal roofs, where the
dariagg ceased, the fluid dispensing over
the exnanse Of the lhetali These cor
respond to hundreds of others cases
that were examined; and he declates his
conviction that 'thA lightning rod as a
protection in itself, is Of no more value
than a bodkin would be to ward off the
ball fired from a Columbiad.' We are
not aware that Prof Wise's theory and
reports have ever received serious atten-
ton from scientific societies, but we
gree with the Philadelphia Bulletin
that it is quite time they should receive
it, the memory and genius of the late
Benjamin Franklin to the contrary not
withstanding-- Buh S,en.
