Caution Against limitations.

The proprietors OF Benson's CapcInc Por
GUS Plasters have found 1t necessary TO warn
the public against bogus articles that arc
offered them under toe name of "CdDsicnn"

the facts are that they are totally unlike the
genuine in their effect or composition. and
such limitations are calculated to injure the.
excellent remedial qualities OF Benson's Cap

so-CALLED SOUTHERN CLAIMS HELD B1
NORTHERN spECULAToRs.
WAsHJNGToN, Oct. 7.-lntelligence
received here from several of the South
ern States indicate complete satisfaction
with the letter of Gov. Tilden on the
Southern claims. The idea that the let
ter would be htrtful to Gov. Tilden in
the South is simply preposterous, for, as
he saws, the great bulk of all the South
ern claims have passed out of the hands
of the original owners. Most of them
are held by well-known lobbyists here,
who are staunch supporters of Hayes and
Wheeler. These, with the claim agents
generally, anticipate much more fruit
ful harvest with Hayes as President than
with Tilden.

MIssoURI-A RosEATE DEMoCRATIC
PICTURE. Il4... .r....,.
BUFFALO, Oct. %, 1S76.-An intelli-
gent and observing gentleman, New
Yorker, just arrived here from a tour
through several Western States, was in
terviewed by the Herald correspondent,
and much interesting information ELECTED
in relation to the political situation in
the various localities he has visited. 1t
will be seen that his account is rather
rosy on the, side of the Democrats.
THE INTERVIEW.
Q. Please state what States you have
just visited.
A. Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana
Illinois and Missouri.
Q. What do you find to be the situa-
ton in Ohio? ..
A. My opinion Is that Ohio will show
an increased Democratic vote for the
Presidency, but whether that increase will
be sufficient to carry the State remains to
be determined. In Ohio it is believed
that the entire imitation vote, instead Of
being cast for Peter Cooper, will be cast
for Tilden, through the recommendation
of Governor Allen; the vote for Cooper
being only nominal, while at the same
time large party of hard money Demo-
Gratis in the State who voted against Bell
on account of the imitation platform will
vote for Tilden to man. l do not be-
lieve that the miners vote will be cast
for Hayes, no matter what the leaders OF
their secret societies may say or do.
Hayes sent troops among them to shoot
them down when on strike, and how
ever iustifable and proper that act was
the masses of miners do not forget it.
You remember how it was with our own
Governor Hoffman when he ordered the
military to fire on the mob during the
July riots. The action was unquestion
ably right and proper, and yet the Demo
erats did not dare to put up Hoffman
lpopulur as he was otherwise, for any pub
lie office. He has remained in obscurity
ever since, and believe the Ohio miner
wish to do the same thing with Governol
Hayes. 1t is all wrong, everybody knows
but this fact cannot be blinked out o
sight, nevertheless. So you can form
your own estimate about how the Stat
will 90 in November. The Democrat
are hopeful, but it is like hoping agains

VIEWS FROM A DEMOCRATIC STANDPOINT.
Washington Dispatch in n. Y. World.
Each days observations here in Wash
in gton leads more and moro to the con-
clusion that the opening fight, at least,
in the Republican Convention, will be
between Grant and Morton, with hardly
"A probability of either getting an.election
On the first ballot. In fact good many
think that the contest between them will
be- such dead lock that neither can get
the coveted prize, and both will have TO
give way to compromise candidate.
Of these there are score talked
of, some of whom are here
and others not The Ohio men,
bers here are laboring very earn
estly to advance the cause of Governor
Hayes, of that State, and at this time,
his chances, in case of compromise can
didate is found necessary, are considered
ahead of all the others. The basis Of his
claim, as set forth by his friends, is, of
course, the danger Of losing Ohio and
his ability to carry it, coupled with his
untarnished reputation. The claim. as
is readily seen, is strong one, and the
holding of the Convention at Cincinnati
will also help him, it is thought. Since
the naming of the place for that
Convention, by the way. l notice
that good many papers are seeing
in the choice leaning toward
this OF that candidate, and token of
disaster for Blaine. Here, however,
there has been very little comment on
the subject, as 1t is generally understood
that the strong argument in carrying the
Convention there was the assistance 1t
would give the Republicans in carrying
the Ohio elections For the same reason
it is not improbable that the Democratic
Convention will be held at the same
place, and the matter of candidates has
very little to do with it. Further, with
the exception of Blaine, who was out of
the race before the Republican Central
Committee met, pretty much all the pro-
minent candidates are from the West.
