the long ages which have elapsed since
first the seas Of Mar had separate ex-
istence, the total enyunt thus drained
must have been enormous. We see the
effect in the relatively small area Of the
Marian seas. They cover barely half
of the planet. while terrestrial seas oc-
cupy nearly thrse-fourths OF the surface
of our globe. They have the shape also
which our seas would have, If some
what more than two-thids Of the wa
ter were dried up. The variety Of tint
which they present show that but few
Of those seas are deep, for few Of them
are dark. Many are SO light as to sug-
gest the idea that 4 large part Of the
area shown in the chants as aqueous
consists in reality Of land and water so
broken up into small islands, lakes,
straits, isthmuses and the rest that the
telescopes cannot distinguish the de-
tails.
Again, the unchanging color Of the
land regions implies that they are naked
and sterile. Unless we adopt the the
DRY that not only is the vegetation Of
Mars rubescent, but that oil the princi-
pal glories of the Marian forests are
ever-reds, and the Marian fields COW
cred with heritage Of unchanging rud-
diness, We must accept the conclusion
that the land surface is an arid desert.
This evidence alone is almost strong
enough 10 assure US that none but the
lowest forms Of life, animal and vege-
table, exist on Mars at present. The
evidence against the fitness of Mars to
support the higher forms Of life seems
Overwhelmingly strong.

The gold bullioEists are not con

The Cleveland Convention disap-
pointed a large majority Of the Re-
publicanS of this county in the en-
dorsement of the Resumption act
and in their determination for forced
specie payments. The Cincinnati
Gazette has educated its many read
ers in this section of Ohio to believe,
and to hope, hat the Convention
would demand the repeal of the
plumber act of SHERMAN. But now
they find they are again required to
come up and vote as their task mas
tiers demand. What care have such
men as GARFIELD, SHERMAN, HAYES
& Co, for the breadless laborers, the
tax-ridden farmers, the oppressed
merchant and manufacturer? Hard
money and thereby increased values
of their bonds and their COLDS is
what they demand, and must have.

GENTLEMEN: Your official COM
%munication, of date of July 9th, in
forming me of my nomination for the
office of Governor by the Democratic
State Convention, is at hand. l ap-
preciate the high honor conferred by
the Democracy of Ohio, and, while
keenly alive to the great responsible
tiles 1 assume, 1 trust, if elected, to
be able, under providence, to dis
charge faithfully and %impartially the
duties of the position. tits sufficient
for me to say that the principles
adopted by the Convention have my
cordial Endorsement. They are wise
and patriotic, and, if properley exc
cuted in the administration of the
Government, will greatly tend to
restore confidence and prosperity to
the country.
We are now passing through a cri-
sis in our commercial, if not Nation
al, existence. Capital and labor are
seeking to adjust their respective
rights. This adjustment will require
the most thoughtful consideration
and deliberation in action. In so far
as it may dependin any degree upon
the action of our State Government,
1 would certainly do my utmost to eff,
feet it on terms beneficial alike to the
laborer and the capitalist, The times
call for the most discreet management
and economical administration of
public affairs. The mere assertion of
principles will not meet the emergen-
ey. They must be vitalized and en-
ergized SO Is to restore confidence to
our financial, commercial and indus
trial pursuits.
If called by the people to the head
Of the administration of affairs in
this State, l shall endeavor, by a
conscientious discharge of duty and
a careful guarding of the interests of
the public, to merit the respect and
commentator Of the. people,. ire
speetive of party.

The Republican fice-seekers and
office holders of Ohio, headed by
STANLEY MATTHEWS, assembled at
Cleveland on the LIST. inst, and went
through the %formality of nominating
a ticket for reputation and defeat
this fall, at the hands of a deceived
and outraged people, who are about
tired being plundered and robbed in
the name of Republicanism and
promises of peace and prosperous
times. Every thing was cut and
dried. The platform was written
out and the candidate named in
Washington city several days before
the Convention, and the Hon. STAN,
LEY stuffed them into his breeches
pocket and with a "God bless YOU
from his master, the fraudulent Pre-,
| sident, was sent on his mission OF
political dirt, which ne seems to have
performed to the entire satisfaction
of the hordes of hungry cormorants
after the flesh pots that had gather
ed into the city of Cleveland. A
mongrel ticket was nominated and q
platform adopted, which can be con
strued to mean anything or nothing
Resumption or imitation, and will
this deception and piece of fraud thu
leaders of the party of rascality ex
pect to go before the oppressed ant
outraged taxpayers of the State ant
tell them again that they mean "re

blind candidate will bring ''goot
tines into the household and work
shop of every poor mechanic and la
borer. And hundreds of tax-riddel
farmers and idle laborers will gulpl
down their falsehoods and politica
balderdash, and vote the bond-hold

chains of poverty and want aroun'
them.

MANY honest persons have contin.

Many honest persons have contin-
ued to vote and act with the Repub-
lican party, who have long felt that
its financial policy was radically
wrong. They have done so under
the mistaken impression that when
the results of their policy should
demonstrate that it was destined to
bring bankruptcy and ruin upon our
country and people, that their party
leaders would have the patriotism
and craftsmanship to recede from IL.
The time is past whenthe champions
of the Resumption act can success
fully defend it before the American
people. 1t hangs like a pail in the
political horizon, a menace and a
curse. As a like measure in Eng
land brought disaster and ruin upon
the people of that county during the
period from 1919 to 1888, according
to the testimony of every historian
of that country, so will it upon this
in the unprepared condition of the
country to carry such q measure into
operation. Yet the administration
and the leaders of the Republican
party are so identified with the act,
and SC. pledged to its enforcement,
that they cannot recede, and conse.
quently are mysteriously silent upon
it in their platform adopted at Cleve
land, hoping to still longer deceive
the people as to its crushing effects
But they must stand or fall with it
and poor men who have been voting
with that party, and who desire tt
see the Inauguration of better times
in this country, should cut loose and
join with the Democracy who arc
pledged to the repeal Of the Resump
ton act and who have demanded il
their State platform, in terms which
cannot be mistaken, that it shall b.
Immediately and Internationally re
pealed.

"Our Registration law was intend
ed to prevent fraud" say the Repub-

have a Registration law in Republi-
can Philadelphia, and nowhere in the
United States are so many illegal
votes polled. From 5000 to 25,00C
illegal names are stricken from the
Registry lists each year. The Regis
tration system, everyphere, promotes
rather than suppresses frauds on til,
ballot boa.

The Republicans of Ohio hope, by
