This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable Observation-Disclosures, Man
drake, Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this SarsaparilIa
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

GEN. JAMES A. GARFIELD spoke in the
Opera House in our town on Saturday
evening last, TO large and attentive au.
dience. While Gen. Garfield is, an able
man and prominent leader of his party,
be is an adroit politician and shrewd
debater. We do not hear that Gen. Gar
field grappled squarey with the real is.
sues of the hour. He did not discuss
the condition Of labor and business, and
show the real cause or causes ofthe pres
ent distress, and propose change of pol.
icy that would improve things. OF
course an adroit politician of the radical
school would naturally dodge so serious
matter, as it would be difficult to throw
responsibility from himself and his par.
ty. He merely passed over the present
stagnation and distress by saying such
events occurred every twenty years or so,
and in this case railway speculation was
the chief cause, according to Mr., Garfield.
Of course he and his party are wholly
innocent of blame The Credit Mobil-
ier, De Golyer and other ring robberies
of which Mr.. Garfield knows, had moth.
ing to do in producing this condition OF
things 1t must really take some hardi-
hood of face to assume honest airs and
address an audience of honest people
in view of such things,
While Gen. Garfed's speech was a
scholarly effort, it failed to satisfy the
disah'ected Republicans. To compare
the present hard times to "the growing
pains of youth" was rather odious to the
workingmen, now suffering for want of
employment. In fact, the whole speech
was well calculated to remind the his
torical reader of Napoleon's order to have
the dome of Tuilleries gilded, in order to
direct public attention and comment
from terrible disaster of his war. The
truth is, Garfield is of the number who
has made his pile, and is Contented. The
policy Of the leaders of the Republican
party is to make the rich richer, and the
poor poorer.

THE Massillon Independent is claiming
great credit to its party and to Massillon,
for the party mob there in April, 1851.
Well, they deserve all the credit for it.
All these were instigated by the leaders,
for no sooner were they installed in pow
er, than they showed their hand in this
and other violent ways. In fact, the
Seward, Zach Chandler leaders, instead
oftrying to pacify and allay trouble, ex-
erted all their powers to precipitate civil
war, and succeeded. TIE party whose
career begun in violence and civil war, is
ending with a President counted in by
fraud Public debt, ring rule, extrava-
gance and corruption, settling down into
hard times, and suffering people tells
the tale.

SENATOR HAINES.

In this issue of the DEMOCRAT will be
found the withdrawal of Hon. A. R.
HAINEs our candidate for reelection to
the Senate of Shio. This piece of unex.
pected news will be received with regret
by the Democrats of the district, and
more especially when they understand
the reasons that induced Mr.. Haines's
withdrawal. Mr.. Haines is a gentleman
who stands high wherever he is known,
and is a Democrat of unwavering faith.
His course in the Senate during the last
two years was that of prudent, sagac-
ieus and attentive member. He stood
well in the councils, and was respected
as a man of character and principle. We
express our own personal regret at the
necessity in Senator Haines's mind that
compels him TO withdraw.

r. IL. BISHOPS VIEWS.

Republican papers have sought to fast
enupon Mr.. Bishop Know Nothing views.
Fortunately, while a member of the late
Constitutional Convention, the question
of alien suffrage was up, and Mr.. Bishop
defined his position:
In this debate (page 1889 Constitution
al debates) Mr. Bishop says: II believe
sir, that foreigners who have come to this
country and been naturalized, have been,
through the events of our history, as
true American citizens as any people in
this country, and on that score l would
accord them what tEey deserve, though
not more than / would accord to cur ma
tive born citizens. lam grati6ed 20 bear
testimony to what gentlemen have said
of the German regiments and Irish regi-
ments, although did not witness what
they did in the field, but l know of it,
for have seen these men return to their
homes, having been pierced with bullets,
and many of them cripples for lile."
Again, Mr.. Bishop says: "In my judg-
ment, every foreign born citizen should
be all0Wed, after he becomes a natltraLized CIT
izen of this country, the same privileges as are
granted 10 an american born citizen, and l
would not take from him the privileges l
am permitted to enjoy myself"
In conclusion we ask, can the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor show rec
erd as cleanP

MESSRS. PENDLETON AND CON.
VERSE

Addressed one Of the finest meetings ever
in the Opera House, ON Tuesday even
ing, and gave the greatest satisfaction.
Mr. Pendleton for over an hour held the
audience spell-bound in one of his hap.
piest efforts and most convincing argu-
ments. He was occasionally interrupted
by applause. His line of argument was
mainly financial, showing how, step by
step, the Republican party leaders had
Iegislated for the money power, at the
expense of the business and industries of
the country. He adverled to the crush
ing burdens that thus had been made to
fall upon labor, and spoke ofthe low wa
ges and scarcity of work which impover-
ished laboring men, and caused great
suffering in the land. We were glad to
see so many Of our Democratic friends in
attendance from distant points of the
county, and as many Republicans giving
close attention to the remarks of our dis.
tinguished speaker. 1t is to be regretted
that SO many hundreds were unable to
find even standing room, and were com.
PEELED to go away Let our friends read
Mr.. Pendleton's speech in this paper.
The chairman, r. S. Shields, Esq,
then introduced Hon. George L. Con
verse with afew complimentary remarks,
as he had done on announcing Mr. Pen
dleton. Mr.. Converse is one Of the
ablest men in the State, and it was a
source of disappointment that he only
spoke about twenty minutes. The audi.
ence frequently applauded bis remarks,
and were anxious for him to speak on.
We hope to have Mr.. Converse with us
again this campaign.
Tie New Berlin and Mozart bands
dealt out good supply of music for the
occasion.

GESTLEMEN-0wing to complication
of facts not visible at the time of my
nomination at the Senatorial convention,
August 18th, prominent among which is
a serious physical danger, not then de.
veloped, am, through proper regard for
the success of our ticket, and prudent
care for my domestic interests, compelled
to tender my resignation as a candidate
for the position of State Senator, so gen.
erously given me at the Waynesburgh
convention.
To one and all of both counties l offer
the heartfelt gratitude of a retiring indi-
vidual, welded to the fortunes of the
great Democratic party, compelled by
force of palpable barriers to decline a
nomination that, at the time considered
the proudest era of my life, and ask the
central committees ofthe district to name
an individual to supply the vacancy oc.
Casioned by my withdrawal. With full
confidence on my part that the force of
right. as presented by our party, will re-
suit in the election of the Democratic
Senatorial candidate, to consummate
which my remaining energies shall be-
dedicated.
Again thanking you for repeated man
ifestations of confidence. l am respect

And fraternally yous,

0ssAwATToMIE, Kan, Aug. 30.-Ten
thousand persons participated in the ded.

Of John Brown,in bronze or marble,to be
placed in the National Hall of Statuary in

nation, and asserting that it is the duty
