.Sixth-The revolutionary movement
under cover ofinvestigation,
but really as an attack upon the Presi-
dents title, calculated as il is to Mexican
iZe the affairs of this country, to cause
general distrust, to prOstrate our indus
tries and aggravate and Prolong the DIS
tress of laboring and industrial classes,
we unoualifiedly condemn. President
Hayes having been duly elected, and his
title subsequently settled under the Con-
stitution, by the highest tribunal and by
the act of both political parties, it can not
be questioned; and we recognize in his
administration the highest integrity and
patriotism the most sincere effort to pro-
mote political purity and harmony, and
to rescue general business prosperity
throughout the whole country.
Seventh-The present Legislature is a
warning to the people of the State, and a
proof of the dangerous character of the
Democratic party. The majority of that
body, in an unusually long session, pass
ed no laws for the benefit Of the people of
the State, but they revoIutionized every
State institution to make places for Demo
cratic partisans. They subordinated the
welfare of the insane, the blind, the mute
| and the orphans to the interests of the
Democratic party.
Eighth-Fhe Constitution having never
| contem plated more than one Congress.
siOnal districting of the State during {
term of ten years between the taking Of
the censuses, we condemn the recent out
rageous and unjust redistricting of th'
State by the Legislature, in violation o
usage, and at the dictation of Speaker
Randall, by which, on the basis of th'
vote of the last Presidential election
when a majority of the votes was Repub
lican, the Democrats would be enabled t.
carry fourteen out of twenty Congress
men.

CANCER.
Letter from J. G. Campbell, Md, Ty
rome, Pa.

Letter from ]. G. Campbell, M. D., Ty-
rome, Pa:
have given your Lacupia fair trial,
as you requested me to do, and am free to
say that find it the best remedy that I
have ever used for cleansing and purify
ing the blood. will report one remark
able case. Mrs. Joseph Kuhns, aged Al,
was troubled with a cancerous tumor
since April, 1872. The tumor grew very,
rapidly and caused her great alarm
She had been using a great many differ
ent kinds of salves and internal remedies
recommended to her by her friends, but
it still continued to grow. She called on
me and gave her the bottle of Lacupia
you sent me. [ soon noticed that the
swelling was going down and the pain
leaving. She continued to use it, and l
was surprised to find her well in so short
a time. Lacupia is certainly great rem
edy for blood diseases.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

First-The principles of the RepubIi-
can party, as written in the history of
the country, as specifically declared in
the National platform of the party, as
made sacred by the blood of patriots shed
in defense of the union and freedom, we
hereby reaffirm.
SecOnd-TO the soldiers who sacrificed
so much in defense of our common coun-
try there is debt of gratitude due which
can never be fully discharged. The
pledges made by the Republican party,
and by our patriotic people, is binding
and sacred obligation, never to be for
lgotten, never to be impaired, but to the
fullest extent, to be fulfilled. We, there
fore, denOunce as unpatriotic, heartless
and Infamous the act of the Ohio Legisla-
iture, introduced by a deserter, bounty
jumper and convict, intended and calcu-
lated to drive from the Soldiers Orphans
Home the orphans and children of de-
ceased or disabled soldiers, or to rob the
widows and families of such patriots of
the pittance paid to them by the Govern
ment of the United States, and demand its
unconditional repeal.
Third-The financial question having
been disposed of by Congress, and the
eountry at present needing repOse, in Or
der that capital may seek investment, and
that industries may revive, thus increas-
ing the demand for labor, the situation
ought to be accepted, and we oppose the
further agitatlon>Af the question at this
time as injurious to business, and devoid
of other than evil results,
Fourth-The dispositiOnS~as exhibited
| by conservative men in the Soath. to on
| pose revolutionary methods on the-aart Of
Northern Democrats as shown, tfrst.~ir
| their refusal to oppose the consummation
| of the Electoral count, and more lately in
| the expression of sentiment in disapDrO-
| baton of the proposed attack upon the
| Presidents title, is received as a promis-
ing omen, and the Republicans of Ohio
cordially greet such citizens of the south
as adhere in good faith to the terms upon
| which the issues of the war were settled
including the constitutional amendments
guaranteeing equal civil and political
rights free speech, free press, an un-
trameled ballot Ofall citizens. Upon these
conditions alone can sectional strife be
allayed, and sectional lines, which now
separate in great measure the South
from the North be obliterated.
Fifth-A tariff for revenue should be
maintained and so adjusted as to secure
incidental protection to home industry.
True economy requires that the Govern
mentshOuld make sufficient appropriation
to carry forward the. work on ali public
buildings without delay, and this should
especially be the aim when the suppIv OF
labor is in excess of the demand. The
mining Interests of Ohio require an in
spection intelligently administered. and
we condemn the action of the Governor
In prostituting that department, the OBJ
Ject of which should be to protect life and
promote the comfort of miners, to a mere
partisan purpose.

Diseases of the Scalp, or Pityriasis.
Letter from E. T. Murray, Esq, Trenton,
New JERSEY


1 was over I6 years affected with dis
ease'of the scalp. The doctors called it
Pityriasis. 1t was constant annoyance
to me, being not only confined to my
head, but often spread over other parts of
my body. 1t commenced by a scaIy sub
stance, resembling dandruf, gathering
at the roots of the hair. On removing
this scaly substance the skin appeared as
though it was infiamed, and the spot was
soon covered with new crop like the
first. Often kind of scab would form
which sometimes extended down over my
forehead. I tried great many remedies
for it, and went to New York and COM
suited a prominent physician there. He
prescribed for me, and told me the only
remedy that would ever do me any good
would be one that would remove the dis
ease from my blood. Ispoke to him of
your Lacupia, as 1 had seen it advertised.
He said | should try his remedy, and if it
did not cure / should then try the Lacu-
pia. l used his medicine, but it did no
good, and concluded to buy a bottle of
Lacupia. I used it according to the di-
rections, and soon found that the scales
were drying up and the dandruff depos-
It's stopped forming, and after the sixth
bottle 1 am happy to say that my head
was clean and well. I can. with pleasure
tscommend your Lacupia as bethg val
liable medicine.

Attention veterans.

The people of the great State OF ONO
had kindly provided home for the chlI-
dren of those of her gallant sons VINO |
went to the rescue of our Government
when traitors sought to destroy it, and
our Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
was pointed to as one of the most substan-
tfaI evidences of the patriotism and kind
ness of a grateful people. But the same
spirit, in the same party that opposed It's
establishment in the first place, found IL
self I'm the ascendency in the Legislature
last winter, and an act known as the IN
famous O'Connor law was passed, which
virtually wipes out the home thus pro-
vided for your children.
1. This law provides that none but the
children of men who died while in the
service, or who have since died of wounds
or of disease contracted while in the line
of duty of such service, shall be admitted
to said home, while the old law provides
that the children of all deceased, INDECENT
and permanently disabled soldiers and sail
ors should be received.
2. That no child can be received while
the mother is alive, under the age of u
years. Or, in other words, after the
mother has struggled along and support
ed her child until it is capable of assist
ing her in providing aliving for herself,
this law kindly proposes to take it off her
hands.
3. If a man is so unfortunate as not to
be on the pension rolls of the Govern
ment, his children, no matter how poor
/ nj ha p6
from the Home by this cruel and outrage
Gus law.
| 4. No child will be admitted unless the
guardian or mother agrees to pay to the
Trustees the money received as a pension
on account of the death of it's father
That is, the State of Ohio will meanly
rob the poor widow of the little mite sh'
so much needs to buy bread for herself
under the pretense of charity to he
child, after that child is old enough tc
earn its own living.
Now remember, comrades, that thi
outrage was conceived by the notorious
John O'Conner, who was not only de
serter and bounty-jumper, but an ex
penitentiary convict, and that it wa
passed by the unanimous vote of tn
. Democratic members of the present Leg
islature at its last session. In it you Sc
cropping out the same old Copperhea
spirit with which you had to contend a
every step during the war.
But we will give you the old law an
the new, that you may estimate this out
rage for yourselves, and determine wheth
2 er you can trust your interests and the il
terests of your children in such infamOu!
ly treacherous hands. We quote as muc
t of the two laws as bears upon the impol
! tant points alluded to above:

TAKE AND LIVE.
What the Doctors say of Laoupia.
SCROFULA.

The following letter is from A. K. Ro-
berts, M. D., Philadelphia, Pa:
The Lacupia is a most valuable remedy
and the best have ever used for ScrOfula
and diseases of a scrofulOus nature. Ihave
lately had under treatment a little girl,
Fannie A, aged five years. For the last
three years she has been suffering from
very sore eyes; was scarcely able to see
anything, the light causing great pain,
the lids were often glued shut with mat
ter. She had quite number of hard
Jumps on the sides of the neck, the glands
being swollen, some of which were open
and discharging pus. The child was very
weak and pale, lost all appetite, and was
rapidly sinking. l prescribed your La
cupia, did not allow her to eat greasy
food. In a short time the sores in the
neck stopped discharging and were soon
healed. The eyes soon got well, and she
was enabled to bear the light and see per-
fectly. told her parents to use the La
cupia even after the eyes and the sores
had got well, so as to purify the blood,
but being poor, they stopped the Laoupia
OF pr1Vatlons, the disease showed symp-
toms of returning. Her father then got
bottle of Sarsaparilla and Iron, but it
did no good. was called again to see
her, and at my own expense bought her
three bottles of Lacupia, and now she is

ScFOfuIOus Ulcers and Abcesses of the
Knee Joint.
Letter from Geo. H. Brown, M. D., 81
West Quincy street, Chicago, Ill.
Mr.. K, a married man, Al years of age
aprinter by trade, had chronic scrofulOui
abcesses of the knee joint for six years.
There were four openings around tn,
joint, which discharged greenish col
OFed matter. His face showed plainly
that he was of the scrofulous diathesis
He had been under the treatment of sew
eral prominent physicians of this city
but with no good results. 1 tried almOs
every Alternative in the materia medic
without effect. I was advised by med
ical friend to try your Lacupia, and &C
cordingly had him buy six bottles. Be
fore the fifth bottle was all used the sore
were all healed, and he was soon able t
go to work at his old employment, wei
man. have lately used it in a case G
scrofulous ulcer in the breast of a lady
She had been suffering with it for thil
teen years. After six months treatmen
with the Lacupia the ulcer was healed
and she says she never felt better in he
life. In my estimation, the Lacupia
the best remedy ever discovered for a.
kinds of scrofulOus disorders, and 1 thin
the time is not far distant when the prC
fession generally must recognize it.

Abraham Lincoln on the Currency.

Lincoln's Annual Message, Dec, 1862
A return to specie payments at the ear

reduce these fluctuations to the lowest
possible point will always be leading

bility. prompt and certain convertibility
into coin, is acknowledged to be the best
and safest safeguard against them.

AGUE AND FEVER.

DR.. C. MCLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hay-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
| complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forh-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER tc
have been extensively deranged.
