The Ohio Republicans.
STATE CENTRAL CoMMTTEE-PLAN OF
CAMPAIGN.

STATE CENTRAL COMMIrTEE-fLAN OF THE
CAMPAIGN.
The Republican State Central Committee met at
Columbus, Ohio. Wednesday, together with many
of the leading republicans of the State to fix the
time and place of the convention, and take coun-
sci among themselves as to the plan of the cam
paign. The meeting one OF unusual haI-
inouy, and shows that decided change has
come over the organization since last summers
assemblage of the same character. Then the
friends and enemies OF the administration were
at swords points. Now each shows disposition
to excel the other ~ avoiding any cause of con-
troversy.
General Grosyenor, one Of the warmest Hayes
men IN the state, aud one who has pr, fitted most,
IN quiet way, by Hayes aud Mathewss elee
tlou, was eager to avoid the bunder- of last fall,
and to reunlte the patty by making common
cause against democracy aud avoiding commit
ment gu any question that could create differ
eucc. Mi EggitstUu, GU tue other hand, who
has the reputation Of being one OF the most
prominent Oi the stAWatts, telred to The T. esl-
dent IN his speech to the caucus IN most re-
specjful manner, aud was, apparently, anxious
that the campaign should be conducted without
any open expression OF hostility to the admls-
trAtion. 1t not at all difficult TO discover
that the President had very few tliends 10 tue
good time to make it known. June y was fixed
upon As the time of holding the state convent on,
which will nominate a SECRETARY of state aud
Member Of the Board Of Public Works, and Gin
cinnatl Is the place where It /. to be held.
The latter d, cision reached with the hope
thar holding tue convention there may help the
republicans 10 the determined effort which they
propose to make to regain the first and second
Congress lOnal districts. These two together
with another in the centre oil the State, they
have to cany as Ohio's part toward regainiug
control of Congress for The party. The under
tone Of the meeting was, with very rare eNcep-
tons, to the effect that. while the Convention
should IN nowlse express any disrespect Tor the
President it should at the same time avoid com
uniting the party 10 an Endorsement of hls course.
For this pc aCeiul agreement tue caucn, at ASA
pgton is partly to be thanked, but still more then
own persuasion that the party Is in very bad way
in tue state, aud that only the most harmonious
and eueig gene management can make success pos
slble.

PRESERVE THIS CAREFULLY In reply to c.
W c., p 1858, can give some facts which may be
of use to some body, thereby saving life. The
time between the biting of an animal by a mad
dog and showing signs Of hydrophobia is not less
than nine days, but may be nine months. After
the animal has become rgbd, q bite OF scratch
with tie teeth upon person, or slObber coming in
contact with sore or raw place, would produce
hydrophoba just as soon as though he had been
bitten by a mad dog. Hydrophobla can be PIE
vented, and will give what is well known to be
an infallible remedy If properly admi mustered, for
man or beast. A dose tor horse OF COW should
be about four times as great as for person. 1t
j. not too late to give medicine any time before
the spasms come on.
The first dose for a persOn is one and a half
ounces eeeampane root, bruised, pat in pint of
new milk, reduced TO one-haf by boiling, then
taken all al one dose IN the morning, fasting mn
Ill afternoon, or at least very light diet after
several hours nave elapsed. The second dose the
same first, except take two ounces of the root
third dose the same as last, to be taken every other
day. Three doses are all that is needed, and
there need be no fear. lhs | know from nv
own experience, and know Of number of other
cases where it has been entirely successful. This
is no guess work. Those persons | allude to
were bitten by their own dog that had been bitten
by rabld dogs, and were peDneG up to see if they
would go mad; they did 20 mad, and did bite the
petsous.
Tbi. remedy has been used in and about Phla,
delphia Tor tvlty ears and longer with great sue
cess, and Is known as the Goodman remedy. | am
acquainted with physician who told me he knew
OF Its use fol more than thirty years, but never
knew Of case that failed where it was properly
administered. Among other cases he mentioned,
was one where number Of cows had been bitten
by mad dog To half of this number they adj
ministered this remedy, 10 tue other half not.
