REPUBLTCAN PLATFORAs.

First-The principles of the Republi-
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 reafirm. @ 20
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
gotten, 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-
ture, 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.
= sThird-The financial question having
been disposed of by Congress, and the
country 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
| OuSSHG W D0 dCCCpI6O1 anu We sOppOSC Liz
further agitation of the question at this
time as injurious to business, and devoid
| of other. than evil results.
FOurth-The disposition, as exhibited
| by conservative men in the South, to op-
| pose revolutionary methods on the part Of
| Northern Democrats as shown, first, in
| their refusal to oppose the consummatior
| of the Electoral count, and more lately in
the expression of sentiment in disappro
baton of the proposed attack upon the
| Presidents title, is received as promis
| ing omen, and the Republicans of Ohio
| cordially greet such citizens of the soutl
as adhere in good faith to the terms upoT
which the issues of the war were settled
including the constitutional amendment
guaranteeing equal civil and politica
rlghCs Tree speech, a free press, an un
Crameled ballot ofall citizens. Upon thest
conqlClons alone can sectional strife bt
alIayed, and sectional lines, which now
separate IN great measure the SoutI
from the North be obliterated.
Fifth-A tariff for revenue shouId h,
maintained and so adjusted as tn secur,
incidental protection to home Industry
True economy requires that the Govern
ment should make sufficient appropriatio,
to carry forward the work on ali publ
buildings without delay, and this shoul
especially be the aim when the supply @
labor is in excess of the demand. Th
mining interests of Ohio require an in
spection intelligently Administered, an
we condemn the action of the Governo
in prostituting that department., the OF
ject of which should be to protect life an
promote the comfort of miners, to mer
partisan purpose.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1878-10-03

Sixth-The revolutionary movement
inaugurated under cover OfinVestigat
but really as an attack upon the Presi-
dents title, calculated as it is to Mexican
ize the affairs of this country, to cause
general distrusl, to PROSTATE our indus
tries and aggravate and Prolong the dis
tress of laboring and industrial classes,
We unqualifiedly 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 revolutionizeds 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 The Constitution having never
contemplated more than one Congress
sional districting of the State during :
term of ten years between the taking o
the censuses, we condemn the recent out
rageous and unjust redistricting of tht
State by the Legislature, in violation o
usage, and at the dictation of Speake
Randall, by which, on the basis of tn
vote of the last Presidential election
when majority of the votes was Repub
lican, the Democrats would be enabled t
carry fourteen out of twenty Congress
: men.

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 forti-
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 to
have been extensively deranged.

Pityriasis. 1t was constant annoyance
to me, being not only confined to my
head, but often spread over other parts of

stance, resembling dandruff, gathering
at the roots of the hair. On removing
this scaly substance the skin appeared as
though it was inflamed, 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. tried great many remedies
for it, and went to New York and con-

prescribed for me, and told me the only

ease from my blood. spoke to him of

Lacupia. l used it according to the di-

TAKE AND LIVE.
What the Doctors say Of Lacupia.
SCROFULA.

ft- SChOEU LA st. IH
The following letter is from A. X. 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 a 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. 1 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 Lacupia
too soon, and being exposed to all kinds
of privations, the disease showed symp-
toms Of returning. Her father then got
a bottle of Sarsaparilla and Iron, but it
did no good. l was called again to see
her, and at my own expense bought her
three bottles of Lacupia, and now she is
entirely well.

The Greatest Medical. Discovery since the Cre0-

There never has been.a time when the

half of the entire population OF the globe re-
sort to the use OF ordinary p~lasters.
DIR. MELvIS's CAPsICUM Porous planters

them, to act quicker than any other plaster
they ever before tried, and that one OF these
plasters Will do more real service than a hun

tiers are slow of action, and require to be
wurn continually to effect a cure; but with
these Il is entirety nitierent; the instant one

tested and well know the effect OF Capsicum;
and Il has always been more or less used as a
medical agent for an outward applications;
but II is only of very recent date that its adj

covered; Being, however; CONVINCED OF the
CAPsICUM PoRoCS PLAsTERs and their supe-

actually prescribe them, in their practice. for

New York Correspondence Hartford Times.
Ten years ago Mrs. Holiday, the
wife of Ben Holiday the millionaire,
and her two daughters, both bright
and charming girls just verging upon
womanhood, were prominent among
society leaders in New York Ben
Holiday had made his millions in
the overland carrying trade before
the days of Pacific Railroads, and
his family had all the money it could
possi bly, need to enjoy all the pleas
ures of fashionable life. He pur-
chased magnificent country seat in
Westchester county, and his wife,
who was reputed to be devout Ro-
man Catholic, built o beautiful chap
ell upon it, at an expense of $40, 600.
Mrs. Holiday and her daughters
travelled in Europe, and admirers Of
the two handsome American heiress-
es were not lacking among aristo-
cratic bachelors. At length-and
without much delay. either-they
found husbands among the nobility,

the other becoming the wife of a Ba-

marriage proved fruitful of happi-
ness indeed it soon became known
among their friends that the Count
ess Pourtales and the Baroness de
Buissiere were sadly mismated.
Soon the tide which had lifted the
family to distinction began to turn.
Unlucky speculations swept away al
most the whole Of Mr.. Holidays
fortune. Next, death took away one
of his daughters, the Countess. Then
his wife was taken in the same way.
Soon after legal contest began be-
tween him and his remaining daugh-
ter over a will which his wife had ex-
ecuted. A curious feature of the
will was proviso that if the surviv-
ing daughter should become a wild
