Fair Play.

If a few doses of proprietary medi-
cine fails to cure n malady for which
it is advertised, some seek physi-
clan, and contentedly take his rou-
tine prescriptions for months, even
though they receive no benefit. Is
this fair? Suppose the traveller on
strange and dangerous road inquiries
the route to town some twenty
miles distant, and, after going one or
two miles, concludes to abandon the
road, because he cannot see the town.
If lost, could any one be blamed but
himself? The Family Medicines
manufactured by r. V. Pierce, LID,
of Buffalo, n. Y, are a certain cure
for the various diseases for which
they are recommended. His Golden
Medical Discovery has long been the
standard remedy for the cure of scrof-
ula, bronchitis, consumption, dyspep-
sia, liver complaint, skin diseases,
and all the Impurities of the blood,
while DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, if
used in connection with the Discov-
cry, effects speedy and perfect cure
of the most aggravated catarrahal at
lection. For many years the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women
were regarded as incurable. The
knife and causlic were freely used
with but exceptional benefit. The
success attending the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription in
duccd the Doctor to sell it under
positive guarantee to cure this class
of diseases. If afflicted, do not de.
lay or hesitate to try it. See Picrce's

RepubIicanism From a Repub-
lican Standpoint.

Republicans suffer from another
disintegrating agency. The Federal
Administration disturbs less than
the financial question; the range of
its influence is narrow, and the dis
sessions it fosters are tinged with a
contemptuous disregard for ITSELF
But the tendency of its proceedings,
its vacillation and hypocrisy, its ut
tempts to clutch u power it cannot
WELD, its constant disposition to
make those who created it ashamed
of their responsibility, all serve to
ALLEVIATE thoughtful Republicans and
to consolidate and strengthen the ill.,
huences whose repression was two
years ago regarded as essential to the
usefulness and success of the party.
1t matters not that Mr.. Hayes "means
we'll" a weak President is one Of
the worst of Presidents. Nor is there
much satisfaction in Mr.. Sherman's
anxiety to anticipate resumption at
ter having given aid and comfort to
measures that endanger its pcrma'
nence. The infrmities of the Prcsi'
dent and the wilcs of his Secretary
of the Treasury are perpetual source
of party embarrassment. They ex'
cite ridiculo at the expense of prin'
ciple, and they give rise to plans in
which the humiliation of the Ad'
ministration will be linked with the
success of the persons and schemes it
has striven to crush. The Admins
tration cannot gain, and the party
must suilcr.-M y Times

The Radical organs are crying
"high taxes" and charging the Dem
ocrats with all sorts of extravagant
expenditure of the peoples money.
They make the charge but do not
back it up with the proof. 1t is well
known that that there is not State
in the Union where the taxes are as
low as in this State. Compare our
county taxes with those of our neigh.
boring counties in Ohio, and see how
great the difference is in our favor;
yet they have no better roads or
bridges in those counties than we
have in our own, This cry Of high
taxes, 30, Is only made to catch votes,
and We hope no Democrat will be de-
ceived or mislead by them.

The Dying Party.

The Republican party in North
Carolina is virtually dissolved, AT
a recent meeting of the State Com
.mittee a resolution was adopted de-
olaring it inexpedient to place u
ticket in the field,
No member of the Committee
thought it possible to defeat the
Democratic ticket. 1t was also sta
ted by the Chairman that State
canvass could not be made with less
than $500, and that there was not a
dollar in the treasury of the Com
mittec, and that it was impossible to
raise anything like that sum. Con.
sidering the apathy and the indif'
ference which exists on account of
the policy of the National Admins
tration toward Southern Republi-
cans, and especially disappointment
of Democrats to Office in the South
ern States, anything like q vigorous
campaign and a full vote are impos.
sible.
These statements indicate the ex.
tent that Republicans rely upon
money to carry elections.
Never was there time when the
Democratic party needed to stick
closer together than the present.
We are just beginning to see day
light We have the House with n
fair prospect for the Senate, and the
President in 1880, but if the weak
kneed and disorganizers persist in
breaking loose, and leading others
away from the paths of true Democ-
raCy, we may look for nothing else
but Radical rule and inevitable ruin.
There is but two great parties-the
Democrat and Republican-the form
er the party for the laboring classes,
the freedom and self-government of
the people, the latter for the bond
holder and oppression of the people.
One of these parties is bound to rule.
Which will you choose?

The Cincinnati Commercial, the

too much Gmntism in the campaign

The Senate of the United Statcson
the 4th day of next March will be
Democratic. The existence Of the
Republican party depends on its
ability to elect a majority of Repub-
licans to the next House Of Represcn-
tativcs, and they will use every means
fair and foul to succeed. If they can
carry eighteen districts and hold the
districts they now have they will be
successful, and they are now using
every means in their power to find
eighteen weak districts that will
yield to their efforts a part of their
plan is to split up districts by get
tingout Grecnback candidates, there.

THOSE DocEs.-The arguing of the
lawyers concerning the petition 10
have a receiver appointed for the
Marine Docks took place before Judge
Bradbury on Saturday, and the de-
cision was rendered on Monday morn
ing, In all equity, Judge Bradbury
remarked, he would have to overrule
the motion to have a receiver APP
pointed, and to confirm the sale to the
Point Pleasant parties. Therefore
the bushel or so of attachment and
Judgment loves on the the docks
would DO invalid for the reason that
the sale occurred before the levies
were made. Middleport may expect
to be crowed over now by the Point
Pleasant folks, but "whateyer is, is
right."-RepUbiican.
