German SYRUP"

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such a test of fits curative qualities
as Boschee's German Syrup. In three
years two million four hundred thousand
small bottles of this medicine were dis
tributed free of charge by druggists in this
country to those afflicted with consumption,
asthma, Group, severe coughs, pneumonia
aud other diseases of the throat and lungs,
giving the American undeniable proof that
German Syrup will cure them. The re-
suit has been that druggists in every town
and village in the United States are re-
commencing them to their customers. Go
to your druggist, and ask what they know
about it. Sample bottles 10 cents.
Regular size IS cents. Three doses will
relieve any case.

The nomination of Pendleton in the leg
islative caucus is of course equivalent to
an election. Mr.. Pendleton stands de-
servedly high in the estimation of the
Ohio democracy. As a member of the
House of Representatives he gained hon.
o-able distinction, and since that period, in
various ways, has always been prominent
before the pubic; and now he is about to
enter upon senatorial term for which his
abilities and the natural aptitudes of his
mind peculiarly qualify him. Mr.. Pendle-
ton has rare social and gentlemanly
qualities, and what is much more to his
personal benefit he has the rare attractive
and magnetic qualities which give him
great popularity among men generally,
and large personal following among the
masses Of people. Intellectually we do not
think him the equal of Thurman or
Groesbeck, but he is every way the equal
of John Sherman, or Ben Wade, or of any
republican senator the state Of Ohio has
furnished. Politically, he will represent
the State better than either Payne or
Hurd on the one side, or Ewing ora Nor
gan on the other. While Mr.. Pendleton
is not so pronouncedly in favor Of hard
money as either of the former, he is not
so extreme q greenback advocate as either
of the latter. He holds an intermediate
position, and. IF we are not greatly mistaken
one which most fairly represents the
sentiments of much the larger number Of
the people of Ohio. 1t would have been
extremely difficult to have found among
the public men Of that state any one who
is so much in accord with the general
sentiment of all the people irrespective Of
party, and 1t is greatly to Pendleton's
credit that just now he occupies that proud
position,
For the last decade Mr.. Pendleton has
been connected with the management Of
one or more banks in Cincinnati and also
of the Kentucky Central Railroad. While
his personal pursuits and respOnsibilitie:
have not made him any less the friend o
the people and the advocate of measures
in their interest and behalf, it is equal!
certain that the Pendleton of to-day is {
more conservative and a more guarded
man in business and monetary circles thar
the Pendleton of former years.
Some attempts have been made within
few years to smirch his private reputation
by reproaches in regard to his obtainin
the settlement of a large claim of tn
Kentucky Central r. r. against the gov
eminent, and his unusually large fee i
connection Herewith. The best possibl
answer to the fee part is the little efeC
all such talk had upon the reputation
and standing of Mr.. Pendleton at hon
among his neighbors and friends, an
where he is best known. The people c
Ohio have already indicated Mr.. Pendie
ton in respect to matters of that kind, an
the democracy Of the nation will WELDON
his advent to the United States Senate.

he has crossed or whose corns he has
trodden on than any other man in the
state. They say he is not a Democrat.
Well what of it! He holds the prin-
ciples embodied in the Democratic
state platform and has held and advo-
Gated them for nearly ten years under
"a storm of ridicule and vituperation.

He Will be Elected
N Y Cup

lgnatius Donnelly, who ten years
ago made q marked sensation in the
house of representatives by a terrific
casuigation of Elihu Il. Washburn, as
a pretended reformer Of that day. and
by a general exposure of the greed
for office of the Washburn family,
was recently nominated by the green
hackers us IL candidate for congress in
the third district of Minnesota, and
has now been accepted by the Demo
Gratis He will doubtless be elected
on this fusion ticket, as the district
gave Jacob L. Stewart, the sitting re-
publican member, only 2,096, MAORI
ty at the last election, and the &C
cession to the greenback organization
is mostly from that side. Hayes
visit to Minnesota, timed by the office
holders and a subservient faction for
effect on the Republican convention
and the quasi endorsement Of the
fraudulent administration by that
body, has disgusted large element
in that party, that will be apt to stay
at home on election day, and be quite
willing to see the managers in this
business get a lesson in defeat for
their gratuitous approval Of the bene-
ficiaries of the great crime. From
Vermont to Minnesota, all the repub.
lican stronghold of the past show
signs of disintegration in Il greater OF
less degree, which foreshadow a
crushing break down this fall. When
Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
others of the old guard waver at all it
forbodes disaster.
