the hair where the follicles are de-

of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-

THERE has been most gratifying
result in all the October elections.-
Ohio has gone Republican by at least
10000, this too on very heavy vote.
The prospect is that the Republicans
have elected most of their ticket in In
diana, and the gains in Iowa are sur
prising. The Greenback vote is sur
prisingly small in all the states and
draws almost entirely from the DEM
ocrats. This result shows that the
Greenback fever has had its run in
the states where it originated and
there is return to healthy sentiments
ON the financial question, and we
trust hat the same hopeful symptom
will soon appear in our midst.

THE Eau Claire News of September
38th, says: 'sThe New York World
says that of late years when the DEM
ocrats capture a State they keep it,
and when the Republican power is
shaken it is never restored. If one
looks over the political history of the
past few years they will see that this
is true. Every State that has thrown
off Republicanism and gone over to
the Democrats, remains true to the
party" If our Eau Claire neighbol
will furnish up little on the political
history of it's own State for the past
few years it will find that its positive
statement above quoted does not cor
respond with the facts. Republican
power in Wisconsin was ''Shaken" IL
1873 and was partially restored in 1873,
and complete restoration being effected
in 1877. VIII the News please paste

THE Dunn County News tersely de-
fines "the true issue" in the pending
canvass as follows:
''Let not the people be deceived
about the true issue of the present
campaign. 1t is honest money against
dishonest money. 1t is a safe, sound,
reliable currency of gold, silver and
paper, against an irredeemable paper
currency, inaugurating national
wildcat scheme of paper money that
sooner or later will ruin the country.
The first is founded in reason and
common sense and rests on solid COM
mercial principles that have stood the
test of time and experience; the sec
ond is creation of the imagination, a
phantom of fancy that fitted through
the minds of men, in various forms,
for many centuries, and whenever a
nation has tried it the result has been
ruin and reputation.
