CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,-My wife had

turned grey, but after using London

cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. BY

DR.. McKinnie, the national labor green
back candidate, has, until recently, been q
violent republican, but has been captured
by the allurements of an unlimited issue
of greenbacks upon the no-redemptlon
plan, and now hopes to ride that hoDDy
into4he state senate. This fact alone Is
enough to destroy the confidence Of think
ing, intelligent men in bis fitness tor the
position he covets.
DIR, JAMES F. TODD.
The democratic candidate for the legis-
Iature ia too well known in this neighbor-
hood. and in fact throughout the county, to
render il necessary for US TO point out his
especial fitness for the position. 1t is con-
ceded on all hands that he is pre-eminently
fitted by education, comprehensive scope
Of mind, integrity and ability, to be the right
man for the place, and that the people Of
the district will honor themselves by his
election.
Col. Mock, of Henry, and Mr.. Simon
son, of Rock Island, are the republican
candidates. The former is well known
and generally respected throughout the
county, is highly esteemed for his purity Of
character and worth as q man and citizen
but is machine politician of the republican
persuasion. OF the latter we haye ne
personal knowledge, though from
what we have heard we do moi
think he is a man of marked ability
or that heis calculated to weld much infiu
ence in the legislature.
j, w. Foy,t national-labor Rreenback
candidate for the legislature, is youni
man, a resident of Cornwall township, thl
county, and at present represent
that town in the board of super
visors. He is without experience ii
pubic life, and it seems natural that if b.
possessed especial ability it would hav
been manifest ere now.
In the foregoing we have endeavored 7
give a plain, candid statement of the quail
fications and character of the various candi
dates now before the people for their sui
frages aud if they could receive the sui
frages of the people upon their indlvidua
merit and fitness alone, there is no ques
ton that the democratic candidates woul
all be elected by large majorities.

Another Scandal.
Chicago, April 1S.-The Times this
morning had long account of the al
legged improper conduct and scandulous
proceedings of the Episcopal Bishop,
Allen McCoskey, of Michigan. The
substance of the story is that for long
time he has cohabited with a young
girl whom he has educated, and sup
ported, and whom he recently married
to young man of Detroit named Bar
rister, who discovered the guilt of Nc
Cosley, and indirectly through him the
matter has reached the public. The
proof of the story lies in number of
amorous and broadly suggestive letters
written by McCoskey to the girl, Wan
ny Richards; in his sudden resignation
to the committee of the diocese; in the
confused denial which he made to the
committee; in his acknowledgement Of
unusual intimacy with the girl; in his
identification of some of the letters; in
his sudden departure for Europe; and
in the reticence of the dignitaries of
the church, who, although they do not
affirm the story, refuse to deny it. On
the other hand the stories are so little
authenticated that they cannot be said
to be more than rumors at present.
Bishop McCoskey denies the whole
story and declares that he resigned on
account of i'll health and old age, and
points to life of rectitude for seventy
four years as his vindication. 1t is in
timated, though not urged, in explana-
tion of the letters, that he was becom-
ing deranged on some points, and that
he wrote them while out of his head.
The matter has been kept a profound
secret and leaked out casually. There
are said to be more facts lying back
but the Detroit papers published moth
ing about the scandal, and no inter-
views hitherto made have elected any
facts here.

PRESIDENT HAYES PLATFORM.


SaDinct.
New York, April ia Times
Washington specialsays: Before the for
NAL assembly of the Cabinet yesterday
the President said that a certain plat
form, if adopted, would be likely to re-
unite the Republicans, who could then
control Congress. The following is the
platform in brief:
First, The resumption of specie pay
ments in gold and silver.
Second, Resistance to all schemes for
initiating paper currency.
Third, A fair and moderate tariff
that will afford reasonable protection
to American industries.
Fourth, An amendment to the con-
stitution prohibiting the use of none!
raised by public taxation for the sup
port of sectarian schools.
Fifth, A speedy completion Of all the
public works such as river and harbor
improvements, public buildings, forti.
fications, etc., now that labor and ma.
terial is cheap and worklngmen need
employment, and liberal policy fol
the improvement of the great national
channels Of commerce, like the Missis
sippi river and its tributaries.
The members of the Cabinet coincide
with the President, and after some in
formal discussion a sixth paragraph
was added, declaring against the pay
ment of claims to disloyal citizens fol
damages and loss, growing out of tht
rebellion, and the payment of pensions
to persons who were disloyal during tn,
war. With this addition, the platform
was pronounced to be a fair represents
tion of the views of the Administra
| tion.

New York, April 17.--One of the
leading members of Plymouth church
said to-day that his wife received a let
ter from Mrs. Tilton, three weeks ago,
on personal matters, but toward the
close it most Unexpectedly dropped into
discussion of her guilt. Mrs. Tilton
then set forth the printed falsehood
that she had never denied her guilt be-
fore she left her home in Tilton's house.
That was false, and when we called
her attention to the various occasions
on which she had done so, she hung
her head and didn't know what to say.
The letter was sort of confession of
her guilt, about which she had written
her daughters, SO she wrote, but which
she didn't think she should disclose to
her son Carroll until he was a man.
"You have seen me burst into those
paroxysms of tears; these were times
when the burden on my conscience was
unbearable," said Mrs. Tilton. Now
my wife never in her life saw her burst
into any paroxysms. The most she
ever saw was a trembling of her lips,
when she spoke of her children.

London, April 1s.-Layard, British

will occupy Batoum. 1t is untrue
that the Russians have again asked
permission to occupy Bunzkeder or are
moving on Constantinople. Both from
Vienna and st. Petersburg comes re-
ports of great uneasiness and dissatis-

position. The Roumanians are alarmed
about the occupation of their country,
and the possibility of an attempt TO dis
arm them, and have withdrawn their
army into Little Wallachia, where
they boast they will make another Plev-
ma il the Russians attack them.
