OnrNexi State senator.

His name is David A. Hollingsworth
of Cadiz. He is Il son of Elihu Hollings-
worth. a well known citizen of Flushing.
He was born i'm that neighborhood No
yember 2lst, 1874. and was a resident of
Belmont county all of his life up to 1863.
When but sixteen years of age he left
The village school at Flushing and en-
listed as a private soldier in Captain
James Washburne's Company B, 25th o.
V. l., then being recruited at Camp
Chase. Shortly after his enlistment his
regiment was ordered into West Nir-
sinia, where he participated in the early
campaigns in that State and in number
Of hard fought battles, and otherwise
endured many privations, in consequence
of which his health failed and he was
hOnOrably discharged from the service
in 1868.
Upon his return to his home in Flush
ing his health improved, and he shortly
after entered Mt. Union College, where
he remained for two years. When he
returned from college he studied law
with Captain o. S. Holloway at Flush
ing, and was admitted to the Bar by the
District Court in st. Clairsville in 1861.
After his admission he studiOuSly pur-
sued his law course, and in 1869 located
in Cadiz to engage in practice. From
the beginning he took high position at
the Cadiz Bar, and in 1873 was elected
Prosecuting Attorney of the county, and
reelected by an increased majority in
1875. After his retirement from Office
he formed law partnership with Col.
David Cunningham, which still exists.
As private soldier our candidate was
always where duty called him, As at
torney for the State he was faithful and
fearless in the discharge of official du-
ties. He is man of scholarly attain
ments and broad culture, and an attorney
of high standing and eminent ability.
Able, pure and just, his election will re-
feet credit upon the Twentieth Senate
rial District.

THE cartoonists are getting all the fun
out of current Sensational events. Mast
depicts the situation in Mississippi as
follows: In the foreground two native
bulldozers are crossing shOtguns. In the
background a jubilant African links
arms with Father Time, bearing his scy-
the and hour-glass and soberly contem-
plating his revenges. Keppler pays his
attention to the Narragansett Pier affair,
representing Conkling as making the
greatest effort of his life, in stepping
from Rhode Island to Connecticut, while
the avenging Sprague and the inevitable
shotgun are in close pursuit.

The Wool Market,
I. Y. Bulletin of Sa turday. I

N. Y. Bulletin of Sa turday.
Stocks of attractive and desirable
character continue to be firmly and con
lidently held, and our market for domes
tic woods is in very good shape. The
wants of the manufacturing interesI are
steadily on the increase, in part owing
to the fact that some mills have more
work to do than expected, while others
commence to reduce their supply of ma
terial with sufficient rapidity to warn
them to be on the lookout for parcels to
replenish. This is especially the case
on the more desirable grades, such as
medium tieeces, etc, of which the avail
able quantity is quite small. The situa-
tion on other distributive markets also
shows tendency to steady improve
ment and with strong accounts from
such accumulations as may still remain
at primary points, the situation seems to
be realizing previous hopeful anticipa-
tiOnS. Business this week has been full
and at extreme figures, with the supply
of medium woods at the close very great
ly reduced, and nearly all the pulled
stock gone, while the Texas and Terri
torial grades receive considerable atten-
ton, and the fine tleeces appear to be re-
covering favor. Advices from Boston
and Philadelphia report liberal bust
ness also, and taken altogether, the ver-
dict seems to be that the situation is in
better shape than for several seasons.
The call is almost exclusively direct
from consumers or to be broken up for
immediate distribution in small parcels,
and the absence of speculation lends ad-
ditional character to the market. The
sales include 10000 pounds No. l Ohio
at 41c.; 6,OO0 pounds do. Western, 41c. !;
10000 pounds medium do, 39@4Oc.

IT looks bad for Thomas Ewing, very
bad indeed. The Honorable Frank Hurd,
General Steedman, and other hard money
Democrats have held a secret meeting at
Columbus and have decided to throw
Thomas overheard and concentrate all
their efforts upon the Legislature. 1t
looks very much as though the Belmont
County Democracy, have taken up the
cue and will make strong effort to save
the Legislative ticket in this county.
Republicans should make a note of this
and see that no Democratic still hunt
defeats their candidate for the Legisla-
fure

LET the Democracy find out before

vote, and those who have not Gazette.
Why don't you drop a note to Eph.
Holland. He's posted on who have not
a right to vote. Ben. Butterworth knew
of Eph's aptitude in this direction and
gave him $21O for the information, and
per consequence the Democratic major
ity in his District was wiped out; and
that was the way Ben. was fairly elect
ed and Ephraim got his Butterworth.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer dolefully ad-
mits that prosperity has returned to the
nation. Ewing can only look upon this
statement by the leading Democratic
organ of the state as adeliberate attempt
to treacherously weaken his campaign,
which mainly depends upon his persuad-
ing the people that they are in the slough
of distress and poverty, and that moth
ing will save them eXcepta flood of slush-
money.

PENsIoNER at the first or LOWEST RATE
which had been allowed him.
Is it any wonder that when we look
into Mr.. Rice's political antecedents we
find him in the war supporter of Val
landigham, for Governor, and an endor-
ser of the National Democratic platform
of 1864, which pl onounced THE EXPE-
"RIMENT OF WAR" a failure, and de-
manded CESSATION OF HosTILITIEs'
and a resort to "OTHER PEACEABLF
"MEANs" to produce tranquility-in 9TH
er words, surrender to the South.
Has not Mr.. Rice assumed for him
self and his party to wear the honor that
belongs to others, and by his silence and
acquiesence in false statements, placed
himself in an unjustifable position be
fore the soldiers of Ohio and of the
country.

REPUBLICANS, in every School District

REPUBLICANS, in every School District
should take personal interest in secur-
ing an efficient working organization.
Belmont county is close, and therefore is
a special object of attack by the hench-
men of John G.. Thompson, who wish to
return a Democratic member of the
Legislature with view of electing a
Democratic U. S. Senator. Republicans
should be on the alert. Every man can
do certain work. Let it be performed.

THE Cleveland Leader says it is told
on first-class Democratic authority that
when Mr. John G. Thompson was in that
city last he met the jefferson Club, and
in the course of his remarks said "The
State ticket is all gone to: and all there
is left for us is to make extraordinary
efforts to get the Legislature" The
Leader says there is no doubt but this
is the carrying out of the Thurman.
Thompson programme.

BLACKBURN, the yellow fever Cover
nor of Kentucky, has spoken at last, but
only to remark that he does not care a
d-n what the Republican newspapers
choose to say about him. But he did not
say whether he is the same Luke P.
Blackburn that attempted to infect the
North with yellow fever and smallpox
during the war. He might be relieved
from answering that by application to
the st. Clairsville Gazette. No trouble
for it to answer any question, when no
truth is required.

IN referring to the recent Yazoo bull
doing, the Democratic New York
World says that at will be the yielding
of communities at the South in such
cases to mob, and the failure of the
States at the South properly in time of
need to call for Federal assistance, which
will eventually lead thousands of con-
seryative Northern people to insist that
the Federal bayOnets must be sent there

Radical could hardly put the point
stronger than this.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done
A slight, dry cough 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 prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial TO him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
