THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation of and
demand for such remedies as these are,
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE is NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutions
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit. They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff joints wounds, strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being univer-
sally adapted to the external ailments of man
and beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be-
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than of all other lini-
ments, ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-ca]ed pain-kilers combined.
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism, Sciatica, Lumbago and Tic doul-
ourux.
IT RELIEVES Neuralgia and all kinds of
pain.
IT HEALS wounds, sores, gals and pois-
onous bites.
IT CURES Itch, Pimples and Salt Rheum.
IT SUBDUES Inflammation and pain.
BOILS, FELONS, ETC, are rendered near
ly painless,
CONTRACTED CORDS and stiff joints are
limbered.

Democratic majority Io -
The Republicans are very confident of the
election of their candidate for
Governor. The political standing OF the
Legislature is in serious doubt. The Legis-
lative districts have been so shamelessly ger
rymandered by the Democrats that only a
sweeping political revolution can give the
majority to the Republicans. Many of the
most experienced political judges in the
State do not hesitate to predict Republican
success. On the other hand the Democrats
profess the greatest confidence
Iowa elects State officers, Legislature and
a Congressman in the Fifth District, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of the Hon.
Rush Clark. For this vacancy the Republic
cans have nominated William G. Thompson
and the Greenbackers William III. Calhoun.
Legrand Byington has announced himself
as all independent, straight-out Democratic
candidate. The vote of the district last Fall
was: Rush Clark, Republican, 14,205;
George Carter, Greenbacker, indorsed by the
Democrats, 12,O11; Timothy Brown, Demo
crat, 600. For State officers there are three
tickets in the field-Republican Democratic,
and Greenback. The Republican ticket is
thus composed: Governor, John ii. Gear;
Lieutenant Governor, Frank T. Campbell; !;
Judge of the Supreme Court, Joseph NJ
Beck; Superintendent of Instruction, Carl
W. Won Coelen.
The Democratic ticket is thus made up:
Governor, Henry H. Trimble; Lieutenant
Governor, S. A. o. Yeoman; Supt. of In
struction, Erwin Barker.
The Greenbackers put these candidates in
nomination: Governor, Daniel Campbell;
Lieutenant Governor, M. H. Moore; Judge
of the Supreme Court, NJ. H. Jones.
The vote of Iowa in recent years has been
as follows:

The Elections To-day.

More than ordinary interest attaches to
the elections in Ohio and Iowa to-day, be-
cause of the bearing they will have upon the
position and prospects of parties in the con-
test next Fall. The verdict of the people
upon the course of Congress, the condition
of the enw Greenback party, the prospects
of The Republicans, will all be indicated by
the vote to-day. In both States the Repub-
| licans have every reason for cOnfidence-in
deed Republican supremacy in Iowa is not
seriously questioned. The political drift
this year has been steadily toward us, and
| Ohio may be fairly expected to follow in the
path of California, Maine. Connecticut and
Colorado.
In Ohio, in addition to State officers, a
| Legislature is to be elected upon which
| will devolve the choice of a United States
Senator to succeed Mr.. Thurman. -Four pro-
posed constitutional amendments are also to
be voted upon. One of these amendments
reorganizes the judiciary of the State, the
second is designed to extend the tenure OF
office of township trustees from one to three
years; the others provide for biennial cleo
tions, and change the time of the elections
to November. For State officers there are
four tickets in the field, the Prohibitionists
being headed by Gideon S. Stewart as the
candidate for Governor. The other tickets
are as follows:
Republican, Charles Foster;
Lieutenant Governor, Andrew Hickenloop-
er; Supreme Judge, VIM. w. Johnson; At
torney General, George K Nash; Auditor,
John f. Oglevee; Treasurer, Joseph Turney;
Member Board Public Works, James Full
