The Democratic Candidate for
GOYernOr.

The Democratic Candidate for
Governor.
In speech delivered at Steubenville, on
the 21st ult., General CARY, the leader
of the Greenbackers, said: s
"Thomas Ewing. the candidate for
Governor, since 1868, has been an earn
! est, consistent, able and fearless advocate
of the financial labor reforms which
brought the National party into exist
ence''
"His honesty. integrity, ability, and
statemansbip can not be questioned. He
has been in advance of mis- party on what
we regard as vital questions, and hopes
to effect the desired reforms through the
Democratic party. Many of US think
this is vain and delusive hope. He
has voted with his party on all party is
sues, but he has never faltered in the ad-
vocacy of the Unlimited coinage of silver,
the substitution OF the Government mon
ey for National Bank notes. He has
ever been true to the interests of the la
boring classes, and against class legis-
alton for the benefit of capitalists. He
has never yielded to the behests of the
Money Power. His course has been
marked with 80 many evidences of his
fealty to our principles that the Nation
al Greenback members of the present
Congress signified willingness to make
him Speaker of the House. II he could
be sustained by my party for Speaker,
we surely may vote for him for Cover
nor of Ohio,and especially when we have
no candidate in the field against him."
democrats can support Ewing, for he
clings to their organization; Nationals
can support him, because he is a cham
pion of the fundamental doctrines of our
party. All anti-Nationsl Bank Repub-
licans should support him, because the
bank syndicate will labor for his defeat,
as he would substitute greenbacks for
bank Issues. The working class who
care more for their welfare than for the
mere success of the party should vote
for Ewing, because he has ever been
their steadfast friend" ~
EVERY legal voter in Ohio who
desires to see substantial prosperity re-
stored throughout the Republic,and who
loves country more than party, should
not hesitate moment to deposit vote
on the second Tuesday of October next
for Thomas Ewing as Governor of Ohio"

NOTES..
A SAUNDERS PIATr failed to material

A SAUNDERS PIATT failed to material
ize.
So did McVAY.
FRANK FLINT informed us that he came
up to see the Commissioners.
WATSON looked as though he had lost
something and was mad because he
couldn't find it. Perhaps it was his vote
for the Dog Tax Law.
About 100 members of the PoMERoY
faction came in, and heartily wished they
had remained at home.
BAKER and WATSON flung their arms
and yelled, but said nothing. The au-
Idience was badly bored.
+ FLINT thought be would like to wager
S5 that some of their nominees would
be elected, but when Democrat here
showed IS at him, Brother FLINT had
business down stairs in the Court House.
The PoMERoY faction "died bornin'," }"
boys; lay it away with the remains Of
that other faction, the Know Nothings.

The Judicial Appropriations, and
the MarshaPs Pay. "

From speech of Senator Hereford Of West
4 ,,iss, ~ Virginia. ''sts,s'sSi ~
"The simple, naked issue. then, is
this: We have made provision, We have
passed bill, and it is law, to pay the
salaries OF all the judges, district attor-
neys, the clerks, the witness fee,l rents,
fuel, lights; everything Of the kind, is
provided for, and that Is to-day law
having received the signature of the,
President. We appropriated 100000
for the .marshals for their fees and only
coupled with it restriction that the
money thus appropriated by us, should
not be used bv the Attorney, General or
BY the Administration to pay political
marshals on, the day of election to, ar
rest freemen offering their votes. That
is the simple issue. The President said
it should be used for that. He said:
If you do not give me the money with
ont that restriction, you shall not give
1t at ALL" He vetoed the bill That is
the issue upon which we 60 before the
people. and we 60 before them confident

Question.
II eight cats can catch eight rats in
eight minutes, how many cats will it take
to catch 200 rats in 400 minutes

III eight cats can catch eight rats IN
eight minutes, how many cats will it take
to catch 200 rats in 400 minutes
AN ACTRESSES REPLY-If eight cats
can catch eight rats in eight minutesp one
cat can catch one rat in eight minutes,
because they are all catching at the same
time, apd naturally one doesn't get any
more show than the others. Therefore,
if one cat can catch one rat in eight min
utes, in 400 minutes Tahby could con-
quer fifty rats. Now, if one cat can
catch fifty rats in 400 minutes, why. to
catch 200 rats would comfortably occupy
400 minutes time of four reasonable
cats. Please send the chrome to

you can find one. Give US someibilg

SLEEPY, Pearl street near Park.
BRAINS IN FOURTH AvENUE.-If eight
cats can catch eight rats in eight min.
utes, one Cat can catch one rat in one
minute, and 200 cats can catch 200 rats
in 200 minutes. If 200 cats catch 200
rats in 200 minutes, it will take just half
as many cats to catch 200 in 400, be-
cause they have twice the time; there.
fore, it will take 100 cats to catch 200
rats in 400. Al can also be worked by
proportion.

A TEuTosTozANswER In order to as
certain how yany cats it will take to
catch 200 rsts in 400 minutes, if 8 cats
catch 8 rats in minutes, ascertain FIRST
how many rats cat will catch in min
ute. Since 8 cats catch s rats in min
utes, it follows that l cat will catch 1
part of s in minutes, and in one min
ute 1 part of that, thus: 8-S.S e divi-
ded by Sand again divided by 81: the

rats gps.nt by one cat in one minute
Having nowvascertained that cat catch
,es 1 Of the rats in l minute, the number
OF rats caught by l cat in 400 minutes
is obtained by multiplying ! by AGO.
Result: 50 1t now appears that ! cat

Suggestions for the sick-Roo.n.

s. Z. I y -
In preparing a meal for any one whose
appetite is delicate. it should be made TO
look as tempting as possible The tray
should be covered with lhe whitest nap
kin, and the silver, glass. and china
should shine with cleanliness. There
should not be too great variety of
viands, and but very small portion of
each one. Nothing more quickly dis
gusts feeble appetite than quantity
Of food presented at one time.
The. patient never should be consult
ed beforehand as to what he Will eat or
what be will drink. II be asks for any
thing, give 1t to him, with the doctors
permission; otherwise prepare. some
thing he Is. known to like and offer it
without previous comment. One OF the
chief offices Of a good nurse is 70 think
for her patient. His slightest want
should be anticipated and gratified be.
fore Ne has had tineto express, il. Quick
observation will enable her to defect the
first symptom OF worry or excitement
and to remove the cause. An invalid
never should be teased with the exertion
of making decision. Whether the
room is. too hot loo cold; whether
chicken broth, beef tea. or Cruel is best
for his luncheon, and all similar matters,
are questions which should be decided
without appealing to him. as3lias 10
Household troubles should be kept as
far as possible from the sick-room-
Squabbles of children or servantspeyer

Above ALL an invalid, or evcngas per-
son apparently convalesceHt, should be
saved from his friends. One garrnlous
acquaintance admitted for half an Il hour
will undo the good done by a week ,of
tender nursing. Whoever is the respon-
sible person in charge should know how
much, her patient can bear, she should
keep a careful watch on visitors or whose
discretion she is not certain, and the
moment she perceives it to be necessary,
politely but-frmlysdismiss them.

Bulldorlng a Consul.

Washington, August 4.-Consul
Sprague of Gibraltar, communicates to
the department Of state the particulars
of an attempt to extort money from
him. On the 9th of July the consul
received an anonymous letter, pur-
porting to be from six men and demand
ing loan of $500, 900. The letter goes
into all the details of conveying the
money to the conspirators and threat
ems the consul and family in case of
the failure to deposit the money in a
designated place. The whole affair is
arranged in the most circumstantial
manner and bears marks of practised
hands. The consul communicated with

NEW York, Aug. 4.-The Times,
carefully reviewing the prospect in
Maine, says: The democrats are disap-
pointed because Garcelon insists on
again being candidate, and are some
what less spirited than the greenback-
ers; their close alliance with the last
named party is the best evidence of
their virtual surrender of party integ-
rity. The republicans were never more
united, hopeful and confident. They
have made a fortunate nomination for
governor and they are confident of vic
tory. The chances are that the election
will again be thrown into the legisla-
ture, however, and that the republicans
will control the election.
