GREAT GUNS =.
To The Editor of The Enquirer:
Granville ONO. Iulv1o 1891


CEDARvILLE, OHIO, July19, 1881.
There is great dissatisfaction in the
Republican party at this place with the
platform and ticket, especially with
Foster. Some of the most influential
members OF the party, merchants and
other business men declare they will not
vote for Foster, and two of the leading
men told me they estimated that hun
dred Republicans would refuse to vote
for him. Never before was there such
a detection by men who have steadily
and constantly voted with the party as
exists here now. The largest Prohi-
bition vote ever cast here is said to be
sixteen. The total Republican is little
more than four hundred. The total vote,
including all parties, is little more
than five hundred. One of the boilers
says not less than one hundred and fifty
will bolt the ticket. know of no Demo-
crat bolters, though there may be some
that keep quiet. The almost universal
opinion here is Foster will be defeated.
The intention is to rebuke the Repub-
lican political leaders in this State this
off year for ignoring the wishes and
claims of 100000 temperance Republicans
year after year. Ry inquiry here 1t is easy
to verify the above statements.
Yours truly,
REPURIICAN

on the ground that the act was uncon-

A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained,

LIN
with helearned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in fact every
body is "What is Modern
Spiritualism?" Is ita verify or
is it all a humbug Can it be
explained from a physiologica
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex-
lists, is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
, spirits can be seen, handled
and made use of to a good ad-
Vantage as well as explained is
also a fact to which all drug
Sists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be-
cause their name is legion.
We refer principally to those
medicines through which spirits
figure largely as restorative
agencies. Saur's Drug and
Medicine Depot harbors a large
number of healing spirits which
can be purchased for a very
small sum ofmoney and if used
according to directions will be
the means of relieving pain and
restoring the health of the af-
ficted. This same drug store
has many other things in which
It seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes the
provisions upon which hun
dreds of brains are fed and are
thus kept alive and active. The
large stock of elegant patterns
of wall and window paper is
another medicine by which
many homes is made warm and
comfortable. Then, too, comes
the many different colored
paints which are not only a
great preservative agency, but
add to the beautiful as well,
.tons of which is sold annually
and which gives employment tc
thousands Of people. This is
branch of business IN which this
house also figures largely. Saur'f
Drug and Book store seems te
p be the depot or store house in
which everything is kept which
can be found in any drug and
book house, at prices which
everybody will acknowledge tc
be very low.

Judge Harrison, who appeared for Madison, asked that the boundaries as fixed by the committee might be canghed. gThis was granted and the boundary was fixed from Hammonassett Point to Sachems Head. The line was made so long because the water within the light is shoal and there was no reason for the State to demand that territory. The line between Guilford and Branford was drawn and established from Saehem's Head Point to the boundary line between Branford and East Haven at point called Johnson's Point.
