NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-''Now, Young

about the same thing. The Ohio Repub-

''By which they will profit next year."
'''UndOu6tedly," replied the Secretary
with great confidence; ''the fight was
over minor questions this year, but in
1884 the tables will be reversed"
Whom will the Western Republicans
support as a Presidential candidate?"
"As L said once, my friend, l won't
be interviewed; and it would not be ex-
actly proper for me to speculate about
the Presidency. Besides, l know no
more of the future than you do"
You certainly have no objections to
saying what you think of the present
campaign in this state?"
Il didn't know you had a campaign
in New York. OF course the Democrats
will win, but by no such majority as
that of last year. The internal differen-
ces of the party have weakened it,"
Mr.. Sherman further said: "The Re-
publicans in Ohio were defeated because
OF the prohibition question and the law
reducing the tariff on wool. The out
look was favorable until about three
weeks before the election, when the ex-

otherwise would have voted the Repub-

kind"
How much did the wool tariff reduc-

Reunion of the bowman Family.

On last Wednes day about half past 10
O'clock eight teams from the vicinity of
Georgetown, came loaded with brothers,
sisters and their families to the resi-
dence of John Bowman, neaTNew Frank
lin, as a surprise party, to celebrate his
list birthday, and all of his own chill
dren having gathered there before, made
a merry, happy crowd. Mr.. Bowman
had many hearty handshakes from his
visitors, and he assured them they were
very welcome. The good ladies had
bOuntifully prepared dinner for the
occasion, of the very best that loving
hands could provide, which was served
in the yard to the number of siXty-fve,
fifty-tWO being relatives, showing the
high esteem they had for Uncle John.
Some beautiful presents were given
to Uncle John, which were highly appre-
clated by him. He thanked the giVers
for their kindness. After dinner was
over and the tables cleared away, as the
gentlemen had brought ViOlins with
which to enliven the occasion, it was
proposed to march to the barn, which
had been cleaDly swept, to "trip the
light fantastic tOe," aud was enjoyed by
most of the young and some of the older
ones. About o'clock the assembly be.
gan to dispeTse, feeling that it was
good to be there" and hoped the object
of their surprise might live in the en-
jOyment of as good health as he was
then enjoying, for many years to come.

terms throughout the length and breadth
of Stark county; so indisOllubly linked
that one is never mentioned without the
other being understood. Their business
has now reached such very large pro-
portions, that they are enabled to buy
goods in such immense quantities that
it gives them great advantage over
small dealers who buy their goods on
four and six months time, thereby
losing the discounts, while Goldberg
Brothers buy from first hands for cash
realizing a saving of at least fifty per
cent. of which their patrons get the
benefit. In this connection we are hap
py to state to the public that Goldberg
Bros, with their accustomed activity
and enterprise have purchased the en-
tire stock of dry dOOds and notions be-
longing to Mr.. John Il. Miller, and as
soon as inVentOried, will be removed to
their saleTsOOm in the SaxtOn Block, and
there offered to purchasers regardless of
cost. 1t will be an opportunity which
rarely presents itself for customers to
secure everything in the line of dry
goods, dress goods, notions, etc, and due
notice of the time of opening this great
sale will be given, so that all can profit
by 1t and share in its benefits.

THE FULL STORY
Told by the Official Count of the Vote of
the State


COLUMBUS, Oct. 18.-Ofieial returns
have been received by the Secretary of
State from 70 counties, which show a
total vote of 57l ,120. The judicial amend
ment has received 1851 votes and the
prohibition amendment gets 278,544
votes. Ten counties, as follows, have
not reported: Allen, Hamilton, Frank
lin, MahOning, Morgan, Muskingum,
Pickaway, Portage, and Summit.
As Hamilton county gave majority
of nearly $4,000 for the judicial amend
ment it is now settled that the amend
ment is carried, and probably by 10000
majority. The prohibition amendment
outside of Hamilton county is probably
carried. The majority against 1t will
be about $1,000. The total vote is now
estimated at 100000. The Greenback
vote is $3.50, and the Prohibition, as re-
turned from the 78 counties and estimat-
ed for the other ten, is 1926. The same
estimate on the ten counties not Offici-
ally reported makes HOadly's plurality
over Foraker 12,507, and majority over
all of about 1000. Official returns from
all the counties will not change this
more than fifty votes either way.

Human Blood.

On the purity and vitality of the blood
depends the yigOr and health of the
whole system. Disease of various kinds
is often only the sign that nature is
only trying to remove the disturbing

the means of preventing many diseases
