The new departure of JORDAN, MARSH & CO.,, in giving up their Wholesale Business and devOting their entire time to the demands of their ernormOus Retail Estab- lfshment has been inauguaratedb by a Colossal Sale of Dry Goods, ag- gregating $2.5OO.O .OOO in value.
 In giving up the wholesale de- partment, the easiest and most profitable way for us would have been to have made slight marlk- down and closed out the stock to our wholesale customers. Instead of doing this we saw the opportun- ity to show the people of New Eng land that we appreciate their pat rOnage during the last twenty-five years, and decided to remove the wholesale stock to OUT retail es- tablishment and give the people the whole benefit of cost prices, having cut off the manufacturers, jObbers' and retailers profits. This is mark-down of 25 per cent. in all cases, and 50 per cent. in many, from the prices at which these goods are selling to-day.
 Bear in mind the fact that these goods are aIInew and fresh, as they were selected expressly for our spring trade, and they are of such an infinite variety and extent that the wants of all classes of people in all conditions of life can be met, at prices which are not likely to be duplicated in the lifetime of this generation.
 The sale was begun on Monday, April 16, and we have such a tre- mendOus crush every day that all of our out -Of-tOWn customers who can make their purchases between 8 and 10 a. m. will find 1t a much more convenient time for making their selections than later in the day.

The n. Y. Tribune is reading the fu-
ture in the light of the Ohio election.
The Scott law which imposed a tax on
saloons, will be repealed. 1t does not
require great political prescience to fore
tell this. The democratic party in Ohio
was openly hostile to the taxation of sa-
looms. The people of Ohio approved of
the position taken and elected enough
democrats to give that party the control
of the legislature. A democratic gov
ernor is also elected on the same issue.
The democratic legislature is bound TO
redeem it's pledge and wipe out the Scott
law. It cannot do otherwise. The peo-
pie of Ohio by q majority of $4,000 de-
mand that it be done and maiorities must
rule. There may be a change in senti-
ment after awhile. The saloon license,
or tax, brought in 100000 and of
course other industries must make this
good. But when the people of Ohio
want the tax reimposed they can vote for
it, as they have voted to have it removed.
But The Tribune has no good reason
to say that the victory in Ohio will in
duce the democrats to remove the tax
from the manufacture of whisky. 1t is
true Randall, the protection democrat
candidate for the speakership wants the
revenue tax removed from whisky But
he wants untaxed whisky SO as to pre-
vent Free Trade. The Ohio victory is
very dangerous one for 1884.
