Republican success in adminlstra-
ton is the proof of Republican wor-
thiness to rule. By their fruits shall
We know them, and, tried by this
test; the Republican party has shown
itself as capable as honest as faithful
as any political organization that
ever assumed to govern community.
Not only is this true of the nation at
large, but it is true also of the city
and of the State.
In Columbus, Republican city
administration has made some mis-
takes; but these it has always been
swift to correct; and its wise and
meritorious acts have outnum bered
the opposite kind in the proportion
of twenty to one. Never was Co
lumbus governed in "a more liberal,
enlightened, and at the same time
wisely economical way, than by the
present Republican Council; and the
rapid growth and prosperity Of the
city bear witness to the fact.
In the State of Ohio Republican
administration challenges. at every
turn, the confidence of the people.
It is true, we have not always seen
perfect wisdom manifested from the
Executive Chair; here and there a
state official may be unworthy of
confidence or respect; the Legislature
sometimes errs; at least two OF the
State institutions are disgracefully
managed and have been so for several
years; but as an offset to these minor
defects, the record of Republican sue
cess in Ohio is as bright as any in the
history of states AS rule Republi-
can officials have been honest as they
were able. capable as they were hon
orable. The defects ought of course
to be corrected; but these are but as
spots upon the sun, and scarcely, even
to the closest observer, dim for a mo-
ment the brightness Of Republican
rule. The finances. the laws, the
morals, the wealth of Ohio, the
abounding prosperity and happiness
of her people; all go to prove that the
Republican party has done we'll in the
Buckeye State, and is worthy of con-
tinued confidence and power,
In the nation at large the world
has looked on astonished at the mag-
nifcent results Of Republican rule.
For ranre than twenty continuous
years the National Government has
been in Republican hands, and the
country has moved steadily onward
from height to height of grandeur,
greatness and power. Never did any
government have placed upon it so
great responsibility as has ours
within these twenty years.. never
was responsibility discharged with
so much of honor, with so little
pecuniary loss The succession OF
great and vii e and patriotic states
men in both houses Of Congress, has
been inexhaustible The succession
of strong, honest Presidents has been
almost wholly unbroken. To-day the
destinies of the Republic are in the
hands Of true men, and one Of the
purest, best and most unselfish of
patriots occupies the Presidential
chair. Verify the Republican party
shows itself worthy in all respects of
the votes and confidence Of the peo-
pie.

You have seen people afflicted with
erysipelas? Well, it is an awful thing.

is repulsive. 1t often causes sudden

RY RosALIE vANDERwATER.

GRANDPA is growing yOung,n he says,
While months and years fly by;
But tv'ry body sees he's old
In limb and foot and eye.
He has to nse his spectacIes
For print both large and fine,
And this-l've always heard it said
Is of old age sigu.
Besides he tremblps when he walks,
And on a cane he leans,
So I've been puzzled to find out
What the dear Grandpa means.
1 often sigh and pity him,
and wish that / could do
Something that no one Vet has done
To make him strong and new.
And when he smiles and says to me:
1t doth not vet appear
How young I'll be. one dav. one day:
Though not while am here.
"Ill slip away sometime and leave
NV spectacles and cane;
And when Won look at Them. don't cry.
But think I'm young again.
you'll keep them Roth in memory

1t is the way with tender hearts
To cherish such things SO.
"But it will please me where am,
To see that YOU are glad
That what ] said has all come true,
So, darling, don't be sad
'When you are searching all the house
In vain TO see my face.
Nor drop one hopeless tear for me
Upon the empty place.
"The tears are ;gath'ring in your eyes,
oh. why be sorry. dear,
That when You see I'm growing young
You cannot keep me hPre?'
And now know what Gr~ndpa means;
And I must trv to be
Glad in my heart he's growing young;
Glad when he's gone from me.

GsLike Hot Cakes"

The above is an old-time expression,
and is nearly as ''old as the hills" but
yet it.is occasionally brought into
good use, and placed in position
where it counts and adds great weight
to the words accompanying it. This
is true in the following testimonial
sent to DR.. S. B. Hartman & Co.. by
Messrs. Perret & Son, druggists, of
Greenfield, Ohio, who say:
''Send JUS some more advertising
matter. Your medicine is selling like
hot cakes. Send US a good supply,
for we need it badly"
Those men know when they ham
die good thing. Judging from the
above, PERUNA must be in good de-
mand in that country. Being COM
posed purely of vegetable ingredients,
druggists feel safe in recommending
them to their friends. Send for the
pamphlet on the Ills of life"
