THE VERY L.-TEST.

This morning prominent German citi-
zen handed circular over the REGISTE
countss headed: "Brannon as Prohibi-
zionist. This circular has no signature,
the managers of Gen. GoF very likely not
caring TO assume the very questionable at
titude such an act would put them in. But
that matters little the circular is out and is
being issued among our German
citizens to injure Judge Bran
non. Its falsity is 50 glariug that the
astonishing feature about it is Gen. GorF's
managers could expect to make vote by
such methods. The General himself should
be apprised by some sensible friend how his
campaign is being ruined by the blundering
asses who attempt to accomplish their pur'
pose BY disception. Now Just look at their
methods tor e moment Several days ago
they sent a secret circular over the district
outside of Ohio county accusing the Judge
of being a free trader and sold out to
the liquor and brewing interests
of Wheeling. TIE next thing we find
these astute campaiguers doing is to issue a
circular in very bad German, right here in
the city, that Judge BRANYoN is a prohibi-
ZIONIST. Surely, Whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad. Nothing
could be more damaging to Gen. GoFE's
chances than these two opposite positions
his managers put him in. In this last
attempt the Stiffness and weakness Of Gen.
Gogr.s position have reached their acme.

FALSEHOOD5.

The IutelTgencer charges Judge BRASNoN
was one Of the first men to pray Congress
tor relief and forgiveness and had not the
true moral courage to claim to be citizen
Of Lewis but fixed his residence in Monroe.
We-are authorized " Judge BRANNoN to say
there is not one word of truth in this state
meut. That he never petitioned Congress
for relief. That be was relieved By the vol
uutary act Of ex-senator BoEENAN without
word or suggestion from Judge BEASNOS.
Further iii charged in thesame paper in
respct to contributors to sufferers by the
flood of 1884, a. follows: ave are informed
that Judge BRASyoS's heart warmed one
dollars worth. We are authorized by
Judge BRANSoN to say that the statement is
false and that he gave more TO relief than
anv man in Lewis county. The Judge

Gated aud where he gets his thoughts Of

state. the time being short between to-day
and the day of election. 1t viii completely
confuse most eyerobody's calculation. The
Prohibitionists will rejoice because they nave
made the license tax an issue, protesting
that the sale of beer or spirits should not be
legalized or recognized and that an oppor-
tunity will again be given to vote tor pro-
hibitory amendment to the State Constitu-
ton. The temperance people will be reason
ably alarmed lest on the two questions.
taxation or prohibition, the latter should
have the majority.
The vote of last year cast By the German
Republicans for selfprotection, which made
the Democratic majority, appears not to
have been renewed at the late election.
They may realize the necessity Of immedi-
ately making the Democracy their allies
and vote with us in November. That would
seem reasonable, would it not? Now,
whether partisan feeling will keep them
close to the Republican ticket remains to be
seen. Should the result be against US, then
predict that a prohibition amendment to
the Ohio constitution will be adopted, and
that BY the aid of the vote Of Democrats.
Activity of the Democrats.
''This much will say, that whatever use
can possibly be made of the decision by the
Judges of our Supreme Court, will be made
bv the Democratic managers in every part
of Ohio. The friends of Governor st. John
will unquestionably make an effort to b6is'
ter up their cause and candidate, and if a
sentiment elsewhere is sufficient to promise
him large vote, what ought to be in q
State so close that the temperance people
declare they were counted out last year y?
AS / said yesterday there are ele-
ments in the coming election which en-
courage Ohio Democrats 10 declare that our
State is doubtful one. Never before has
Ohio had any such position in o Presiden'
tial campaign. May we not hope that, as
all our past experience has been reversed,
the November vote too, of the Buckeye
State will be reversed for the Democratic
nominee and everlasting defeat Of the Re,
publican partyY
Congressman Wilkins, Of Ohio, says the
Democratic managers at Columbus have
fully anticipated the decision, and are con,
fdent it will make the State Democratic in
November. The decision does not come as
a surprise and the best use of it will be
made, it is said, for the remainder of the
campaign. 1t is useless to the Republicans
and exists now to worry them, with no time
to argue or combat the still hunt the Dem.

A Story About ST. John and His Divorced
Wife.
New YoEE, October S0-A story is
printed here to-day that surprises Prohi5i'
tionists, who have all along supposed that
Mr.. St. John, their candidate for President,
is an upright, honorable man. There is on
record in the Circuit Court of Richland
covnty. Illinois, O decree Of divorce
granted Mary St. John against John st.
John, upon the ground that "on or
about the 2Sth day Of June, 1852, he did
wilfully desert his said wife up to the pres
ent time, June, 1856" and the court at the
same time gave the wife the exclusive care
and control of Henry St. John, then boy
6 Years of age. Additional sffdavits are
furnished by ]. H. Brewer and his wife,
who were then living in Calhoun, Richlan&
county. Illinois. ST. John married Mary
Jane Brewer, the step-dsughter Of J.
a. Brewer, and after living with
her about three months deserted
her and her unborn child. During the time
he lived with her he never provided apenny
toward the support or clothing of his wife,
and she would have suffered for the necessi-
ties Of life but for the assistance Of her step
father. When his son was II years o. age
he met with a severe accident, and Mr. St.
John was asked to contribute to his relief
and necessary medical attendance. This he
refused, and suit was rendered for he doc
tors bill.

GIN. CORE AND TIE TARIFF.

Gen. Corr made his old spresd-eagle
speech of two years ago at Westwood's hall
last night, interlarded with statements about
Judge BRANNoS that have no foundationia,
fact. The accusation that Judge BRASsON
is free trader outside of the city of Wheel
ing and a high tariff man when speaking in
Wheeling, is very crooked statement and
intended to deceive The Judges speeches
all over the district are consistent and will
bear the light Of scrutiny wherever de-
hvered.
The Generals assertion thatit is not over
production which has brought about the ter
rible stagnation in business, but because the
tariff is no, high enough, viii be news to
the Republican party throughout the coun-
try. Especially in view of the fact that the
Republican platform specially pledges a
correction of the irregularities Of the tariff"
1t is also amusing, too, to hear the General
thus express himself when Republican con-
gresses and administrations have been re-
ducing the war tarif from year
to year and want it still lower. The
REGISTER opines the General has roman
tic idea on the question Of tariff and pro-
poses to stand by it like Casibianca on the
burning deck. Ifthe General gets to Con-
gress it will not be too much to expect to
see him standing solitary and alone on the
floor of the House whence all but him had
fed, % waving his flag ofaltitudinariau tariff

be a wonderful sight and the General will
be recorded in history as the monumental
wonder of all statesmen who come hereaf-

The Decision of the Ohio Supreme Court
MAY Give That state to Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, October 30.-The attention
Of Governor Hoadly, Of Ohio, was called to
a special from Columbus announcing
that the Scott Liquor law would be declared
unconstitutional, which prediction was veri-
fed by the delivery of the opinion this after
noon He said the action Of the Court did
not surprise him, for the Scott law was gen.
orally believed to be unconstitutional.
Many efforts had been made to have the case
argued as early as last July and again be-
fore the October election, but al those at
tempts to do so had been resisted By the
Court.
What do you expect VIII be the effect OF
this decisionG' asked your correspondent.
THE Columbus telegran puts the matter
verv fully when it says that it will again
urecipitate the liquor question into Ohio
politics without probability of the decision
of the court being revoked for several years
1t re opens the whole question of prohibition
and taxation, and will make it necessary
now to submit copsStutiOnal amendment
to the vote Of the people allowing taxation
BY license. The decision Of the court de-
elares that under the existing constitution
a license is not lawful shall recommend
