THE Columbus Dispatch thinks that
the forthcoming Legislature should.
among its first duties, enact law secu =
ring to the people honest elections. and
outlines plan of its own As follows:
Limit the voting strength in each pre-
cinct of city to three hundred, open
the polls at or 8 o'clock in the morning,
and close them at o'clock in the after
noon; have the count commence with
the closing of the polls and continue un>
til finisked; forbid the judges to leave
the ballot box from the time the polls
are opened until the result is announced,
and finally to have the result read alend
to the persons present to hear it. 1t is
certain that election officers should be
held to a stricter accountability, and
when they knowingly violate the stat
ute, as in Cincinnati, q heavy fine and
certain Imprisonment should result. The
purity of the ballot should be main tain
ed at all hazards.

Attention. Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of the
average physician is hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for a merely NOM
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for US to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list of medicines he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
Ills of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. ]. Wright, Business AgentEvening
Herald, Erie, Pa, says: "DR. HART
MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit l received from the use of your
medicines, ,PERUNA and MANALIN.
One bottle of each placed me square on
my feet, after sickness of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement of the use of
your remedies the cane was dispensed
with, and in a week l was perfectly we'll"
Mrs. Ellen Maynard, Oswego, Potter
county, Pa, writes: "DR. HARTMAN,
Columbus, o. The small ulcers are all
healed, and the two large ones are not
more than half rs large as they were. l
am feeling quite well. The people say
your PKRUNA and MANALIN are doing
miracle. 1 do not take nearly so much
opium as did before"
Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,
writes I have used your PERUNA and
MANALIN with good results. In the year
of 1880 was so bad that could scarcely
walk. l used PERUNA and MANAIIN,
and am now as healthy as l have ever
been. I have also recommended it to
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it."
Mr.. c. H. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio,
writes sour little girl was paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and we resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared TO get but little better.
Hearing of PERUNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her great
deal of good the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per-
sons and found it success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PERUNA. Our little girl is now eight
years old, and can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERUNA cured her"

SOME significant facts about the frauds
perpetrated in the recent Virginia elec'
tion have already come to light, and a
statement of others is being prepared.
The methods used were the same as those
in vogue in the other Southern States
that have been made solid for the DEM
ocrats. The way was prepared by chang
ing the law so as to place the entire
election machinery in the hands of the
Bourbons. Then it was an easy matter
to return 1,570 majority for Lee in such
a county as Halifax, in which the color
ed voters alone outnumber the whites by
several hundred. General Lee, it seems,
has the honesty to admit that the colored
voters supported the Republican ticket.
In letter to a Boston paper, written a
few days ago, he said that the colored
voters will not divide so long as the few
whites acting with them are sustained
by the National Republican party But
despits this solid colored vote for the
Republican ticket, aided by "a few
whites" General Lee claims 1870 major
ity IN a county that has nearly 800 more
black than white voters. And yet the
Democrats expect to divert attention
from these outrageous frauds by joining
with a few dishonest Free Traders in
