rights and the power of every voter in
the North.
A vote for he so-called Democratic
ticket in Chic next Tuesday is practt'
cslly an endorsement of this gigantic
wreng. Its candidate for Governor de-
fends it. No newspaper of that party
in the State objects to it. We repeat:
1t is not question of the rights of the
colored man of the South; but shall a
voter in Georgia or South Carolina have
more than double the power at the polls
that voter in Ohio or Indiana has :?
Must two of Us stand up to be counted
against one in the South?
This is the paramount and overshad-
owing issue before the country. Such
gross wrong and subversion of the very
cornerstone of our institutions will not
long be tamely submitted to. At pres
ent the practical course is to vote down
the party in the North which excuses
and sustains such a stupendous wrong
and the means to remedy it will be
found. A temporizing course, or con
doning of the crime. cannetfail to result
seriously at no distant day.

THE Farmers Eeyiew, Chicago pc.
riodieal, has obtained reports from 1.4O0
correspondents representing every coun-
ty of the ten States which produced
about 70 per cent. of the entire corn
crop last year. These correspondents
give the area and condition of corn in
their sections, and from the figures thus
obtained the total yield in the ten great
corn States is estimated at 1885, 100000
bushels against the 1881, 100000 report+
ed last year by the Agricultural Bureau
at Washington. If the yield of the rest
of the country is recKoned at the official
figures of last year the total crop becomes
1,970,000,000 bushels, and it is almost
certain that the crop is larger than that
of 1884 in nearly every State. OF course
such crop estimates are uncertain things
at best, but there is every reason to be
lieve that the total corn crop of the Uni
ted States will not fall far short of two
billion bushels.

Chronic DYsenferK.

Mr.. James Brannan, Second avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa, writes For two years
l have been constantly troubled with a
chronic diarrhea, or dysentery, having
had, on an average, from twenty to
twenty-five passages every twenty-four
hours, and every one bloody. I had
thoroughly tried all the prominent ply
sicians in Pittsburgh, was twice in the
West Penn Hospital, the first time thir
teen weeks, and though 1 left it much
better, yet in five days l was as bad as
ever. l then tried two other great doc
tors in this city, and one of them finally
assured me l was not long for this world,
and advised me to write to my friends
about it. l next went to DR.. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do anything for me. He examined me,
smiled, and said, he could stop the bloody
discharges in less than two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA, and l have now
been entirely well for several weeks, and
never felt better in my lif though am
still taking his PERUNA. l will take it
whenever I need medicine.
Mr.. Patrick Burns, Pittsburgh, writes
al have suffered intensely from piles and
chronic diarrhea. l was treated by five
of the best physicians and surgeons in

constantly worse. Finally three of them
said my only hope was an operation.

This is question that appeals to the

ALL the coal mines along the c., L. &

ed down. The strike started at May
nard, and was OccasiOued by demand
from the werkmen that a man named
Morgan. who was discharged for belong
ing to the union, should be re instated.
The coal company retOrted that no union
men should be employed, and the mines
stopped as the miners all belonged to the
National Union formed recently in In
dianapolis. The situation is just about
this: The men demand to be recognized
as union men, and the Pittsburgh &

have no association men in their em>

Italians, going to work in the Bridgeport

"THE SILENT SOUTH"
The MOnstrOus Wrong of the Age
Votes Silenced so that it Requires
Two Men in Ohio to Equal
One in Georgia.

Following the close of the war the
government of the country-legislative'
executive and judicial-was wholly in
the hands of the Republicans. For a
time the States which had been in in:
surIection we're under military govern
ment. The men Who had been in rebel
lion were humiliated and quiet. Soon
their Northern allies began clamoring
about military government. A Republi-
can Congress passed aBd a Republican
President approved what were known
as the Reconstruction measures" The
survivors of the Confederate Cause SOL
emnly stipulated as condition prece+
dent that the enfrsnchised blacks would
be considerably treated. Encouraged
by their friends of the North, they soon
threw off the mask, and boldly usurped
the governments of half dozen States.
No more fragrant outrage-no groSser
usurpation-has taken place in the his
tory of the country. They unblushing+
ly avow their guilt, and the candidate
for Governor of the Democratic party
of Ohio, excuses and defends the usur+
patton. The State governments of Lou
isiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina, and
Florida, represent bloody usurpations
and fraud and crimes, such as this coun-
try never before knew, and which if
sustained or condened by the country
are an end of popular government.
We have carefully compiled the vote
of few States for members of Con-
gress, in order that the people of Bel
mont county may see the hideous crime
in all its enormity. Representation in
Congress is based upon the adult male
population as ascertained by the last
census. The voters are in those South
ern Congress districts, but are silenced
by methods that would put to shame the
devil himself, and are menace to our
form of government. Once the People
assent to a violation of the sanctity of the
ballot-box, popular government-"in
government of the people, by the peo
pie, and for the people"-is at an end
upon this continent.
The State of Georgia has ten Congress
districts. Following is the vote COM

OUR CANDIDATES.

Before another number of this paper
is issued. the sovereigns of Belmont
county, and of the state of Ohio, will
have, through the great silent ballot, de-
termined who shall rule over them for
the succeeding. two years, who shall
frame their laws, and who shall hold the
places of public honor and trust, and
attend to their local affairs.
As far as our Gubernatorial candidate
is concerned, no candidate for any office
ever made a more brilliant campaign
than has Judge Foraker. As candi-
date for the high Office of Governor, he
exhibits the same sterling and manly
traits of character which distinguished
him as boy when he shouldered his
musket and went forth in defense of
the Union. He is AN able, honest and
patriotic man, entitled to the suffrages
of all fair minded men.
Our district and county tickets are
made up of good material. Hon. s. Hogue,
our candidate for Senator, has during
one term shown that he is worthy of the
confidence reposed in him, and that he
has good qualities, which should reeom-
mend him to the people.
Our candidates for Representatives,
Hon. Samuel Hilles and Col. POorman, if
elected to the Legislature, will voice the
sentiment of their party on every public
measure. Both of them were gallant
soldiers, and should receive the solid
support of Republicans everywhere.
George Robinson, the Republican can
didate for Treasurer, is self-made man.
Left an orphan when quite young, by
dint or hard manual labor, he made his
way ia life, and by an honest, upright
course, has gained the esteem and conf
dence of business men, who esteem it a
good sign, that man is able to main
tain himself and family. and hammer
out of poverty comfortable home.
George Robinson is man of the people.
ami if all signs are not at fault, the peo
pie by their votes, will call him to be
their next Treasurer.
John G. Israel, our candidate for Com
missioner, has made good impression
upon the people. He is possessed of
firstrate business qualifications, and will,
If elected, make a valuable acquisition to
the board of commissioners. He has
plenty of common sense, which will
show up to good advantage should he
become member of the board. A vote
for Israel will be worthily cast. Re-
publicans should not falter in his sup-
port.
VIM. Lodge, who will be our next In
6rmary Director, is progressive farm
er, from observation and knowledge
well fitted for the office to which he will
be called. he is man of high social
standing, thoroughly honest and quail.
fed. He should run along with the Gov
ernor
Chalkley Dawson, the Surveyor, ought
to have unanimous vote. He is the
man for the place.
All of the candidates deserve the SOL
Id vote of their party, and if proper eff
forts are made in every voting precinct,
to get out a full vote, the whole Repub-
hcan ticket will be elected by such ma
jorities as will astonish the opposition.
