REFERRING to the nomination of Col.
J. ID. Taylor for Congress by the Repub>
licans of this district, the wel-known
level-headed editor of the Salem Repub-
lican, J. K. Rukenbrod, says: There will
be but few, if any, better men in the
next Congress,-certainly none on whom
their constituents can more fully rely
for fair, open intelligent representa-
tiou. 1t were well if Congress were
composed Of as able, and especially, hon
est, men as is Col. Taylor. The two
Taylors, Col. j. d. and Judge Ezra will
never bring discredit upon their State.
Had not Hon. L II. Taylor, of the 18th
district, declined denomination, Ohio
would have had three good Taylors in
Congress, enough to dress down the
whole House, if necessary. But We be-
gan this item to congratulate the 18th
district on their denomination of Col. j.
d. Taylor, of Guernsey. They know
their man. He has been tried, and new.
er found wanting. His calling was
unanimous; his election will be sure

Constitutional Catarrfl.

No single disease has enLailed more suffering
or hastened the breaking up OF the constitu>
tion than catarrh; The sense of smell. taste,
sight, hearing, the human voice, the mind-one
or more and sometimes all, yield to its destruc-
tive influences; the poison distri buted through
out the system by 1t attacks every vital force,
and breaks up the most robust of constitutions;
IL nored because but little understood by most
physicians, those suffering from it have little
hope to be relieved of 1t this side of The grave;
1t is time then that the popular treatment of
this terrible disease by remedies within the
reach of all passed into hands at once compe-
tent and trustworthy; the new and hitherto
untrled method adopted by DR.. Sanford in the
preparation OF his Radical Cure has won the
hearty approval of thousands; 1t is instanta-
neous in afording relief in all head colds,
sneezing, snuff1ing and 0bstructed breathing,
and rapidly removes the most oppressive
sy ymptoms, clearing the mead, sWeetening the
breath. restoring the sense of SMELL taste and
hearing, and nutralizing the constitutional
tendency Of the disease towards the lungs,
liver and kidneys.

ALLEN o. MYERS, of the Enquirer,
overreached himself to create sensa-
tion at the State Convention last week.
He made an affidavit, charging that W.
S. Cappellar bribed delegate from Gin
cinnati to vote for him for Member of
the State Central Committee. Cappellar,
very much to his surprise, turned the
tables on Myers, and had him arrested
for perjury in making the affidavit.
Finding the predicament in which he
had got himself, he disclaimed any in
tention of charging Cappellar with such
an offenSe, and when the time came for
hearing Monday, before the Justice in
Columbus, failed to appear. On the same
day, the case against Myers for perjury,
was heard and the defendant made such
a pitiful plea, and begged so hard, that
the Justice discharged him on the ground
that it was call a mistake" and that
Myers did not Intentionally cause the
arrest Of Cappelar.

The Saloon Question in st. Clairsville.

The petition asking the council to grant the
people the opportunity to exercise their plain
right TO vote on this question, has been widely
circulated and has received many more sigma
lures than a majority of the votes in the Cor
poration. The purport of the petition has
been strangely misunderstood. 1t simply
asks the council to allow the people to assume
the responsibility of endorsing or prohibiting
the saloon, relieving the conucil of everything
except the duty of passing the necessary res
olutlon to let the people act. If this is wrong
or unwise the people will bear the blame
and suffer the consequences.
To this petition there is 20 remonstrance or
open dissppIoval that dares to take public
form. Its, however, curreHtly reported that
verbal and private remOnstrances' have been
lodged with that honorable body, and
some persons, who claim to speak with au>
thority, say assurances have been given that
the petition will be refused. Some say it will
be let alone, i. G., the rights of the people
will be ignored; while yet Others predict there
will be no quorum and the stay away policy
will prevail. These are unfair reflections
upon the character of the men who have been
honored by the voters of this village. 1t is not
possible that pledges have been given in ad
vance, or that those who have been honOred
by the suffrages and confidence of the people,
will treat the petition in an unmanly way.
These reports are doubtless kind of 'whistl-
ing to keep the courage up of those who an
ticipate that the council will listen to the
prayer of the people Nevertheless, as the
time for action draws near. there will be
pardonable curiosity on the part of some, to
see whether current predictions are true or
false.
The law does not make it mandatory on
that body to grant the vote, but who would
expect the legislature to assume that it is
necessary to command councilmen to be the
servants of the people and to grant them the
exercise of their rights? 1t is argued that the
present council was not elected to close The
saloons, and THAT this being a new issue,
should await an election when it can be brought
to the front. The council is not asked to close
the saloons, but to give the people q vote on
that question. The people ask that special
election be granted and that this question
come to the front now II in their discretion
they refuse to grant the prayer of the people
or cause it to go by default, they assume the
heavy responsibility of sheltering the seven
saloons from long suffering community, and
must expect to answer to those who placed
them in office.
The people will still have the sure means of
peaceable redress and memories which will
last until the coming April A VOTER.

THE Republican party of Ohio has not
nominated a professional" laboring
man, "jaw-smith,' who has not worked
with his hands for 10! these many years,
and yet expects all men who do so to
vote for him in order to elevate him po-
litically. But the Republican party has
put itself squarely on record on the Ia
Dor reform question, aud we think the
gent men. Expressions have come to
US from those who have made lifelong
study of this problem, that the plank is
thereto ever adopted by a political party.

Mr.. A. G. SEDwICK, the special envoy
sent by Minister BaysTd to look up the
law facts concerning the Cutting arrest
and iml risOnment, is credited with cut-
ting pretty 6gure last week in the City
of Mexico. Possibly presuming it un-
necessary, he failed to bear with him
the proper credentials, and hence failed
of an audience with the Mexican author
tiles, whereupon he accepted an invita>
tion of lot of young bloods, who learn
ed that he had unlimited credit at. one
of the banks in the city, to attend a
jockey club dinner. There. as the story
goes. he imbibed too freely, and became
very drunk. The boys garlanded him
with flowers, and twiued around him
evergreen ropes, and paraded him
through the principal streets, and
brought him up at house of i'll fame,
thus ending the street display. OF
course Americans are proud of being
represented at foreign court by men
of the class to which this special envoy
of the Cleveland administration evil
denny belongs.
