To D. Thorton West Editor Of SEHfGy Nr1rs:
You and are personal friends. have
known you from childhood. Politically,
We are partisanS. You are an unyieiding
democrat. am an nuncomprumiSing repub-
lican. In your paper of yesterday October
81 YOU wrote and published an infamous
fal,ehood upon the republicans of this city.
You make the charge that the republican
party Of this city intend TO capture the polls
in this city tomorrow. for the purpose of
committing fraud upon the ballot-6UN-and
urge the democrats 10 turn out and elect
judges and clerks. aud thereby secure
free ballot. Mr. West. your implied charge
is false. You knew il was false when you
wrote it. You know the republicans OF this
city. to a great extent. are your business
friends. The democratic party-fTom
the great frauds of the PlaquemineS,
in 1874, till the present time-has
been the party Of fraud at elections
in the United States. Many OF the
penitentiarieS of the nation today contain
democratic cOnVlCts. serving their time TO-
frauds committed upon tht bdllpI- mere
iS not a republican in any prison in :he ma

say. when you charge the republican party
of Springfield with the intention of commit

The fact that under the last Democratic
administration the bodies of dead convicts
were skinned in the penitentiary and the
human skin made into canes under the su-
pervision of the Democratic officers has been
proven. The only reason that the ex-offi-

our laws this offense against decency and hu-
manity is not punishable. Democrats are
now going about asking "What are you going

William B. Baker.

William B. Baker is a good man to vote
for tomorrow. He has been republican
from remote period, and he fought for
the good cause in German township when
it was personally perilous to do so. He
has always been a stout and loyal defender
of his country's cause. Then, too, he has
proved good sheriff. No complaint has
ever been made of any lack of faithfulness
and efficiency in the discharge Of his official
duties. Baker is a good fellow, too, on
general principles, and he is fairly entitled
to the support of all republicans tomorrow.

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies
of a severe attack Of rheumatism, neural
gia or sciatira and relief comes, il seems aS
if new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings Of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found To their great joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
O. p Shafier, formerly managing editor
Of the News Register, Youngstown, %,
said in 4 recent Interview with him:
have suffered from rheumatism for about
thirteen years. At different intervals |
have been unable to attend to my business
for weeks at a time The most of my
trouble was in my hands and arms The
pain was usually accompanied with CON
siderable swelling of my hands. During
these years | have used many kinds Of
remedies with only temporary relief. Being
in the newspaper business | had come in
contact with various medicines that were
advertised in our columns, but really never
had much faith in patent medicines. 4
little over three years ago my attention was
called to Athlophoros. ] noticed from
time TO time the strong endorsement of
parties that had used the remedy and was
sent TO us for publication in our paper.
Through this means concluded TO try the
medicine for my own case. Twas relieved
and cured in remarkably short time"
Have you been troubled with rheuma-
tism since" was asked al was entirely
rid of it for two years and then had another
slight attack, but few doses of Athlopho-
ros soon drove it away; since that time,
about year ago, have been entirely free
from rheumatism. This was all done with
less than bottle of medicine. | always
recommend it for rheumatism"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co, liz Wall ST., New York, will
send either carriage paid on receipt Of
regular price, which is Sl.00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and Soc for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in
digestion weakness nervous debility. diseases
OF women, constipation, headache impure
blood, &c, AthlOPhOrus Pills are unequaled.

A writer in Home IuIIn-s says: II sevur,
to me almost wicked that with untouched
continents of fertile earth, ready to support
mankind in generous plenty, we crowd and
tester together in the cities OF the Old world
like ants upon dust heap. The life in Eng
land here is artificial and unhealthy. The
land does not support us. We are living on
it in defiance of the laws OF nature ana
we cannot expect to prosper. Man to be
happy must move in harmony with nature,
not in opposition to her rules. So long as a
people draw their suStenancs from the soik
that they inhabit their existence rests upon a
firm foundation, and no great harm can hap.

A Sea Captains Money.

Speaking of Ills business of hunting for
lost treasure. Capt. Bridgcwatcr told me
yesterday how he had been sent to New
Hampshire to hunt for the money of a
retired sea captain who died very sud
denly. He said: The captain had been
a queer sort Of Il man, very taCiturn and
always taking trips out of town after his
money. He wasn't "A miserly man, and
| concluded that he hadn't buried it. He
slept in no one particular place, and
was pretty sure that there was no place
in the house where he felt better con
tented than another. So said: Bring
his clothes"
We went over them. The binding of
one Of them was wide, and his wife said
as | tore it of: He always scwed his
clothes up himself. He was aS handy rs
woman with needle. Queer" She
added. why he always wanted to wear
that suit to the last. Poor dear and she
dropped a tear. In the meantime | had
pulled out an oily silk packet, holding
six bonds for $1,000 each, and we found
eighteen more i'll the same suit. His
trips out Of town meant something, You

Department OF State"
There Is not county or state in which
these seed companies operated but what had
one Of these circular cards sent from the
secretary of state to some one residing there
in There are hundreds of farmers living in
Ohio who can attest this.
Not satisfied with giving these warnings
alone, Gen. Robinson drew q bill, which
Capt Little, of Muskingum county, Intro
duced and the Legislature last winter passed,
which put stop TO the whole swindling busi-
ness and drove the swIndlers out of the state
This new law has had the desired effect. Ii
has put stop TO the whole swindling bust
ness. and not only prevented the dragging Of
any more farmers into it, but prevented the
Bohemian oats men from disposing Of the
notes they had already obtained TO innocent
purchaser II they could so dispose of the
notes, the farmer as against an innocent pur-
chaser could not set up the want of conSde
ration for the notes, and the facts OF the
frauds and swindle which had been perpe-
trated on him. Therefore, the negotiation Of
these notes was by this law made felony.
This law, advertised as 1t was by the pub
lie press through the efforts of Secretary
Robinson, was potent in putting purchasers
on guard, and prevented large number OF
farmers who had been most innocently led
into the swindle from being cut off from the
Just defenses they had against their notes.
these were the two objects of the law. To
prevent further swindling, and 10 prevent
the negotiation of all Bohemian oats notes
tlat had already been negotiated. The re-
suit shows that they have been most success
fully accomplished There is not a Bohemian
oats company now operating in the United
States. Some of the projectors are in Can
ada Many are under indictment for OBJ
tanning signatures TO notes by false pretenses
while the remainder are on the anxious seat
so far as heard from
Some unprincipled slanderers, fearful
that Gen Robinson's able efforts in behalf OF
the farmers may cause some Demo ratio
farmers To vote for him have been and are
disseminating the fouleSt Misrepresentation
and endeavoring TO cate the impression
that Gen. Robinson as working for, in
stead of against. the b, amian oat and red
line wheat swlndlers. lis is the most I'M
principied move yet made, and cannot but
react on its authors Some of them have
also had the hariihOod to claim that last win
ter's law 10 prevent the sale of Bohemian
oats and red line wheat was in the interest OF
the Bohemian oats men, well knowing that
if this were true then is It also true that laws
furnishing embezzlement, arson and forgery,
are in the interest of persons guilty of these
crimes. Such tactics as these won't work
with the intelligent and honest citizens of
OHIO, and Gen Robinson will be given the
credit he deserves.

A newspaper item having become current
to the effect that the Ohio Wesleyan uni

ident Payne cOrrects the false report. So
far from co-educatiOp having been aban-
doned in that institution, it is pre-eminently
successful. and gives entire satisfaction to
the faculty. trustees, students and patrons.
Seven hundred and fifty students were in
attendance in the university last year, two
hundred and eighty-twO of whom were
ladies. Three hundred new students have
entered the university this fall, number
heretofore unequalled, one hundred and
TWENTY-FIVE of whom are ladies. The
freshman class numbers one hundred and
six, thirty-seven Of whom are ladies. No
body connected in any way with the insti-
tuition has ever even discussed the question
of abandoning cO-education since its adOp-
ton nine years ago. The university is en-
joying the most gratifying prosperity in all
its departments. and this prosperity is the
result of the efficiency of the work of the
institution.

James w. Newman, Gen. Roblnson'S Demo
cratic predecessor.
The statutes of Ohio permit a company to
be formed for any lawful purpose, except
dealing in real estate and for any prOfes-
sional business All of these seed companies
are incorporated for the lawful purpose of
dealing in seed and grain, and for buying
and selling seed and grain. The secretary of
state is simply a ministerial officer He has
no judicial power His duties are purely
clerical. like those Of a recorder in the filing
of deeds Therefore, when the articles of in
corporation of this company were presented
to Secretary Of State Newman, he had no
power to reject them and refuse to file them,
inasmuch as the purpose, as stated, was per
fectly lawful
When Secretary OF State Robinson came
into office he found that his predecessor, Mr..
Newman, had already set the precedent in
regard TO these seed companies, and in fol-
lowing that precedent he simply did what
his predecessor had done. In none of the
articles of incorporation Of these companies
do Won find the method in which thev pro
