Col. James f. Stewart is receiving some
very fiattering letters from different parts
CT the state regarding his candidacy for
clerk OF the supreme court, and is feeling
very good over the outlook. The following
is from the Ohio State Register of Washing

plimentary all the same: The Register is
not at all anxious TO see a republican elected

Advantage of Color Blindness.

1t might surprise you to know that oc-
casionally total color blindness has proven
a decided advantage. All colors appear
ing TO such an one as shades of gray, or
black, or white. An engraver thus af-
fected would possess keener ability TO
discern fine lines. A clerk in a mourning
goods department of large dry goods
store received extra compensation for his
acute eye for shades when it was found to
depend on total color blindness. Such
cases are exceptional as can be imagined
when railroad men are discharged for in
ability to distinguish a red from a green
lantern. Postofiice clerks have run short
in their cash accounts through selling
stamps of the wrong denomination, the
differently colored sheets getting into
the wrong drawers. and
Printer.

FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 10. 1886


Every republican. in Springfield should
remember the ward meetings, tonight, and
be there. These meetings are for the pun.
pose Of selecting delegates to the congres-
sional convention. and it is an important
matter. Do not rely on your neighbors to
attend to this important duty for you; it is
your business, aS well as theirs, and you
should do your part Of the work, and take
your part of the responsibility of sending
good republicans, tried and true, to repre-
sent you in the councils Of the party.
1t is mistaken idea. that the political
work is done in the conventions; it is done
at the ward meetings. These ward and
township meetings are the most important
Of all the party assemblies; there it is that
the people speak. and ii is from them that
the leaders catch their inspiration. The
meetings tonight will be short and you
should not permit anything else to mterter'
with your being present.
We refer you to the notices. published
elsewhere, of the time and place of the
meetings.

BUSINESS MEN
1t is WeII-estabIished fact that it is the
judiCous advertiser who succeeds in business
1t is the man who advertises that makes the

stop to think that there are grades in news
paper advertising just as there are grades in

SUCCESSFUL
ADVERTISING

Is thing to be acquired, and when once
acquired always brings success in business.
Now, the successful business concerns of the
country have demonstrated that the best place
for an advertisement is in newspaper of
large circulation, and of character and in1u-
ence, and nine -tenths of the money spent
otherwise for advertising is wasted, whether
it is put in handbiI|s, in Autographs or in cir
culars. The public read the newspaper, and
an important part of the news is its adver-
tisements. Almost invariably they throw
away unread the handbIIs and circulars.

wish to reach the trade of the County and
surrounding towns, we offer the
