that 9 single application Of Sanford's Radical
Cure for Catarrh will afford instantaneous

Radical Cure manifests itself In instantaneous

1t the occasion for indulging In some

Further, that he was the central figure and

Now the Dr. knew, when he uttered that

convention and that his voice was
never heard, In the convention

convention. Now, we have no objec-
ton to Mr.. Ingersoll being q republican,

to work upon the prejudices, of his listen

REPUBLICAN
COUNTY TICKET.

The progress Of the campaign in the United
States is viewed from the European stand
point with an interest as profound as IL is in
the United States. 1t is the opportunity Of
England. IL is the long looked for occasion
upon which the cheaper labor and the cheap
or fabrics Of the old world expect to invade
the new and lower the wages Of American
workingmen TO the European standard. 1t is
net contest of capital against capital; It is
not q contest OF partisan against partisan.
II is much higher than either Of these. II
sranscends al party motive. Whether the
great mass OF American citizens who earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow shall
be seriously reduced in their emolument from

the demands of public taste are entirely
