less. 1t originates in cold succession of colds
combined with impure blood. Disagreeable flow from
the nose tickngn the throat, offensive breath pain

tone to the whole system.

TIE indications are that the taily-sheet
forgers at Columbus will escape punish
ment. 4 telegram to this "wednesday
mornings Wheeling Register states that
the jury has three times reported to the
court the improba5ility of an agreement.
and then follows this significant declara-
ton: The wrangling over the PROPOSE

defendants is on, anil n0ns mil be tried.
"T1te tGr-pGyers profess" ," &c.
If the defendant who has just been
tried escapes punishment, it viii be sole
ly because of politics. The case made
against him was clear and conclusive
In this connection, We call particular az
tention to what was said b. Judge Thur
man in his argument to the jury concern
ing the dragging of politics into the case.
The Democratic party of Ohio assumes
the position of defender of tally-Sheet
forging in the interest and for the benefit
ofJohn R. Mclean. Except few Dem
Ocrats of Columbus and the Steubenville
Gazette, so far as has come under our OBJ
servation, not a Democrat of Ohio has
uttered word upon the subject except
in defense of the forgers. John r. Me
Lean is the master and boss of the party
even to the extent of compelling it to up
hold and endorse forgery of tally-sheets
in his interest.
1t is a sorrowful spectacle" said

Mr.. c. y. GAUMER, who was formerly
the head and front of the Democratic
party in this county, and who edited the
Democratic organ here for a number o!
years, seems to have contracted negro
phobia in its worst shape since he took
charge of the Mansfield Shield, which
was almost foremost during the war in
antagOnizing the Union cause. The
following extracts from recent numbers
of that paper shows that its present ed
itor voices the old-time love of his party
for the colored race, and shoHld be suf-
licient to convince our eoiOred friends
of the undying devotion of the Demo-
cratic party to their interests:
The people of tne South are going to rule and
the time will never come when the negro will DOM
mate a single State, Congressional district, or
county in the South, NJ difference how numerous
the African may be OF how few the whites. This
is a white mans country and the white people af
the South are doing exactly right to maiatiin
their aScendancy. And what are You Republican
moarners going to do about it?
In its issue of March 18th is found
the following paragraph:
The Silisli desires to repeat and retteTate what
it said last week eoncerriIg ene frantic efforts of
Republican anarchists tn restore African rule in
the South. And we will say further, that there
isn't a State Congressional district cepnty, town
ship Or school district in the North that would
submit for one day to the domination of the negro
race The masses OF the negroes, wherever barge
numbers of them are found, are lazy, trifiing,
tiievin and vicious, and wherever they live in the
same community with white people the latter viii
always tind Why's ana means for maintaining the
asaendaacy, whether it be in the South, North,
East or West. 1t is the same the world over. The
white race is the superior. God made them 80 ana
you might well try TO undo any other part of his
work rs to try to establish negro dominion over
white people. II can't be done and never VIII be
dane in these United States. This is white mans
country.

Legisl ItuIe over there, and tonight a con
yenGoa OF life prisoners was held. Itwas
run pretty much as al public meetings or
gatherings are conducted. ana in some re
sDeccs was an improvement on some state
conventions. Better order prevailed. but
there w.gs the irresistible desire to make
speeches which is natural To American
IGJEeTin :. - There are one hun

held in what IS known rs the school room.
Quite & number of spectators were pres

The meeting was opened with prayer
by ChaDlain Dei}ruin. and An organization
was eff ected By making George Weir. of
Belmont county, Chairman, and Robert
Bruce, OF LOrain. and Charles Bolton. of

by various conTictS. some talking against

the pdrp0se of requesting legislation in
the interest OF life men, such rs permit

After noting the fact that life prisoners
constitute eight per cent. of the prison
population. and that great strides have
been made il prison management regard
ing al other grades OF prisoners, they re
solve:
While we recognize the fact that as vio-
latorS Of the law. we are under extreme.
unlimited sentence 0f imprisonment, with
nothing to hops for in TINS life but to sub
