IL was agreed that the delegates present
cast the foil vote of the counties they rep
resented, then the counties got together to
fix mn their ballots. Ohio county went
ont into another room to do a little schem-

claiming that the main fight was IN ONO

man became exhausted, and he announced
that the convention would proceed
with it's work without the Ohio county
delegation. But the Ohio county schemers
thought this was u bluff and didn't pay
much attention to il until the ballotiDg
commenced, then they decided that they
were not running the convention and they
took a sneak back and behaved them
selves.
The other counties decided that Ohio
county wanted too much. They were
willing to give her one candii ate and
thought they were entitled to some consid-
Grafton, and Ohio seeing that they would
take what they wanted n yway, &C
quiesced.
On the first ballot Campbell got 81 votes,
and was declared nominated. Then MIR.

as pure and wholesome articles is,
therefore, criminal, and it is satisfac-
tory to notice that several persons en-
gagged in such sale have already been
brought to Justice in the courts.
The official analysis have recent
ly been active in the pursuit OF these
dishonest articles. The baking pow
ders Of several states have been care
fully and critically examined. The OF
ficials are surprised at the large amount
of lime and alum goods found. 1t is
a suggestive fact tnat no baking pow
der except the Royal has been found
without either lime or alum, and many
contain both. DR.. Prices baking pow
der has been found to contain nearly
~ per cent of lime; Clevelands III per
cent. of impurities; the phosphate pow
ders over 12 per cent. of lime.
The chief service of lime is to add
weight. 1t is true that lime, when sub
jected to heat, gives off a certain
amount of carbonic acid gas, but a
uuicklime is left-a caustic OF most
powerful nature. A small quantity of
dry lime upon the tongue, or in the
eve, produces painful effects; how
much more serious must these effects
belon the stomach, intestines and kid
neys, more particularly of infants and
and especially when the lime
is taken into the system day after day,
and with almost every meal. Thls Is
said by physicians to be one OF the
causes of indigestion, dyspepsia, and
those painful diseases of the Kidneys
now 50 prevalent.
AdulteratiOn with lime is quite as
much to be dreaded as with alum, which
has heretofore received the most
emphatic condemnation from food an
alysts, physicians and chemists, for the
that while alum may be partially
dissolved by the heat of baking it is
impossible to destroy or change the
nature of the lime so that the entire
amount in the baking powder passes,
with all it's injurious properties, into
the stomach.
The large profits from the manufac-
ture of lime and alum baking powders
has placed many of them in the market.
They are to be found in the stock OF al,
most every retail dealer, and are urged
np0n customers calling for baking
powders upon all occasions. Because
of their well-known detrimental char
acter it is desirable that prompt means
be taken to suppress their manufacture.
Pure bak ng powders are one of the
chief AUS to the cook in preparing per.
feet and wholesome food. While those
are to be obtained of well-eStablished
reputation, like the Royal, of Whose
purity there has never been question.
it is proper to avoid all Others.

THE position of the Independents or

Dental election is no doubt accurately
defined by the New York Evening Post,
a leading organ of these enterprising
sinners against the g. o.p.
We shall advocate Mr.. Cleveland's
reelection until the Republican party
produces somebody to oppose him who
is not only superior to James G. Blaine,
but superior to Mr.. Cleveland himself;
and more than this, who is certain to
be free from the Blaine influence.
Blaine is not rose who would smell
sweeter if known by any other
name. In fact, the word Blaine We
consider, in politics, a generic name.
1t covers whole tribe of pOlltlclans.
A candidate who admired Blaine, VINO
saw nothing wrong in Blaine, who said
he would on various important occa-
sions have done in Blaine's place what
Blaine did, or who thinks Blaine wise
and good man, would, in our humble
opinion, be Just as bad as Blaine HIM

BOOM!
Rohn's Excavator Explodes Early This
Morning.

Rohn's Excavator Explodes Early This
Morning.
About eight o'clock this morning,
while Brainard Rohn was engaged i'll
cleaning out a cesspool at the Simpson
VI. II. parsonage, on South Market
street his odorless eXcayatOr exploded
with great force, knocking the back end
ont OF the huge wagon and throwing
Rohn to the ground, splitting the third
finger of his right hand, bruising his
!eg and tearing his clothing. The
horses attached to the excavator started
to run, but were quickly checked. Had
the men been pumping behind the
wagon, as is usually done, instead of at
one side, it is very probable that some
of them might have been seriously, If
not fatally injured.
The cause of the explosion, which
blew out the entire hind end of the ex-
cavator, was at first supposed to be due
to gases, but this is an error. The air
hole in top of the excayator is never
closed, and of course the gas could
escape through it. This gas is burned
by an ingenious fire box, located over
the air hole. The men had just began
to pump when the explosion occurred,
Rohn keeps his wagon at Theodore
Zeigler's blacksmith shop on MahOning
street. During the night Mrs. Zeigler
was awakened by some noise out among
the wagons in the yard. She aroused
her husband, who went out, and saw a
man slipping away from the excavator,
and disappeared in the darkness. 1t
is likely that some of Rohn's enemies
had poured quanty of dyna-
mite or some other explosive into
the excavator, and when Rohn went to
adjust the fire box just after the pump
ing began this morning, he Jared the
wagon, causing the explosion. This
theory is probably correct, as with the
air escape, no explosion from gases
could result. Rohn is very indignant
over the scoundrelly act of the persons
who committed the outrage, and it is
to be hoped they will be located and
punished.
The excavator was taken to repair
shop. Rohn desires us to say to his
patrons that he will be ready again to
fulfill all contracts.

THE Republican party, according to
the nauseating stuff in the Cleveland
Leader, is wonderful party. "The
policy of the Republican party has Gre
ated the grandest industrial system
under which wages are three to five
times higher than in Europe"
The numerous strikes under this "sys-
tem;" the panic and bankruptcy OF
l873-77; the many laboring people who
are idle, tell tale that throws doubt
upon the system at least.
As to the Republican monetary sys-
tenn" the Leader lauds so, it is only nee
essary to refer to the long years that
their government paper money, gteen-
backs, were only worth about oO per
cent on the average. OF course, ac-
cording to the Leader, the 6. o. p. can
not do otherwise than right.

DANGEROUS FOOD ADu1TDRAT1oN
The Fraudulent Use of Alum and Lime
in Cheap Baking Powders.

The Fraudulent Use of Alum and Lime
in Cheap Baking Powders.
If consumers prefer to buy an adul-
terated article Of food because it can
be had at a lower price they undoubt,,
edly have the right to do SO, provided
the adulterants are not of a character
INJURIOUS to health. If such articles
are not falsely sold as pure and the Gus
toner is not deceived as to their real
character, the transaction is not illeglt-
innate.
But the great danger in the traffic in
adulterated food arises from the decep-
ton that is practiced by manufacturers
usually chasing. such goods as pure.
This is almost invariably done when
the adulterant is one that is injurious
to health. For instance, manufactur-
ers of alum and lime baking powders
not only fail to inform the public OF
the real character of their goods, but
carefully conceal the fact that they are
made from these poisonous articles.
Most of these manufacturers also claim
that their articles are pure and whole
some, while some go further and pro.
claim boldly that they are cream OF
tartar goods, or even the genuine Royal
Baking Powder itself. No consumer
will buy alum baking powders know
inglv. for it is we'll understood that
thew are detrimental to health. The
