Pr sfdent Harri, on's First Message.

If the message of President Har.
rison is considered with regard
to the words contained it may be
called ponderous document, for
that it is voluninous no one will
dare deny, as it fills nine and one
half closely printed columns. If
however it be measured with re-
gard to craftsmanship and original
ity of thought it will undoubtedly
be called weak production.
1t will have few readers and few
who read will be impressed by it's
contents.
His suggestions are as non-com-
initial as can well be, but at the
same time vaguely indicates that
he is favorable to some sort of
Tariff revision, an INDECENT pension
law, Federal school appropria-
tion and govern mental election
law.
He is silent on the Mormon ques-
ton, and, so far as we can see,
might have kept silent on all
others.

An honest Swede tells his story
in plain but tunmistakable language q
for the benefit of the public. One
of my children took a severe cold
and got the Group. l gave her
teaspoonful ofC fCnamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and five minutes later l
gave her one more. BY this time
she had to cough up the gathering
i'm her throat. Then she went to
sleep and slept good for fifteen
minutes. Then she got up and
vomited; then she went back to
bed and slept good for the remaind-
er of the night. She got the Group
the second night and l gave the
same remedy with the same good
results. / write this because /

were counted and tailed contrary
to law.
1t is further charged that errors
of count in Hamilton county as
now reported give Lampson nine
more votes than were cast for him,
and to Mr.. Marquis fifteen less than
were cast for him.
1t is further claimed that the re-
turns OF the 4th ward of the city
of Findlay are illegal and void and
cannot be counted. In this ward
Mr. La ampson had l13 majority. Tn
precinct A. of the city of Youngs-
town, Mr.. Lampson is accredited,
in the returns, rs receiving 247
votes and Mr.. Marquis with 16l,
making a total of 40S votes where
us in truth and in fact there were
cast in said precinct only 355 votes
rs shown by the poll-books. Several
other errors of a like character are
noted and contestant claims that
on an accurate count of all the
votes as cast he has majority
and is entitled to be declared elect
