REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLAT

The platform reads as follows:
The republicans of the United States
assembled by their representatives in
national convention, appealing for the
popular and historical justification of
their claims to the matchless achieve
ments of 80 years OF republican rule,
earnestly and confidently address
themselves to the awakened intelli-
their c%ountrymen in the following dec
laration offacts and principles:
For the first time since the civil war
the American people have witnessed
the calamitous consequences of full
and restricted democratic control OF
the government. It has been a record
of unparalleled incapacity, dishonor
and disaster. In administrative man.
agement it has ruthlessly sacrificed in
dispensable revenu entailed an I'M
ceasing deficit, eked out ordinary cur
rent expenses with borrowed money.
piled up the public debt by 1852, 000, 900
in time OF peace, forced an adverse bal
ance Of trade, kept a perpetual men
ace hanging over the redemption fund,
pawned American credit to alien syn
dicates. and reversed all the measures
and results Of successful republican
rule. In the broad effect of its policy
1t has precfpitated panic. blighted in
dustry and trade with prolonged de-
preston. closed factories. reduced work
and wages, halted enterprise and Grip
pied American production while stimu-
Iating foreign production for the
American market.
Every consideration Of public safety
and individual interest demands that
the government shall be rescued from
the hands Of those who have shown
themselves incapable to conduct 1t
without disaster at home and dishonor
abroad, and shall be restored to the
party which for 80 years administered
1t with uneQualed success and prosperi-
ty. And in this connection we heartily
endorse the wisdom patriotism and the
success Of the administration Of Presi-
dent Harrison.

CONCENTRATIONS.
wanted-More Enthusiasm.

Wanted-More Enthusiasm.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Many ardent Republicans and advo- cates of the sound money policy are nowadays remarking, and justly so
 upon the seeming apathy of the party managers as shown by their failure thus far to do something to create en- thusiasm for the candidates and prin- ciples of their choice. It has now been several weeks since the St Louis con- vention, and not even ratification meeting has been held locally, and and the dearth of campaign ban ners is rather surprising. Perhaps the political sachems have decided to run the campaign with as little noise and buster as possible, which, on the whole, may possibly be the part of wisdom. But few votes for either par ty, we suppose, are ever gained by long campaign processions, brass bands and pyrotechnic displays, but it really seems as though the present occasion demanded the display of little more puiliiiS oCdiiliSo thC icSiliOo OI Oul Cciu- didates. Thus far we have noticed only three such in our city-that at the headquarters of the Republican League, that flung out by the Young Mems Republican club, and that of the Ninth Ward Republican Cub. Here tofore we have seen them strung over Chapel and Church streets, but none has so appeared so far this cam paign. As for ward enthusiasm, the Republicans of the "old Ninth" are showing more patriotic spirit, doing more work and bringing about larger results than all the other wards of the | city combined. The young Republicans managing affairs in that ward are thorough Wide Awakes'' in every | sense of the term, and have set an example that the "shouters'' for Me Kinley and Hobart, Protection, Sound ! Money and Prosperity in other wards will do well to emulate.

Scales ap- peared in certain parts, on which vine- gar, which was used to cure them, had little effect. The scalp of the patient was also injured. A bald place, the size of silver dollar, appeared about the temples. The bare scalp. too, be- came exceedingly white. The remain ing hairs seemed to be thin and were easily drawn out. On the back there appeared a spot as large as a dinner plate, from which the skin has fallen. The surrounding skin turned a brown ish color. The effects apparently came almost without warning, as the physi- clans failed to notice any alarming in- dications.
