AN ADMIRABLE SUMMARY.
The Globe Democrat bejjiua its re
port of the democratic national con
vention with the following paragraph,
which gives in its few lines as perfect
a history of the democratic party as if
it occupied over two volumes each as
arge as AYebstcr's Unabridged diction
ary:
At noon Tuesday the divine blessing
wa3 invoked upon the first chapter of
the seventh Blunder of the national
democratic convention. The first of
the series of which was committed at
Charleston in 1SG0, when the solid
south demanded thai the crimes ot the
pist should be recognized und protected
as the right of the future. The second
blunder was committed in this city in
1864, when an attempt was made tore
verse the engine ot history and make a
popular leader out of the unsuccessful
general. The third was in 1868, when
he apostle of cringing peace was put
up against the hero of successful war.
The fourth was in 1872. when the dem
ocrats resolved to play "She Stoops to
Conquer,' and when they stcoped so
low that they fell over. The fiflh was
when they played the electoral com
mission game to win what they thought
was theirs already. The sixth was when
they allowed their candidate to show
bis ignorauce in a tariff letter, and the
seventh is yet uncommitted in such
sense as to be clearly defined, bat is
gradually shaping itself on the horizon
so plainly that be who runs, though he
run cn crutches, or on all fours, can
read.
Mr. ILk x pricks opened the cam
paign by a speech at Indianapolis, in
which he leveled an attack at Secre
tary Chandler and the navy depart
ment. It only took Mr. Chandler
twelve hours to give the public a reply
ia which he showed that the fraud
committee had been done by a civil
ervice democrat who owed bis poei
tion to democratic senatorial and rep
resentative infl tence. "When Mr. Hen
dricks commenced to handle the -old
thing be didn't know it waa loaded.
Messrs. C1. Hulloer, Daniel Stout
Draper, Astronomical W. Crites, Chas.
Whopper Sherman, and peradventure
our telegraphic correspondent Bro.
Connor, shouhl not forget that in the
distribution of the loaves and fishes,
immediate')' following the election of
Mr. Grover Cleveland, that those who
first eland and paitake of tho crow diet
will be the first cm the l.?t3 for re
wards and biuctues. These demo
crat. c nuuiiuecs ouRht to be ratified.
Brethren, brace yourselveb and ratify.
There are about live hundred republi
cans in the city that enjoy the nomina
tions so well themselves that they will
gladly ais'iai in getting a crowd, and
may be induced to contribute toward
the geutml expense. Th:a public
would enj'iy listening to Bro. Crites in
a pliilosopliic.il argument on reform;
it would enjoy seeing Bro. Sherman
showering wledgn hammer Free Trade
blows taken from that straddle j lat
lorm. But above all the height of
pleasure would be to hear stone quarry
Draper eulogizing Mr. Cleveland for
hanging two Irishmen, and the Her
ald's next friend, liro. Con'ior, eulo
gizing Mr. Clevelaud as a friend of the
working men, and I he people of every
nation w ho have found a home iu this
new world.
They are r-iifying Cleveland's nomi
nation in England thousands of miles
away, and her at homo wre sit idly by
with all the hopes and promises of
olSce before our hungry eyea.
Men and brethren, wo repeat, this
will never do. In the immortal words
of Mr. Flannigan, of Texas, what are
we here tor?"
Let us be done with this foolish apa
thy ! Let ua arise and ratify !
Maj. D. II. Wheeler hands the
Uekald the report of the Ohio State
statistical agent, which report is com
piled from estimates returned from 7S0
townships in that State. This re
port, besides being a complete summa
ry of growing crops and stock, has pri
ces Of products as returned from tbe
diffexent sections of the State. The
most remarkable showing is this: The
average price of the wool clip in Ohio
in 1881-2, before the reduction of the
tariff, was 36 cents; the average price
1883-4 has been 27 cents, which gives
in round numbers a loss of $2,000,000
to the wool growers of Ohio, in this
year's wool clip alone.
These figures as stated before were
the returns of farmers from all over
the State who report to the State sta
tistical agent, who in turn reports to
the Agricultural Department at Wash
ngton. A more complete and reliable
exposition of loss iu dollars and cents
by the approach to Free Trade, could
not be given.
SPEAKERS IN THE SENATE.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: The
present average speaking in the United
States Senate is about 150 word3 per
minute, though there are several
speakers who utter more than 200.
Among the fastest speakers at present
are senators Beck, Ilawley, Plumb and
Morgan. B'ck leads the l et S -uat.r
George, of Mississippi, is perhaps the
slowest-. Daniel Webster was a very
low talker, and he would not average
over 1C0 words a minute. Henry Clay
epoke much faster, rolling out about
150 words to a minute. - Calhoun was
also slow until he became roused up
with enthusiasm of his subject, when
his words would flow more rapidly.
Congressman Seiskek, of New
York, said before the nomination of
Cleveland: "Mr. Blaine has better
prospects of carrying New York than
Garfield had iu 1S80, and the situation
is constantly improving. The people
throughout the entire state are bis
friends, regardless of political lines,
and the republicans are his enthusiastic
supporters. If Cleveland should be
nominated, Blaine would walk away
from him in New York. There is
nothing to Cleveland as a presidential
quantity. The campaign would drag
on democratic hands the moment he
should be nominated. Tbe democrats
in congress have made a record from
which the party cannot escape. It has
been a roaring farce, the session just
closed. Tbe people elected 325 repre
Kentatives, but three men and tbe
speaker have run things Randall, Hol
man and Well.r."
This paper hopes by live, continued
effort, to spur democracy in this local
ity up to a point wherein they may dis
pel the blues Ions enangh to make an
attempt at ratifying tbe democratic
The IIeuald is for ratification; as an
exchange says, Mr. Clcverlcs and
Hendlaud ought to be recognized.
Blaine, Logan aud victory, can now
sec the democratic circus pass by with
the tail at the head of the ticket.
Ben Butlek will run lor President.
He will make his fight in New York,
and it is unnecessary to say that the
fight will be a good one.
Dr. Miller announces bis depart
ure for the east, where he will, no
doubt, "fix things,' and be prepared to
carry Oregon for Cleveland in the fall
election.
Tue Governor or' New Jersey says
that the nomination of Mr. Cleveland
was the weakest that could have beeu
made, and the Governor is a good old
democratic.
The Herald teels the hot weather
as well as the rest; but it feels the ne
cessity for a democratic ratification
meeting, also, and has hopes it may
yet be secured.
Judqe F. VV'ICKHAM. ot Norwalk-
unio, says umo is a uiaine state all
over. We shall give him almost any
majority up to 50,000. He is the popu
lar choice among the republicans, and
will poll a larger vote than any repub
lican who could have been named, un
less au Ohian had been selected. There
are elements at work iu our favor that
will count largely iu general results.
The Germans, who went over to the
democrats on the Scott law issue, have
begun to come back to us, since the
democrat legislature, after playing fast
and loose with them, adjourned with
out repealing the law, aud tbe Su
preme Court, that was expected to de
clare it uuconstitutional, has not been
able to find an excuse to do so. The
Germans have found that democratic
promises are not kept, and being repub
licans on all other issues except the lo
cal ones, are returning to us. Our can
didate fox Secretary of State, General
Robinson, is a strong man, and that
will also help.
Vital Questions ! ! ! !
Ask the most eminent pliysican
Ot any school, what is the best thing
in the world for quieting and allay inj'
all irritation of tin nerves, aud curing
.ill from s of nerves, complaints, giving
natural, cmidiike reiresning sleep
always?
Aud they will tell you unhesitatingly
"Some form of Hops t I I"
CHAPTER I.
Ask any or all of the most eminent
pbsicans:
"What is the best and only remedy
that can be relied on to cure all diseas
of the kidneys and urinary organs;
such as unguis disease, diabetes,
retention, or inability to retain urine,
nd the diseases and aliments peculiar
to Women''
And they will tell you explictly and
emphatically " Buchu Iff"
Ask the same pnyicians
"What is the most reliable and surest
cure tor liver diseases or dyspepsia;
constipation, inigestion, billiousness,
malaria fever, ague, &c.,' and they will
tell you :
Manarake I or Dandelion ! !
Hence when these remedies are com-
binded with others equally valuable.

such a wouderful and mysterious
curative power is de veloped, wbicn is
