A full Description of Napo leon's Largest and Old est Business House. The first thing to attract alike attention of citizen and stranger the l coming to the town of Napoleon, is tho Golden Mortar, which can be seen for several miles in every direction, and which surmounts the grand three stony brick block occupied with a very large and elegant stock of drugs and books, the proprietor ana owner or wnicn is J. C. Saur, more commonly known s the "Little Dutchman. ' As you cosse into town and strike Perrv street at either end you will at once face tbe Crystal Mortar, located right in frat 01 tne GOOT, WOICU scatters no many colored rays of light in every direction both day and night. After looking at this light vou can ''about face' and see iust m many brilliancies inside, through the great massive plate glass front, which, by the way, is tne larg est in town; next, if you will open the great doors, which are more than twice the weight of any doors in town you are tiken free to step into one vt the grandest parlors which you have ever seen kept tor me exnioiuon ana sale of merchandise. Immediately on entering you are greeted on your right hand by one of the gewtieraaniy clerics who will at once snow you a spienma stock of lamps, lanterns, chandeliers, &C. which oooipies tbe show window And Dart of the counter on your right. The first show case on this side is filled with a splendid variety of cigars, smok ins tobacco, meerschaum pipes and ci rar holders of tbe latest tyles. The next case is twelve feet long and filled with the largest stock and great est variety of pocket boots, bill books, purses for ladies and gentlemen in kid, plush and ouckskio, aiso a lot or drug gists supplies ana surgical instru ments. The next counter is occupied with a fine prescription ca9e, writing desk and prescription hla, witn a mar ble slab 15 feet long on which many prescriptions are accurately prepared day and night. Along tne walls on this side are many shelves accurately arranged and filled with, every diner ent kind of medicine known to the medical profession, also kept in the best possible shape, nice, fresh and pure. On the left, on entering this parlor store, you see 5 great massive case9 built of the finest walnut timber and upon the latest and most improved plans for economy and good taste, all of which are loaded down at this sea son of the year with a great stock of books of all kinds ana styles as regara the reading matter and binding as well. In no book store will you find a better variety than this house car ries during the winter season. The show cases on this side of the house are always filled full of the choicest of books ana notions ior me uotiuays, for birthdays, for anniversaries and wedding gifts. The news depot on this side is also an important factor not to be overlooked, and which fur nishes a large amount of literature to our citizens every year and no doubt has its place and has much to do in molding characters good and bad in coming generations. If parents could realize the fact of how much the liter ature of the day has to 4 m moulding characters for their children, they would pay more attention to the selec tion of that which is best adapted to making useful men and women. The wall and window paper stock, which is kept in the 2d story, comprises everything that is the latest. I he fin est decorated rooms in this county have been furnished with paper from this house.

The paint and oil department, the rep utation of which any house might be proud of, contains just such material as is best calculated to give a nice fin ish and have the greatest durability. Dyestuffs is another specialty to which Saur has given much of his personal attention in order to select fast and brilliant colors for the smallest amount of moaey. No person can be better entertained for half a day or a day than by taking a look through this large house from cellar to gariett, see the care which is exercised in keeping everything in its proper place and or der so that all will move a'ojg as though it were but one grand michine. liiePil Which Township Get It?

By order of Committee. C. E. Topper, Chairman. There are half a million of Republi- cans throughout the country who will not vote for Blaine. In the face of this fact a prominent Republican leader in New York was asked how they ex pected to elect their tattooed candidate, and he replied: "Oh, we'll get the votes; we'll get them in the same manner that we carried Maine and Indiana, four years ago; we'll buy them. We can't afford, no matter what they cost, to al low the Democrats to get into power, and we will not, if money will prevent it." Honest Democrats and Republi cans, what do yon think of that? We will see, however, whether the will of the people is to be thwarted by such dishonest and corrupt means. If so, the life of this . Republic is of short du- ration, after the people thoroughly un derstand that they cannot have an honest election. Grover Cleveland, now Mayor of Buffalo, and the Democratic candidate for Governor of New York, is a man worthy of the highest public confidence. No one can study the record of his ca reer since he has held office In Buffalo without being convinced that he pos sesses those highest qualities of a pub lic man, sound principles of adminis trative duty. Luminous intelligence and courage to do what is right, no matter who may be pleased or dis pleased thereby. New York Sun, 1882.. Mr. Wm. H. Covle. Chief of Fire Department, Houston, Texas, writes that while In discharge of his duties he was very severely injured bv a falling. wall. He could scarcely move about when he was induced to try St. Jacobs Oil, the magical pain-reliever, and to his surprise he was cured of his lameness. BUSINESS MEN! ON FARM, IN STORE, SHOPS! OR WORK. What Is Crowding Yon to the Wall! A Srnplua of $418,000,000! One Third the Whole Volume of the Currency Withdrawn From Circulat ion! Contraction Brings Rain! Every Bnthresa Interest Demands a Change ! ! The Republican party is the strong ally of the Money Power. Jay Gould in giving $100,000 to the Blaine cam paign fi'nd is merely making an invest ment, knowing that if that party is suc cessful, he will be repaid by legislation in the interest of monopolies' in which he holds a controlling interest. In their every movement to rob the people and enrich live favored few they adopt specious pretexts to deceive the people, and make them belie e that the very measure designed to crueTy wrong them, is beautiful, and for their good. Like Satan, they would appear to their deluded followers as an "angel of light." See how they robbed the wool grow ers. With what subterfuge they for a long time tired to make thent believe that woolen manufacturers were re duced with wool that there had been no change of schedule, that it was a fair transaction. When indisputable facts were placed lucfore the people, how mysteriously they claimed that to have voted against the swindle wonld have done some mysterious damage in some other d'rection; and how generously they were going to restore it hot they never introduced a bill to do so in the Senate where the outrage originated! All recollect the sweating process which paralyzed the business of the country from 1873 to 1878 during the contraction of tbe currency, when daily aud almost hourly, values sfcnink to conform to the reduced volume of currency. And to add to the misery of the people the Silver Dollar was strick en from the marts of business by de monitizatioa. . Those who went through that proeees will never forget it. To those who had mortgaged their farms to secure indebt edness it wasa nightmare! Each day it took more labor to pay a dollar of debt. The mortgage giew larger as the dollar beeame more valuable simply because; there were fewer in eireulation. The Sheriff was kept busy, and the sales on j foreclosure of the mortgage filled the colums of the newspapers. Trade was dull, and many were ruined b.y having high priced goodsandhigh priced farms shrivel in value. The fires went out of the furnaces, spindles were stopped, the forges were smokeless, industry was paralized. As propertyjwas sacrificed the momed interests or tne country bought it cheap. They held it until times im proved, sold it and realized an immense profit. The Same Scheme To Be Tried In Another Way! Money grew plenty, interest became low! The money power were not making money fast enough ! Industry was thriving, trade was booming. Tne agricultralist and laborer laughed with prosperity. The West was being settled up rapidly. Liana was bought by the hardy pioneer on easy terms, the rate of interest was low on back payments. and the fertile hills and valleys were a psalm of prosperity and happiness. Then the money power put their beads together. They agreed that they would delude the people about the tariff benefitting labor, and by piling up the taxes beyond the needs of the govern' ment, get the money of the country at Washington, and in this way contract the currency to a greater extent than before ! They are succeeding beyond their expectations. Four hundred and eighteen millions are now in the Treas ury vaults where it cannot be used in the channels of business. , For business purposes it might as well be at the bot tom ot the sea I it is withdrawn from circulation ! Business feels the press ure ! Trade is dull. Any business man will tell you this. Wheat is but 75 cents a bushel, Wool is but 30 cents a pound. Seep has sold as low as $6 a dozen, although twenty miles North of us tnere is good gross and farmers are mowing lc a second time. This vear one nunarea minions more win be col lected of surplu3 revenue, which will put prices down another peg! Land will bring panic prices next year. Al ready of the 700 furnaces and rolling muis in me country ouu are idle. .Busi ness is being done on credit and not cash. When the breath of suspicion comes it will make a universal crash! Look at the banks failinir. the enforced idleness of laboring men. The countrv stands on the very brink of another panic which will sejd misery and pov erty to millions of hearthstones. The Remedy. There is but one remedy, and the peo ple have it now in their hands to de clare in thunder tones that the day of . 1.1 : .1. ai. . . , t . , guiuuiuiK witu uieir iimteriui interests is past. That remedy is to vote for a Change ! ! ! And let the government resume legiti mate functions by returning to the Jef fersenian plan of the Demoeraev. f'lH- zens of Ohio can sound the keynote and send greeting to all the toile-s of the nation by electing the Democratic tick et on 14th of October, and send the rainbow or promise to a million homes a harbinger of the better t'mes, when not Statemen and sharks shall legislate for the people. The Republicans feel the tome of tnese mattte.-s. and that most denraveri demagogue of the lot, Jim Blaine, pro poses to keen the big taxation everv year and distribute it by a plan which woma toko eignceen millions a year from Ohio, return our State five, and give the balance to New England, thus making the people of Ohio the serfs of the Eastern manufacturing dis tricts beyond what they are now. Out on such arrant ' knavery! Lay the axe to the root ! A chancre of men and measures, a change of administra tion is what is demanded by an out raged people! Vote to save your homes ! Vote for the prosperity of wife and children ! For your own and kin dred, aud not for vampires who are sucking your very life's blood. HOCKINQ VALLEY. Another Blaine Falsehood Exposed Mr. Blaine Subscribes and Pays $25, OOO and Then Denies it. The Letters, Telegrams, Receipt, and Certificates. To the editor of the Evening Poat. Sir: My attention has recently been called to a statement said to have been made by the Hon. James G. Blaine. which substantially gave the public to understand tnathe never at an v time had any interest in the Hocki.ig Valley coai ana iron region or un'o. ine rouowing was obtained by me. from the Springfield Republican of September, 20, 1884: "MR. BLINE AND COAL MINjSS." "The Republican is indebted to the Utiea Herald for reprinting and calling to our attention the following letter irom uie itepuotican candidate for President in regard to his coal interests, and which we reproduce with pleasure. ib win oe ooservea mat Mr. iilaine'i denial, covers the owaership of coal mining stocks in Ohio as well as of mines. '"Bar Harbor, Me., July 22, 1884. " 'Hon. II. 8. Lundip "In answer to vour recent favor beg to say that I am not and never have been the owner of any coal lands or iron lands, or lands of any character what ever in the Hocking Valley, or in any part of Ohio.

I shall be happy to transfer lae ooihis to any gentleman who is am bitious to pay the debt. I am interested ineoal lands in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, but there lias never been the slightest trouble with laboring men in any enterprise with which I have been connected. This I believe covers all the points or your inquiry. Very sincere' iy. " James (i. hlaine.' " You will observe from a thorough ex amination of this letter that if it was in tended to mean anything at all, it was especially forcible in its effort to con vey to the public the impression that ne wruer was never in any sense, form, or manner, directly orindirectlv.at anv time interested in the Hocking Valley coal and iron region of the State of Ohio. I would state in this connection that in tne autumn of 1880 articles of associa tion were formed under the title of the "Proprietors of the Hope Furnace Tract," and dated November 20, 1880, to which the subscribers became parties uiereio, anu ivir. j. j, .L'eninou was financial agent of the Association, and I was the trustee in respect to the title of the lands purchased. The object of sain .association was to purchase of Mr. Wm. D. Lee, of Newark, an undivided two-thirds interest in a tract of land consisting of 10,810 acres, rich in tint uer, uuiu, ana iron ore. Tins land wns situated in Vinton and Athens Conn ties, Ohio, and the purchase was made as oi uie nrst or jNovember, 1880. These articles of association also pro vided that this pronertv should hn resented by thirty-three blocks, each of ine vaiue or szo.uuu, eleven of which oiocKs represented Mr. Lee's undi vided third. During the latter part of nuveniuer, jvir. ie mrormed me that ne was acquainted with Mr. Blaine, ana mat ne would like to hove him in terested, and through Mr. Lee's Solid tation the Hon. Blaine signed sa'd nrt.i- cles of association, subscribing for one diock in me Association. un the 7th of December, 1880, Mr. J. N. Denison, of this city, wrote Mr, maine as follows: "Boston, Dec. 7, 1880. "Hon. J. O. Blaine.

In closing this statement, t would beg to nay mat wnen tne subscription was made, Mr. Blaine became a party thereto. The enclosure of the money for payment, the voucher issued la lieu there, all substantiate the position that the investment was made with a com plete knowledge of its conditions, and Mr. Blaine has never to this day mode any statement either to Mr. Denison or myself that would permit any other in terprecauon or me case.

Before me, James R. Carret, Justice of the Peace. Caught in Another. When the labor troubles of the rnirr ers in the Hocking Valley had assumed a very serious aspect and rumors wer current that Mr. James G. Blaine was interested in the ownership of tho mines, and therefore in a degree respon sible for the troubles, Mr. H. 8. Bundy, an Ohio Republican, wrote Mr. Blaine, asking about his interest in the mines. Mr. Blane answered in a letter dated Bn- Harbor, July 22, 1884, in which he declared: I am not, and never have been, the owner of any onal landa or iron luncltt, or lannaofany character whnturer, In the EoekluK Valley or In any part of Ohio. Nor havo I at any time owned ahara of Hook In any coai, iron or land oompany in the State of Ohio. This, it will be seen, is a denial by Blaine as emphatic and sweeping all language can make it. He denies that he ever at any time owned any land of an." kind or any stock in any coal, iron, or land company anywhere in the State of Ohio. Now comes Mr. J. Henry Brpoks, who in a communication to the tot of last evening lays before the public authen tic documents which disclose the truth in the matter and show conclusively that the statements made by Mr. Blaine in his recent letter are wholly false. These documents will be found else whe in this morning's Herald. They Include a letter written by Mr. Blaine in 1880 enclosing his draft for twenty five thousand dollars in payment of his subscription to one-third of the stock of the Hope Furnace Tract Association, a company formed for the purchase ef cort and I on lands in the Hocking Valley; also a letter written by Mr. J. N. Denison, the financial agent of tha association, acknowledging the receipt of Mr. Blaine's draft. The Hope Fur nace concern was afterward consolidat ed with the Standard Coal and Iron Company of Ohio on the basis of fifty thousand dollars of consolidated stock for twenty-five thousand dollars of Hope Furnace. Accordingly fifty thou sand dollars of the new stock was in May, 1882. handed over to Stephen B Elkins, who appears to have been then as he is now, Blaine's man, and Elkins receipted for the bonds "on account of James G. Blaine." Mr. Brooks, who gives these letters to the public, was tha trustee with Hie respect to the title of the lands. Mr. Blaine does not lack the unscrup ulous audacity to pretend that "there is not a word in these letters which is not entirely consistent with the most scrupulous integrity and honor." His o e'ans will not hesitate to derounce Mr. Brooks as a "liar," a "sharper," a "wretch," &c. .But the damning fact remains that Mr. Blaine is ain con victed by his own correspondence of a most shameful falsehood.

NW the close of the late war six substitutes for men living in Maine were secured; Among them was a colored man nnrned Jake Poe. Jake Poe was to receivo )0 for his services, but he did not. know foi whom he served. Lieut. S. Williams, of Comnanv C. of the Fort ieth Regiment U. S. colored troops, knew, however, that he had been mus tered in for James G. Blaine and it was through Lieut. Williams that the hist ory of the affair to-day became public. vviuiams says roe never received. more than $35 or $40 of the bounty money. Whether the money was for warded and appropriated bv the agents or never sent, he could not say. The fortieth Kegiment was ordered to Leb anon, lenn. As the woods were full of guer-illas they were ordered to lie down. In doing so a gun was discharg ed, shooting Poe in the shoulder, hope lessly damaging his arm. Lieut. Williams who lives at Nash ville, not far distant from Poe hast twine endeavored to procure him a pension but without success. Poe is now 47 years of age. His little cabin shows ex treme poverty, but he is now enjoying the notoriety of having served in the army as a substitute for a candidate for the Presidency of the United States.
