9th WARD INDOMITABLE.

We commend to our readers the following
letter from CO.. Benton. which was written in
1924, and published in Missouri. The Colo
mel at that time was no demagogue, and would
have been as much shocked at being asso-
ciated with " butt-enders, huge paws, and hard
fists" as he would have been at the bare
thought Of becoming the eulogist Of Gen.
Jackson. Times have changed, and Benton
has become the most strenuous advocate Of
the man he despised, and the delamer Of the
one he formerly lauded. Thus we go.
The principles which would govern Mr. GAYS
administration If elected, we'll known to the
tiol. They have been displayed upon the floor Of
Congress for the last seventeen years. They const

NEW YORK ELECTIONS.

The elections in the city and state of New
York so far, give US an earnest of success
a full and entire triumph Of the great princi-
pies for which we are contending. We most
sincerely trust that the iast day in the city will
be as well maintained by the opposition as the
two days that preceded and the victory will
indeed be cor1plete. We have some doubts
and some misgivings however, knowing the
materiel against which we have to contend,
and the efforts that are daily made TO alright
those who have most at stake from the polls.
We hope the vantage ground will be stoutly
maintained, and all attempts to deprive legal
voters Of their privileges properly resisted by
the constituted authorities. Some Of these
creatures that the unexampled liberality Of our
institutions admit to the right Of suffrage, are
endeavoring to create disturbance and dis
order, In the New Era, paper established
professedly for the purpose of pnrging the
democracy Of its manifold sins and transgres-
sons, we find the following article, the object
of which no man acquainted with the sort of
persons to be acted on by such appeals, can
mistake.

for the Honorable Messrs. Niles and Smith, to review
their for not paving any attention 10 The resou
tions OF the General Assembly in May last, respecting
the course of their conduct the Senate Of the United
States Those enlightened statesmen seemed To be of
the opinion that the Legislature did not speak the SEN
tments OF the people. At that time, the leaders Of the
party were protested to be- very sanguine that the
election in April, 1899, would set every thing right
democracy would again get the upper hand in the State
and of course, Loco. iocosm would more DO tr-
umphsnt The success Of the Wings in 1888. was as
crlbed TO panic to banks and nobody knows what else
but they predicted with the utmost confidence that
1889 would see them oil in power again.
People who over confident are very apt to make
mistakes, and sanguine persons frequently reckon with
out their host. Probably, by this time, they begin TO
think they have miscacuatcd liitle and are now in
predcament which, OF all others, they would have
been glad to avoid. And it for the purpose of point

not the with them, that we have omnendCd to

Tom Carr was appointed charge To the empire OF
Morocco. II was supposed, however, that the Pre-
sident might have been ignorant OF the true charac-

posed in regard TO Ely Moore--Mr. Van Buren,

the removal OF pure and honorable man like Hec-

upon the moral feelings Of this community By the

did follow him. Truly The Republic Is in hope

divide its honors.
The above is from the Commercial Advertiser.
The rumor is doubtless true and the toul disgrace
is fastened on us by a son of New York. This man
has been rejected BY The people, yet the President OF
the United States, in defiance of the public will as
a punishment for daring to disobey his mandate,
places him in one of the most responsible Offices in

fully sustaining the correctness of the la

We, the undersigned practitioners ofmed-
icine in Germany are well aware that, by our
course, we may forfeit the friendship of
some of the faculty, but not Of its benevolent
members, who are uninhuenced by selfish
motives. Though we shall refrain from an
expression of our opinion, either of the
soundness or unsoundness of DR.. Goelicke,s
ne,c doctrine, we are happy to say that we
deem his Sanative too valuable not to be gen
orally known-for what our eyes behold and
our ears hear, we must believe.
We hereby state, that when DR.. Louis Of
fon Goelicke first came before the German
public, as the pretended discoverer of a new
doctrine and new medicine, we held him in
tue highest contempt, believing and openly
pronouncing him to be base mpostor and
prince of quacks. But, on hearing so much
said about the Sanatlve, against it and for
it, we were induced, from motives of curl
osity merely to make trial of its reputcd
virtues upon number of our most hopeless
patients: and we now deem it our bounden
duty (even at the expense of our self inter-
est) publicly to acknowledge it efficacy in
curing not only the consumption, but other
feorful maladies, whichwe have heretofore
believed to be incurable. Our contemptfor
the diseoverer of this medicine was at once
swallowed up in our utter astonishment at
these unexpected results; and, as amends
for our abuse of him, we do frankly confess
tothe world, that we believe hma philan-

A BEAUTIFUL head of hair is the grand
IN estornament belonging to the human
frame. How strangely the loss of it chan
ges the countenance, and prematurely brings
on the appearance of old age, which causes
many to Iecoil at being uncovered, and
sometimes even shun society to avoid the
iests and sneers of their acquaintance
he remainder of their lives is consequent
ly spent in retirement. In short, not even
the loss of property fills the generous
thinking youth with that heavy sinking
gloom as does the loss of his HAIR. To
avert all these unpleasant circumstances,
OLDRIGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA stops
the hair from falling off on the first applica-
tion, and few bottles restores it again.
1t likewise produces eyebrows and whisk-
ers prevents the hair from turning grav,
makes it curl beautifully, and frees it from
scurf. Numerous certificates of the first
responsibility IN support of the virtues of
Oldrige's Balm are shown by the proprietor
