By this we understand collection o
sand like substance having been lodged il
he passage of the urine. When the sys.
TEN is in healthy state, this substance is
carried off by the natural passage of the
body; but when there is a weakness OF any
organ, especially the kidneys, they become
incapable of eXpell:ng such sandy concre-
tions, and consequently they are lodged in
the kidneys, urejha, or the bladder, causing
great Inflammation 10 those organs and
great pains and swelling and great difficulty
in vojding urine. 1t has been admitted by
many physicians, that Morse's Indian Boo.
Pills aremade out Of some particular plants
which have a wonderful char ming influence
in dissulving the subs tance which has
clogged the passage, and by their cooling
properties, they eNpel al Inflammation, and
leave the water passage in an active and
healthy state From three 10 four OF these
Pills night and morning, from one to two
weeks, will decide how this creadfuI disease

The Republican State Convention: on

ever held in Ohio. The delegations were
full, and there was besides, large attend
ance of Republicans from all parts of the
State. The Resolutions were adopted with
great enthusiasm. They are brief, pointed
and omprehensive,-decla war upon
every phase OF political iniquity as deve lop-
ed and practiced by the present Democratic
Administration. They not only declare a
fixed adherence TO those Republican princi-
pies which have heretofore triumphed in

the strongest ever offered for the suffrage

Terrible Collision at Sea.
Daring Rescue of an Abandoned Ship.
from the New York Post, 22dl

From the New York Post, 22d.
Among the arrivals reported in our ship
news to-day is that of the wrecked brig
Isabel Beurmann, under circumstances de-
serving OF more than passing not ice. Tue
Isabel Beurmarn sailed from this port on
Tuesday Of last week, with valuable gen.
e raj cargo, bound 10 Port au Prince. On
the following day the Panama Railroad Co.'S
brig Caroline, Captain WhIleberry, also
sailed from this port, bound for Aspinwall.
On Saturday morning last, at half-past
seven o'clock, $50 miles SOUTHEAST by
South from Barnegat. the Caroline dis
covered an abandoned wreck, which, upon
being boarded, proved to be the Isabel Beur-
mann. which mad evidently been in violent
collision with a large ship, and was fapidly
sinking. Her port bow was completed ly
smashed down some distance below the
water line, ner bowsprit towing over the
bows, all sails c!ewed up, but the main sail
towing overheard, and she had already six
feet OF water in her hold. A terrible scar
high up on her foremast indicated that sh e
must have been in collision with large
ship, and the fact that the briggs boats wer c
still on board, while every portable thing OF
value had been removed, showed that the
crew had been taken off at leisure, probably
by the ship which had caused the damage,
aud which, from the force Of the blow, must
have suffered severely he-se If.
Capt. Whiteberry Immediately set all
hands at work on the wreck, except him
self and his rook, and BY drawing canvass
over the bow, and diligent pumping, she
was freed from water at seven O'Clock in the
afternoon. The mate, Mr.. John Porter, an
energetic young man, then volunteered,
with two seamen, to attempt the perilous
task of bringing the wreck il to port. For
tunatelv they have had only light variable
winds most of the time, and by hard work.
ing at the pumps and careful navigation
they succeeded in their undertaking. The
wreck arrived in the lower bay early this
morning, was taken in tow bya tug, and
now lies at Burling slip, sorry sight. She
has been visited this forenoon by numbers
of nautical men, all of whom express their
amazement at the daring OF her hardy res
cuers. The value of the ship and cargo, as
she lies, is roughly estimated at S5O 600,
upon which, of course, the highest rate OF
salvage will be paid.

CLEVELAND, July 10, 1888.
DER SIR:-For some weeks past my
name has been US ed in the public prints in
connection with the office OF Supreme Judge
for whish the Republican Convention will
make nomination on the 9th inst.
While frankly svow that should. cs-
tecm myself honored by cordial and har-
monious nomination to SO exa lted station,
by So intelligent and patriotic body, L can
not consent to be instrumental. 10 engen-
dering discord and divisions in our ranks by
persisiing in a competition with others OF
our cutanca friends who are geogrlphdcalLy,
and perhaps ludieially, better qua lifed for
the office.
The present political emergency involves
considerations above personal aggrandize
ment and emolument; therefore deem 1t
ny highest duty, as 1t is my unfeIgned
pleasure, TO relieve the Convention from
the consideration Of my humble prctensons
by Withdrawing my name from the list Of
candidates.
With ardeat aspirations for the success
OF The Republican cause,

The Republican National Conven-
ton.

From the Quincy Ills.l Wing and Republican
The first and the last National Conven-
tion OF the Republican party, which met al
Philadelphia in 1856, adjourned Without ap.
pointing place for holding the next Con,
venliOn. A resolution IN favor of Cleveland
was introduced. but referred to the Nation
al Commttee-it being urged tnat in four
years the spread OF Republics niSm woulO
enable the Convention to 90 to Richmond
Va. or to Lexington, Ky.
To some extent this prediction has bee Il
realized, but not in the directions designa .
ted. WhI e al St. Louis, the other day, we
had conversation with one of the leading
members OF the free labor party, of that
.ci'v-ln the course Of which he suggested
thai the hGat National COnUentjon Of The Re
publican party be held in 81. Louis.
We like the suggestion, and the reason
for it. st. Louis ls centrally located, anC
accessible from il portions of The country
1t is the great metropolis OF the Mississippi
val!ey-owing its prosperity and Importance
TO t4e labor, though located in a slav t
Stats. The Republican party Of the cou' :
Try owe debt OF gratitude TO the citizens
OF St LOUIS. The sreemen of that city
are bold, fearless class Of men, nt: 10 be
ihtimidated by the threats OF those who
would oppose every attempt towards the
advancement of the interests of the free
white people of the country Tney have
fought d successful battle, and are nov rep
resented in Congress by good and true
man. They nave also the city goverumen Mt
in their control. The cr edit is due to them
selves alone; as no outside influence has
ever been attempted in their favor. We
have only bid them God speed III their et
forts TO emancipate that city from the rule
OF men whose whole thoughts AMI purpose ;
were controlled by the interests Of slavery.
As complim 10 these brave freemen
--as an appreciation of their services in the
cause in which we are mutually engaged
we think it would be nothing but Just and
proper that the next Republican National
Convention be held at ST. Louis.
Whist say our Republican friends to this
prot ositon! Let the press respond.
