HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC

is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with PURE Santa Cruz Rum, Grange, etc. 1t
is used for the diseases tGe Bitters, in case
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
You will bear in mind that these remedies are en-
tirely different from any others advertised for the
cure of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations of medicinal extracts, while the 9TH
ers are mere decoctiOns of rum in some form. The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the public. Its
taste is exquisite. tits pleasure to take it. while
its life giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quail
ties have caused it to be known as the greatest OF
all tonics.

FRANK p. BLAIR, JR.,


The Democratic nominee for Vice
President, the son of Francis p. Blair,
ST., the veteran statesman and jour
nalist, was born in Lexington, Ken
lucky, on the 10th of February, 1921.
After completing his education at
Princeton college, he applied himself to
the study Of law in his native town,
and, after being admitted to the bar,
removed to st. Louis, and commenced
practice in 1913. During the war with
Mexico, he served as Lieutenant Of
Volunteers. After the peace, he re-
turned to st. Louis and resumed the
practice Of his profession. Entering
into politics with the zeal characters
tic of his nature and patriotic tempera-
ment he became identified with the
so-calIdd free soil" party, by supper
ting Mr.. Van Buren, for the Presidency
on the Buffalo platform. He was eIec-
ted to the legislature of Missouri in
1852 as delegate from st. Louis, and
was reelected in 1854. Upon the eX-
piratiOn Of bis second term, in 1886, he
was chosen to represent the st. Louis
district in Congress, and was successive
Iy reelected in the years 1853, 1860
and 1862. From the spring Of 1861 un-
til he left his seat in Congress, he was
chairman Of the committee on military
affairs in the House.
Upon the breaking out of the rebell-
ion, Mr.. Blair raised the 1st regiment
of Missouri volunteers and, on the 7th
of August, having, in the meantime,
attended the special session of Congress,
he was appointed Brigadier General
of Volunteers. The brigade of which
he first assumed command was raised
by his own efforts among the citizens
of Missouri. He was promoted to the
rank of a Major in November
of the following year.

personal request of President Lincoln,

his place in Congress. AT the opening

cogent were his arguments that they
achieved success.
The act of the legislature of New
York to allow the soldiers absent to
vote was signed by Governor Sey-
mour, and, in circular soon issued, he
recommended an honorable carrying
out of the legislative act.
In November Of 1864, the Presiden-
tial election was approaching, and, as
will be recollected, there existed a
bitterness of partisanship such as was
never before known. In view Of this,
Governor Seymour applied himself to
the labor Of pouring oil upon the troub-
led waters. In proclamation which
he then issued, there occurred the fol-
lowing passages:
"The eXistance of terrible civil
war, and the assertion of the right of
military commanders in some sections
to interfere with elections, have caused
fearful and exciting doubts in the
minds of many with regard to the free
and untrammeled exercise of the cleo
tive franchise. / therefore appeal to
all men Of all political parties to unite
with those holding official positions,
in their efforts to allay undue excite
ment, soften the harshnesS of party
prejudice, and to avoid all measures
which tend to strife or disorder"
He concludes these temperate re-
marks by commanding sherifls and all
other peace officers to ''see that no mil
itary or other organized forces Shall be
allowed to show themselves in the
vicinity of the places were elections
are held, with any view of intimida-
tion or menacing citizens in atten-
dance thereon"
These passages from the official
career of Governor Seymour prove his
temperate, logical, conservative char
acter. Holding correct views of the
obligations of one who is citizen of a
Stateand Of the United States, he was
ever prompt to protect the former
against the aggressions of the federal
power and equally prominent in ex-
acting full obedience on the part of the
State when it owed duty to the general
government.
In 1864, Mr.. Seymour was renomi-
mated for Governor, but was defeated
by small majority. His retirement
from the gubanatorial chair of New
York was the close of his official career,
Since that time, he has occupied him.
self with his private affairs, only occa-
sionally appearing in public in order
to give utterance to sentiments having
bearing upon the politics or finances of
the nation.
In the Democratic convention of 1864,
Mr.. Seymour WAS made permanent
chairman of the convention. Ir his
speech upon taking the chair, he ar
raigned the dominant party for its
usurapations, gave utterance to senti-
mentS whose beauty Of diction, patri-
otism, and inspiration have rarely
been equaled in modern oratory.
The nominee of the Democracy is
eminently scholar, statesman, and
a gentleman. To his guidance can
safely be committed the task of regen-
Grating the nation.
