relations to each other will be of friendly and
pleasant character, such as should exist batween

MORAL OF THE NEW YORK ELECTION. The
result of the election in the State Of New York
would seem to imply that the Democrats will
not tolerate dishonesty and corruption In their
own party, even when they may profit by it,
To this they manifest more honesty than can
be claimed by the Republicans, who stick by
their party and party leaders, no matter what
rascalities may be committed by them.-Rich-

means of relief They inquire what medicine
has done for others, before they adopt it them
selves Of all the remedies and preventives in
use, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters meets the test
most trumphantly. and hence its immense pop

geston is sure to find some one among his friends
who has been cured of that ailment by the IA
nous vegetable stomachic. The victim of fever
and ague, liver complaint, constipation, nervous
prostration, or general debility, has only to
make inquiry in the neighborhood where he re-
sides in order to discover what this standard res
torstive has effected in similar to his own.
In the public testimony to its merits he will find
volume of proofs of its sanitary properties,
which it is impossible for his common sense to

facts, not assertions, continually grows and
spreads. Charlatans and imposters, some of
them mere local tricksters, and Others who take
a somewhat wider range attempt to thrust into
the hands and down the Threats of invaids, their
haphazard connections, as substitutes for the ton
