Five thousand people were present. Colonel
Dodd was chosen temporary chairman and
made speech. He said they met to inau-
gurate new era in the political history of
the State and country. He believed the
platform adopted by the Cincinnati conven-
ton with the expositions in the letter of ac-
ceptance of Horace Greeley, gives a common
ground upon which the liberal men of all
parties can stand. After Col. Dodd's speech
secretaries were chosen, the different COM

Gov. William Smith was chosen temporary
chairman, who briefly addressed the conven-

remarks showed that while he considered il
the duty of the democratic party to preserve
its organization intact, he saw no other way
of defeating the present administration than
by seeking union with those who were OBJ
posed to the party on past issues and were in
harmony with it on the question of the day.
A committee on permanent organization was
appointed,
Hon. 7. S. Flourney was called upon and
said that he hoped in short time there would
be no such thing as a choice of evils, but that
all will unite under the liberal banner borne
by Horace Greeley. That old white hat COW

Ny Dear Sir: The national convention
of labor reformers on the 22d of February
last honored me with a nomination as their
candidate for the presidency. Having re-
garded that movement as the initiation of
policy and purpose to unite various political
elements in compact opposition, consented
to use my name before the Cincinnati Com
vention. where a distinguished citizen of New
York was nominated. Under these circum-
stances l deem it proper to retire absolute
ly from the presidential contest, and this
leaves my friends who were generous enough
to offer me their voluntary support free to
obey their convictions Of duty unfettered by
any supposed obligation. Sympathizing
earnestly with all just and proper me- assures
by which the condition of labor may he ele-
waited and inspired. am, with great respect,
Your fellow citizen,

THr History OF A NATIONAL REMEpf.-
Here is the history Of the most celebrated
tonic of the age in nutshell In 1860 it was
announced that certain combination Of veg
etabie ingredients, with pure ditfusive slim
ulent was working wonders in the cure Of
chronic dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver
complaint, periodical fevers. rheumatism and
constitutional weakness. The unpretending
name given to the specific WAS PLANTATION
BITTERs. The statement attracted the at
tention of invalids everywhere. The new
remedy received fair trial. and the results
more than confirm all that has been said in
its praise. Thenceforward it was a grand
success. The business columns OF the press
spread the glorious news far and wide, and
the martyrs to Indigestion, billiousness, phys-
cal prostration and premature decay, as if by
common consent, sought relief from the new
vegetable restorative. They found what they
sought. From that time to the present the
increase in the demand for Plantation Bitters
has been one of the most striking events in
this age. june25+eod&wlw
