This wonderful vegetable restorative

the aged and Ianguid, it has no equal
among stOmaehics. As a remedy for the
nervous weakness to which women are
especially subject, 1t is superseding
every other stimulant. In all climates,
tropical, temperate or frigid, it acts as a
specific in every species Of disorder
which undermines the bodily strength,

The McClure..Gray Contest.

The death of Senator Connell of the
Fourth Philadelphia District made the
Senate tie politically, and the result
of the special election to fill the vacan-
cy was looked for ward to with much
interest. AS the Republicans had about
1000 majority in the District it was ev-
ident that the choice was between a
Reform Republican and Ring Radical.
The Democratic press and Democratic
voters therefore, took sides with Col
Mcclure. The nomination of his op-
ponent was accomplished by fraud,
force and bribery; his alleged election
was secured by the same means. A
contest for the seat was inaugurated in
the usual form, but at the threshold
the contestant was met by the declara.
tion of Republican Committee, that
although frauds might have been COM
mitted, ballot boxes stuffed, and voters
driven from the polls, the act of 1889
regulating contested elections applied
only to members elected previous to the
organization of the Legislature, and
therefore the contestant, whatever the
merits of his case, had no right of ap-
peal. From this position the Demo-
Gratis dissented as being contrary to
common sense, TO the spirit and inten.
tion of the act of 1889, to precedent, to
the Constitutional right of petition, and
to the inherent right of each House to
judge of the election and returns of its
members.
And now the Republicans discover
that the method of drawing commit
lee is defective, and ,Chy? Because the
chances, in drdl0iag a committee to de
eide Which of t,oo Republicans shall oc.
cupy seat IN the Senate, are in. favor of
the Democrats. For over thirty years
the law has been on the statute book
and no fault has been found with it by
the opposition. 1t answered their pur-
pose in the Bunn-Witham case, in
that of Green vs. Short during the pres
ent session. and in numerous other
cases.
The Democrats deserve credit for re-
fusing to pass general law to meet a
special case and if the opposition refuse
to allow Col. Mcclure the right to prove
that he was duly elected as Senator
from the Fourth District, on their heads
be the responsibility.
