while awarding to others their full meas
ure of glory, avoided Dragging, and was
satisfied with having done his duty. He
saw what was needed to be done, did It,
and then everybody saw II was right.
These qualities have been displayed in
civil administration in the same way. He
recommends measures, butmakes no long
arguments for them-makes no apologies
for this or that, but does, and rests the
thing on the doing, with firm faith that
his measures will make their own repu.
tatiUn and command the appreciation of
the people, and they do. Why, they do
30 so completely that even the Demo
cratic party is stealing his thunder, and
are willing to support as its candidate
for President the man who has written
a thousand lines in support of Grants
leading measures where he has written
one against them. 1t is the eminent sue
cess of his Administration that has Sc
cured his denomination. People talk
about his being forced upon the country
by the offlce-holders, when the real fact
is that the off1ce.holders were about the
only obstacle that tended TO make the re.
nomination doubtful. II has been fore
gone conclusion for more than two
hundred to one to the office e-holders, gave
it up, and had to go to Cincinnati and
coddle up a ticket with all the odds and
ends of parties.
The people accept Grants measures as
finality, and the Democrats are claiming
it as merit that they have caved in to
them. We are cutting down taxation,
reducing the debt no one is oppressed /;
things are steady reforms are pressed
with vigor, and no dangerous or visionary
schemes are proposed or tolerated. The
common sense of the country must see
this, and does see it, and no white coat
cry can change the opinions of people or
allure them from plain duty. This is
proved by the results of the New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut and Oregon elections
which came off Immediately after the great
assault in the Senate upon the character
and measures of General Grant, and it is
proved every day by the assurances of
| eminent men in all sections who have act.
ed with the Democratic party, but now
regard it as dead.
| These men are very numerous, and
their number and character as representa-
tive men render it certain that Greeley
cannot receive the undivided support OF
the Democracy, and that the party can
not rush in with its old spirit and dash tC
snatch victory, as was its wont in
former days The death of the old issues
insures the death of the organization
Its fight is no longer for principle, bu
plunder, and though there may be show
of vigor and some noise it will be defeat
ed overwhelmingly.
The policy of the Republican party ha
won its way. All the predictions of evi
about it have failed. Cincinnati, whicl

Henry WiIsOn-His Views OF the PO-
litical situation.

/ FOUND the Senator at home, hard at
work, and in a frame of mind so genial
and communicative that found no diff
Guilty in extracting the information de-
sired. He was occupied in answering the
numerous letters that every mail deposits
upon his groaning table. Some of these
are merely congratulatory, few are friv-
olous, but the greater portion are from
poor people who are in some sort of dis
tress on account of the conduct of sons or
brothers in the army, or whose claims of
one kind and another have been delayed
or defeated on account of informalities or
other reasons that seem inexplicable. All
such people turn to Wilson instinctively
as a reliable friend, who is sure to attend
to their wants, and it is safe to say thatin
more than ore hundred thousand of such
cases no one of the distressed ever re-
ceived an intimation that trne relief could
be secured by the liberal purchase of ter
ritory on the western frontier, where
riches are spontaneous growth and re-
quire nothing but the harvesting.
Upon asking his views of the political
situation he commenced talking in an ami
mated, free, and easy way, that impressed
me with his full confidence of the success
of the ticket The grounds of this con-
fidence he stated with clearness and pre-
cision, and are as follows The adaman-
tine solidity and firmness of the character
of General Grant. This is something
wonderful in itself, and wonderful in its
effects. In 1868 Grant did not seek our
nomination, but the nomination sought
him. Other men wanted that nomination,
and their friends labored to that end, but
the people were tired of uncertainty and
experimental government, and wanted
stability and something reliable. They
knew where to look for II, and found it.
There was no accident about his nomi-
nation. 1t was matter of deliberate
choice by the people themselves. So
eminent was the confidence of the people
in Grant that, had he not been taken by
the Republicans, the probabilities are that
the Democrats would have endeavored to
force their nomination upon him. The
particular qualities of General Grant
which inspired this confidence were man
ifest during the war. He was not self.
seeker. He was in no cliques or schemes
for selfpromotion, but won all his pro.
motions by deeds OF his own, He laid his

WOman's Work.

THE daily routine of inevitable work
which falls upon the wife who would
keep home comfortable and pleasant, is
so tedious and wearying to most women,
that it is cruelty and folly to demand
any more from them. "Man's work is
from sun to sun, but woman's work is
never done " is one of those true old say
ings which demonstrates itself to every
observer. Where human beings live, dirt
accumulates with amazing rapidity; dirt
that enemy of comfort, breeder of un-
mentionable insects, generator of pesti-
lence and death-needs to be constantly
expurged with broom and duster, with
soap and sand and hot water, with scrub
bings and scourings and washings, until
the woman is disgusted with the petty
cares and tolls, the weary steps and fire.
quent distractions of housekeeping, and
need not be blamed if she longs for more
agreeable, less monotonous, and better
paid employment.
But what shall she do' Is there any
trade or employment under the sun that
is not monotonousg Does not every man
who works, from the preacher to the
street-sweeper, needs do the same things
every day, day after day, until facility
and ease in doing them is acquired; and
when he has reached this point does he
not need to continue doing the same
things every day, day after day, that he
may earn living by his work? This con
slant and unvarying repetition is very
wearying to woman because of her eX'
treme nervous susceptibility; her nature
demands variety and frequent change
The records of insane asylums show that
too much monotony of work or thought
is frequent cause of insanity in woman
There is certainly no profession which
gives such variety of occupation, and Is
so capable of being made, bya woman Of
taste and cultivation, an agreeable anC
pleasant employment, as the profession o.
housekeeping. The poorest woman may
benefit society by faithfully doing hel

EXTRAORDINARY CURES. We have

incredible. We are inclined TO believe
them, as many of those who youch for
them are persons whose veracity we cafi

testimonials of this character, and there
is an air of particularly and of truth
about them which cannot be resisted.

none of the burning fluids with which
most advertised Bitters are impregnated.

purest description, weakens and untones

therefore, poison in cases of Indigestion.

the cheap FSre-1odter employed In making
ordinary Bitters and Tinctures, on the
weakened and inflamed digestive organs.
VINEGAR BITTERs, on the other hand,
soothes the stomach, while it increases

a" The public debt of the United States
is being reduced at the rate of two and a
half dollars minute, night as well as day.
How would it be if Greeley were President,
and the rebels and copperheads were in
power If they did not openly repudiate
the debt, how much of it would they pay {?
These are questions voters should ask them
selves before deciding which ticket they will
support next November. Every patriotic
man would like to see the national debt
wiped from existence, not by reputation,
however, but by the honest payment of
every dollar of it. Such men should there
fore sustain the party that has gwen such
abundant proof of its reliability on this
point.

of Greeley's attendants says $50 where he
will he is sure to be attended by men notori-
Gus as traitors, swindlers, and jobbers.
Look in at his headquarters at the Glenham
Hotel any day, and you will see scores of
idlers there, who, if they had their dues,
would be doing the State service at Auburn

alarmed. If the character of the men who
have Greeley's ear could only be brought
home to our people, there would be fear and
trembling in the land.
