FA IT'S:
There are more Parker Guns in the hands of
American Sportmen than any Foreign breech-

Illefe are three times as many Parker Gunsi in
the hands OF American spOrtnen as there are f
any other American made breech-lOader,
AT the Utica convention of the New York State

men who used the Parker gun was equal to that

ers, OF both American and Foreign make com
While the Parker gun is so often repOrted as
distinguishing itself at large shoots throughout
the country, it is noticeable that few such reports
are made OF any other gun.
The lowest price Parker guns are within reach

-Harper's Weekly is emphatically op.
posed to the third term" folly. 1t says
that the President should speak out upon
the subject. The Republican newspapers
are unanimously opposed to the election
of President Grant for third term; and
yet there seems to be an impression out
that the President entcrtains hope that
he may be again selected as the Republic
can candidate for the Presidency. Be.
lieving, as we do, that Gen Grant is a
man Of good judgment. it seems hardly
possible that he could expect or desire q
position for which he could not reasona-
bly, hope to have the assistance or sym
patty of those who have been his friends
and supporters. Silence upon the subject
will give his enemies an opportunity to
misrepresent him; and the effect will be-
as it has already been, to injure the Re.
publican party.
