Stop that Cough MANY hesitate

Stop that Cough MANY hesitate
to try remidy for disease, On ac-
count of the expense, connected with
the uncertainty Of its benefting them;
while at the same time, had they con-
fdence in that remidy, the expense
would be the least objection: With
this fact in view, We make the follow
ing proposition Any person suffer-
ing with a cold, cough or sore throat
that win call at f. j. Woods
Drug store and purchase a bottle OF
HALE's Cough CORDIAL, use one
half Of it, and if they then conclude
that it is doing them no good, they can
return the bottle and receive back
their money.
No medicine ever sold in this vicin-
ity, has produced such magical results.
Don't fail to try it.

FURTHER FACTS relative to the sad
death of the young journalist are re-
vealed. The following we clip from a
special dispatch to the Milwaukee Ser
tSnel:
A gentleman from the vicinity of
Whitehall has made notes of the entries
iu Grimwoods notebook. They con-
vey little information farther than what
was communicated last night On two
of the leaves there was what appeared
to be the beginning of his account of
the trip, evidently written soon after
starting. 1t ran as follows:
UPIN A BALLOON!

ing us down stairs Parkinson was
also travelling around at the expense OF
the State.
Gen. Ed. Bragg made the most elo-
quent speech, reported as follows:
In opening he freely and rather ia
cetiousiv admitted that he knew as
we'll as any one in the ROOM that Tay-
ior was an old ignoramus, wholly unfit
for his place. There wasn't man in
the room but would make better gov
error. (Great applause He knew
nothing and could do nothing. But
Notwithstanding all this, the rank and
file of the party believe IN him. The
farmers see in him the Potter law per-
sonifed. They believe that he made
the law and afterward secured the de-
cision of the Supreme Court affirming
its validity. Gentlemen, you could
not make them believe anything else.
They say he is an honest old farmer,
and that he is the great Tribune of
the people, while we all know that he
is great old ass. (Roars of laugh
ter.) The people want chaff; it is
good for them; now they want saw
dust aud they should have it, in Tay-
lor. (Renewed laughter.) But
while we admit that he is weak and
worthless We must acknowledge that
he is comparatively harmless. and the
favor he has among the farmers should
lead us to support him. We know
that he has been seen by the railroad
officials; we know too that he has
drawn about him a kitchen cabinet of
low-tricky politicians who use him as
their tool-but the ordinary voters
would not believe this. | have trav-
eled a great deal through my county
lately. Everywhere the farmers spoke
in favor of Taylor. They will support
no one else so enthusiastically. His
election is not so important as it is to
secure majority in the Legislature
next session. There will be new APP
portionment then and Democrats should
be careful to elect their members. A
split in the party would be fatal to the
cause, and for that reason alone l
think we should stand by Taylor
A rambling debate followed, one or
two standing by Taylor as necessity
to get the farmers votes, but acknowl-
edging that they were ashamed of their
man. ~.
Philo Dunning, Of Madison, said for
one he was opposed to Taylor, who was
a disgrace to the party. The report
concludes
The anti-Taylorits are jubilant with
even this result. They say that Tay-
lor has no strength ontside of the Off
Gals he has appointed, and that they
will send him higher than Donaldson's
balloon on the 9Th of September.
Of course all the Reform papers
charge that these are Republican lies,
but the Sentinel dares each and every
one of them to disprove or deny the
utterance of the words charged to have
been spoken.
There is moral to this strange pic
ture. The fact is revealed that there
is no moral or political honesty in the
reform party. It put man forward
for governor in 1873, because of his
availability, disregarding his qualifca-
tions for the position. Now they con-
fess among themselves his weakness,
but are willing to support ''great old
ass cold ignoramus'' if. SO they
can win in the gubernatorial race at
the coming election. Comment is I'M
necessary.

The WooD County deviltry with all
that name implies, which is more than
can be told in brief column of any
paper in the world was argued before
the Supreme Court on the 9th inst.
We understand that decision by the
court will be given on the 9th. The
Attorneys of the Ring have endeavor-
ed to arrest Judgment in every possible
way; the last grand effort being an at
tempt to convince the Supreme Court
that it was fooling with something it
had no business with. Undoubtedly
the court knows it's biz. and will give
its decision promptly before the 1st of
September. Such efforts as have been
made to put the case over, and there
by continue Mr.. Baker in the possess
ion of the Office through the term for
which Mr.. Wood was elected, are un-
worthy the devil who would have been
more honorable. There is heap of
"big hole'' yet to be plugged up, we
conjecture, else the political rufians
would be less anxious to hold on to
that Office for life. But then Levi
knew nothing about it! O, no.!
He's as innocent as an unconcieved
sheep!
