GAGETOwN, n. b., July Y, 1868.
Mr. JAMES l. FELLOWS, Chemist-Dear Sir
Allow me to bear my testimony in favor Of your
Compound Syrup Of Hypophosphtes. have used
it myself for tuberculosis with marked benefit,
and have given it to q great number of my pa
tients, with the same results as experienced from
its use. During the last seven years have de-
voted myself almost exclusively to the treatment
of Consumption, having cases under my care in
all parts Of the Province; so that l am enabled to
speak from experience Of the benefits derived from
its use.
The most marked was a case which was under
my care in March last. This was patient who
had been under treatment nine months with no
beneficial results. When first saw him, he was
so feeble that he could not sit up long enough to
have his heart and lungs examined. What dis
ease be had been treated for did not appear, but
found him suffering under Chronic Splenitis. lie
had severe Cough, Dyspn9a, Palpitation OF the
Heart, Impaired Digestion, and consequent gen
sral emaeiation. put him under treatment.
prescribed your Compound Syrup OF Hypophos-
phites, and after using -four, bottles, he was
able to attend to his farm, and ID now perfectly
well. In March he was given up by four physi-
ing eighteen acres of land, and had run up in flesh
from 1856 to las pounds weight.
send you this for the purpose Of making what
use you please Of it, and wish you all success in
your labor for the benefit Of suffering humanity.
Strongly recommending the use of your Com
pound Syrup Of HyPophosphites to all who suffer
in any way from disease or weakness of the Lungs,
Bronchial Tubes, or general debility. Believe
me your obedient servant.

ygE yEX7 PRESIDENT-THE RESELL
IN NOFEKBER.

The Boston Journal of Saturday pub
lished another article signed "Six Specta'
tors" giving most comprehensive ano
complete calculation in regard to the Presi
Dental campaign. In former article:
from the same source it was concluded
that Mr.. Blaine would be the republican
candidate for President and Mr.. Hendricks
the democratic candidate. That conclu'
sion is reaffirmed, and upon the hypothe'
sis that they arc to be the candidates the
result OF the campaign is estimated. Put
ting the ''field" against the field or the
two parties against each other at the worst
without regard to candidates. they present
the following division of the electoral
vote: Republican 1856; democratic 50;
doubtful 1853. The total electoral vote.
counting Colorado is 500. After this
showing they add:
Next. we come to consider the canvass with ref
erencc to the two candidates whose nomination
appears to us probable. We give, first, table
showing at glance the result OF our comparison
Of notes, and, secondly, the reasons which led us
to this conclusion.

cratic majority Of the year before, giving the Re
publicans nearly six thousand. Connecticut In
1865 reversed the Democratic majority Of the yea'
previous and gave the Republicans 5000, and in
1872 it increased the previous Republican MAORI
ty of 100 to nearly $780,
We ask special attention to the action OF New
York and New Jersey in the years named as most
emphatically illustrating our view. In 1868 New
York furnished the Democratic candidate ior
President-a man who was Justly Claimed person
| ally to be stronger in that State and New jersey
than any other whom the party could present
| Horatio Seymour. Yet, with every advantage'
the Democratic ma ority of 5000 IN 1851 was re-
duced to II, 900 in 1868, and in New Jersey the
| Democratic majority was reduced from io'ooo 10
! 5000. In 1872, with another New York Candidate,
New York increased the Republican majority OF
| 10 900 the previous year to 81, 900, and New Jer-
Sc, reversed the Democratic majority, 60o0, OF the
previous year, giving the Republicans l3,ooo.
| Figures like these carry an argument which we
are unable to resist.
| We need not carry this line Of reasoning fur
ther. No candid reader can study these figures
and those of the other States named without con-
GLIDING as we have, Il at the Republican party,
with leader who commands the enthusiastic sup
port which Mr.. Blaine does against the Democrat
ic party, with man of negative merits ike Mr.
Hendricks, can carry by good maJorlties all the
so-caed doubtful States which we have claimed
for them.
The article closes with q review OF the
chances of Mr.. Tilden to be elected in
case he were nominated instead OF Hen
bricks, and shows him a much weaker can
didate than Hendricks by fair and sound
calculation. The article concludes as it
began with the prediction that Blaine and
Hendricks will be the candidates of their
respective parties, and that Hendricks will
"bc beaten by the superior strength OF the
republican candidate no less than by the
interchangeable habit of the republican
"parv's drawing out its full vote at Pres
"dential elections"

Mr. Blaine would thus be elected by majority
of los electoral votes. We reach this conclusion
by first giving the democrats every Southern State
over which they have local control. An objection
was raised to this that many Of them gave their
electoral votes to Grant in 1872, and that the ma
tional election always calls out larger proportion
Of the colored republican vote. But upon COM
parison Of views with many leading republicans
we deem it unsafe to count upon single electoral
vote where the Southern democrats have the pow
er to control the election laws, in view Of the dec
laration of Robert Toombs, that the democrats OBJ
tanned power in Georgia "by carrying the black
vote by intimidation and bribery" and that they
will buy them as long as they are voters. 1t Is
barely possible that Virginia and North Carolina
and Mississippi would bring out republican ma
jority if this condition were otherwise; but We
dealing with the probabilities, and not with what
should be the condition. and hence. with the ex-
ception of three States, we give the whole Of the
Southern States to Hendricks.
With regard to the Northern States we differ so
widely with the democratic and "independeht' off,
hand speculations that propose to show by facts
and figures, which even they must acknowledge
to be incontestible, that a positive, wide awake
candidate like Mr.. Blaine can more than justify
our prediction in his behalf. In the first place the
liberal element of the last few years We find TO be
rapidly drifting back to the republican party, and
with them no man is so popular As Mr.. Blaine.
No enc can pursue the "course Of instruction" in
Washington which we have taken during the last
few weeks without coming to the same conclusion.
This will be no uncomfortable addition to the re-
publican party in New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvsnia, Ohio and Indiana. The last named
state, by the way, we give to MIR Hendricks only
because it is his home. and State pride goes for
considerable, although he is by no means sure Of
it. In the second place, no State east of Indiana
would vote for a man who is doubtful upon the
currency question, as Hendricks is acknowledged,
we might say, boasied to be. Neither would he
find much favor in the far Western states. In the
third place, and more important than all other
considerations, must bear in mind, as before
mentioned, that in Presidential years the increase
of the republican vote in the Northern States is
very much larger than that Of the democratic vote.
This fact is so generally overlooked by the All h.
metic men who make figures merely 10 represent
their wishes that We have taken pains to place the
statistics in such a form to be conclusive at q
glance. We present in the following table the
majorities for either party in certain Northern
States the last two Presidential elections (lS6S
and 1922 compared in parallel columns with tt e
majoriues at the State elections Immediately pre-
ceding (lS67 and ls1l).
