BE Wise in Time.

Prompt attention to small ailments Ii
the part of wisdom. Not only does a
triiing disorder often eliminate in q
dangerous disease, but those ailments
which many are accustomed to regard as
sstrifies'' are so far from being so, that
they harrass the entire system, by sym
Dathy, to a degree which very seriously
jeopardizes the general health. Take
for example an irregular habit of body,
which many persons are accustomed to
neglect altogether. Into what deplor-
able confusion does it throw the entire
anrnentary region, disordering digestion,
diverting the bile from its natural chan
mel into the blood, and alternating the
vital current into thin, watery, unnu-
trious liquid. If these are not serious
consequences, we should like to know
what are Yet how many entail them
upon themselves by neglecting to regu-
late their bowels when they are out Of
order. rfz-
The best corrective in the case above
described, as well as in all others devel-
Oping indigestive and constipated symp-
toms, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
mild but efficient laxative, which never
gripes or otherwise distresses the patient
and at the same time that 1t yields re-
lief from the special difficulty tones and
invigorates the entire system. The Bit
tiers are equally ef1icacious as diuretic,
promoting healthy secretion and regu
lar nIicturition Of the urine, and sooth-
ing irritation of the bladder or the

yers; nervousness, want of appetite, and
local or general debility are likewise
remedied by this admirable
medicinal stimulant and corrective, as

He is intelligent far above the aver

To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
The RAIDS raised the hue and cry against
Isham G. Harris because they had no
in discussion. And now, that he has
withdrawn or refused to accept the posi-
ton assigned him, they feel comfortable.
But, it is their only theme to slang
whang upon and they viii heap more
abuses upon him behind his back, than
they would have spoken to his face.
Harris is an Ajax upon the hustings and
woe to the small potatoes who would
dare to assail him, face TO face Ex-
Governor Harris ID courteous in debate
and deals not in personalities, nor would
he allow others to deal in them, at AisE
expense. But the small fry politicians
lack the brains TO make an argument in
favor of Hayes, without waving the
bloody shirt and making text upon
Harris. They have no other stock In
trade. FAay ignore the fact that the
leaders Of the Republican, party, have
grown Fioh in the aeFen or eight years.
that they have bsen In Office, by whole
sale stealing, by fiiching from The peo-
pie millions Of their money. by which
Grant, Blaine, Bellxnap, Babcock, Boss
Shepherd, MoKce, Hoheson and other

TzLDEN AND HBNDRIoKSs CLUB.

Maj. Fl. III. IngersoH, of GreeneviIIe,
addressed the Tilden and Hendricks
Club of this place last Thursday night
at the Court House. A large and re
spectacle audience composed of mem.
bers of both political parties were pres
ent. The Major said it was not his pur-
pose or desire to Glitch" to or discuss
the propriety of party names, so far as
Republican, Democrat or Rebel was con-
cerned; that there was nothing in a
name without the promptings of honest
and sincere motives-that a flower by
any other name would smell as sweet,
and thus one party name was as good as
another SO far as the name was concern
ed. And that while he did not like the
name of Republican, he could not say
he had any particular admiration fo1
that of Democrat; but, that his love and
admiration did extend and would coop
crate with the party whose wisdom and
purity of purpose was to give fair and
honest administration to the toiling and
honest people of the land. That in his
watehings and knowledge of the Repub-
ican party for many years, he had new
er seen nor found this to come from their
side, but theireverse. That during the
eleven years they had held the govern
ment reins, chicanery and corruption of
the deepest dye and most horrible form
has marked their career; and he urged
the necessity upon every honest-thinker
and lover of liberty, who desired to see
a change in this country's programme
for the better, to renounee the unjust
and destructive principles of Radicalism
and Grantism, and to come over on the
side of honest REFORM; to emblazon his
name upon the banner of the recognized
champion reformer of the world, Samuel
y. TildeH, and likewise trnst in Hen
bricks, and that in due course of time
all would be well-peace, harmony and
prosperity would prevail over the land.
He gave nnimpeachabie proof from the
mooths of leading and influential mem
bers of the Radical party that Grants
administration was nothing more nor
less than swindle and fraud; that he
encouraged and defended the rotten cor
ruptionists and plunderers in all their
wicked and evil doings, and even pays
them out of their crimes when caught
and awaiting to be punished. His expo
sition of Grant, Belknap, Babcock s. Co.
was thorough, exhaustive and conclu-
sive. He spoke nearly two hours. and
was frequently applaudcd,

unpleasant facts of dereliction, the rela-

one of us were student enough to impair

NEW YORK.

The New York Democratic State
Convention met at Saratoga the
30th. and was largely attended. The
platform. which was unanimously
adopted starts out with cordial
ratification of. Tilden and Hendricks
for President and President I;
re-decfares that a return to the Con-
stitutional principles, galexpend-
iture and administrative purity of
the founders Of the republic is the
first and most imperious necessity of
the times-the commanding issue
now before the people ofthis Union !;
reaffi-ms the principles set forth in
the Syracuse platform of 1874 and
in the st. Louis National Conven-
ton; condemning all interference
with the constitutional amendments
and all violations of laws; holding
that all the people in all the States
alike, regardless of race, color or
condition. are entitled to equal pro-
lection. and that all orders, practices
and opinions whereby public order
and peace are disturbed should re-
ceive public rebulze and punishment;
enters solemn protest against the
recent order of the Secretary Of
War. approved by the President of
the United States. placing govern
ment troops in the Southern States,
with view to intimidate the people
and control their elections; a gov
eminent by the ,bayonetsto take the
place of q government through bal
lot, is an outrage which demands the
condemnation of all who love re-
publican freedom and hate despotic
power.
Ex-Governor IIoratio Seymour
was nominated for Governor by ac>.
clamation, notwithstanding the pres
ence In the Convention of a dispatch
from him peremtorily declining the
use of his name for the position His
health is of such character that ne
cennot accept any position OF the
kind. In an interview with re-
porter since the nomination, he said !:
Il have done everything in my pow
er to prevent my nomination being
made, and while [ appreciate the
honor my friends would bestow up
on me, / must say now that the same
reason for refusing the nomination
which then existed still exists. |

from DIR. Churchill, one of my physi-
clans, forbidding me making any

or any other public position would
be detrimental. if it did not prevent
my ultimate recovery. In view of
these facts, it will be impossible for
me to accept the nomination, and l
SO informed the gentlemen from
Saratoga who waited on me, this
morning, requesting my acceptance.
Icannot see how Mr.. Faulkner could
have been misled into making the
statement he is reported to have
made. 1t may be that what really
said has been misconstrued. There
are a number of good men in our
ranks who are eminently qualified to
fill the position of Governor. The
nomination now rests with the State
Executive Committee, which is
friendly to Gov. Tilden, and who
will no doubt select one of number
who will coneiliate all interests"
1t will devolve upon the State Ex-I
eeutive Committee to nominate q
candidate for Governor, and as Che
Committee are in sympathy with Mr.
Tilden, there is no fear of a good
and successful man being put upon
the track in place of Gov. Seymour.
