Bull, who makes so much fuss about his

wants five gallons more than the Proyi-

Sheffield he uses five gallons less than

arises for debating societies: Which is

twenty gallons day, or the one who

Judgment Of the Public {!

During the past five years the public have
carefully observed the wonderful cures accom-
plished from the use of VEGETINE. From its
use many an afflicted sufferer has been restored
to perfect health, after having expended small
fortune in procuring medical advice and OBJ
tanning poisonous mineral medicines.
Its medical properties are Alternative, Tonic,
Solvent and Diuretic. There is no disease Of
the human system for which the YEGETINE
cannot be used with perfect safety, as it does
not contain any metallic or poisonous CON-
pound. IL is composed exclusively of barl.s,
roots and herbs; il is very pleasant to take;
every child likes il. II is safe and reliable, IS

The st. Louis Gi0Je. Democrat, Q

the abolition Of onr National coz

substitute could be found for rs mach
of it as is desirable to be retained, by
merely allowing the Electoral Col
Iege to choose the President after
they have been chosen themselves.
In other words, the States, instead
Of sending delegates to National
Convention, where the strength Of
the party is neutralized by minority
delegates, might content themselves
with nominating Electors either ut .
State Convention or by local Con-
ventions, and voting for them with
out regard to the Presidential candi-
dates. The result would be that q
party could not he made to serve the
ambition or to screen the obscurity of
any one man; its influence would be
exercised only by those who repre-
sented its strength, while irrespOnsi-
bic power would be excluded. The
local Conventions would be muck
more careful than they now are
about the choice of their representa-
tives, aud their representatives
would be much more careful than
they now are about the choice of q
President. 1t would be return to
the method which the Constitution
obviously intended, and though
doubtless it may, upon trial, reveal
objections which do not appear upon
the surface, the removal OF the Ma
.ional Convention would give us 4
clearer prospect through difficulties
and dangers that have unconsci0usly
surrounded our PresideDt-making.
We have been very fortunate during
the continuance Of the Convention
system i'm making nominations that
have generally been indorsed by the
party, although the case OF Mr.
Greeley serves to show that man
who has been nominated by two
parties may be the candidate OF
neither; but il We return to the con-
