National Republican., 1876-12-13

The eyes Of Republican leaders are opening
to the fact that Governor Growers coup d. etat
is but the entering wedge to another and
bolder usurpation OF power by which the
Democracy propose to snatch the reins of
Government from the hands of those who
hold them by constitutional and legitimate
right. Their mouthings and shadowy schemes
are operating perceptibly upon the more timid
minds which fringe the Republican border
and are known as the Conservative element.
They begin to enter long protests against the
protracted struggle, and are: uttering solemn
diatribes against politicians for not yielding
one side or the other, and settle the question
at once. The Democracy crave these doleful
uttersnces from the Conservative element,
finding in them a hope that they may yet
arouse public sentiment in behalf of their wan
ing cause. But they will find that Republi-
cans will never yield one scintilla of that
which is theirs BY right, and that there is no
peace except in the triumph Of that principle.
Republicans are conscious that the owl Is
Minerals bird.

Catarrh in its extent and destructive force

one to the other is only a question of time. 1t is
therefore singular thing that those afflicted with
it should not make it the object of their lives to rid
themselves of it. single bottle of any remedy
cannot IN the chronic stage, effect cure nor even
bring the system under its influence fully. In
many such cases the bones and cartilage OF the

useless the uvula so elongated and inflamcd as "
produce Il constant and distressing cough. Inc

ne daily comes to hand, we become more and more
satisfied that there does not exist case OF Catarrh
that cannot be cured by judicious and persistent
use of Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh. The
relief in every case obtained from the first dose is
an indication OF what it will do when the system is
brought constitnliona!ly under its influence.
