Mr.. Tilden, you known what this
contrast attests. Right we'll do you
comprehend the means whereby the
vote Of 1868 was thus swelled out of
all proportions. There are not $4,000
legal voters living in these wards to-
day, though they gave Hoffman II ,443
majority. Had the day been of aver
age length 1t would doubtless have
been swelled to at least 10000. There
was nothing but time needed to make
it 100000, if SO many had been want
ed and paid for. 9taW ae
Now, Mr.. Tilden, I call on you to
put a stop to this business Yea have

Merit Recognized.

Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster received
the highest and only reward of merit at the
Philadelphia Exposition over all articles of
like character, proving by the highest medical
authority in the world that they are greatly
superior to ordinary porous plasters, and not
patent medicine, as no nostrums were al
lowed TO be exhibited there. Benson's Cap
cine Porous Plaster is positively the best ex-
ternal remedy ever devised. They relieve
pain at once, and cure where other porous
plasters only relieve after long use. Over
three thousand physicians now recommend
their use, and they are sold by druggists
everywhere. Price, 25 cents.

Burned TO Death.

Some time since the wife of Officer George
W. Nokes died, leaving him with a family of
small children. After her death he employed
q colored woman to take charge of the little
ones. Yesterday morning this woman locked
the youngest child, Noyal, boy three years
old, up in the kitchen of No. 722 I street
southeast while she went out on some bust
ness. Shortly after the child made his ap-
pearance at the window with his clothes in
flames, and attracted the attention Of people
living on the opposite side of the street. They
rushed over, burst open the door and extin-
guished the blaze, but not before the unfor-
tunate boy was fatally burned. Death re-
lieved him of his sufferings at $50 O'Clock last
evening. No one can tell how the clothes
caught fire. Officer Nokes, who has thus
been so sadly afflicted, has the sympathy of
his many friends throughout the city.
